iPhone Gaming Bore

iPhone gaming, or any smartphone gaming, is boring.

I have been an owner of iPod Touch since first generation up to the fourth of today, and it is exciting to try for the first time the touch screen gaming on a mobile. It feels like an innovative breakthrough to pinch, zoom and throw some angry birds. But after 5 years of iPhone gaming, its prevalence widespread, it became tiresome and uninteresting. 

What’s the best games it offers? Infinity blade is a series of repetition. EA and gameloft games are sluggish. It’s a laughable move to bring games to the iPhone and earn extra bucks in their famous titles. It’s a disappointment. Even angry birds, where’s my water, or tiny wings, and most of physics and puzzle games that are mostly known and bought, are games of similar denominator – games of trial and error. It is mostly up to chance to get 3-stars in each angry birds stages. iPhone games are simplistic, repetitive, and not worthy of gaming time for avid players.

Nintendo is right in saying that iOS gaming is destroying the gaming industry openly because it lowers the expectations on gaming. It pushes developers to submit to the simplistic demands of iPhone gaming, but these games aren’t really worthwhile. Portable gaming is PSP and NDS. They are the ones with titles worthy of the playing for the sake of playing; unlike iPhone games that you play for the sake of burning time in queue.

I chose immense gameplay and richly made storylines of console gaming. They have the real games, worth of my money and time spent. Call me old fashioned but I always loved buttons on my gaming device.

Gamers, do you agree with what I’m saying?

There’s so much hype with these next generation of gadgets that people are prompted to spawn websites that will gather all the buzz like PS4Forums, or the creation of these cool but sappy concepts.

I remember myself being a new gadget patron back in the era of Nokia. It is so clever of Nokia to not include all the cool features in one cellphone so as to keep their new products interesting with the new collaboration of features. And being a victim of the pitch, I almost always want and buy the new releases of Nokia phones.

But then I learned, upon fatuous spending of thousands on cellphones, that I can’t match the progression of technology. Even if I got the latest gadget right now, it won’t last until the release of the successor or the release of a better product from competitors.

If you plan to chase technology, then you have lost. Invention and innovation will not wait for you, whether you are ready to purchase financially or not. These companies will think of profit and competition, so they’ll keep on releasing better gadgets that will surpass the majority to provide leeway for the prodigal to boast their “coolness”.

The thing is, you just enjoy what you have now. What if these companies released a newer product? You still have your iPhone 4 that still will function as a phone and as an “iPhone”; or you still have your PlayStation 3 and an indubitably great selection of games to enjoy.

These companies can only offer a new product, but I honestly think that it is us who knows how to savor our life and all our possessions. Don’t let these new gizmo make you think the way their companies are thinking.

What gadget got you upgrading with the latest?
