Depends. I enjoy a card game or sudoku on mobile.
But for real games I use my PC. I don't understand people going crazy about the steam deck too. Who in their right mind enjoys for example Cyberpunk on a tiny screen, that's like watching Dune on your phone. What's the point?
Actually, the answer for small screens is specially for porn games. A lot of people cannot comfortably enjoy them on a laptop or desktop IBM PC, so they need a device they can take with them into their bed so they can comfortably play these.
Unfortunately, the developers did not listen, so people like me risk hurting their neck and back to play these in bed by using a laptop.
Not to mention, my Pixel 7 Pro has a much better display than my laptop.
uh,
Dependent? It's not dependent but targeted. That is the largest market for computers and computer accessories. That's why the PC market is often targeted because the rest of the majority exists.
are you basing that comparison on anything in reality?
The very robust selection and extreme amount of fine-tuning of emulators on that really old business laptop vs... all Android gets. The only Sega hardware that is emulated on Android is the Dreamcast. For Saturn and below, there is nothing. Even weak IBM PCs just have a very robust library of games that smartphones have stopped making attempts to catch up to.
Technically Dreamcast emulation is superior on Android over anything else... but you can easily run Android apps on an IBM PC.
Take a game wrote for a pc and compare it to any mobile game.
Which is game has better graphics?
Which game has a better story?
Yeah the PC game will be better.
I meant the hardware comparison of some near decade old garbage vs a modern phone
I'm playing a game on a 1.5 year old Ipad and playing a 12 year old game on my pc. The 12 year old game still looks better. When I started playing that game on pc, I was playing on a 15 year old pc... That pc game still looks better than any mobile game that I've ever seen.
So yeah I'd stand by the statement that pc games will look better then mobile games. There's always more power in the PC.
Which PC game?
Are you actually asking why PC gaming is better than mobile gaming???
Mobile games are ad ridden bullshit apps which are about as fun as scraping your balls against razor wire.
PC games have always been superior if your PC is specced well. If not, just play older games.
Except, I am talking about an ultra-low-end business laptop with integrated graphics and 4 GB of RAM...from 2015. Its gaming experience is still dramatically superior to even flagship smartphones from 2022, simply because those smartphones are not IBM PC compatible enough to run any software.
