Need a new controller? The 8BitDo Ultimate C 2.4G looks great
9 May 2023 at 12:36 pm UTC

Quoting: StoneColdSpiderDoes this one have the hall effect sensor analogue sticks???
I really hated how they released two "Ultimate" controllers but only 1 had the hall effect sensor analogue sticks......
I don't think this one will. On Amazon, the Ultimate version that does have it, clearly states so in the description of the item, as well as being £20+ in comparison with the version that doesn't.

The controllers look great, and my Steam Controller is slowly giving in. Hopefully there will be some offer on the Ultimate eventually.

I honestly don't know how do companies test their games to release them in a mess like this. I guess it's our own responsiblity too for having short term memory and allow it.

I'm happy for this decision, but very sad for the amount of opinions thinking that megacorporations and mergers are a good thing.

If only games from GOG are used with the client, what's the advantage of Heroic Games over Lutris or Minigalaxy?

Edit: Not trying to create any sort of dispute, just curious to see if worth to make the change.

One could be talking in an alien language to me, and probably understand more than I do how FSR works... xD

I've never played Overwatch, but if it's the same case, I also don't understand it :)

No true next-gen Steam Deck for 'a few years' Valve say
10 Mar 2023 at 1:09 pm UTC Likes: 2

I love the Steam Deck, and even if not totally related to this, my biggest 'meh' right now is that some games that are Steam Deck verified, when played offline, don't unlock achievements when Wi-Fi connection is back. I know is a stupid thing, and overall I don't care that much for achievements, but there are times when I put the effort to get one, so I'd prefer seeing it unlocked :D

By having a 'target' device in PC, it seems we could benefit from better optimization overall, and that's very good for the average gamer (and the planet), so I'm happy Valve waiting 'years' to see a true next gen, companies seeing the potential of the current one, etc.

Now, 'not true next-gen' well means that in a few months they could release a Deck with better battery life, with OLED, or SSD.
