Quoting: scaineBut it looks so good, I think I'll pull the trigger on it anyway.

If you want to wait, but still want a game that scratches that same itch, you could always try out Crosscode if you haven't already. Gameplaywise, they're very, very similar.

...you know, like it says in the trailer I didn't watch until after I posted this.

Quoting: Cyba.CowboySteam Frame (stupid name!).

Yeah, but what else could they call it while still keeping in theme?

Quoting: buckysrevengeI live in a city 1½ hours south of Seattle, I remember buying the Steam Deck when it first came out and was so excited to get it in a couple days... then I found out it was shipping from Chicago and took over a week to get to me.

That's a kick in the butt, ain't it?

Fortunately, I was able to get in just ahead of the rush, and grab one for myself. It's currently sitting in a box somewhere in Washington state. I bet it has a label on it and everything.

No, I'm not impatient at all.

Valve still hasn't shipped my controller. I'm starting to get antsy. Might have to write a sternly worded letter...

Quoting: MalThe thing is no game was ever developed to take advantage of the full featureset of the steam controller

I always thought the original SC was great for any games that leverage the mouse and keyboard, but fell short when it came to more console-centric, standard controller style games. I'd argue that I'm actually better with the trackpad and gryo in game like Boltgun and Doom these days than I am with the tried and true kb/m setup, but using the old SC with a twinstick shooter would be an exercise in suck.

The Steam Deck fixed that issue by providing you with almost all the input methods you could ever possibly want, and the means to do whatever you want with them. It's what got me clamoring for the SC2, and now that it's out, I'm tickled freaking pink!

In short, there's nothing built for the Steam Controller, but the Steam Controller is pretty much built for everything, and is pretty good at of it in my opinion.

Quoting: tarmo888Gyro as Joystick Camera on the other hand, just does micro-adjustments by default - adjustments that joystick isn't accurate enough to do.

I've had the opposite experience. Gyro to Mouse works great once you set it up right, but I've never been able to get Gyro to joystick camera to work the way I'd like. It feels floaty to me, and if the game you're playing uses a built in deadzone, you'll always have trouble zeroing in those super tight aims.

Quoting: GuestDo you know if the capacitive grips have configuration or are they just binary?

I imagine it'll be exactly like the capacitive thumbsticks on the Steam Deck, so it'll just be able to determine whether you're touching it or not.

Quoting: detroutI finally got through, but there was a warning "Delivery delays expected due to high order volume" once I got to the confirm my purchase step.

I've heard that the wait is now about 10 business days, but I don't know how true that is.

I'm still holding out hope that I'll luck out, and get it by Friday.
