^Personally most Free to Play and Mobile games today feel more like the UFO catchers and other ticket machines rather than top arcade games sadly.


You're playing the wrong ones.

^What do you recommend? I don't play many phone games, so there's probably lots that I haven't tried yet.

On my phone currently:
Knights of the Old Republic: best phone game I've played, great port of a great game.
Rhythm of Fighters: Fun, but only works with an internet connection, so I never play it because I usually play on bus/train. Micro transactions out the ass, but I've only played for about 20 minutes all up so don't know how intrusive it is.
Hitman GO: Kinda fun puzzley game that I bought for $1. It's okay but kind of dull.
Another World:
Metal Slug 3:
Raiden Legacy: All three of these last ones are great games that are borderline unplayable due to horrid touch screen controls.

Well from SEGA I recommend Chain Chronicles, if you like JRPGs anyway.

Everyone has been telling me about it, but it really doesn't look like it would appeal to me. I might give it a shot just to see what the fuss is about.

Does it have a beginning and end, story etc?

The 'chain' in the title is about how characters stories 'chain together', in a similar way to how Valkyria Chronicles had various character driven quests and stories. It's very story driven.

That's the best you can do ? . Not much to shout about from SEGA and hardly what I call a Arcade game.

Quote
Even my favourite genre, platformers, are now almost always shoe horned with something other than platformer, wither its racing elements, combat or some specific gimmick, you don't actually get solely platformer games anymore outside of Nintendo. Times change and I think we'll see a negative trend with console gaming too

Its just a cycle and I guess that its really hard to do a platform game well in 3D . But lots of genre's go in and out fashion. I remember growing up and in those days GOD game, Flight sims and point and Click games were all the rage on the PC now that's all gone , growing up in the 32 bit generation Snowboard games and Fighting games were all the rage and that's all gone . To me reflects nothing to do with console decline

and I see an awesome opportunity for that to return with Mobile/Tablet and PC gaming... What is Arcade gaming if not pick up

C'mon then sharky you tell me how classic SEGA coin Up games like OutRun, Rally II, Virtual Fighter 2,3,4 , F355, Out Run II, Virtual On can be played on the mobile or even the Tablet and if one looks at some of the more recent  SEGA coin ups like Boardbreak or Shining Cross would have serious trouble on the mobile or tablet .

On my I Pad I have the likes of Sonic, Jet Set Radio and quite a few cave shooters and its pretty rubbish to play them on the tablet really, nothing beats the control of the pad  . I know what you're trying to do and its like defending SEGA at all costs and maybe even hopping SEGA would use those profits to make console games or sequels we want from SEGA but its not going to happen. Trying to play Shenmue III, Skies of Arcadia II, Virtual Fighter 6  on the mobile just wouldn't work for me  and its not me isn't what SEGA is about.

To me SEGA should have separate mobile arms handling the mobile stuff while the main Team inside SEGA Japan try and make the best console games they can 
Panzer Dragoon Zwei is
One of the best 3D shooting games available

"Why can't I play Arcade games on tablet?"

... what?


This is the lamest argument against mobile I have seen. SEGA's line up is 90% new IPs or games because mobile is its own platform. You can just continue repeating the same shit you did in arcades and hope to stay in business. SMH.

Didn't you praise Capcom for doing new IPs and turn around and whine about SEGA?

^ Just understand that the combat is meh. Very easy and casualized. But the concept outside of that I like.

He got a warning for continuing on with an off topic debate after numerous times of being told to stop, and I guess one warning was enough to make him want to up and leave. :-/ it was a warning too, not even a ban or anything.

In other news, there is " rumor" about Bloodborne is going to be released for PC. Guess what? The source is Amazon France, the same one that leak the PS4 release of TLOU and all the PC ports of those first Xbone third party exclusives.

So, Sega is doing the right thing IMO.
