/games/ - Video Games

i'm afraid people will make fun of me if they see playing a game on my phone. usually i'll just scroll through my pictures if i'm waiting somewhere.

Used to play a bunch of chink gachas but got sick of them. East asian grinding + microtransaction + increasing hardware demand turned me away. The only one with good gameplay I played is Arknights, the rest are turn based auto battler trash. I also played Genshin on PC which has fun exploration but it'll probably look like shit on the phone. I heard succubi Frontline 2 will be an XCOM clone. Looks fun.

mobile games are trash you have to be a foid to even try them

Only good gacha and mobile game in general that I played was The Alchemist Code. Tactical RPG.

my phone's lcd and battery have a limited lifespan. i only use it for reading at low brightness at night primarily

The best games to play on a phone are old console games, emulated. That says something about the state of mobile gaming.

It's all about practice, you can learn to play those games with anything. The first part on Dreamcast even supports fishing rod controllers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4UE9WR70iU
I sometimes use a controller with it too, but I only do that when I'm sure there are no hobos around who might want it steal it from me.

Genshin Impact is practically an improved version of Zelda: Breath of the Wild that you get to play on a phone or tablet without spending a cent of real money.

The downside is the huge updates. I just updated the client for 27gb. Which lasts forever on my 20mb internet.

Phone games suck, and even if you emulate actual games, playing on a touchscreen sucks. The experience may be better if you use those controllers for phones like picrel, but I would rather play on an actual handheld console. You can get a used PSP or 3DS/2DS for quite cheap and easily hack it and be able to emulate a lot of systems, aside from playing their native libraries for free. I own a 3DS but I also ordered a Vita and I'm waiting for it to arrive. The Switch and the Deck have more and newer games (especially the latter since it's basically a PC…), but they're more expensive and less portable.

>they're more expensive and less portable.
The first few submodels of Switch are the expensive ones, but if you do get one, it's uncompromisingly crackable. Joycons are tiny and what's great is that they don't need to be plugged in to the system to be used.

the people replying to this post who don't like mobile games should try skullgirls mobile, yes there is a pc version of this game but the mobile version is also so good

SKullgirls is crap. The mobile version removed a bunch of things deemed to no longer be aligned with "modern sensibilities".

Nah, I don't give toxic feminine companies the time of day.

I played Standoff 2 with some Ukrainian faggots recently
