Mobile gaming sucks at preservation unlike Steam/pc games and console disc games.

Huh bunch of jeopardy players hopeful they won.

    Clowns, get a life, would ya!

      Kudos to game devs and Apple for trying, but after playing few of these games on a 15 Pro a friend has, the conclusion was that if I really want to play these games portable, I rather do it on something like my Steam Deck.

      And yes a phone is always with you, but these AAA games require a controller unless you hate gaming, touch based they are not fun to play, and that extra space for a controller could be used for a device like the Deck or others.

      Emulation works better on phones, some games play better with a controller, but something like a Pokemon game or a RPG on 3ds, PSP, DS and so on emulator can work fine with touch too.

      But real games like these just don't work that well, so again nice that game devs tried but this ain't it for me.

        25 to 50€? Nah, just pirate it, if you can (I'm from Serbia, piracy is popular).

          jiyen235, 30 Jun 2024who knew that paid games wouldn't be as popular on a p... moreBro if you dont like it its certainly not for you.
          For example i would pick AC Mirage over many else i am no fan of sports games or car racing games.
          Every person have different tastes and needs.
          For you its useless but many else will like it.
          They had to pick some new released game fpr topics.

          But in reality for exapmle i play Clash of Lords since 2014 and game is great After 10 years it undergo may changes many new things been added to the game and from a 30-60 minutes of game play a day it went to easily 3-24 hours to do something.
          Back then had my Huawei Y5 in 2014 and game were perfectly wiorking even on a phone with 1GB ram. Nowdays even phones with 6GB ram some have delay and lagg issues.

          Like with every phone you can and you have to update software to run the game. With every new update you have to update or game will not work but with every new update old phones have more and more difficualities to run the game.

            The inflated prices are ridiculous considering how much they cost on PC or consoles and who wants to play them on such small devices with touch? I probably wouldn’t even play them if they were free!

              If you want to play ten years old PC games, you buy them on PC for 2 dollars, not 20 bucks on a 5-inch touch screen device.

                These informations and the calculations are wrong because for example Assassins Creed Mirage was for 25€ for 2 weeks after the release date. Other games also the same.

                  TechJocky, 30 Jun 2024None of those are the AAA titles you mentioned But they are if you look at the download numbers Honkai Star rail and Genshin impact are most downloaded games also a heaqvy games suitable for flagships only.

                    Bro dont get me laugh.
                    Apple have best benchmark runmbers running nothing on backrund compared to Android phones.
                    When we speak about heavy gaming said games in topics or many else even more heavy games like Diablo UImmortal, Genshin Impact, Clash of lords first few minites are okay try tu play same game from 100% to zero battery.
                    Best android phones will have no issues. Said Apple device will lagg like hell from let say 15 minutes of gaming until your battery goes to zero.

                      What makes them think AAA games to be fun in a tiny screen's 70% visible area due to touch control?

                        A ton of people played the trial, but very few people went through to pay. Probably because it's too slow and not very good graphics-wise.

                          Anonymous, 30 Jun 2024I Don't play games on mobile phone on android or iOS, ... moreFew game like provide freebies and high value events at certain times in a scheduled fashion and in order to score them one needs to have instant access, also faster connection options like dual Sim plus WiFi are better for server based games. Also online multiplayer makes it surreal. There is a game which is supposed to lunch across all platforms it’s a first ever but not mention as genius here vote for which is a great game. Good things don’t seek justification.

                            Well honestly one must been completely hay straw filled brain to run any heavy game on Apple. It takes not much to deplete battery and the charging time is so long noone wants to wait that long.
                            And even if you play and charge at the same time your device is so hot you cant hold it properly without case.
                            Lastly if playing and charging at the same time your device battery gets a knock off soon.
                            Applle been best in performance on paper but when playing heavy games even half baked androids with SD 7 gen 3 for example preformed a lot better.

                            Apple and a gaming phone a good joke honestly.
                            They always claiming they are better at everything but real life experience and many famous people proven exactly opposite.

                                besides the fact iphone/phones just can't sustain performance playing these games, cloud streaming is much better and not stressful on your device
