    Weird bashing going on in this thread. So I’ll make some counter points

    While art is subjective I will argue that their modern art direction is far superior to their early years.

    This art direction is far more expressive, there is so much more room to play with this “looser” feel. As an artist you probably want your art to be able to express what you feel. There is also much better color theory and each panel feels more grounded and complete.

    As for “their art got really dark”. No … the scene is just dark… there is glow coming from the monitor… If you mean tonally dark I disagree because penny arcade has had tonally dark elements since the rain slick precipice of darkness (and probably even before that, idk I’ve not read their entire lexicon)

    P.S. yall realize that artists tend to improve over time right?

    I literally don’t care for the “android had x features n years ago, therefore android is better” argument

    It’s not just about features. It’s literally the ENTIRE experience that’s better.

    iOS is significantly more user friendly than android. It just FEELS better.

    I personally find android to be clunky and jagged. I’m a developer I do software and I’ve developed for both android and iOS. Android is nicer with app deployment and side loading (though that is changing). iPhone is more restrictive. But for me in terms of every day use. I’m choosing the iPhone.
