$5 for a mobile game of any sort is reasonable. But if I want to spend $30 plus, then that's what a PS5 is for. Keep mobile phone games mobile, please.

    They don't bring these AAA games to android because 70% of android users will pirate it and play it for free.

      Fabiana, 30 Jun 2024Sure I had to dial graphics quality of RE4 to low on the iP... moreThat's because the bad framerate makes everything sluggish ;)

        Those games control poorly without a controller, the resolution is a bad joke, so is the often unstable framerate that is stuck at 30. Lastly the games do cost quite a bit. I don't think anybody is surprised by Apple failing with this, despite all of their claims these chips aren't even close to what a proper PC or console can offer.

                    Never thought smartphones and even tablets were an ideal platform for such games anyhow. Heck I think mobile gaming goes beyond all reason and common sense the moment you go past the likes of Angry Birds, Temple Run, Fruit Ninja etc 🤷

I played each one of them too until i reached 100% compete in every category. For a blackflag had like 350 hours game time for Oddysey had 468 hours game time when i completed every main and not main missin all datadisks add ons and other possible features. Now playing Walhalla with already 380 hours of game time and i am still very far to the end. With main story line its just few missions but with many new add ons i have a lot to do.
                      Played the Mirage and enjoyed it a while then returned back to Walhalla dont like to skip versions. So will wait for me a little later.

                      Still Mirage is way better than then russian version of assassins creed forgot the name.

                        Techgg, 30 Jun 2024Great comment👌👌👌Cheers bro i appreciate your support.

                          Cpt.Power, 30 Jun 2024Bro if you dont like it its certainly not for you. For ex... moreAC Mirage is just an absolutely mediocre mess, and on the performance/visuals side of things it's even more concerning. I don't hate AC games, in fact I adore them. I've played all the AC games from AC 1 till Origins and the later ones have just lost the charm for me so I'm not gonna play them, AC Brotherhood is the one that should've been ported. Or AC2. And if they wanted to reach a large number of people, AC Black Flag!! Who doesn't love pirates? There's so many things they could do but AC Mirage just ain't it.

                              At those prices I'm not surprised.

                              It's one thing paying that for a console game or a Nintendo switch game but for a mobile game it's crazy.

                              Yes the hard core games will buy it because they also have game controllers most likely but the casual gamer will never spend that.

                              It's a struggle to get people to pay anything for apps let alone €49....

                                I'd never want to play a AAA game on a mobile device, especially if I need a controller which I'd almost certainly would.

                                You can get better performance and an overall superior experience just playing on an actual PC (laptop or even better, desktop).

                                  Kind of a surprise but it shouldn't have been a surprise

                                  Iphone users are the most dumb users, who think they have the latest and greatest tech, that's actually years behind the competetion.

                                  These users only have the most powerfull phones to do messaging and scrolling social media apps

                                  On Android are power users, there are sizeable niches that do use things like desktop modes as a portable computer and I think if these were on Android, would've sold alot more than iOS.

                                    they only need money that's why they bring these things to their devices and they are really expensive plus you have to buy it for everyone separately but if you buy it for Xbox and pc or PS5 everyone can use it and spend less money and about the devices they produce they really are shameless people they worth noting but still they are selling them and prices are getting higher each year but there's no improvement not software wise nor Hardware

                                        Sure I had to dial graphics quality of RE4 to low on the iPhone so it wouldn't heat too much or drop battery level too quickly but it was no big deal in comparison with the awful experience I had with aiming and physics. Guess playing with real guns led me a tad too critical on a f* 9mm that aims like the player is drunk and hits about as bad as .22LR. Also tried it on my work M1 Mac Mini, about the same experience except for screen size.
