ppl often forget that most ppl by the time they are at retirement age…are just tired.
If I’m in an assisted living facility, I don’t need much energy to “rush B” de_dust2 in Counterstrike 1.6 while I bunny hope with my knife out eventually creeping around back way to stab that goddamn camper with the AWP thats playing from his room next to the cafeteria. Also, if you didn’t buy a defuse kit, we’re going to have words. I might also hide your stool softener pills for a couple of days.
They are complete opposites. Most sport games are pick up and play: you can be playing almost instantly and are easy to learn, hard to master.
Plus they tend to be the perfect game for local multiplayer as most people already know the rules.
RPGs require you to create a character, go through several exposition dumps, go through a lengthy tutorial, etc. It's a genre that requires considerable time investments to having fun and sessions tend to become longer.
When it works, these can be fantastic multiplayer games, but finding someone willing to play is harder than putting a necktie on an eel.
I like the AAA and pc games that have come to mobile. I prefer to buy games outright upfront over getting Nickle and dimes or constrained by time limits which is so pervasive in mobile gaming. Like I like games like Grid Autosports and retro ports like the rockstar collection.
I prefer to play with an attached controller like my razor Kishi. I hope more developers will port their games to mobile because I hate made for mobile games
