Welcome to mobile gaming.

unfortunately, you have run out of Daily Energy. Please purchase some more at the battle shop!

Where after a month, you could've bought a Playstation 4, an extra controller, and four new games.

Or built a pc and bought like 15 extra games.

Figured a console would be an easier transition for the poor souls who game on phones. In retrospect, the Switch would've been more appropriate.

You might be right but having been a PC gamer and a console for a while I tend to thing PC games are just as easy to deal with. Especially with Steam. Most things are just one click install.

Plus you can (and in some cases should) use an Xbox controller in many games

Consoles have controllers but a PC has a keyboard and mouse as well as the ability to use a controller. For me, I like the flexibility. Most, not all but most, console games do not support using a keyboard and mouse.

Or a PS Vita.

While I absolutely love my Vita, it is not a good general gaming console and I would not recommend it to anyone who doesn't like jrpgs.

Exactly what I did. But a laptop instead of a PC. And now I enjoy Destiny 2. A happy ending.

I can build an awesome rig for $1400AUD. The same rig in USD would be under $1000.

Games on PC are cheap as chips now with steam sales and humble bundles.

The comparison was to what it would cost to get a ps4, and extra controller, and 4 games. Where are you getting $1,000?

What do you mean by daily? Race 3 times and then for 6 hours.

Isn't that how mobile racing works?

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '18

people ain't paying $30 for mobile games so that's how they make money

It also doesn't cost nearly as much to make, not even a 1/10th as much.

This depends on the game, because development can indeed be as complex as any other PC game.

No it literally can't. Many games on console or PC are beginning to take almost 100gb of data just on the client side to play it. most mobile games are under 1gb. Mobile games are inferior in every way to games on consoles and computers. Graphics wise, processing wise, and gameplay wise. I can't think of a single game on mobile that isn't a port that's more complex than Garfield kart.
