Why iOS Games are So Terrible

When I first got my iPod Touch however many years ago it was now I had a $25 iTunes gift card. Since obviously music doesn't cost that much *anything* I ended up spending all of it on game apps. Bejeweled, Angry Birds, Jetpack Joyride, and several others that are just popular for a week, go on sale, and then everyone realizes they are the same crap.

iOS games are truly to the point where I don't want to play them, or bother with them anymore. They are saturated with copy after copy of about 5 games that made it and nothing original. Same old puzzle games mixed around to copy Angry Birds in some way, TONS and I mean TONS of Tower Defense games, and of course total crap based on nothing more than something like a popular Youtube video.

Next in line another game based on some sort of TV show just thrown together to make a few bucks because the show is popular. This time it is Duck Dynasty. Have a read about this utter piece of rubbish:

The game, available at Apple's App Store for iPhone (99 cents) and iPad ($1.99), promises to transform players from "yuppies into rednecks" by mimicking the daily rituals of Louisiana's Robertson clan, proprietors of the Duck Commander business.

Players hunt squirrels and ducks, blow up beaver dams, toss doughnuts into Uncle Si's mouth and compete in other challenges. At each stage, they can progress from clean-shaven "yuppie" avatars, complete with Bluetooth headsets, to long-bearded backwoods boys with bandannas and sunglasses. source


I'm sure several people will need a personal injury attorney in san diego after realizing they paid anything for such a piece of garbage. Of course they probably do it every single day on there and facepalm so often that they have a dent in their forehead. Quit buying this trash. Make these hacks earn their money and give games worth buying you fools.
