Why The iPad Mini Consolidates Apple's Place In The Mobile Gaming World - Polidicks

[QUOTE=thisispain;38320333]have you tried sticking iphones up your bum? the form factor is all off[/QUOTE] it's also easier to mold cheap plastic to the shape of your anus. aluminum.. not so much

[QUOTE=Socram;38319991]I guarantee 90% of the people who mock the mobile gaming world play games on their phone every single day.[/QUOTE] Yes, I play games on my phone, but they're only good for when you have literally nothing else to do, like waiting on a bench. I can only stomach them for 10-15 minutes at a time.

[QUOTE=Protocol7;38320352]it's also easier to mold cheap plastic to the shape of your anus. aluminum.. not so much[/QUOTE] Cheap but durable plastic > Shitty aluminum that shatters and dents every time it contacts a feather blowing gently in the wind. Whether you're putting it up your anus or not, I suppose.

[QUOTE=Protocol7;38320483]lmao the iphone 5 beats the shit out of the GS3 in drop tests[/QUOTE] Haven't seen those, but the S2 wrecked the 4/4S in every single drop test I saw so I'd be interested in seeing if this is actually true. Got any links?

This WOULD matter if mobile gaming actually held a candle next to any other sort of gaming.

[QUOTE=Ezhik;38320521]or you could try to not drop your phones and get the pretty one[/QUOTE] Or you can say "to hell with it" and just get the one that suits your needs the best, regardless of who it's made by. Besides, "pretty" is subjective.

[QUOTE=Ezhik;38320521]or you could try to not drop your phones and get the pretty one[/QUOTE] I don't even think the iPhone looks good really, the GUI most of all looks hideous and outdated to me. If I were to get an iPhone, it would be for the specs/screen which are apparently pretty great on the iPhone 5. I still wouldn't want one though, because objective c is awful as fuck and developing for iOS is way more closed.

A mid-point between touch and buttons would be amazing for gaming. I could very much see an RTS working well. You'd need physicality though. A moulded screen with buttons that are also touch screens would be great- so you could actually press down on something while it's dynamically updating graphically. Later on we could move to screens that actively change their surface physicality so that buttons can take new forms or appear in new areas of the screen.

[QUOTE=meppers;38320617]wrong videos, he's talking about the galaxy s [B]2[/B], which was far superior to what apple offers in terms of durability we dont need to see these videos to know that that s3 is flimsy trash[/QUOTE] I actually asked to see the S3 comparison videos vs the iPhone 5, because I knew the S2 won out in that series of phones. Either way, I don't own and don't plan on getting the S3, my only Android so far has been the Galaxy Nexus and I've really liked it so I'll probably get the next in that line that comes out. As far as how the videos held up, the 1st can't even be considered because it was so poorly controlled, but the second video was a bit better. It's definitely true that the iPhone seemed to fare better than the S3 but both faired awful as far as the kind of drops that actually damage the phone. It really doesn't matter if your phone has slightly less cracks in the glass after you drop it, if your entire front face is cracked to shit it's done.

Why isn't anybody marketing some sort of semi-elastic safety cord? You'd clip it to your belt or pocket or whatever so that if you drop the phone it doesn't crash to the ground

Brother's has managed to keep his iPhone alive despite him destroying everything he's ever owned (including lots of other apple products)

because it would be ugly

apple has a good idea with the new ipods and the little cord they have for that unobtrusive but still reliable maybe not the best looking thing in the world though [editline]4th November 2012[/editline] of course there's these lovely things called cases and not being reckless with your electronics i have all my tablets without a case and have yet to drop any

Wow you guys are fucking petty I enjoy mobile gaming GTA, Bad Piggies, Minecraft, etc are cool to play both on my phone and kindle fire Suck it bitches

More like it's place in the casual gaming world I've never heard of an iphone game with a long and interesting story, deep characters or interesting (rather than touch-based gimmicky) gameplay, other than ports of games from proper consoles. There's a big difference between "portable gaming" (DS and PSP) and this.

Doom RPG was kind of neat I guess.

My mom, who is pretty much useless with computers, managed to install Ubuntu on her super-old Windws 98 -PC so she could use it for bank and other important internet-things. She did this because my sisters always hog all the PC's they have. It holds your hand all the way too, and the OS itself is super-simple. How the hell can you fail that?
