This title screen brought me right back to the first time I played it as a kid… Half-Life was one of the first cinematic feeling games, and this feels like the perfect way to replay it 25 years later.
I’ve been playing this at locked 90fps using only 5 watts TDP and getting nearly 10 hours of battery life. It is glorious!
Lucky! Mine still hasn’t arrived, 3-5 days my ass lol
That is 3-5 business days my man! Lol. Im in the same boat.
Why does the screen not look like it’s on?
It’s an OLED screen, most of it isn’t on!
I don’t remember my Switch looking like that? I’ll have to check when I get home.
It seems to me that this limited edition steam deck was really meant to be a half life special edition based on the timing of the 25th anniversary of half life and the orange palette.
Cries in European
Cries in Norwegian, they dont sell any steamdeck here.
Well, I got mine(LCD) from Elkjøp some weeks ago. The OLED will come.
Right there with ya, it’s so gorgeous and I want it but I’m a filthy European 😭😭😭
I dont understand, if you guys wanted one just use a proxy.
They’d need to proxy their address/house. Not sure that tech exists, yet.
not that easy
You’ve got to provide your delivery address dude therefore giving your location away or is there a way around that?
It’s really hard to deliver a shoebox sized parcel through a proxy server.
Yeah, I’m not sure what he means. How would they deliver it?!
Llora en Mexicano
Fuck… Now that you mention it, that really makes me want one.
Bit poor at the moment though :(
lol same here . I dig the design. I have a LCD one which I got a year ago .
Hyped to see them give half life some updates for playability on deck.
I couldn’t figure it out, couldn’t bring up the menu and save, but at least I got to watch that opening sequence again.
For some reason on my deck I haven’t got any character movement on HL. Even when I try various available controller profiles nothing works and I can’t move.
This is the way
Damn I got the 512, because I wasn’t a fan of the matter screen, but seeing this is making me regret my decision
Damn, what an improvement from the LCD.
This looks like a futuristic steam deck with no bezels
The etched finish blends really well with the bezels. I finally don’t mind when a game doesn’t support 16x10.
one more time, everybody’s feeling fine Here we go now Yes yes yes yes here we go, *NSYNC has got the flow
Yeah I snagged Half-Life on the sale plus a couple of others.
I was hoping for big discounts on the newer AAA games like Hogwarts and Starfield but not so far…Nah no mods necessary. The first part will feel a little slow but stick with it and remember that these were the quake days, so people talking, acting things out in front of you, etc. was all brand new. So the game sort of revels in that for the first half an hour to an hour.
But it’s also a great atmospheric and combat game, and so it really picks up once shit hits the fan. Hope you enjoy it!
Premium Steam Deck Vent smell
Gave me goosebumps, bro. ;)
How’s the grippier thumbsticks compared to the og version? Does it make a difference at all?
Much better. The OG thumbsticks were some of the worst I’ve used on a controller to be honest (they were too slippery and too flat). The OLED ones are a bit concave and have a grippy material now.
