I like the new Idolm@ster game.

only good games are FF record keeper and brave exvius.

>>383821212
It’s gay as fuck flash game tier shit

Gambling simulators arent videogames.

I wouldn't mind if they costed actual money and didn't resort to pay2win shit every single time.

No mobage garbage is worth your time because of this.

>>383821415
I personally only play BE since one gatchashit game is enough for me. I find it pretty enjoyable as a "F2P" player, I've played it for about half a year now and only bought the 1€ and 13€ bundles as they offered some decent value compared to the regular payment options. It's still paying for a mobile game but after playing it everyday for months, I thought hey, why the fuck not.

Trash to get money from idiots
Yes if you play the japanese only ones for the "waifus" you are still a fucking idiot dont feel superior to the person playing angrybirds because you are not.

>>383821212
Is Gamers! airing now?

Mobile legends is the only game worth playing senpai

Its so bad that I actually spend my commute checking mails and news instead, and I'm all about videogames 24/7 pretty much.

They all fucking restict my time playing them.

>>383821548
i only play ffrk now and i never bought anything game is f2p friendly as fuck if you know how to spend mithril

>>383821631
Hell angry birds is a legit game, those anime ones are just gacha shit to get the anime girl you want.
People pouring money to get a digital image of an anime girl they could get online for free and in a bigger resolution.
Its kind of amazing how the anime/moe industry keeps finding more and more ways to exploit the sex starved otaku

>>383821212
>What's /v/'s opinion about mobile gaming?

It's not a thing. I just got a brand new moto G5, tried playing Fate/go and the thing got blazing hot and the battery drained in a few hours.

This showcases why, even beyond the control issues, mobile phone gaming will never be more than very light, incidental shit. Phones have no heat dissipation, which means gaming will damage the internals and shorten it's lifespan, and drains the battery which prevents the phone from doing it's primary job.

That, and all the games are shit.

>>383821212
Glorified slot machines. It's surreal seeing people bitch about games costing 100 Canadian/Austrian dollars but then coming across a dude who blew their monthly salary to roll a waifu.

don't really care about mobile games. when i'm outside i don't have time to play those. plus 99% are crap anyway

>>383821212
It isn't fun and touch screens are shit for controls. I only like the CCGs that are put out.

I mean there's retardation and there are literal fucking turbo retards. I can understand that you'll maybe not care about the money if you have more than enough of it but then you wouldn't be complaining on a fucking message board.

99% aren't real games

I mean, yeah, you can waste money if you're retarded or exuberantly wealthy. You can also just not do that instead.
Few games restrict the actual gameplay behind the paywall and those are shitty games.

>>383821415
Both are trash

>>383821212
There are some games that make great use of the phone, or use it in interesting ways. That's great, but when you have piles and piles of shitty gotcha and shovelware "games" that PEOPLE ACTUALLY PAY FOR then the good stuff becomes really hard to find and recommend. It could be a great platform, but there is no incentive for Apple, Google, and Amazon to curate the marketplace.

Dokkan Battle isnt so bad.

You only spend real currency on said stones, which are only used to potentially get new good cards and no other P2W mechanic.
Surprisingly alright as an actual game.

Mobile gaming I feel is just starting to get into that phase where developers are figuring out how best to use the touch screen, and likewise, the technology in touch screens is becoming responsive enough that you can have more fast paced games that don't control like ass.

Currently, I'm playing Transformers Forged to Fight which is literally just Marvel Contest of Champions with a few extra moves (side dodging and long range attacks), it's even made by the same developers. For a mobile game, the fighting gameplay is top notch and never feels like I input something by mistake. It's just a shame the core gameplay is weighed down in a metric fuckton of grind and timers. Really digging it otherwise, but they need to tone that grind shit down.

Trust me, even the high-end devices start to stutter little by little as the phone heats up to fuck when you play the most graphically intense stuff. It's an unavoidable problem because as the average phone benchmark increases, developers just yank the graphics up even more.

>Don't act like you don't got a garbage phone.

All phones are inherently garbage for gaming. There's a reason why phones rarely last more than 5 years before running into issues. And the more modern, slimmer modern ones are even worst since they generate more heat and have less space to get rid of it.

Laws of physics. The cooler you keep your components, the longer their lifespan will be relative to the amount of time they spend under load.

It wasn't like that a few years ago, I remember some actual fun little games here and there with extra currency costing real money.

>>383821212
there are good mobile games but they're a rarity. f2p shit and mobage are cancer and should be banned. app store would be significantly higher quality if adware wasn't allowed.

>>383821212
I feel like these type of games are huge skinnerbox scams. Just go download a emulator on your phone and play RPGs that don't have microtransactions or daily/weekly lockout shit like a MMO.

Most of the games are terrible but at least they are about to kill Handheld Gaming for good so not everything is bad

original snake on nokia was the only good phone game

>>383821212
It's the evolution of sites like newgrounds/kongregate. Phones are filled with absolute shit flash games that are ok for killing a couple minutes to an hour of your time but 99.9999% of them are just idle games/clickers or games designed solely to get you to watch an ad or buy shit from a shop at some point. It's disappointing but I think it's a necessary evil. Normies drop fat stacks of money on absolute hot garbage. I just wish companies would use those fat stacks to make real fucking games, and not just recycle it into mobile trash until they eventually go bankrupt.

>>383821212
That 2nd girl on the list looks 10/0.

I hated it, until I really looked into it. Now I have one of those clamshell controllers that wraps around your phone, and an S8+, and it's become the comfiest way to play most of my games.

Because the Wi-Fi is so good in my house, I can sit and stream my whole library over moonlight and play it on a crisp-ass screen right in my hands, with proper controls.

Most mobile games are hot garbage on toast.

The Android version of Sonic 1 is a masterpiece. Monument Valley is also pretty good, and the japanese music games (Cytus, that one that's mostly pianos about a sad monster thing and a little girl) are great.

Asphalt 8 was my favourite racing game for a while, but that's got a PC version now so it doesn't matter too much.

The ports of stuff like KOTOR, Shovel Knight and whatever are nice, and if you've got a GPD XD, you can put together a unique little library for an impressive handheld.

>>383823927
Being cheap doesn't suddenly make it not a memephone.

If it's cheap but has "great specs for the price" so it's somewhat popular, it's a meme.

Now that's even more of a meme. Are they going to put fucking fans in phones now? I doubt it, that means it's still going to be passive cooling, which will still be shit, water or no water.

And paying 800$ for a high end phone is possibly the stupidest thing you can do.

Other than that, you're fine. Seriously I've had like 7 contracts and not once had a problem, and each one was cheaper than getting the phone and a sim card separately.

Game Dev Story

Swordigo (This is a really oddball pick, but i really liked their take on the RPG-platformer)

Why do people feel so entitled to rare cards?

Seems like the frustration around gacha is just "I don't get everything I want!"
You aren't supposed to.

I tried that, it's so fucking broken, fucking Saint's Cross doing 50k, what the fuck.

FFBE is hot garbage. It's a watered down Granblue wearing FF's skin and making bank off of waifus and popularity poll toppers.

>>383821212
How do people find enjoyment from these type of games? Is it the waifus? If it is then why not just jack off to the art online for free?

>>383827427
Because these shitty games are designed that ANYTHING other than babby story mode is impossible with anything else than best cards in the game.

Look at Dragon Ball Dokkan, any event without Vegito SSB or other amazing leader is 100% failure rate.

>>383821212

I haven't been able to play one for longer than a month before getting bored and quitting.

>>383827676
Pulling character is the same exact feeling as getting heroin shot.

>>383827701
So what about games where cards are just for waifus rather than abilities?
What about games with strong story content and good gameplay?

>>383827373
Also:
Space Miner: Space or Bust
Galaxy on Fire 2
Infinity Blade trilogy (more for the world and lore and less so for its somewhat grindy and repetitive gameplay)
Hook Worlds, or pretty much most of Rocketcat's library

I'd highly recommend the games I've listed in this post and the previous post as actually full-fledged and interesting games that you can't really find elsewhere.

>>383827891

>>383827597
>fucking Saint's Cross doing 50k, what the fuck.
it was delayed in english version for a reason, it's a really silly mistake because Cloud was just so underpowered compared to most main characters so they wanted to buff him, in the end no one actually uses Cloud anyway and just borrow his USB
>that party
You must be doing something wrong then because that's almost 10/10 squad, chains are too limited to be that good and Ultras aren't common(yet), I really don't know what to tell you anon, that's a damn good party

Help. I know it's coming but I can't stop it.

Is there a smartphone game on Android that has GOOD gameplay and not pay to win or a microtransaction clusterfuck? I could settle for shitty story, ugly characters, and ear grinding music as long as the gameplay is 100% F U N

If you're someone that thinks mobile games are garbage and would never ever pay money to pull something, and if you can actually keep yourself from spending money, just play a game that has a story like Granblue, FFBE, or FGO.

I know it's a good party, but they just buffed all the Ultimate++'s.
even with full mitigation, they hit for 2000s, have extremely annoying gimmicks (confuse, sleep, blind everyone,resist all but one element)
this used to be a be-all-end-all party, but with these gimmicks I'm forced to put in people I don't normally use just to have a chance.

remember that Sephiroth (Advent) from a few weeks ago? with this party? not a fucking chance.

All of those stories are terrible though, except Granblue.
FFBE and FGO have stories that are incredibly subpar for their respective series.

some are decent, I like Pinball Arcade on android, for example. But most of games are shit and doesn't help as using touch as control is ultimate full retard tier, I wish more cellphones had a built in joystick like those old xperia play

Oh yeah I remember, yeah that thing was supposed to show up along with Cloud USB but we got that delayed, it was just as unbeatable in JP

Typically, I wouldn't really care about this sort of stuff
But I have friends in real life who are obsessed with these gatcha games, grinding for hours so that they can roll a new card or whatever
And after seeing how manipulative these games are, I browsed through the asian version of mobile storefront to see that this was INCREDIBLY popular overseas.

These games aren't fun, and they're not good, they just bait you with weaponized skinner boxes and gambler's fallacy.
Basically every Korean/Chinese/Japanese person I know is invested in one of these gatcha games, and the only reason we're spared is because they're untranslated.

But man, then you see weebs intentionally doing this to themselves by getting Japanese games so that 'they can get their waifu' on their phone. I don't get it. It hurts to watch.

>>383828575

FFBE is an interesting case. It starts off like a soulless generic story about a guy searching for his dad, then morphs into something else down the line. I actually unironically like the main story in that game, but it only ever really gets interrsting after the 2nd major continent

>>383828362
And Granblue is just a ripoff Final Fantasy.

>>383828578
I beat it but it was a real gimmicky boss. you needed to have a specific Ultra as RW (Aeris or Relm) to cast instantly when Sephiroth triggers at 80% and 60% hp.

it felt good to beat but at the same time, my party looked nothing like the party I usually use.

that's how it feels to fight all Ultimate++'s nowadays. I mean I understand, if they didn't do that, I'd never pull for new relics, but the new difficulty spike is really big and I usually never beat Ultimate++'s anymore, not that they give anything meaningful other than accessories I never use.

It's fine if you develop games like the ones developed by Kairosoft and OYK Games. I also liked Talisman and Chainsaw Warrior on Android which are perfect on-the-go style games. PS Vita had Unit 16 which is a time based game so you're rewarded with beat missions on the lowest time making it the perfect on-the-go game.

I started playing FGO and I'm having a decent time, but no mobage has ever grabbed my attention for longer than three or four weeks. I'm already getting sick of having to log in every day to use up my AP on tedious filler missions in story mode so I can get to the interesting stuff.

And I refuse to pay money for any mobage, on principle. I'm not contributing one penny to that abortion of an industry. It'll ruin gaming for good, but at least I won't have had any part in it.

The thing is that, according to stats, free to play games have a much higher download rate than premium games.
That's why a lot of devs resort to freemium. Also due to the device's limitations, a lot of the games are just arcade gone mobile which are incredibly easy to make. A lot of them are singular or duo mechanic games which in comparison to a game that costs 15 dollars, it should most definitely be free.
Bringing up Arcade again, it is the modernized version of arcade games. It is confusing that people complain about freemium monetization when a lot of mobile games are arcade to their core and they were very pay to win based.
The ones that are shit are just gambling simulators that provide no real challenge or interest, instead just giving a hook that capture players and turn them into whales.

There are a few flash games that are unironically some of the best vidya I've played though, anon. Mobages are lower than they are.

>>383832178
Just do the daily class events for massive boosts in exp cards and master level ups. The first few times you do it, you will be overflowing with so much excess AP to do both Orleans and Septem in 1 go its ridiculous.

As for the plot, Im a sucker for time travel stories, and I guess it helps that the game is a bit light compared to other Nasu stories technobabble aside. I expected something edgy like Kara no Kyoukai or serious with a bit of humor like Fate but I got Back to the Future instead.

>>383821439
this is an insult to flash games
mobile games not only steal from flash games, but someone make them worse

>>383833749

But you hit a cap, right? I've been jamming the dailies but they're making me level up so often I can't burn through the AP quick enough.

Also Septem is awful so far. Apparently the game's writing starts to unfuck itself around part 5, but that's still a long way away.

>>383834000
Not really, I still level up like crazy. Currently master level 27. I agree though Septem has been pretty meh compared to Orleans. Amadeus and Marie Antoinette made that arc fun atleast

>>383834191

No, I mean, you hit an AP cap. I think it's twice as high as your max AP, or something. I'm level 36 or so.

>>383834441
Ah yes, but I always manage to deplete to atleast 75% of my max AP before I level up again. I think this will go down around level 40 but I like how it just keeps on going. That said I do put the game down after playing for 20 minutes. Mobages really arent that meant to be played for long sessions unless its a raid boss or something

My main issue with every single mobile game is they all require your constant fucking dedication. You can't bounce between games if you're bored of the other, and if you lapse for even a week you probably lost out on some exclusive timed bollocks.

The production values are getting better at least. Also, the "pay-to-make-any-discernible-progress" model seems to be dying off a little.

Been playing Fate Grand Order. Main reason is that I like Fate a lot and I heard the story actually gets pretty interesting later on. Hopefully the translation quality improves.

I already got my favorite servant, Medea so I'm not too worried about falling into gacha hell until Assassin EMIYA comes out. I'm just saving up my quartz till then.


That said, the drop rates are garbage and the price of quartz are asinine. If they were cheaper, I could see myself dropping a few bucks here and there on the game, but not for these prices.

I don't like them
Not much effort or depth is needed to make them yet they are and can be incredibly popular
Playing the games are as easy as tapping the screen or swiping the screen, so boring
On controllers and keyboards, you can have multiple button combinations to do a variety of things, on mobile you're only limited to those two actions
Most of the games, probably like the game in that fictional cartoon in your pic, has pay 2 win shit in it and other stupid stuff to get people addicted to the games and spend money on them
I don't like how these games are rising in popularity because it means developers can be lazy and jew out their players more and more instead of just making fun games with interesting mechanics, story, graphics, music, etc
Mobile games can exist, but pay 2 win and gambling like prizes need to end, its pretty disgusting
It should be a fun little game you can just play for a few minutes and go back to doing whatever it is you're doing
thought I fully admit Terra Battle was a pretty fun and I thought it was an interesting take on the strategy genre, more games like this would be preferred but I still don't want them to overtake console and pc games

Alot of western mobage fans are the "its okay when japan does it" type who probably scoffed farmville and angry birds

Its also a matter of production value when it comes to these things. Theyre mostly ganes with existing fanbases that have sunk a significant portion of the budget on in presentation with passable and borderline decent gameplay.

I am playing with Saint. She uses PIE and has an instant full health skill. I was focusing on lightning spells and reflect for defense but I am not dealing much damage.

>Full to the brim with shovelware
>Any decent games have intrusive paid elements (pay to keep playing, pay to access more features/the fun stuff)
At best, time wasters when I'm away from my house, which ends up meaning nothing to me since I hardly play them for the same reason I don't bring handhelds with me. If I'm going somewhere it is because I have something to do and that doesn't usually involve video games.

Shit that is ruining the industry and has warped Japan beyond redemption.

Subterfuge

Hands down the best game on mobile. It's an RTS, with games that span a week. Everything happens slowly (moves take several hours) so you don't have to be glued to your phone and you'll probably spend an hour per day cumulatively.
