Just chiming in with a little CoH gameplay talk: gently caress fighting undead in that game. That is some overpowered bullshit that can kiss my rear end.

This is my first time playing through CoH and this may be blasphemy but I'd much rather just fight then deal with the story. The actual math three gameplay is seriously a blast.

Makes you really appreciate the devs that know what they're doing with ui/design/menus/interface. Polish is probably the most important iOS gaming factor for me nowadays (since all the games are basically the same anyway).

What's the deal with Kairosoft? They're basically the only games I ever play on my phone and I noticed they haven't released anything in about three months.

Well you can get Beastie Bay for free by signing up for a Japanese apple account, download beastie bay, and boom! It's in English because your device is English.

1) On your computer open itunes 2) Change your itunes store nationality to Japan 3) Search Kairosoft, Download Beastie Bay (Make sure you're not logged into any account) 4) Sign up for a fake japanese account 4a) Just google "Japanese Zip-Code" and put whatever else you want for the rest of the information 5) On your iDevice sign into your japanese account, download Beastie Bay 6) Play your fake-pokemon/city-builder sim. It's pretty fun.

For the four of you that don't read Toucharcade or have the app installed, it seems a mame emulator has sneaked onto the appstore again. Grab it before it's gone! http://appshopper.com/games/gridlee http://toucharcade.com/2013/01/26/mame-is-back-in-the-app-store-for-now-with-gridlee/

It's the same emulator that snuck on the app store the last three times, too. You'd think if Apple didn't want it there, they'd stop approving it. This one even admits its running on the emulator. It would have taken the reviewer a few seconds to pop in and see if the ROM file was easily accessible or replaceable. For that matter, though, why doesn't Apple just allow emulators in the first place? One would assume it to be a piracy-prevention thing, but then it's pretty obvious, looking through the app store, that they don't give any number of fucks about anyone else's IP but their own.

What's a good file manager to use with iMame? iExplore doesn't turn anything up in the app store. Edit: Oh, I guess it's a PC app. I was hoping for something that could integrate with Dropbox on the iPad.

Emulation honestly does not work well on the iPhone screen. I was excited to try it too but gently caress imagine when all iOS games had virtual joysticks, but worse.

This one even admits its running on the emulator. It would have taken the reviewer a few seconds to pop in and see if the ROM file was easily accessible or replaceable. They were fairly clever tbh, you have to run it once before you can start copying files across to it. It extracts the correct mame structure during the first run into the documents folder inside the game, then you need to copy some roms into that newly created roms folder. Until then it's completely transparent it's a mame emulator if you hadn't paid attention to the descriptive text but as soon as it sees extra files in the roms folder it opens out into the mame emulator. I can see how it sneaked past approval, especially considering how lazy they are e.g.Pokemon Yellow etc. As for the emu, it's the most recent update, a mate who had the last one says this one completely kills the old one with the extra options it has inside it etc. Shame it's not got the wiimote + classic controller support the jailbroken version has, that would be a thing of beauty. As for file transfer tools http://itools.hk/cms/webpage31.htm has just replaced iExplorer on my pc, it's much better/faster etc. Fazana fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Jan 26, 2013 |

Grabbed this, curious to see how it runs even though I'll probably not use it beyond the novelty check. It's taking forever to download though.

Any have recommendations for something similar to The Room? I liked how it wasn't just brute-force tapping and you actually had to use your head most of the time. Nothing was frustratingly difficult either. Lovely game. Anything else like it that isn't the usual aimed-at-mothers hidden treasure type thing?

So I downloaded New Star Soccer or whatever it's called after reading a few positive remarks in this thread, and paid to unlock the career mode. Question: Is this game deliberately slow at the beginning? I seem to be earning gently caress all from matches, and it seems very hard to progress in career mode unless every opportunity you have to influence the outcome of the game goes perfectly. Do I need to shell out on some more IAP/coin packs to get the ball rolling/make this game more playable? I like it in theory, but right now it's more irritating than anything else.

No, IAP isn't necessary. Work on getting your stats up and improving your relations with your teammates (more opportunities) and you'll start rolling.

So Beastie Bay is partially a town builder (like Dungeon village) but instead of uncontrolled NPCs running around it's a monster catch/raise/fight game like pokemon and you actually get to play (and explore a world?) instead of watch the AI play and fight stuff?

Picked up Zombie Block Party the other day and immediately went on a rampage against everything that wandered within range of whatever ordinance I could afford. Currently have just under a thousand zombies killed and my loud shooting spree continues to draw them in from every direction. I seem to be arming up slightly faster than they approach but it's starting to get a little hairy. Went to the store a couple miles down the road a few minutes ago and expected to run into a huge shitstorm but nope, apparently they've all left that area and are headed straight to my house. If I hold out for another 200 kills or so then I'll have grenades and an AK47 and the hunters I planted will switch over to armed, so I'll probably be able to hold this ground against anything at that point. Of course when I go to University on Monday none of that will probably matter. I'm not sure there's any strategy I can use to survive that, but I'll take as many with me as I can when the time comes.

ZBP is a GPS game? If it weren't for the fact that I only have an iPod, and need WiFi for any kind of connectivity, I might have to get this... then again, I'm going to Disney World in a month, and they have free WiFi in the parks and hotels...

Yep. So I've counted 7 distinct zombie players sending hordes at me from different angles (or at least they're close enough that their hordes are hearing me and wandering in on their own). The worst is the guy who's actually waiting until they get close and then popping frenzy and lurk on them. I've managed not to die yet so I'm not really sure how the mechanics work on the zombie side but it seems like he's doing it on purpose anyway. The golf course 2 blocks down is completely overrun with around 300+ that I can count and several lurked stacks so who knows how many in reality? Another 80 kills or so and I'll have enough to buy that AK and start raining death on the whole lot of em.

I want to get into ZBP, but it seems like there's only one "spot" near my house, and it's got so many zombies I just get flattened if I try and attack it. Since I'm on wifi, the GPS just gets the same spot no matter what, so I can't escape an invasion and I just die. Maybe it sucks less if you can snipe and run, I don't know. How far do you have to move to escape being surrounded?

So a few days back everyone was posting about being super excited about Clash of Heroes and I decided to grab it. Funny thing, when I searched for it the closest match I could find was Clash of Clans. After checking out the screens / descriptions I decided that it was probably the game everyone was talking about and grabbed it and started playing. After about 5 minutes I thought to myself "really, this is game that SA loves? It seems like a cool idea but goddamn I'm still in the tutorial and the IAP is just being shoved down my loving throat." I lasted a few more days before realizing that Clash of Heroes just wasn't out yet, and the game I was playing really was a piece of poo poo. It's a shame cuz I think the idea behind Clash of Clans is pretty cool and really appeals to me but goddamn, it's the worst IAP whorish game I've ever played.

How far do you have to move to escape being surrounded? I think each address is a discrete location so as long as it registers you as being at a different address then you've escaped. I haven't tested that out much since I'm mostly fighting from a stationary position at this point, but based on the targeting system that seems right. If there really is such a huge horde at your location (I'm assuming a 100+ stack on your address?), then buy grenades. They're pretty cheap and kill 25% of the zombies on your address and each zombie killed is 5 credits. So, one or 2 'nades and you'd get back all your credits and thin out your spot by a significant amount. Take a few tries coming back as a hunter and you'll be able to clear the spot and train a sentry fairly soon. Not sure how much fun it'd be overall if you don't bring you ipad and connect to the wifi when you go out to restaurants and other areas, though.

A note on CoH: I played up to the first boss in the first campaign (the one with flaming walls) and had some trouble beating it, lost the fight twice. I saved, exited the game, and came back to it a few hours later. When I loaded up the save, the cutscene/dialog following the fight started immediately. I definitely didn't beat the encounter, and think I didn't get any XP for it, though I did get the reward in the chest at the scene. Has this happened to anyone else, should I just keep going, could I have missed out on scripted rewards or something?

The exploration is done via progress meter, exactly like you see in Dungeon Village story. Once a battle starts, though, you actually control it like a turn-based RPG. Its closer to DQM than Pokemon, in all honesty, but either way it's pretty cool.

They're permanently lurking or whatever so I can't see how many it is. But now I can apparently snipe the ones across the street with a rifle without drawing aggro so I'm just collecting my free 5 credits every 20 seconds while I watch tv.

Zombie Block Party sounds really interesting but it's not out in the UK app store. I'm guessing that even with account fuckery if I manage to download it, no one else will have it and so it won't be worth playing?

I think if no players are near you it throws some bots on the map nearby so you're not hosed. I doubt my two neighbors six miles from the nearest town just happen to have it, but there's a zombie hive right next to me.
