It won't be long until people start looking fondly back on the times spent playing on their phones the same way people in the mid 2000s looked back on the NES or Genesis.

    I've been nostalgic for classic Android games ever since they removed Gun Bros from the Play Store in 2018 and made it so not even the APK would work due to Facebook integration.

    I don't agree. We look back fondly on those consoles because we spent a lot of time on them making memories. Phones games you play for 5 minute bursts. It's not enough time to form memories

      Black person kids spend their whole day playing genshin or roblox on their phones. You stuck in the past? You think phone games are still just Snake?

        You realize if you FtP genshin you maybe have 3 hours of content tops before exp gains drop to the point it’s not worth it, right?
        No kid is playing genshin all day. They go to Fortnite or pubg

          If you start genshin today you could probably play for 200 hours straight and not run out of content.

          >exp gains drop
          You've never played a gacha in your life have you? You level up characters by using XP granting items (that drop from chests), not by killing mobs. "exp gains" from mobs are basically just an easter egg. There's no gating in Genshin, you can start now and play all the way to current story, doing no farming at all. Just the shit you pick up on your quests will be enough to level and equip your characters.

              Mobs drop mob materials that you also need to level up, so you still farm mobs, don't worry. Now it's a 10/10 right? You love farming mobs don't you, apparently

        OP explicitly said "it won't be long" implying this is like 2-3 years away. Kids who grew up playing genshin and roblox on their phones are barely 12 now. Their not old enough to even have nostalgia yet and won't be for more than half a decade.
        OP is not implying we'll be nostalgic for phone genshin. He's saying we'll be nostalgic for early iphone/android games

    i have tons of nostalgia for old PDA games, i remember fricking around to run half-life 1 on quake engine on palmOS, i remember my dell axim x50v which was among first PDAs with a 3d accelerator, i remember spending tons of my life playing Space Trader. Good memories.

    if modern kids will nostalgia about genshin impact in the future, i won't blame them and i'll assume their memories of past are just as nice to think back to as mine are for me

          No it's not. Keyboard buttons are tactile and therefor gives objectively a better experience than using a flat non-tactile touchscreen.

            Sure but that doesn't make flash games any less garbage. Probably worse than early 2010s phone games.

            He probably thinks an iPhone or an Android phone with nothing but a massive touch screen being the only means of interaction with the software.

            God I fricking hate touchscreen only phones so goddamn much. Give me a slideout physical QWERTY keyboard with some regular navigation keys and a Sony Ericsson style joystick right under the screen. I miss the times when phone design was actually fun and functional.

        Back then the business model was that you'd be sending premium SMS messages to get the games, but then again, most of us downloaded all the .jar files from the web for free because frick paying for shit for your phone. Go to some shady site and make your candy bar Nokia kinda look like Windows Vista for free, and get some cool games and funky programs while you're at it.
