I for some reason fee feel compelled to get one, but when I think about it, are there really any great games on Android that I either can't already play on the pc or the switch, or will be able to eventually. I've thought about getting a good one from Eldler Scrolls Blades but that's got a planned pc and switch release, so I'm drawing a blank.

Do you think there's anything that great? Keep in mind that I don't really care about multiplayer, and as a general rule hate pvp.

I wonder if I'd be better off just getting something that can do epub and comixology angd last for at least 8 hours.

Assoluto Racing is a Gran Turismo style game for mobile. I don't think there's anything similar for Switch, although Forza 7 is available for W10.

Decently enough, but even better with a controller.

I've been playing Last Day on Earth. It's an absolute grind-a-thon unless you download a modded version but it certainly keeps me occupied during down time.

*sighs* Yeah, kidna feels that way.

I did get a lot out of Final Fantasy Record Keeper and FF Opera Omina though, but I've kinda had my fill of Record Keeper, and Opera Omina I didn't realize that your save data was connected to your facebook, and you lose everything if you uninstall the game. Can't tell you how pissed off I was to find that out the hard way. Mgiht give it another shot one day though if it becomes compatible with an android emulator.

Marvel: Contest of Champions is literally the ONE fighter that I'm actually somewhat competent at thanks to the super simplified controls, and the fact that there's constant storyline to go through, but I ended up spending most of my time dealing with the very limited inventory space.

Fallout Shelter is a really really REALLY fucking good game, and easily the best mobile game ever. I had fun with it for several weeks.

I'm hoping that Elder Scrolls Blades will be fun, but like I said, it's coming to both the pc and switch, so there's no big reason to upgrade my phone.

Much like PC I say mobile isn't really a 'gaming platform'. Sure it has stuff that in a loose sense resembles games but it's mostly trash. Anything worth playing will appear on a console, meaning you won't need to spend extra on flaky hardware or jump through hoops to get some inferior digital software to run properly.

As they say - you get what you pay for. That's why nearly all of it is free...

I had a PC a long time ago. Then things happened and it's closer to mobile than you think. People buy one and call themselves gamers but they really aren't. Makes me laugh.

I always treat mobile gaming as "well, I need something to do while I am bored and don't have a video game system available". As such, I don't really pay attention to what is "good" or "bad", just something that I will gladly sink 5-10 minutes into at a time.

It's the truth so whatever. They asked, I said no. Easy enough. I showed my collection a few days ago so it's not like I'm mistaken.

I'm not a big fan of PC gaming, but I know it's not that close to mobile. It much closer to console than mobile for sure. I'm not even sure how you think that...

Eh, it's not bad. I like going through the main campaigns, but I don't wanna play it unless I can actually go through a whole completed campaign.

infinity blade trilogy comes to mind

Also Chaos Ring never left the mobile format.

There is also Vay and original Lunar on mobile that never got ported.

I'm still shocked they didn't bring the 3 assassin creed games over or KHU3 or the galaxy on fire 1 (I think 2 is on steam)

also there was a great mass effect game that was on the iphone. There were 2 but only one was using 3d models.

Yeah, for the most part they are.

I would, but I currently don't have my phone or phone games. I can probably share next week. But I know that while lots of games give you the option to pay, most of those don't require you to pay to win. Especially team games. I've played team games with some old neighbors. And because we built a good team and could communicate, paying was not necessary...
