ROG Phone: What do you guys think of gaming smartphones?
| Mobile gaming market is infested with "free with optional IAPs" trash and I don't see it changing.
| Mobile gaming is and will remain for a long time a collection of time-sinkers. Absolutely nothing serious can be made on a phone since let's be honest - who would invest all that money on it? Especially now that Nintendo Switch is a thing there is no reason to buy something as expensive that will only have a shittier version of PUBG or some shitty anime hack-and-slashs as it's library when you can play fucking Skyrim or Splatoon on the go.
| Maybe in the future, but as of now I'm pretty satisfied with my phone just doing its primary function
| Huge waste of money and time. Isn't vidya on your pc enough?
| I feel like there isnt enough on the side of games to make these gaymen phones worth it. If there were more software, it'd be much bigger than it is. But i love the addons for the ROG phone, usb-c has added a lot to the market.
| Meh, just get yourself a bluetooth controller
| Member Game.com?
| Mobile Legend and Arena of Valor and such are hella famous over here in Southeast Asia. Our nascent e-sport scene is mostly mobile games.
So yea, it's probably targeting our e-sport.
| I can see this only profitable in Japan where new gacha mobile game is released every month.
| I actually am kinda interested, I play only mobile games already as console is too expensive for me and pc gaming is pain in the ass
| It's also kinda cool how many ports it has, no regular phone has an option to just connect mouse or keyboard straight up to it
| Waste of time and money, with the same money you might as well just buy a 3DS/Switch/Vita.

care to share the titles of these mobile games? I work in this branch and all I find is IAP-powered repetitive crap.

Just wanting to get a gauge of what you guys think of stuff like this. To be honest, I'm conflicted, because on one hand I like the specs of this phone but on the other hand besides PUBG and Fortnite mobile as well as Hearthstone, I don't really know many mobile games that actually warrant needing something like this. I think a more competitive mobile gaming market is necessary tbh.
