This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's really bizarre how phone gaming's golden age was before the smartphone era, having buttons helped a lot. Later java ME games and symbian everything were very cool, I still listen to the songs of Asphalt 4 to this day.

Don't get me wrong there are cool games too after mihoyo started getting ambitious, but they also ported their games to PC and consoles where it's better to play.

true, i avoid games on my phone because the touchscreen is just the worst possible interface for most games.

Dicey Dungeons is an example of a game that I think is actually BETTER on mobile (cheaper too). Awesome game, and the touch controls really streamline it.

Back when PUBG first came out, I did not have a powerful PC yet. However, I could enjoy the mobile version of the game and, by the time I built my first PC, I had gained extensive knowledge that equated to a good head start. At its height, PUBG mobile was awesome. Moreover, when with friends, we could all just decide to play it together on our phones, to matter where we were.

I like Genshin Impact tho 😭

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I find Honkai: Star Rail even more suited to mobile (It's mostly not reaction time based) but still play Genshin also. Not as much as I did, but still too much.

I think netflix has some half decent games these days, like Storyteller, Gamedev Tycoon and Terra Nil

I replayed Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 on mobile. It's a surprisingly good port.

[–] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Same with Knights of the Old Republic. But that's just it: every decent mobile game is a port.

The best mobile games are ports like Terraria and Slay the Spire, or old fashioned emulated games, but you need a controller to make it feel okay.
