>93% of gamers under 18 play exclusively mobile games it's genuinely over
What’s over?
>>719373769Good, keep them away from me.
>>719373769>normies play exclusive phone gameswhy is this bad again? is thanks to them that current
>>719373769Good, let them keep to their virtual day cares and out of games I might care about.
>>719373769That's a good thing though?Videogames went to shit when retarded kids started playing them, phone games will filter them out and companies will stop catering to them.
i will be starting my kid on SNES games like God intended
>>719373769>play games on desktop computerOK>play games on laptop computerOK>play games on special computer that plugs into TV OK>play games on special handheld computer with a screenOK>play games on special handheld computer with a screen that has more computing power than the average laptopNOOOOOO!!!!!! THAT'S NOT REAL GAMING!!!!! AARRUUUGGHGHhhghgh!!!
>>719373769Those 7% are going to make some of the greatest games of all time
>>719373843Holy ESL
Who the fuck has the money for non-mobile games these days?
Sweet. Maybe they will stop making games with mainstream appeal.
>>719374001Correct
>>719373769As they should, stationary games of today fucking suck AND run like it's 1996 and developers are just figuring out 3D.
Thats a good thingGood videogames are autogatekeeping normalfags
>>719374001Mobile "games" are glorified slot machines.
>>719374025>Final Souls 24: Long Shi Ting was such a good game.
>>719374001Yes.Mobile phones are fucking cancer trojan horses that triangulates your every move because you bring it everywhere you go

>>719374424>if that creepy looking manlet ACTUALLY played the guitar I'd be attracted to him!kek why do they even say stuff like that? Do they know they don't really mean it? Or do they actually mean it "in the moment"?
>>719374754as if your pc and console and handheld doesnt do the same
>>719374957if he played the guitar he wouldn't be a creepy looking manlet
>>719373769That is made up bullshit.
>>719374001As Carmac once said, a touchscreen is a mouse with one button, gameplay variety is pretty limited so devs offer you puzzles or "games" that play themselves. As nobody pays for games, devs use predatory practices for monetization
ponderous >>719342771
The planet is overpopulated so 7% is going to be numerically larger than whatever it was X years ago. And we'd be generally getting better ones.
I compiled my own lineage 2 server at 14, what are these zoomers doing?
>>719374001This but unironically
Its funny steamies think they are the future of gaming while the steam fanbase is aging and dying millennials mostlySteam will go the way of MySpace
>>719374424>why don't men choose hobbies based on my approval instead of their own enjoyment? This is so wrong.Dumb whore.
>oh my gosh mobile gaming is so yuc-->OH MY SCIENCE IS THAT AN ORIGINAL GAMEBOY OH YESSS MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES ARE COMING BACK WHEN I EXPLORED KAANTOOOOOOOOOOO
>>719373769>93% of gamersPeople who exclusively play mobile games aren't gamers, so the real figure is 0%.
>>719373769Just wish devs recognize normies play mobile garbage and stop making console/handheld games for them.A shame though gacha killed normal visual novels.
>>719374124americans are just as bad at writing as any esl anyway
I only play Genshin Impact. Endless content. Most beautiful game ever created. Best designs. Wholesome stories. Top notch gameplay.AND ALL OF THAT FOR FREE.
>>719373769>grown-up gamer too invested in fotm ubisoft with le tryhard gaming pc graphics for clout>someone doesn't know you're supposed to do that Emperor's New Clothes-style>play Battle Catsb A S e d
>>719373914You retard, this means companies will cater to them MORE.
>>719374001>More computing power than a LaptopIt's basically a Laptop overall, as it's worst of Desktops and Consoles in both respects, in computing power and battery life. Plus both get hot.
>>719384143>game devs will stop catering to minority audiences>OUR MINORITIES
>>719383587>Endless content.nah, 90% of the events are either the dogshit p2w combat or skipping filler quests>t. AR60
>>719379772>50,000 attempts in 9 monthsThis man doesn't know what "enjoyment" means, he's sick
>>719373769>"It's over guys where are the good ol' days where retarded babies played Meet N Fuck Kingdom"
I truly, sincerely believe OP and everybody who believed his post deserves to be shot to death by firing squad. Sage
>>719382995KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>719373769I bet that if I look at /v/ archive from around 10 to 15 years ago I will find the exact same thread, but mobile will be replaced with console
I miss when developers used to make actual video games
>>719384884Genshin Impact is one of the best games ever created.
>>719384396>taking the baitSomething smaller cannot by definition have more "computing power". It can have the same if more space does not translate to better performance due to some bottleneck. But never more.
>>719382995gameboy has actual buttons
>>719387672umm you werent so possed to point that out, chud. Stop contradicting me
>>719373769Most of those are just standard phone zombies who wouldn't play regular games regardless.
When I was 18 the only mobile game you could play was snake.
>>719373769It never was so good.This is perfect time to be gamer since every gaming company will have start to carter to old demographics, instead of hoping to find new ones. Those that wont do it will self segregate on mobile
>>719374001The compute unit and display unit is not the point. The input unit decides what kinds of games can be made.
>>719374424They hated her because she spoke the truth.
>>719373769sounds like only 7% of parents can or want to afford to buy dedicated gaming hardware for their kids. makes sense with how fucked up prices have become for everything and how wages haven't increased in 50 years while costs have multiplied.
>>719389356That's a lie.There was also space impact.
>>719374424>>719389518unironically this.if you push a skill in a video game that far at least make it something totally unrealistic like CS (no, women don't find airsoft attractive and real guns are not available in most places, plus way too expensive as a hobby) or arena shooters (literally impossible dream) or fighting games (irl martial arts give you spine and brain damage, they're a negative return on investment although you might actually attract a few chicks by being known as a guy who can fight, I suppose).the idea of perfecting a fake guitar when real guitars are so similar and not exactly expensive either is just fucking bizarre. everybody knows playing a real guitar gets you laid, and on a real guitar you can learn any song or compose your own songs. guitar hero was meant to be a casual party game, it was meant to dumb down guitar playing to a level that you can pick it up and learn "it" in a few hours. taking a dumb party game and turning it into a high performance sport is unambiguously retarded.
>>719373769>100% of actual gamers under 18 play games on either PC or a consoleSee, doesn't seem that bad
>>719373769>Implying I would not have been over the moon as a kid if I had a fucking magic brock that could play games with ps2 graphics in my pocket that I vould carry everywhere I see kids sit down together and play games with their friends all the time. I hear kids talk about games woth their friends when I commute in the morning. They enjoy games and you complaining they enjoy the wrong ones from a wrong kind of screen is just ypu being an Abe Simpson.
>>719373769Says who?
>>719373769How many of them are white?
>>719376223>a touchscreen is a mouse with one buttonThis is incorrect. A touchscreen also allows mutiple finger touch, swiping - with one or multiple fingers, and screen gestures. You can use both hands, which in some cases can be more efficient than using a mouse, and it's just plain satisfying to control stuff with your fingers. Phones also have gyro controls. Mobile games aren't bad because of bad inputs, it's that most devs don't make good use of the hardware.>nobody pays for games, devs use predatory practices for monetizationThis is true. Users look down on mobile apps and think they're not even worth a dollar (and then spend thousands on shitty mtx, the fucks), while also being fine with them being shitty as long as they're free. Also the store app sucks ass by promoting the most cancerous stuff and hiding game with good gameplay and sane monetization - even when you search for a specific title, a bunch of garbage pops up first.
>>719384923Maybe you're just a mediocre person who's uncomfortable seeing others dedicate themselves to something and make efforts in a way you can't replicate.
so? making big budget bloated AAA shit won't be profitable anymore? big deal. the tools are there, there will always be outlier people someone will make something. if your tastes are refined you should be mor accepting of this.
>>719391713stop asking questions
>>719391723touch screen means covering part of the viewing area, also no tactile feedback. mobile games suck at preservation hence so many older releases no longer work if the developer doesn’t upgrade or the user doesn’t upgrade their device.
>>719392784Phones are less than ideal for for complex action games, apart from maybe racing games. I don't get why devs insist on making/porting all these FPSes, hack'n'slashes and metroidvanias, shitting up the screen with all these buttons, and basically telling you to hook up a controller. It's so stupid.
>>719384923Let me guess: you failed at life because you got unlucky with "genes" and "talent", so it's perfectly fine that you don't put effort in anything.Did I get your cope right?
>>719374001Correct.Theoretically you could have legitimate games on a mobile platform. For instance, point and click games and oldschool isometric RPGs like Fallout would work wonderfully on a tablet or phone. But those types of games don't get made. You just get ADHD slop that serves as nothing more than mindless time wasters riddled with ads and microtransactions >>719373769At this point I don't even care. There are so many older games on my backlog or that I'll always want to play again that I'll never realistically run out of things to play.
>>719374001Listen, I legit believe there are some really good games on phones, but they get burried under all the fomo slot machine garbage. The user demographic is so different from "normal" vidya, the trash floats to the top, not the good stuff.So yeah, I would like to find a good game and those games almost always being less then 2 bucks sounds great, but I cant find them. Even "core" gamers recommend garbage like "dude its totally like a console fps on your phone", not "this shit is great because its on a phone.
>>719389779pressing 5 buttons is nowhere near close to playing a guitar. The only similarity between guitar hero and a real guitar is the shape of the controller. That's it. If he was playing a friday night funkin would you say he should play the guitar>t. plays rhythm games and learning to play the guitar
I remember those mobile games from back in the day when they had actual buttons, and to no one’s surprise they were a million times better than the touchscreen ones.
This is a good thingIf 90% of zoomers were playing traditional video games you would see a whole lot more bad shit in games. Fortunately, all the worst practices happen on the mobile ghetto that they're kept in.I'm not just talking about like dumbed down mechanics, or more cartoon characters inserted into video games where they don't belong.I'm talking about shit like games having ads in them as well. People that play games on mobile literally tolerate ads in their games. As well as the most extreme predatory microtransaction..
>>719373769>underage leave my hobbyI'm supposed to be sad about it?
>>719389779The only thing retarded is thinking if a person likes guitar hero, then they'll automatically like playing guitar, or that they 'should'. Maybe they don't care about learning guitar, maybe they only care about what they care about. Maybe someone can just like guitar hero a lot. Ever think about that? People can have exceptional affinities for things you don't particularly care for. Shocking, I know.
>>719389779>Rhythm game>Shaped like a guitar therefore totally like playing a guitarUr beyond retarded.
>>719373769By "mobile", you mean exclusively Roblox, Fortnite, and subway surfer or whatever that vertical running game is called.
>>719394080>pressing 5 buttons is nowhere near close to playing a guitar.yes, it's much simpler. but by the time you become an EXPERT at this shit you could have gotten decent at guitar as well.>>719395179the people you are protecting with this argument are casual players of guitar hero. a demographic I said nothing negative about. I didn't say nobody should ever have played guitar hero. I said you shouldn't take a dumb party game and make it your life's mission to become the best at it. that's fucking retarded. I don't even care if instead of that he learns to play a real guitar, he SHOULD have done literally anything else instead that's even slightly less retarded. that's most things.
How the fuck are you mongrel retards still taking the bait?LookLOOKAT THIS SHITNEARLY 40 REPLIES TAKING IT SERIOUSLYIT'S MADE UP. IT'S A FICTIONAL FUCKING STATISTIC. I CAN DO IT TOO. DID YOU KNOW 93% OF PEOPLE WHO POST ON /V/ ARE MOBILE GAMERS????? OMG!!!!!
>>719395762>the people you are protecting with this argument are casual players of guitar hero. a demographic I said nothing negative about. I didn't say nobody should ever have played guitar hero.

I don't even care if instead of that he learns to play a real guitar, he SHOULD have done literally anything else instead that's even slightly less retarded. that's most things.Are you underage or being a troll? The only thing retarded that a person can actually do, is choose for or against doing anything based upon what others think. If a person wants to master guitar hero because that's what they like, then it's as simple as that. The only thing retarded and quite pathetic would be if they stop and think 'ohhh but the silly wahmen won't like me or some idiots might judge me, so instead of doing what I like, I should do something else that gets me social points even if I don't even like that thing'. There's nothing more retarded than choosing your hobbies and interests based on what others consider desirable or negative.
>>719373769GOOD Normies get the fuck out of my hobbyREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>719373769Did console die because phone or did console kill itself leaving only phone?

>>719373769I can confirm.I teach history at high school and until 2020-21 teens still played plenty of videogames. Talking with students about Dark Souls, Assassin's Creed, Battlefield etc. during breaks was a sure-fire way to make them like me and act respectfully during lessons. After Covid I found students gradually less and less interested in videogames, and now I have entire classes where no one plays anything except Fortnite/GTA Online and mobile games.
>>719389779one day you'll grow up and realise there's more to life than toiling for the ever fading approval of others, you will die alone and all that "pussy or money" you totally could have gotten if you just sorted your shit out and grinded harder means much less to you than the time you spent on things that you actually cared about
>>719395803But I get to vice signal about how videogames sucks now and how gatekeeping is good actually :c(
>>719374001>playing sovlless gachaslop lootbox p2w games is totally the same as everything else!
>>719382995i look like this
>The generation with the most brownoid to white ratio in terms of population, the most socially fucked and anxious generation due to covid, and the most mentally defunct are all going to stay in mobile gaming due to hyperactivity and ADHD brains, and can't afford gaming PCs.GOOOOOOD, stay the fuck away from PC gaming please!
>>719373769that only means that only 7% of people who claim to play video games are actually gamers
