You can connect a wireless controller and have a touch screen. The internals are stronger than the majority of consoles, and those consoles produced some of the best games of all time.
It's not the phone's capabilities that's the problem. It's the publishers and developers farming whales and women, in the f2p trash.
My phone has a ton of emulators on it, and it's able to give me a good experience.
>not the capabilities
nice try. phones are shit >shit thermals >reboots as voltage drops at heavy loads >wi-fi sucks (btw nobody's gonna carry an ethernet adapter and a oowered usb hub) >shit ergonomics >shitty toy OSs with no admin rights that kill your games when it feels like it (you can't override this without rooting/jailbreaking btw) >impossible to bypass ~~*play integrity*~~/~~*notarization*~~ anti-consumer DRM >no local backups
I reiterate: phones are shit.
I had a galaxy s3 or something that I played solitare and some shark game on it but other than that my phone is for work, porn, calls, and posting when I'm ip banned on my wifi
I used the free month sub recently to play Sonic Dream Team and ended up giving fantasian and that one Okami-like platinum game a try. They were pretty fun.
nah mobile gaming is better fr cause of a few things like the games are cheaper and they mostly free too and everybody got a phone but not always a pc and a pc like 1500 these days a phone only 1000, plus microtransactions aint even bad when the game free also we got fortnite, resident evil, everything plus emulators and im deadass too
Mobile games aren't for you and me in the same way that marvel movies aren't for cinephiles. It is the lowest form of the medium meant to appeal to people who just want the experience the medium in a casual, non-intensive way.
Idle Poring RO is the only mobile game I have ever played the shit out of. And then they SHUT IT DOWN the fricking bastards. Probably wasn't get enough whale $$$. Now they just have those soulless 3D "do everything for you" games they shill for. Why are all Korean devs so GAY
>powerful, highly portable device that I carry around with me all the time has no games that I want to actually play on it
13 year old me got monkey pawed hard.
Mobile games were ok on the beggining but turned out mobile plebs don't want to pay $20, they rather watch some ads or spent $2000 on microtransactions. It's a rule of nature pal, mobile games were cursed by thirdies.

what the frick?
seriously, what do people even play?
I don't get it. I used to play games on my GBA and PSP all the time when I was a teen. Why do I not like phone games? Even with a controller attached to a phone I just don't like it.
>market composes by masses of consumerist cattle with sandards so low they make consolegays blush >"games" worse than table scraps >99% of them are live service garbage so overloaded with means to extract money from players they make you wonder if they're even games
I wonder how things would work if phones weren't permanently connected to the internet
Genshin Impact was fun and comfy. I played it for 300 or so hours. There’s also a lot of GTAs and Bully on App Store. Also Civilization VI. I have been playing a lot of Clash of Clans lately too. Thinking about getting pic rel as iOS has good support for Joy Cons

Phones are dogshit for actual games

Touchscreen puts a really hard limit on what can be done with mobile games.
There are some fun games on Apple Arcade.
I used the free month sub recently to play Sonic Dream Team and ended up giving fantasian and that one Okami-like platinum game a try. They were pretty fun.
Just proves that genocide and mass depopulation would actually not be a bad thing.
I literally just play Slay the Spire on my phone. Everything else is irredeemable garbage. Up to A18 on Defect.
There are exactly 2 good mobile games, #YMBAB and Desert Golf
Taiko no tatsujin pop tap beat wants a word.

Yeah I bet it does
I replayed 10000000 and You Must Build a Boat last year. Pretty fun.
DRASTIC EMULATOR

No one in this thread is talking about the morons that drop all their money on in-app purchases
Bad North plays really well on mobile, highly recommend

Looks good. Thanks for the rec
I'm getting tired of only having picross on my phone
All those gamergirls on their androids 64!

Divinity Original Sin 2 has a mobile port. What the frick
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/resident-evil-village/id6450980545
android is better
>what is apk lol
mobile games are in general way more experimental than pc/console. if you ignore the mountain of pajeet unity projects of course
oh
The only games worth playing are console/pc ports, I'm playing Trials of Mana atm.

Sega Pocket Club Manager reminds me of mii 3Ds games
Are there any sandbox mobile games
I would play those
Nanaca Crash is available on mobile
Assassins Creed and Resident Evil are now mobile-first franchises.
fitting considering their quality
>Loved flash games
>Hate phonegames
I don't get it myself either.
Temple run
The Infinity Blade games were really fricking fun, shame that you can't download them anymore
Earn to Die and Time Surfer were fun too
Punch Quest was another good one
There was also a game on iOS that was like those Boom Blox games on the Wii, but I don't remember what it was called
I just emulate, most mobile games are add-ridden shitshows
I think gacha and "game" gambling should be illegal.
This is a pretty based site. There's plenty of non predatory good mobile games. Polytopia, BuriedBorne, Data Wing, etc

Does anyone remember picrel. Almost 15 years ago and it was genuinely exciting to see where mobile gaming would go. Now it's all dogshit shovelware.
Playing San Andreas on my phone thanks to Netflix
I like to play the chatting game
Here are my go to mobile games

>maybe I'll find a cool game on /vmg/
>literally all gacha shit
/vmg/ is the purgatory for gachas that aren't fast enough for a /vg/ thread
I genuinely do not understand how people both play an enjoy these. They are brain rotting.
>number go up autism
>fat anime breasts
it's not difficult at all
You either play Champion of Realms or you just aren't a phone gamer.
I love point and click games and sadly there's like only 5 games on android. broken sword, thumbleweed park and some wadjet games. that's it.
