Mobile gaming quality?

[rawfle]

No matter how old you are or how long your gaming history is, the chances are you still remember what intially caught your attention, sometimes for hours. That something that makes a game a game, that amalgamation of shapes, colors, sounds mixed in with emotions. With time, the standards for gaming have changed drastically, what we look for in games has stayed the same. With the gaming market rapidly growing, especially in the mobile domain, everybody is trying to get a piece of the cake that is made up of the mobile gaming industry. More often than not, instead of producing something unique, something really worth playing, developers sacrifice quality over time and development costs. Sometimes, the lack of imagination is at fault. Finding a game on the mobile platform, that provides a truly immersive and intruiding experience requires alot of effort to say the least. It seems that rather than creating something new and unique, developers are trying to ride the wave of success of other developers by producing similarly built games with only a few changeups in overall gameplay. I can not be the only one who gets the feeling that the mobile gaming industry is just about copying each other, who can make the best knock-off of a knock-off. Imagination and creativity have been abandoned, the greatness of a game is only valued of it ability to generate income, not paying attention to whether it actually serves its purpose.

Use paragraphs please. Your statement can be applied to almost every industry. For profit companies tend to play it safe with their products and the current trend.

They look for someone else to take the risk and if it becomes popular, they imitate and copy. Rinse and repeat.

I stick to pc games only.

I game on xbox, PC and rarely the PS3. All of my mobile gaming is on either my DS or my 3DS. I dont consider any phone game worthy. But yeah, 99% of mobile gaming (smartphone) is rehashed copying crap.

it's different kind of gaming. Mobile gaming is like Wii gaming. I choose to play BF3 and SC2 and stuff that only the most intense gamers play, but I don't mind going to parties where people play Wii. It's still fun.

That's the way I treat mobile gaming. IT's not like I'll get a good FPS anyway, and even if you could play BF3 on your phone, how well do you think you'd do compared to someone with a keyboard and mouse? It's not meant for "real games" anyway. It's meant for basic crap. Games you'd play while sitting on the subway or on a road trip. You wouldn't bring your laptop on a subway and tether it to your phone to play a CS scrim would you?
