People can use Bluetooth enabled stuff already-- its just a catch 22 of "are enough potential customers using controllers that it would be worth designing a big title around" for devs and "are there enough games that I want to play that support iOS controllers to make buying one worth it" for consumers. I'm not convinced that an official controller would solve this (unless it was like, a pack-in with the next iPad or something) so that's why I'm kind of skeptical despite the rumors

I leave you guys alone for like half a year, come back and the main derail is still buttons suck, no they don't, yes they do. *walks slowly backwards and disappears in to the night*

Are there any cheeky over the top action games? Something with tons of explosions and would make Quentin Tarantino proud.

The Rokstar posted:Yeah that's the thing. I would theoretically buy an iOS game controller, but there would need to be support for it out there. Gameloft has a controller sold in Apple stores but it only works with their games. Apple could help matters by implementing a standard controller support method so developers don't keep having to do it themselves from scratch.

There's a jailbreak app that shows PSX buttons on your screen. You drag/resize them over the shity dual joystick or whatever config the game has and you can then use your Ps3 controller via Bluetooth to play it. Don't know the tweak but it's cool.

Edge Extended It's an isometric action puzzler with its own soundtrack and crisp visuals. The game isn't really long, but the entire experience is loving sweet. The last few levels are pretty big mind benders.

Goat Up 2 is really rad. It's the newest Jeff Minter game and probably his best for IOS. I wish there were a way to download people's levels, though. Maybe there is and I haven't figured out how?

SuperHappy posted:When I finally got the Trout for "Fire & Ice", I found out I spent the Bear on one of the other missions. I've spent the last three days trying to find another one I got my trout right at the beginning of the game, and it behaves the same as all the other animals. So I get to watch groups of trout frolicking joyfully through my tiny forests. e: Haha, there's a newsfeed story... "Utopia HQ welcomes new employees, while animal disappearances are on the rise. Utopia HQ states there is no cause for concern." Another, "Researchers undertaking studies to ascertain why aquatic creatures flock to trees. Results inconclusive."

Well. Waking Mars was and amazing experience until I managed to lose all the plants in that water chamber that turned acidic land to fertile land and exasperated, went into the next chamber and dropped a stalactite on the only plant that makes floaty seed pods and so there's probably no way to get the full amount of biomass. Also I didn't learn any of the names of things. I didn't realise that until right then. Anyway, bought and downloaded The Room and have a 12 train journey tonight from the highlands of Sri Lanka to the capital Colombo so I know what I'll be doing. Which is playing it for twenty minutes and then eating all my snacks in a Cookie Monster style feeding frenzy that showers the world in ginger biscuit and maggi noodle crumbs and then stare out into the darkness for eleven and a half hours, haunted by my past.

Has anyone had a chance to check out Knights and Dragons? It seems like a standard castle builder with arena fighting but the game seems to focus around armor types. As you salvage old armor and upgrade to newer versions it changes the paper doll look which I think it pretty awesome. If anyone would like to start playing feel free to add my Friend code. You can call on your friends list once a day to help with some quests. Friend Code: XBB-RQB-CFX

Why couldn't he have implemented a way to download the levels from the app? Hopefully Llamasoft updates the game with new levels at least. The level editor is really cool and so is the gameplay.

MacGyvers_Mullet posted:"everyone agreed it was a good game." You're clearly confusing the SA SimCity thread with some other forum. Are you talking about the ex-SimCity 4 dev that posted in the thread a couple times like a month before release? As far as I know nobody from SimCity ever posted and that thread is almost nothing but people talking about how god awful the game is. It was sarcasm. Since it's a Games forum tradition to have posters fall over game developers who post in SA threads. edit: For the record I was in the beta for Nimble Quest, got the regular one and bought IAP, like I have for their other games since I like them. I just like observing posters behaviors. v  v I even bought Jones on Fire IAP so don't probate me!

Trustworthy posted:I think it's fairly deep and meaty for what it is. I certainly haven't played anything in iOS that's come anywhere close to scratching this particular itch. Here are some random bits and pieces... Awesome write-up and I'm going to give it a try. Those kind of "the journey of building up to badass motherfucker is the fun of the game, then you are too powerful and get bored" games I really enjoy, even though obviously once I hit that point, I tend to quit too. Thanks! Also posting to say I finally started playing Hunters 2 and it's a really solid tactical RPG. The story elements they added on top of the Hunters 1 formula actually work pretty well. bloodychill fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Apr 1, 2013 |

When you say the second red gem, you mean the one behind the hidden tree path? Or the one in the underground slime pit? One is to the west of the weird inaccessible tower, and one is to the east of it.

100 HOGS AGREE posted:I just got to the final boss. God drat it Fairune, this is bullshit. If you don't know already, there is a shield booster I can tell you the location of. If you go back to the lava area, head one space up from the healing area and walk behind the left side of the staircase there. If you're level 25 you might be able to kill the enemies, but otherwise just avoid them and go for the file that has the 'S' on it. This should halve the damage you take from the final boss

Can anyone give me a hand with renaming the wrestlers in Wrestling revolution? I can get some of the obvious ones like Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Undertaker but my wrestling knowledge isn't good enough to recognise some of them. Or else I see two characters who look similar to one wrestler.
