I've got both too, and find myself using my Air less and less these days in favour of the iPad (Mini). My Air's a couple of years old now, but it tends to get hot and fire the fans up the moment anything resembling a game is on screen.

retro sexual posted:4,49 € - Warhammer Quest Yup. You get 4 characters in the base game, and you can buy three other types and take any four into battle. The Hidden Threat is an extra campaign featuring Skaven. I've heard muttering that the base game has about 15 hours of content, and it's about 25 hours in total with the expansion. But, Internet rumours, so that that with the usual mountain of salt.

A computer is hands down a better gaming machine, but the iPad is definitely better a mobile entertainment/gaming device. I love my MacBook and all, but if I'm sitting down on the couch or in bed to play a game, I always reach for my iPad. At least for me, it's just much more convenient and comfortable than even a small laptop. Definitely a pretty subjective thing, though.

The amount of IAP is a bit distasteful, but hey, Games Workshop It is in the tutorial. FreakyZoid posted:Since you keep saying this - Hero Quest was the result of a license with MB games (it was made by one of MB's designers) and wasn't just released in the states. 6 years later when the contract with MB ran out (and also post-Advanced Hero Quest) GW did their own remake of it as Warhammer Quest. So HQ isn't really a bastardized version, it's the grandaddy of WQ. Huh, we'll I stand corrected. I had always been told previously that hero quest was GW bringing Warhammer Quest out of the UK and was the lovely version.

Yeah, it's definitely a comfort over games library decision for me. There are times when I want to play "deeper" games, but I'll go to my desk and play on my PC. When I'm on the sofa/in bed it's more of a casual thing that I'll dip in and out of while watching TV. I guess I'm just getting older, that this type of interaction is far more common these days. I only really use my Air for coding and photo organising now, pretty much everything else that I used to use the laptop for can be done on the iPad.

Kepa posted:Might do a Harvest Moon/Animal Crossing thing later. If the next game is successful we're planning on churning out shitloads of action-adventure games. I've wanted to take a stab at a Harvest Moon style game for awhile now, and it would fit into this plan well. That would be fantastic, I hope you'll be able to do it! I think the first thing I looked for when I got an iPhone was a Harvest Moon a-like, and Animal Crossing is something I think would translate well to phones. Combing the two, and being able to check it frequently would be so so good.

Also Kepa, if you make a competent Harvest Moon and/or Animal Crossing clone then son you better put in a donate button of some kind because I will throw a lot of money at you.

Ah gently caress, the text speed in Phoenix Wright is still that horrible crawl? Why the hell don't they include an option to disable that poo poo, everyone I know who plays this game hates the text speed. I really want to play it again in HD but I just... I really, really can't face Moe again without skippable text. Not again. Never again. Maybe I can get someone to iFunbox me a completed save file or something later.  e. Seriously gently caress Moe.

Feel my tiny rage, developers! Requiring ios6 for no good reason!  My poor ipad is stuck on 5.1.1 until we can retire support for 5. So now I have to borrow coworkers' ipads to play Warhammer. (PS You're throwing away 5% of your user base OR MORE!)

They really need to fix the extra spawning in Warhammer. My ranged dudes are still level 1 beacuse the game decided to surround them in dudes that all instantly get to attack them near the end of a dungeon. There's no way to predict or prepare for it and you can even get extra enemies when fighting an encounter in a room. At the very least let the dudes who died get half xp.

Corridor posted:e. Seriously gently caress Moe. gently caress Moe. The first game is a 5 star all-time classic. Game two in the series is a solid 3 star. It lost marks for three reasons: the translation while still good had a ton of typos, the new music wasn't quite as good, and loving Moe. I put off playing game three for a long time because of that clown.

Parkingtigers posted:gently caress Moe. I might be alone in saying this but you need to get on 3 if you haven't already. Personally that was my favourite for music. The cross examination tune was vaguely eerie and set the tone pretty well since it's the only one in the first three games to have a major running plotline behind all the cases (other than just character development, I mean). Also it has a hell of a climax to the last case (even bringing back the 'Cornered' music from the first game). Also comparable in length to the first game (maybe longer, I'm not sure since I remember both their last cases being really freakin long).

Justice for All sucks. The only good episode is the last one. The only reason why I trudged right through JFA is for continuity purposes for Trials and Tribulations (which is the best in the AA series).

So, here's how to fast forward through text in Phoenix Wright HD, doesn't matter if you've read it or not: hold your thumb down over where the little play button appears, the one that advances text normally. Looks like it's more like a text skip function, but there you go. Still doesn't make up for the black borders and such, I guess. I don't think I'll mind playing through it again this way. (EDIT) I guess I probably should've read the app description, since I didn't realize that was even a thing until someone posted about it in the thread. I figured it out by just trying stuff until something worked, I'll admit. Jack Van Burace fucked around with this message at 17:13 on May 30, 2013 |

There's no way to predict or prepare for it and you can even get extra enemies when fighting an encounter in a room. Which as I recall is exactly how the tabletop version went. If you rolled a 1 on the winds of power die (aka the screw you die), you got boned by having no magic power and a random encounter as well.

All of y'all hatin' on Phoenix Wright are straight up wrong, objectively. They are The Best games. There is nothing wrong with them. If you cry like a babby because the text is slow or some clown laughs at you or a large French man wears a pink tutu and challenges your concept of masculinity then I don't know what to say. The fault is yours and yours alone. Play Ace Attorney. Love it. Find a new joy in life. Or don't and be a terrible human being.

I've had KOTOR sitting on Steam for years, and I might actually play it on my iPad. Make sure if you a playing for the first time that you pick the soldier class. I was bitching about this in another thread, but the other classes are completely useless. Other team members can do the out of combat stuff, so if your main character sucks at combat then you lose quest and each battle is a long boring drag. Also try not to level up too much on the first planet, that will also gimp your character.
