Being mostly a PC gamer, I was quite blown away when Operation Flashpoint came out in 2001. My little brain just melted.

Crysis was also pretty landmark IMO, I remember how it felt like you had a BC and AC period, a.k.a. Before Crysis and After Crysis. The visuals were just top notch, especially considering the complete lack of any post-processing wizardry like filters, or a weird color palette. And coupled with the physics engine and the awesome effects.

Oh and Company of Heroes in 2006, that blew my mind as well. All the destruction, the detail on the individual soldiers, the amazing animations etc.

I didn't say that it's more prone, I just remembered gerrymandering being a problem. Though I'm not an American so I really don't know much about your system.

Well gerrymandering for one. Though I doubt that's a massive problem.

In any case that guy didn't really have the right to speak, so I think it's pretty fair he got thrown out.

So I guess we wont be playing cheap LoL rip offs on mobile phones then?

So sad :(

At least you'll always have your Angry Birds/Flappy Birds/Clash of Clans

I'll just leave you two alone for now, seems you have such a nice private little forum here, for all the people that care about mobile gaming.

Don't really give half a shit about your little fit, I just find your posts hilarious.

Plus why don't we play one of your cheap mobile gaming rip-off LoLs rather? I mean it's basically like console quality already.

And lol at that Minesweeper jab.

The sun?

No never owned one. Guess I'm a "noob gamer". Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go play Victoria II or something, something simple, for us "noob gamers". Clash of Clans seems too hard for me to be honest.

Mobile gaming is lol lol

Clash of Clans wooo, better payup so you can get that tower quicker.

Mobile gaming is mostly a joke, the only really good ones are the really obscure indie stuff or just regular PC/console ports. The entire scene is just a sad affair, like, seeing the Clash of Kings or Clans or whatever have adds with Age of Empires, Total War etc. pictures in them. Just reading the store descriptions and the pictures alone usually turns me off from even downloading them.

What I'm most sad about is that it had, and probably still has, potential. But right now it's in a massive gutter. Too many games are simple 3rd rate rip-offs of anything that is currently popular on PC/console, while alot of the rest are stupid clicker paywall BS. The biggest problem is that people for some reason don't like paying 10-20$ upfront for a game, yet always loose themselves in paywall schemes. If you look at the games that cost 10ish$, they are good, decent hardcore PC ports. But there's also the problem that any native "hardcore" development is really limited, with "native" mobile games being mostly really casual and simple, while the "hardcore" games being ports and clones of console/PC games.

For now mobile gaming is shit and a joke. But download TheoTown, it's ace. Cool Sim City 2000 clone, free, and made by one guy. No paywall crap or whatever, just download it so he gets more exposure.

Alien and Aliens, a load of elements from both movies basically became staples of Sci-Fi and even horror.
