TC, listen to Jason Kidd. But when you're walking after you do that 360, you have to make sure you step on that lame iPad.

No.

this, the dude isnt being snarky, mobile games are just that bad.

as for what to do with an ipad, it's basically a laptop that cannot do anything productive. you just use it for consuming media. so browsing social media, watching streaming media, listening to music, etc. personally i think tablets are kind of dumb but some people like em i guess

Anyone who says ipad doesn't have any good games is a complete idiot, an utter fool to be mocked, laughed at, and ignored.

For starters I would recommend at least checking out Roller Coaster Tycoon Classic and RCT3. Then there's Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic and Jade Empire. Lots of great stuff like Pinball Arcade, Trials Frontier, some Sega and Rockstar games, honestly it's all on your tastes.

I use mine for all kinds of things that I don't like doing on my phone, it's also a lot better for gaming.

Magazines are the best on ipad.

best games are tablets are ports of old console games like KOTOR that play far better on a typical controller or mouse + keyboard (touch controls are garbage), and a lot of them dont even get updated that frequently because not that many people buy them. for example final fantasy tactics on iOS doesnt even run properly on the new OS because Square Enix hasn't updated it in years.

I know Sega has been releasing a lot of genesis games for free but they have some pretty shitty f2p tactics. i tried Ristar, you have to watch a 30 second ad for a mobile game in order to save. I backed the fuck out of there and took the game off my phone immediately

my most frequent use my tablet is to read the news in the morning while i eat breakfast at the table. its the perfect size for that, doesn't take up too much space but it's large enough to read comfortably.

second most frequent use case is when i travel. its much nicer to watch a movie or play a game on a larger screen (compared to my phone).

sometimes when im playing vidya and i need a visual aid for something (like a map, or some other graphical information) i use the tablet if my phone screen isn't large enough.

My GF and I have been playing King's Raid. It's fun plus the chat seems pretty un-moderated so ridiculous things are constantly going by.
Other games:

Fire Emblem Heroes
Final fantasy Brave whatever. I am only playing it for the Nier stuff they have going right now. I just need 2B and A2.
Mini Day Z is fun but I am bad at it.
There are lots of games.

Even if you ignored the mobile ports there's still an ass load of serviceable games

Lol have fun trying to play KOTOR on a PC these days

Old PC games like that run terribly on a modern OS, the ipad version actually works. Same reason why RCT3 is a lot better on ipad than PC these days.

It's home to some of the best ports of the best games these days, games that are just terrible on PC these days due to age but are brought back to life on ipad. It's been great for that especially.

I used to think the same thing until I was issued an iPad by my job. Now I find it extremely useful for remote work because of its portability over a laptop, but that usefulness is entirely dependent on having the right set of tools. Remote Desktop app, OneDrive/Dropbox type cloud syncing, VPN, etc.

My iPad basically functions as a terminal allowing me to do all my work on remote machines.

iPads got me through college until I got a MacBook.

They're a lot more functional than one might think, although they're also just as good for media consumption

You can use a controller with an iPad. It's as usable as a switch.
