Final Fantasy IX on my little Miyoo Flip. I've never played a FF game before and it's my wife's favourite so I thought why not. So far I've helped steal a ladder, had a concert ticket turn out to be a fake :( and stole gil from a few houses and I'll play some more this evening. It's also a beautiful looking game.
There are so many games being made nowadays that it's not even hard to avoid the shitty "service" games. It's just that the mainstream gamer/society doesn't bother looking but there are plenty of games with closure.
Someone mentioned this before but the headlines for this story is very misleading. Now ArsTechnica have added "android-based" like that makes a difference...
Sega had it very rough in the late 90s and 00s which didn't help but recent time have been much improved for the blue hedgehog. I agree with what you're saying though that the respect wasn't there, for Sonic and even their company history.
Thanks. Great recommendation.
