Handheld Lover lists reasons why traditional Handhelds and Consoles have a massive war against an enemy attacking on all fronts.
Despite No Man Sky's rocky launch, Hello Games managed to turn it into one of the best space exploration RPGs out there.
I hate the whole concept of "comeback story" because at the end of the day it doesn't remove the core issue we had in the first place, that we were lied to, it was disappointing and it launched with bare content to what was promised for years.
Any bad game can have a comeback story if it's supported enough after launch but for me if you launch in a terrible state then you had your chance. I can applaud you for what you've done after but at the end of the day there's not much of a choice since most gamers would blank your next product if you ditched your last game so fast, it's not about repairing the game but spending your time repairing gamers trust before you launch your next product otherwise it would be dead on arrival.
With these stories and the games being updated, the only way is up most of the time so of course it's going to improve the game and feel better over all, getting better and better as time passes. No Mans Sky, Sea of Thieves, Fallout 76 etc but then you have games like Anthem, Suicide Squad, Redfall and The Avengers where the devs just clearly moved on, now if they have another product people won't be as exited for it, I mean hell Guardians of the Galaxy was a great game but because of the Avengers it didn't help its sales since people were obviously still sour at that point.
I still think despite the improvements to games like No Mans Sky and Cyberpunk along with being better now overall the games are still not up there to what was promised and hyped as for years.
If we keep celebrating these “comeback stories” then unfortunately it only strongly supports the concept that these studios / publishers can continue to push half arsed broken products out for the sake of quick sales instead of waiting until they are fully finished. We need to condemn this awful behaviour or sadly we lose all voice and power as consumers.
I really enjoyed it at launch and had every trophy by August 2016.
The experience I had is no longer in the game: It was just me and my ship. It was a survival game and the feeling of loneliness in the universe was pervasive. There was no way to ruin too far from your ship and, in an emergency, you grenaded a hole in the ground to survive.
I miss that aspect, but since then, I love what they've done.

Hollow Knight: Silksong’s new collectible that succeeds the popular Grubs has the potential to deepen the mysteries of the new world.
Nobody who actually games cares much about Android/iOS gaming. Gaming on tablets and smartphones is mediocre due to a lack of input options - and what good games do make their way to the platform are few and far between.
Dedicated gaming consoles will never be replaced by Android/iOS; it's more likely that phones and tablets will be replaced by proper micro PCs - which then replace consoles.
Other than that, I don't see them going anywhere.
No it won't.
I hate say it but the article is right. We hardcore gamers are not the majority. Most gamers are casual players who are happy with simple cheap games. As far as sales neither Xbox or Playstation can compete with Android. If people can buy an tv hookup device that can play every game they've already bought on their phone then it'll really dig into the big two's pockets. Mobile games already have the vitas on a respirator.
Traditional games could get expensive to support.
Casual audience will always outweigh core gamer
Both casual and core own smartphones
Playstation mobile
Indie
we'll see as this gen starts next month.
There are too many apostrophes here....
There will always be a niche market for full-fledged, powerful consoles. Even handhelds have their enthusiasts. I do however believe that mobile gaming takes quite a sizable chunk out of the casual market. People who might have bought a less-expensive or last-gen console might instead switch to mobile gaming.
