I don't hate console gaming since I think it can never really be replaced by mobile games but I do enjoy mobile gaming since with emulators I can still enjoy some of the retro console games I enjoy like Rockman.EXE, Summon Night, Persona etc and some mobile games I found I have enjoyed as well FF3, Symphony of Eternity, Chos Rings etc but after trying some new ones I found a problem with them that I personally don't get, why do I have to be connected to the internet to play a single player or offline game?
To me that just seems illogical and redundant since its not a MMO or an online game where you play against other people its a single player game. FF3 on Android is just as fun as it is on the DS but something I can't comprehend is why does the official one want me to be online to play it when it has no multiplayer features in fact even the DS one has limited multiplayer features so there was no real need for that game to keep requesting me to be online and does that make me want to buy it knowing it will waste my data just for playing by myself? Hell no I wouldn't give a shit about it if I didn't find a cracked version of it where you can play the single player game offline.
The same thing happened when I first tried Chaos Rings, it wouldn't work on my phone because my phone was rooted? What the fuck. Then after that was fixed it wanted me to again be online to play a singleplayer game and until the offline version was released not officially but by those who cracked it, then I could fully enjoy a game that turns out to be pretty good. I love the RPGs that come out on Android since there can be some quite good ones but this practice just doesn't make me want to even bother buying it knowing it'll want me to do something I don't and thats waste data just to play a single player game.
Some might just say to me who care since it's supporting the devs but I do care since here in Australia its all about saving money not wasting it on useless things so if I buy a single player game then why should I have to be online to play it? if thats the case I might as well have bought a MMO since it does the same thing except it has a real reason to make me go online and use up my data, its seems like people expect you to have your Wifi, BT, 3G turned on all the time even when there is no point and i'm obsessed with my phone's battery life so I hate having to turn them on when i'm not using it for the purpose its meant to. I don't have to care since if they continue this practice then people will crack it for those who want to play an offline game surprisingly offline but it doesn't make me want to spend even 1$ on something that'll in the end make me waste 10$ for playing it.
