Hi!
Im doing research on mobile gaming and would REALLY appreciate if the kind gamers here would express their opinions about whats wrong with mobile gaming scene today, what makes the quality of mobile games go down, why?
QUALITY v.s QUANTITY?
Shoot!
My fingers sometimes get too fat and I dont know what the heck I end up pressing.
Also, because my fingers are too fat, sometimes sprites (graphical objects) in the game that follows where my fingers go are blocked by my finger such that i cant see them anymore. The birds on the slingshot in Angry Birds is an example.

They force far too much on micro transactions and pay2win systems to make them fair to anyone except the person who spends the most on it. The person at the top of the ranking system is always the person who has spent the most on the game. No amount of skill in a game will get you anywhere near someone who spends even a little bit on the game.
Essentially they are forcing anyone who wants to play the game into paying for it, but with normally no limit on the amount you can spend you will always need to spend more.
This is exactly the same reason why I prefer subscription games to free to play with micro transaction models. Every company who does free to play tries to incentivise paying to the point of making it ridiculously overpowered.
It doesn't matter how good a game is, people play to compete, and the competition isn't a fair playing field. It would be like playing a football game with a team of amateurs against professionals. (though to be fair that's pretty much exactly what the premier league has become in England! the team who spends the most wins the most).
I don't blame these companies for doing it, I just don't think it's fair on skilled gamers. I personally boycott many games purely for this reason. These companies could easily make back the development costs by simply charging a small price for a full version, but no they go for micro transactions and end up making millions from gamers, and normally taking advantage of the younger ones. The quality goes down because it increases companies already obscene profit margins. Plus it's too easy to make a game, profit from it, and put non of that profit back into the development of it.
Controls,
The control system for touch screens far to slow in reaction and sadly does not work well. Most touch controls are unable to understand properly what is being pressed and how movement is being made. Also far to many games add to many buttons and a poor ui.
Another thing is making controls hollow. I would rather lose part of the screen than miss part of what im looking for cause my finger is covering the damn part of the map it is located it [happends alot in action rpg]
It drains the battery down by loads. The controls on some of them are just awful. Some are pretty costy, paying to remove ads, paying to get a simple pack.
RECENTLY most Mobile games requires internet connection,, even for non-MMO G..
also.. the controls on some games are in-accurate
I dislike the controll + people who say that mobile gaming is everything..
Its handy in a airplane or something but, mostly its just overhypt console/pc stolen shit
People nowadays are saying tablets and other mobile devices are the way to go and PCs will be replaced by them in general, not just for games. When i told my friends to get a Windows 8 cause it is has a touch screen and is a PC, they just said that getting a tablet is better as its cheaper and some have quad cores. Lolololol.Quote:
