I feel like the odd man out when it comes to mobile (or more specifically for MassivelyOP’s purposes, mobile MMOs). Everyone I know seems to love staring at tiny screens during commutes and smudging them to death while fumbling about with the latest in ham-fisted, view-obscuring touch controls.
Me, I prefer to sit in my overstuffed easy chair in front of a 60-inch TV with a controller in my hands, or in my other overstuffed easy chair in front of a triple monitor setup and surrounded by HOTAS stuff, big sound, and all the rest of the bells and whistles. There’s simply no comparison between real gaming and mobile gaming in my opinion. If I can borrow a line from Chris Roberts: “Sure I can watch The Dark Knight on my iPhone, but why would I want to?”
What about you, MOP readers? Are you all aboard the mobile gaming train? What am I missing?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
