I think what you said goes against the majority of people who post here. I see an awful, I mean a lot of "I don't like it and you shouldn't either!!!!!"
It's fine, for some irrational and not so irrational reasons it's hated by some. I use it a lot, I like it and see no problems with it but that's just me.
For once everyone on macrumors agrees on something...Apple Arcade is trash!
Apple Arcade could be much better. Bring Grand Theft Auto V to Apple Arcade. Alien Isolation should be in Apple Arcade.
Just wow. AA is a subscription service providing games where IAPs are forbidden. One would have to really have a weak understanding of the situation to invoke games that are the polar opposite of that. DI is the current poster child for ridiculous IAPs.
(I would LOVE for DI to come to Apple Arcade, and have Blizzard's IAPs removed. And so would everybody currently having a cow. It would shut the door on DI's ridiculous monetization) (But that's not what you meant. Did you actually know what you meant?)
Meh. It's just light games. JetPack Joyride has been very popular. No reason to sneer just because it might not be your cup of tea. Monument Valley 2 is also there. Beefier games seem to struggle on mobile. I hardly play on my iPhone (except 20, which is addictive). Personally I prefer my iPad and have found some good stuff like games like Xcom, Space Marshalls, Northgard, Company of Heroes, Elder Sign, Civ 6... but those won't be coming to AA. And I'm okay with that. I'd prefer paying for them anyway. I'm sad that Into the Breach was snatched up by Netflix, though.
I have Apple Arcade, but it’s due to the One subscription. Never use it. Did enjoy the first game, but I don’t play mobile games on my phone anymore. Uno on the iPad… is pretty underwhelming compared to the Switch version from Ubisoft.
I’m actually having a lot of fun with this. Too bad everyone in here reviewed it without having played it.
I think the games Apple Arcade is bringing are not exciting, however, I understand they can be exciting for many others. The big problem I see is they are releasing 1 game per week. They should bring more games and cover multiple categories every week so there is something for everyone.
I had this game in beta in Australia for a long time and it's kinda soulless, it doesn't "get" what made the original so good.
Good to see this game on Apple Arcade. Apple Arcade requires many more good quality games to succeed.
Sure, some games have mobile exclusivity. Also some, the creators only created versions for Apple platforms on purpose.
So the majority of games aren't exclusive, then?
Oh, okay. Good to know!
I guess you must really like advertisements and in-app purchases being shoved in your face then?
Apple Arcade
Apple Arcade is a game subscription service that anyone can enjoy, with 200+ incredibly fun games — all without ads or in-app purchases.www.apple.com
I know you're kidding, but I would appreciate mobile versions of those video games on Apple Arcade. Maybe it'll happen some day?
Diablo Immortal is already on apple store, full game i think
First I thought, there is a point indeed. But then, hey you can opt out of that subscription at any time. Even if you just play that one game for two months, its 2.50$ a month. So what. The developer has a larger exposure to the audience, its a win for everybody involved. At least in the short run. Plus its surely cheaper than buying the game and keep it forever.
Diablo immortal in Apple Arcade without the predatory IAPs would be AWESOME!!! 😄
Yes well, Apple is not exactly known for its gaming chops. Apple was and still is a gaming meme.I dont see that changing, and neither does Apple.
It’s odd because in the old days of the apple II there were loads of games , I wonder what happened to change apple’s attitude ?
I've been playing for a few hours now and have been really enjoying it!
I enjoyed it mainly cause of Asphalt 8+. It's ashame the game hasn't been updated in a few months cause it's fun and keeps the old stats of various vehicles.
That's where I'm at. Do I play any of the games on Apple Arcade? No, I don't. But I have a daughter who does. It's nice not having to worry about ads and IAP's. When it comes to games that have ads...I've run into some that aren't exactly appropriate for an 8 year old. That right there, makes Apple Arcade a win for me 🤷♂️
I don't really understand the people who get so bent out of shape about Arcade. If you don't like it or don't see the value in the cost (which that value isn't there for a lot of people. As an example for me...I'm not big into magazines, so News+ doesn't really have value to me...but I pay for Apple One Premier, so there it is! Like magazines for me, the games aren't going to appeal to everyone)...move on. Some people really seem incapable of grasping the concept that not EVERYTHING is going to appeal to them.
