Bingo

Fighters are almost immediately out of being viable for phone gaming
I actually downloaded Street Fighter 2 on an old physical button phone, and had a lot of fun with Fei Long, but it just wasn't the same

Watch someone try to make a peripheral for fighters on a touchscreen

Queue woolie's streetfighter 5 fighting stick that you can plug directly into your smartphone.

Question, is monhun elemental damage like dark souls where its the bbase damage plus the elemental damage?

 

[JooseBawcks]

Senpai pls. I know you're playing on console, but lock on is for scrubs.

Matt was calling him amazing too lol. And he was shit talking people saying it's too hard? I don't understand him sometimes

They exist, and they're expensive relative to the market they serve

The Famicon one looks really cool tho.

Yes

A lot of that has to do with the people making mobile games not giving a shit about optimal control schemes.

We will get to a point where touch based everything is reality.

Which is why they are inferior game developers. Controls are possibly the single most important thing in a game. And until there is a viable mobile alternative to a controller, it is largely impossible for a mario 3d world or a bayonetta 2 to exist on a mobile

And we'll talk about it then.
But to me that sounds like some super future mumbo jumbo that middle-aged investors dazzled by new technology thought would've happened by now back in 2003.

Has it ever occured to you that a mouse and keyboard is actually way more efficient for doing most things on a pc than a touchscreen is? Because that's a generally accepted concept.
People use touchsreens because they're cool and a novelty and make sense for some things that I can't name because whatever.
People don't use touchscreens because they're well optimized for more complex tasks, ranging from programming to gaming.
If you ever see a programmer doing his work on a goddamn virtual keyboard, slap that shit out of his hands, because he is either a shitty programmer or not trying at his job.
Similarly, if I ever(in this weird, scary future of yours) see someone playing smash on a touchscreen, I will get out my gamecube controller and beat their ass, because touchscreens just don't allow as many simultaneous actions as a controller with handles and triggers.

But hey, on a decidedly unsarcastic note, if you want to play games on your mobile devices, go right ahead. I'm not going to stop you, and I can even sympathize with not wanting to buy a new console every generation. But it is an impossiility for smartphone games to ever reach the complexity or quality attainable by the best of modern console or pc games.

Yes, and each monster has way different resistances. Depending on your weapon it can be really really important to use the right kind of damage.

Senpai pls. I know you're playing on console, but lock on is for scrubs.

That avatar though, but also yeah.

For those who have the PS3 Version of Xenoverse, do you have connection issues on being booted out.

In the podcast or the video?

I'm on PS4, but I don't think I've been able to get online even once

Podcast. He said something like "Those people that complained about it being too hard are the people that enjoy their C Ranks"

I grew up primarily a Mac gamer. I know about keyboard and mouse.

I don't see this touchscreen future as weird or particularly scary.

I just want to know if it's a really viable future.

And never say never. They will be a developer so passionate about mobile games that they become to mobile what Valve became to PC.

It was way too hard and I got one C and it was on the 3rd war mission

Moved PS3 into my room see if it makes a difference.

Final episode of Revelaitons is released....YESSSSSSSSSSSS

Same. You can tell Sony is shoe-horning the gyrometer into as many games as possible, even when it has no real use.

DOA5LR has the best use of it.

Boobs?

Deep down I had a feeling they existed...

So while I'm atuck in this airporrt for another 4 hours, anyone want to do some MonHun?

Eh, he's kind of right. People who complain about the game forcing you to play defensively are usually the people getting Cs and Bs. Still, playing non defensively is pretty hard. Even people who were really good at the first game had trouble with it.

And never say never. They will be a developer so passionate about mobile games that they become to mobile what Valve became to PC.

You know what?
Okay.
I can't see the future, and some developer may pop up like that.
If they make a commonplace, quality controller for mobile that's basically plug and play, and games are made for this controller, then I will acknowledge that there might be a future there.
However, I don't believe that there will ever be a time in which touch based everything replaces traditional console or especially pc gaming.
There may be a time when touch integration is standard, but never where touch is the only form of control.
I'm scared of this future you speak of because while there is something of a push in the mobile direction, there has been no corresponding jump in quality that would make it a valid counterpart to console, pc, and handheld gaming. In other words, what I'm scared of is this idea that convenience will trump quality, and the games that I love and have decided to dedicate my life to(in terms of both playing and creating) will fall as a medium.
I don't believe it will ever happen, if it is in fact a viable future, it is certainly not one that is good for gaming as a field and as a hobby alike.

 

[SteveTR]

People seem to misunderstand what the whole thing actually means.

 

[semisonic]

lol

 

[360pages]

The game works better in my room. Might just be because my living room is shit for Wi-Fi. or the PS# is just bad at it

 

[JooseBawcks]

Still, it's kind of presumptuous to say "You think it's too hard because you suck". Like bull said

It was way too hard and I got one C and it was on the 3rd war mission

You can think it's hard and still do well in it

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

Still, it's kind of presumptuous to say "You think it's too hard because you suck". Like bull said

I haven't listened to the podcast, but I assume he was just saying that tongue-in-cheek. You know, the whole "git gud" thing.

 

[TechnicaUS]

So did you guys know that going directly from danketsu to cyborg slayers is super jarring and weird?

Had a nice Irish Coffee with dinner because it's Paddy's day. Not usually my thing but whatever

That sounds about right.
You should probably use a really good go between, like Now and Then, Here and There

 

[DoktorEvil]

People are freaking out for no discernible reason.
I see it as Nintendo keeping their pig stuffed with money.

You sound just like the Arcade gamers who were terrified of arcades disappearing.

They will not completely disappear. They will become niche.

Dedicated consoles and handhelds are slowly becoming niche already. I'm not worried about mobile being the be all of video games. They won't be.

 

[semisonic]

I dunno if it's anything like what's actually over there, but my favorite type of tea is Irish Breakfast

Wait do you actually no know what that is?
It's whiskey in with your coffee

 

[ArclightBorealis]

Just got done rehearsing for another milestone presentation for my game project. Now all I gotta do is wait for class later to present it.

...I just wanna go home and play more Armored Core 3, dammit. I'm celebrating Mechaweek in my own way.

I would do that, but my phone's on shuffle.

D'awww

Nevermind then, here I thought you were being too innocent

No way. No way in hell is it gonna be anything like that. It's gonna be tasteful, or it's not gonna be there.

Because console gaming was BETTER and didn't force feed money out of your pocket every time you died. That's why Atari was so successful.

Look, Movies and TV were also said to fully kill radio, but it's hasn't. Radio is smaller than it was decades ago, but it's there.

 

[JooseBawcks]

I haven't listened to the podcast, but I assume he was just saying that tongue-in-cheek. You know, the whole "git gud" thing.

It really didn't sound that way

H-hey, I definitely didn't google it after he said that...

 

[Glitchesarecool]

So I'm about to go fight the S. Magala. How hard should I clench my butthole?

I kinda feel this invalidated your earlier comparison.

To me, the choice between mobile gaming and traditional gaming is a war between convenience and price(together) and quality.
And it's one I really hope quality wins.
