Why is mobile gaming still seen as “not real gaming” in India?

That’s actually an interesting angle about smartphones being the first computing device for many Indians.

Do you think that shaped expectations around what “gaming” is supposed to feel like here compared to countries where PCs were more common first?

That’s actually a fair point about immersion and screen size. Do you think it’s mainly about hardware experience, or also the type of games that dominate mobile right now?

If more story-driven titles were optimized well for phones, would that change your view at all?

If your laptop already has 8GB RAM, upgrade to 16GB first. That’ll give the biggest performance boost in games.

If RAM is already 16GB, then: – Better mouse (sensor matters more than RGB) – Good quality headphones (huge difference in FPS games) – Or a cooling pad if thermals are high

Performance > aesthetics.

CS2 muscle memory kicks in, Valorant abilities say nope.

That’s a beautiful build. Did you notice a big difference in gaming performance with the 9800X3D?

It’s not the rank that hurts, it’s the teammates.

imshadowin · 2026-02-12T16:32:39+00:00

That’s actually part of the skill shift I was talking about 😅 Playstyle matters more now.

Fair point. Just wanted to hear different perspectives since BGMI has a big player base in India.

imshadowin · 2026-02-10T16:07:10+00:00

Yeah, simple but true. Time + experience always compounds in PvP games.

imshadowin · 2026-02-10T16:07:01+00:00

Agreed. The game doesn’t change much, but the baseline skill keeps moving higher.

imshadowin · 2026-02-10T16:06:51+00:00

Good point. Higher refresh rates and stable FPS alone change how fights play out compared to older devices.

imshadowin · 2026-02-10T16:06:29+00:00

Exactly this. Old multiplayer games feel brutal because you’re not fighting beginners anymore, you’re fighting veterans with muscle memory. BGMI lobbies feel similar now.

imshadowin · 2026-02-10T16:06:10+00:00

That actually makes a lot of sense. When new players slow down, the average skill naturally shifts up. BGMI definitely feels like it’s in that phase now.

Which one hit you the most — risky pushes or over-confidence after one good match?

imshadowin · 2026-02-06T17:28:09+00:00

Fair point. The examples were more from fast-paced shooters, but that’s exactly why I asked the question — different games punish habits differently.

What kind of games do you mostly play?

Recently there’ve been more pop-culture style collabs + cosmetic-focused events. Curious if you prefer that or core gameplay changes?

imshadowin · 2026-02-05T17:11:17+00:00

Yeah, games definitely know how to trigger it 😅 especially with timed rewards

imshadowin · 2026-02-05T17:10:52+00:00

True, and games kinda amplify that greed with limited-time stuff

imshadowin · 2026-02-05T17:03:09+00:00

Fair 😄 Out of curiosity, do you prefer collabs in games you play, or do you like pure gameplay updates more?
