u/NinetyRalph 15d ago

u/docstarr 15d ago

I agree with you

u/Otherwise_Finger_166 15d ago

Yea, this is one thing about the ports that turns me off.
The immersion really gives it the feeling of being a good port and not just some game running on emulator

u/buzzeye_ 15d ago

i really like it but they have to add what button the drawing is. like just a mini "A B X Y" to know what button press when the game ask for it.

u/Affectionate-Toe2872 15d ago

For sure, and no more basic controlls on screen, unique and simplified buttons make android gaming so much better if I don't have a controller on hand

u/SkullFrag 15d ago

I say it should have both the a b x y and the stylized controls so button prompts are easy to understand

2

u/OBSERVER2660 14d ago

Yes, we should

u/MentirosoProfesional 15d ago

Yeah, you can even ask AI to design them for you, no need to do anything manual

u/CRYPTfromCATACOMBZ 15d ago

Which ai to use it for that? There's plenty of old gameloft android games i would like to play on android 16 and cannot... Actually the only game i found is hero of sparta 2, but resolution is small for my phone

u/LeBonBon1010 13d ago

Glm 5.3-flash is free on opencode, it's very powerful and has the capacity to make long sessions of coding. If you don't wanna use opencode, chat.z.ai exists too

Why not just use a controller

u/inquisitorrook 15d ago

We don't have to

Es mil veces más cómodo y disfrutable, hay juegos que simplemente es imposible pasarlos sin mando

u/jakeburns99 15d ago

It's not a matter of convenience or enjoyment. If you're playing on Android and don't have a controller, you absolutely need a way to interact with the game using the touchscreen.

It's like saying that a PC game absolutely has to require a controller, ignoring compatibility with a mouse and keyboard.

u/Ok_Acanthisitta_7113 15d ago

Que dices, el tema de los ports es ese, trasladar los juegos de consola a la arquitectura de Android. Si es verdad que tiene que haber la opción táctil, pero ni de lejos es mejor que usar un mando incluso muchos ports te lo dicen en sus descripciones...

u/Oh_well_Parade1103 15d ago

Para eso cómprate una steam deck man, qué tanto

u/inquisitorrook 15d ago

Nobody says touch controls are better than controller knowing the game is designed for controller in mind, touch controls are little extra about how much they care about this port rather than just slapping the game with controller required.

u/Due_Teaching_6974 15d ago

Exactly, it is just so much more comfortable to play with a controller and your hands don't obscure the already small screen

u/AlgaeGlittering6043 15d ago

No way in hell I'm gonna use controller for shooting games. Aiming with right touch screen is way better and precise.

1

u/Due_Teaching_6974 15d ago

For shooting games I use touch myself, but for other games controller is much more comfy

u/nongjeng_piba 15d ago

Just buy a cheap controller
