Do you prefer console gaming? Or Mobile Gaming?

[MrUnknownXD]

Mobile games then: Clash of Clans

Mobile games now: *Twerk Race 3D*

In the era of Gameloft we used to have standalone single player campaigns with great great graphics. Be it novas or popular racing games to ubisoft titles like assassins creed to avater they were simply mind-blowing. 2012-14 was golden. Now Gameloft doesn't make any of those single player games with 0 online crap. And not sure if the contract that expired or something, the whole old library of games just disappeared into nothing

Legends Remember Nova 3 game 😢😢 back when it release for 512mb ram phones with epic graphics.. but now we have 12gb, 8gb ram phones with shit quality games

The only problem for me on games right now is that it is not the same as before, i feel like some developers just gets greedy and they don't focus on the gameplay of the players, especially right now the games are full and full of ads to the point that you can't even play anymore.

Weird games keeps on getting released, some has potential but its sometimes literally just unplayable.

I miss old mobile gaming so much, just the whole vibe it gave off.

Cellphone java games were total top tier for me. It was the time of handheld gameboys, so mobile games devs tried to keep up with the level of entertainment. These werent much about graphics but purely about playability. And the use of HW buttons helped a lot. Java mobiles like Sony Ericsson k700i were so popular at my region that every kid had to had some. Titles like prince of persia, splinter cell, gravity defied, magnetic joe, playman series, worms, medal of honor, burnout, asphalt were extremely well put together.

Lucky we have Feral Interactive and I hope most developers realize these kind of people who can bring AAA games to mobile with great service can make Mobile Gaming great again

I think one of the biggest problems with modern mobile games, is that many of them don't feel like they're made for a phone—or at least doesn't look like it. One of my favorite mobile games are a collection of puzzle games by Barte Bonte named colors: like Red, or Blue. And man, these games are MADE for mobile, and you really grow to appreciate that

On top of mobile games, I also want to see more old console games being ported to the mobile platform. I can't stress how much of a good work Feral Interactive is doing on porting games such as Alien Isolation and Grid Autosport to mobile.

I recently got my 6-year-old cousin addicted to Plants vs Zombies on her mom's iPhone, and we can all agree that it's a better experience than any mobile game released in the past few years

You may notice the cycle a game goes through is relevant. Marvel Snap for example came out this year, was highlighted at the game awards just last week, and yet is already at the stage of spending their good will by silently removing features that benefit players and pulling content to sell it back to you. Console games do this a little, but it usually isn't in the very first year like Marvel Snap and other mobile games

3:37 that casual throw was so good, ngl.

Showing N.O.V.A 3 at the start and during the video was great decision. I remember playing this in 2016. My mind was blown clean off marvelling at this masterpiece. It's(present tense) still so good that i remember finishing its story 6+times, and recommend it to friends still to this day. This game is my benchmark to judge all shooting games, and sadly 95+% off games fail(im looking at you freefire).

Old school mobile gaming really was something else. Glad there are still some developers like Hoyoverse pushing the boundaries on what mobile games can be.

[chucklesdeclown]

Not to mention that the best games on Android tend to be not that graphically inclined, my favorite recently has been mages survival which is surprisingly fun for just moving around and selecting the moves you want.

[Youtube-Censorship-Police]

the real problem with mobile games is not the graphics but the fact that 99% of mobile "games" are pay to win scams rather than real games.

[OhHeyItIsNano]

The first games I've ever played on mobile were Clash of clans, Minecraft, random zombie shooter games and Minecraft knockoff games. I did play some other classics later on such as Subway Surfers, Jetpack joyride, temple run, fruit ninja, etc. Those were the good times. That and playing videogames with a friend.

Man I actually love the way you think Watched 3 of your videos in a row and man it's really well done, well researched information.

The mobile gamers of 10 years ago are now grown adults who work and can afford gaming consoles and PCs.
