Posted November 29, 2021 Steam Deck has been making waves, but now that it’s delayed, could the Android-powered GPD XP be the best gaming handheld to hold you over through the holidays?

Posted November 29, 2021 I'm confused at what market? for who? if there are lower/cheaper options, then go for that? the UI tools seems like a cool additional thing. Also that it wants you to use phone controls in some of it's design choices? why? if the phone gaming market was a lot better, then maybe, and using better control/gameplay designs.

Like you say, nintendo is a bit backwards when it comes to modern network solutions. When trying someone elses nintendo to deal with networking issues or saving or whatever else around it, was such a pain and not fun. At least their games and library holds up to a degree, like seen with people caring about wanting the OLED version even if they wanted an upgraded one.

While devices like this, is inbetween your phone and a handheld. When you got better handheld solutions, it's just not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which they say, is going with some improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 30, 2021 I’ll watch the video but I’ve been wondering about a portable Gamepass client. But this has to be a lot better than say a Razer thing to attach to my iPhone (or my other smartphone with Android at least, or my hacked Vita) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 8, 2021 @GabenJr In case you didn't know, GPD wrote following reply in their social media account back in August: Quote 我个人是严于律己，而且我可以明确地说，网上只要有盗版游戏可下，那我就不会去买正版，但是我可没说这是优势，我从来都认为能找到盗版并且能下载到并且还能玩上盗版游戏那你就超越99%的人了，你认为描述一个现象就是显摆谁优谁劣吗？ Translation: I am self-disciplined, and I can say with confidence, if the internet provide pirated games, I will never buy a legal copy, but I'm not saying this is an advantage. I have always believed if you can find a pirated game, download it, play the pirated game, then you are better than 99% of the population. You think describing a phenomenon is showing off who is better and who is not? In the following articles GPD never corrected themselves, but instead attacked Steam Deck further. This screenshot also shows their support for pirated games, suggesting Steam Deck will always have anti-piracy methods, so you don't have any chance to play pirated games on Steam hardwares. Now seeing their astonishing statements, you would understand why GPD has a horrible reputation even in their home market China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 8, 2021 @GabenJr Sorry I can no longer find the screenshot for that particular quote. I remember that was a reply to one of the users questioning why they appear to support piracy. But I did find these. Translation: torrocat: GPD pre-installed windows system, can this be understood as GPD supports piracy? GPD: It can be understood this way, anyway the Windows eco-system is always like this worldwide. Translation: GPD: If you want to play pirated games, you have to come back to Windows system.
