Why must we play these games!!! [Dramatic Game......talk(....not really a review....but...y'know)][The King Of Fighters-A 2012]

Time, like urine, needs to be passed. People often engage in activities they enjoy....for enjoyment. Many people, me among them, play games on their PCs, Consoles or phones. Now I recently acquired the game King of Fighters a-2012 for my phone (the a standing for android- the iPhone version in called i-2012). Now as I begun the game, hoping for a rush of nostalgia from days of old when I used to frequent KOF 1998's and KOF 2000's (or at least emulate them due to lack of availability), I noticed that what I was feeling wasn't just nostalgia. It was pure delight. (I'm not kissing the game's ass, as you'll see in a minute)

The game was incredibly beautifully animated. The screenshots had done it no justice, although screenshots I too have uploaded. The pure fluid motion was exhilarating. So much so that I just went into practice mode and looked at the simple "stand animations" of the different characters. This was one of the most beautifully animated fighting game I had ever seen on any console, let alone mobile. Just to expand on that, I downloaded a sprite sheet of one of the protagonists (Kyo) to discover 1,484 beautifully detailed sprites for a single character. It was all of the fast paced KOF fighting I remembered but with beautiful, smooth, heavenly graphics. But then, alas, as I started playing the game, disaster struck. Every few moves (those beautifully animated, smooth, moves), the game froze up completely prompting me to quit to my homescreen. I tried closing every app, removing every widget from my homescreen, even clearing the ram thorough the default task manager just in order to free up some ram, but even so, the game kept freezing after a few (beautiful) moves. I went back to the Google Play store just to confirm what I had read before I downloaded this game, and yes, it claimed to be compatible with a phone much more primitive than mine. Yet with my phone, it froze up every time. So, it wasn't that my phone wasn't able to handle it, SNK was just too goddamn lazy to optimize it for my phone. Must SNK be such a heartless bitch? Rhetorically, Yes. To have me taste such a beautiful game before snatching it from my hands, SNK is evil, like a combination of Hitler and Voldemort. Hitlermort.....no, Vol..voler? Voldemorter? I should've probably thought about what I was going to write before I started typing....oh well, Voldemorter it is then. Still I ripped the apk and the obb just hoping they release and update in the future that will fix this game and make it operable on my phone.

Damn you Snk, Capcom and everyone involved for making such a beautiful game that seems to hate my phone in particular. So, if you're planning to get this game, make sure you test it within 15 minutes (or whatever the time limit is for a refund) because it may not work properly on your device.
