It’s been an interesting few weeks for gaming. We saw the announcement of Google’s game streaming service, Stadia, and then Apple’s subscribe-to-access game service, Apple Arcade. The services differ, but they get to the same basic place: pay a flat fee and get access to all these games. Google and Apple are not the only players in this space. Amazon is rumored to be developing a service; Microsoft has a similar service, and so does Sony. There are other services out there, but for ease of discussion, I’m going to focus on Google and Apple. This movement isn’t all the rainbows and sunshine that these huge corporations make it out to be. There are concerns about what this means for gaming as monetization impacts gameplay. But first, let’s establish who’s paying – and who’s getting paid. Who’s paying? I’m basing this on speculation because there aren’t many details out there yet for Apple Arcade or Google Stadia. If … [Read more...] about Lawful Neutral: The future of MMO game design in a streaming gaming world

The world of mobile MMORPGs just seem to keep growing, and right at the start of 2019, we’re set to welcome a new one. NCSOFT has just announced Aion: Legions of War, based on the world of Aion’s rich MMORPG. With that, we’re taking a look at the best mobile MMORPGs that you can play on your mobile phones right now in 2019. Lineage M Considered the darling of NCSOFT’s mobile MMOs, Lineage M is a medieval fantasy MMORPG that packs a punch. Pretty much everything you expect in a mobile Lineage MMORPG is delivered on a silver platter. Diverse class selections, social party play, big monster to slay and of course, let’s not forget the massive raid bosses. Lineage M was a huge commercial success in its native country South Korea, which later saw the app expand into the West. Arcane Legends If classic is more to your taste, than perhaps Arcane Legends might do the trick. The game has had a long run on the app stores and is still going strong today. As a free … [Read more...] about 5 Mobile RPG Games To Check Out On Your Phones

I’ve been a bit frustrated with Niantic lately. I love some of its ideas, but I watched someone else play Ingress prior to Pokemon GO’s release, and I noticed very similar problems between the two games after release — problems that the company should have noticed and corrected in its followup. Recently I decided to try out the former. Both are totally unintuitive. You have to search the UI for the tutorials, though Ingress’ can be accessed only near objectives. You’re asked to join a faction sooner there than in PoGO and with no context beyond 2-3 sentences. The game throws jargon with little to no context at you throughout the tutorial, making it difficult to follow. I walked around, clicking things and used items that I don’t fully understand, not because I’m too lazy to read but because I wanted to understand a game without consulting google. I saw portals get taken without anyone around me as I stood … [Read more...] about The Soapbox: Why is Pokemon GO still a tech demo?
