DudeThatsErin Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I don’t play games on my phone. I only play them on my iPad as the battery lasts longer because it is bigger and the extra screen is nice for games. What about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I used to use an iPad for gaming. Until it pissed me off and I broke it with a whiskey bottle. That was the first iPad, and I haven't had one since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Unless you are rich and can handle the maintenance in these tough times. I think ipads for gaming is a bit rich hobby especially for those who use tap based games that can pretty much wear out the touchscreen in a 6 months or so. I personally prefer android cheap tablets, use it, play hard and throw them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagger Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 There's nothing wrong with mobile devices for gaming, the issue is the mobile gaming market. Most mobile games are a disgusting droplet of squid ink in a sea of disgusting squid ink. I believe it's possible to find a pearl or two in there somewhere, but it's just not worth the effort. The infection of horrible games with even worse business practices is so widespread, integral and worst of all accepted now that I don't think it will be taken seriously. Well, at least not by me.

I think there are games specific to the mobile version and so the tablet being attached to mobile app store. so the OP is asking in that context.

Depends on how much you are gaming though. iPads are incredibly durable and can handle all that tapping.

I’m sorry you feel that way. I love the mobile gaming, same with my sister. She is always playing games on her phone. They can get so addicting. On 7/17/2020 at 11:34 PM, SaucyPastaTho said: Nope.

Yes to some extent, the FPS and the battle royale tapping goes beyond the minimum number of touch and the tap it can handle on the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play games on my phone, and I'm content with that. I wouldn't mind having a bigger screen, but have no immediate plans to acquire another iPad. I know they've fixed a lot of the bugs since the first one, so it may be worth looking in to. But the first one was such a piece of shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreiMirfi Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I never had a Apple product. I, sometimes, play games on my Android phone when I'm away from my PC and I'm very bored. My phone is a Galaxy S7, so the screen is not so big and the gameplay is not so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I've hated Apple since the Apple2 computer I had to use in 7th grade typing class. But I do use an iPhone. I'll never own a Mac Book, or any Mac machine other than an iPhone or iPad. I prefer a PC. I like computers over Macs. I know someone is going to comment that Macs are computers, but technically they're not. They do the same thing, but it's like comparing a truck to a motorcycle. They do the same thing, but they're not the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the S7 was a good phone during its time. May be getting time to upgrade though lol On 7/25/2020 at 4:01 PM, The Blackangel said: I've hated Apple since the Apple2 computer I had to use in 7th grade typing class. But I do use an iPhone.

As much as I hate Apple. I must admit they make strong devices. Like android phones and the random windows or linux laptops hardly survive drops. whereas the apple devices can stand a lot of damage. I won't be surprised they come out with the first device in market where it can turn out to be a waterproof device. AndreiMirfi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
