powerade01 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 On a personal level, Id like to disagree with this new forum. I dont see the point. Handheld gaming forum already exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acnpt Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 On a personal level, Id like to disagree with this new forum. I dont see the point. Handheld gaming forum already exists. Eh? Yeah they created the mobile gaming section, instead of creating just an iphone gaming section. Its just this thread was the catalyst for that.

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted October 2, 2009 Veteran Share Posted October 2, 2009 Eh?Yeah they created the mobile gaming section, instead of creating just an iphone gaming section. Its just this thread was the catalyst for that. I think what he means is why make a forum if the PSP and DS already have their subsections, but again to make it clear this new forum is for Mobile gaming and not dedicated handheld consoles. Mobile Gaming iPhone, iPod Touch, Android, Zune and others. Dedicated portable gaming console threads (DS/PSP) should be posted under Nintendo or Sony Console forums (respectively). So PSP stays in Sony forum, DS stays in Nintendo, this is really for all other mobile / cell gaming, which is on the rise hence the demand for the new section. Yes, it may be a little confusing at first, but most PSP and DS games do not get released on mobiles, etc., and people will adapt real quick.

powerade01 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 this is really for all other mobile / cell gaming, which is on the rise hence the demand for the new section. Again I disagree. Mobile gaming has always existed and it plain sucks. Emulators and such do not count. Im talking about native games. They have always been a 15-30 minute thing and it stays at that. Now that I say this, should we talk about emulators (SNES, NES, etc) on a mobile phone in that section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted October 2, 2009 Veteran Share Posted October 2, 2009 Again I disagree. Mobile gaming has always existed and it plain sucks. Emulators and such do not count. Im talking about native games. They have always been a 15-30 minute thing and it stays at that.Now that I say this, should we talk about emulators (SNES, NES, etc) on a mobile phone in that section? You disagree, I get that, and I happen to agree with you that mobile gaming is not good. It is, almost all due thanks to the iPhone, exactly as I said, on the rise, I never once said it never existed prior to this point in history. So whether we like mobile gaming or not, which in fact I stated the following on Page 3 And let me just say, most games on the device suck right now. LOL Seriously though they do. Only a handful work well, and so far any game that attempts to use dual sticks is a huge fail for me, I guess I have bigger thumbs than normal people, so even Meteor Blitz which was getting such positive praise, etc., I absolutely dislike. ... really is not the point anymore. Members asked for the forum, members voted on the forum, and it was decided by the staff, who actually does then vote among themselves as well, that the members who wanted it could have the forum. It is at this point what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is at this point what it is. Members have asked for different forums (and also different things) and it hasnt been given to them. I dont mind having it there but if I had to choose, then no.
