A terribly-controlling port of a 15 year old PS1 game that was 2nd of a like 30-game series named after a guy who's been dead for years? Christmas came early.

Don't drink and drive, kids. If this game really is the predecessor of the Dirt series, then its focus is on being as realistic as possible. I played Dirt 2 on the 360, and it's basically the Gran Turismo/Forza of rally racing games. It was hard enough to play with a joystick and analog triggers (I was only slightly better than whoever was playing in that video), so playing on an iPad sounds like a terrible idea.

Only played the tutorial battles so far, but I'm already delighted with Grand Battles Medieval for iPad. $5 well spent. There are some minor rough edges. I was able to accidentally dismiss a bunch of the tutorial messages as they popped up while I was panning around. The unit behaviour buttons (run/walk etc) on the unit portraits are TINY on a mini. Some aspects of the controls and units aren't fully explained at the start. Not deal breakers in any way. The good stuff really shines though. The battles run in real time, but tap any unit and the game pauses and you go into order mode. You can take all the time in the world to examine units, redeploy troops, and then hit the play button and watch the little soldiers go about their business. In order mode it's slightly further zoomed out, but in battle you can zoom all the way in and pan and tilt the camera to best view the action. It's very cinematic and it's like having a tabletop wargame come to life. The camera by the way, is exactly what the camera in XCOM should have been like on iPad. There's no multiplayer (despite a lingering reference to it in one of the menus) because they said on other platforms no one bothered to play it anyway. You can play campaigns as French or English, and there is a skirmish mode too. Troops level up, new equipment unlocks, and you can tweak your army composition to suit your style. Units rout, and get fatigued, and there is a rock/paper/scissors element to how the units interact. The graphics are lovely, and with a couple of hundred little soldiers swinging swords and firing arrows it's got enough eye candy to make even non-strategy fans give it a chance. I'll have to see what the campaign content is like to make a final judgement, but already I'm enamoured with just ordering little units of soldiers and knights around and watching them fight. 50% off for the first week. Recommend the strategy fans get on that. Trailer is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7DlUXOJ8Po Judging from the unit shadows that's footage from the PC/console version, which is a little naughty, but considering how hard it I'd to get people to buy niche strategy games at the best of time I'll let it go. Unit shadows aside, that is exactly how it looks and plays on iPad anyway. Parkingtigers fucked around with this message at 08:53 on Jun 27, 2013 |

 Layton Brothers: Mystery Room popped up. The prologue and first two cases are free with the rest being IAP.Wait a minute, where's the professor? What's this have to do with the Layton series? (It actually was an unrelated game that got rebranded into a Professor Layton spinoff.  )

You're enamoured with a basic RTS concept?? Jesus Christ is there a way for you to bottle up your childlike joy and wonder and sell it to world? I watched the trailer and now I don't even want anything further to do with this game because it gave me a drat headache with the lens flare transition every half a second.

Sad lions posted:Curve ain't so bad so long as you figure out that you can actually place more troops to help in the second battle (first proper battle). That's one of those weird little things that gets most people when starting out (me among them). Hahaha I did this in 7th grade and hated the game for two weeks because I couldn't beat the second battle. Didn't know pressing R2 would let me put down another troop!

Voodoo posted:It's not pay2win - it's more like pay-2-collect-all-of-the-pokemon-esq-monsters. Throw in a little gem-matching, some evolution/upgrade elements, and boom, you have a game that somehow just prints money. Yeah, I've been using it as a pooping game for the last month or so, logging in once a day to get my free poo poo and not paying a goddamned dime. I'm never going to be some crazy top-tier god player, but you sure as poo poo don't need to pay real money to progress in the game or get that basic "I evolved my crazy Japanese monster based on Judeo-Christian mythology" fix.

Richard Burns Rally was also out at the same time and made Colin McRae's difficulty look like a need for speed game. RBR is still one of my favorite racing sims to break out and crash repeatedly in (seriously, its hard). RBR also still has a pretty active mod community for the PC so it's also worth tracking down if you enjoy rally games.

It's also really good so far. The crime solving elements have been intriguing and a little challenging, even though these are the easiest cases in the game. It's more challenging than Phoenix Wright that's for sure. Dialog is enjoyable. There also seems to be a Hannibal like element to the game based on the second case. You get cases 3-9 for 5 bucks. That seems a really good deal honestly. theblackw0lf fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Jun 27, 2013 |

Hear my tale of woe, oh weary traveller. Today I bought both Hotline Miami and The Last of Us. Am I playing them? Am I gently caress, I'm punching alpacas because the alpaca god demands alpaca souls. Went all the way from first ending through to NG++. The second end form was particularly disturbing. I thought I was approaching the end. When suddenly I decided to click through the banner to look at a cute plush alpaca only to find this: https://itunes.apple.com/hk/app/arupakaniisan-biginzu/id661981800?mt=8 It's another alpaca punching game. All in moon language, but I know what it requires of me. I know the price. I don't know if this is in the stores on your side of the world. Pray that it is not, you don't want to be me. I'm now leaping from app to app in an eternal cycle of death and mutation and oh god the horror. THE HORROR.

Is this a sequel or prequel and does it keep with continuity of the first game? The plot is integral to the original so I'm worry the can't keep up with the story.

Also it was linked on this very page, like, two posts up. Here's the link again. https://itunes.apple.com/hk/app/arupakaniisan-biginzu/id661981800?mt=8 click that ^^ I picked the left option on the first evolution. I don't know what the difference is but now I'm a Sergeant Hatred-esque giant breasted alpaca beast that hugs lesser alpacas to death. edit: the first guy after choosing the left option was a regular bipedal alpaca with a crown. Hatred, here, is about two forms past that.  get Bummey fucked around with this message at 22:33 on Jun 27, 2013 |

My girlfriend and I are going on a trip tonight and will be having some downtime on the road. I was wondering if you guys could recommend a game or two that could be played on her Iphone and we could take turns playing against each other, something like chess maybe but with more fun visuals? My ipod got lost a while ago so i'm looking to get a new one in the future.
