A fool and his money are soon parted.

Like someone already said, I think it's a complete waste of time if they don't make it also playable on PC. Didn't they see how people reacted at Blizzcon to the Diablo mobile announcement? But I guess the JP fans may have different tastes as the gacha system is quite big there. But I think for a game that was originally a MMO, they should stick to prioritizing the gfx on better systems versus downgrading to some stupid mobile device. They should provide multi-platform support. I mean why would I want to explore some world on a small little dinky phone, and a phone that will most likely overheat and run on low battery, and not ever have as good gfx as a PC would.

You guys can keep hating but the industry fact is that free2p games on mobile are WAY more profitable than any other genre, and that all investors care. The only way to change this is to tell your friends and connections stop playing free2p games on mobile so games like that stop being profitable. Edit: Also just FYI, Nexons target audience probably isn't NA player anyways, but mostly korean/Chinese maybe JP players. F2P mobile game markets are BIG there. Offline

I believe Diablo on mobile is a great idea. However, how they announced it was what was bad. People were eagerly waiting for the announcement of Diablo 4. People got wind that a Diablo announcement was going to be made at E3 and were on the edges of their seats. Blizzard decided to announce a mobile game when then knew good and well people were waiting for the next PC iteration. What they should have done was announce Diablo 4 THEN announce Immortal as a "while you wait for 4" thing. It would have been viewed as icing on the cake rather than "this is what you get instead". Why do people like mobile games? I just dont get it
Some mobile games are fun but every time I play one I feel like my phone is going to blow up because it gets super hot. Anyone have that issue or is it just me?
Cheaper than a gaming rig and phones are a sign of status to some people so, if they have a badass one, they like to have it out to show off. Those are the things that come to mind. I sure as heck wouldn't play an involved MMO on a phone, but if I could do my FFXI dailies when I have down time or something, that would be nice.

Many people play mobile games at work/commute so they can focus on work and still get progress done as everything is automated. It's also kinda not ok to play PC games at work unless your employer allows it. I know a few serious gamer with all the consoles still play mobile games at work and just leave their phone on and do auto grind. Console games are for when they go home and want to have a good weekend. Since so many people plays mobile game some of them will pay because the user base is big enough. Hate it or not this kind of game will probably remain profitable just because the nature of it. People tend to play mobile games to kill time, not necessarily want to have an awesome gaming experience. Offline

I don't tote my Switch to the office and I can do something on my phone during a quick break. That's just one example off the top of my head. I'm sure others will have other reasons too. While I can respect that you don't find mobile games fun, I agree that they're not for everyone. Offline

While I can respect that you don't find mobile games fun, I agree that they're not for everyone. Even if you take switch to the office how many games on switch actually support auto grind and 3 min quick play? I don't see myself playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild while waiting for a meeting to start in the conference room. I can do that with a game on phone though, just auto grind on and put it in my pocket so I can still look professional :D The nature of mobile game is just very very different from console and PC, their target audience aren't even the same. Remember you can play mobile games on 15" screen Chromebooks! Doesn't have to be a tiny hand-held experience.
I'm feeling that release is being held back because Yoshi-P doesn't want it to compete with FFXIV subscribers. I don't think it'll be gacha/micro-transaction because we had Grandmasters already, so why bother doing that again, after all this time? I took the 15x recent images out of the source code of the artist's site because it was a gallery format and you couldn't just right-click/download. Feel free to message me on Discord and I'll send them through if you'd like, as am aware that sites putting them up are being issued with takedown orders. |
