You also have to take into account any extra data the game may generate, download, or cache through the course of regular use.

That makes sense. I must have just not noticed in the past because I have never seen a game that takes up that much space before.

Yeah, like in Walking Dead's case it's actually downloading the content from the additional IAP episodes as you purchase them -- so you can expect a "complete" version of that game to take up a LOT more space than your initial download (that only includes episode 1) does. Some initial assets are surely reused but the dialogue & stuff probably accounts for the bulk of it.

Parkingtigers posted:Their Twitter feed OS worth a look, as they post regular tips giving insights into how the game plays. So much of that game is fairly inscrutable so it's like a random extended tutorial. Also the art periodically goes on sale on the creator's etsy store, so you can worry about a plague while you worry about a plague!

Not to say the the other people are wrong for finding it boring, but I really like Nimble Quest. It's one of the few action/puzzle games I play frequently. I also like TT and PP because they just let me kill 2 minutes every now and then, and you can do pretty much everything without spending money if you really don't want to. I'm really hanging out for Tiny Trains or whatever it is, and I don't even care about trains. On that note, are there any other games that are similarly reasonable with their IAP? Pixel People is alright (gently caress the RNG though), and Happy Street was fine before the Facebook requirements were implemented (still better than most IAP games). I threw a few bucks at them to support the devs, but I never felt like I needed to.

What's the best iOS Tetris experience? I have the original version that launched the same day as the App Store and its slow and clunky, but I guess the new version is riddled with iap bullshit according to the reviews? I've been in a Tetris mood but gently caress that.

You don't need to worry about save files, a really large/complex save should only be a few megs. The bigger issue is when an app downloads art assets post-install. I think one of the Zanga games did it, or some franchised tie-in like Simpsons; the initial download was sub-50mb to get under the 3G download limit, but on first launch it would fetch a few hundred extra mb of art files.

I'm really hanging out for Tiny Trains or whatever it is, and I don't even care about trains. I have been having fun with puzzles and dragons. All you really need is one great leader and you won't need IAP. So basically you just keeping making accounts until your free chance is a great leader. It is a boring as hell to do that but after that it is a very long deep fun game. Also since I started about 2 weeks ago I have got about 30+ dollars worth premium currency for free. Which I used to get basically get any unit I could need from the slot machine. Shwqa fucked around with this message at 10:36 on Jul 17, 2013 |

Puzzle n Dragons is ok, but it depends mostly on being lucky when you start the game. Be like me and have lovely leaders even after 50 gems (free event), and you'll really struggle. You can try 'reset marathon' and keep doing tutorials (and reset the game if poo poo one pops up) until you get Odin or other good leaders, then you're pretty much sorted from early level though. Otherwise you'll have to depend on your friends to do almost all technical dungeons.

Deus Ex seems pretty decent. It seems like one of the more inspired efforts to bring a console/pc series to iOS. Dumbest enemies I have ever seen in a game though.

Just got an update that claims improved enemy AI behavior. And also "removed the restriction on weapon firing which affected certain devices" I beat the game last night. They left it wide open for more content so I expects in app DLC episodes. I enjoyed what was there and probably would pay for more content since they suckered me in.

You are part of the problem. I bought the game before I even knew about any issues on jailbroken devices and I don't currently even use a jailbroken device. Am I supposed to feel guilty cause I bought a game in a series I happen to be a fan of? Plus the bad press was enough to make them patch it anyway. That might not be because the jailbreak community is so large and buys games often, but because they like to be very vocal about it when they god given right to jailbreak is infringed upon.

Couldn't a jailbroken person have reverted their jailbreak for the duration they wanted to play the game? Anyway despite my sarcasm it is good to see that Square Enix can be shamed into not being such control freaks with their current releases even if it'll never be retroactive to past releases.

Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded is finally out on the appstore for $4.99 if anyone was waiting on it. http://appshopper.com/games/leisure-suit-larry-reloaded I have it on Steam, but I'd say it's worth five bucks if you want to play it on the go. Edit: I also bought Deus Ex before stuff came out.

Hey guys, I have a bit of a problem. I installed the GBA emulator posted earlier and it worked fine. Then I installed the updated version someone else posted, and it worked even better. I got curious and saw that there were other emulators that could be installed in a similar fashion, so I tried to install a Gameboy Color one cause there was an old GB game I wanted to play. After attempting to install it, it tried to re-write itself over the GBA emulator and then the installation failed. The gba emulator was ruined, so I deleted it and tried to install it again. Ever since then, when I try to install it doesn't make two icons anymore when trying to install, it just creates one icon, installs, and right before the end it gives me an error message. I even tried installing it from itunes on my computer and sending to my phone through the wire but it still gives me an error message after syncing. Does anyone have any clue as to how I could possibly fix this? The GBC emulator clearly screwed something up on my phone Edit: google gave me this page. Ah well, it was fun while it laste Duro fucked around with this message at 21:33 on Jul 17, 2013 |

You are part of the problem. Except if you jailbreak like me, you install ExCon and skip this whole mess. If you jailbreak you should be comfortable Googling for 10 seconds like I did. I agree it's lovely, but lets get angry at actual problems. E: Jailbreaking a device shouldn't be treated like a vanilla device, and as such people shouldn't complain. IMO obviously.

I keep hearing that if you're on the fence for starting to just wait until a god event, does that basically save you the hassle of making new accounts or is it a matter of getting shitloads of awesome stuff easily early on? Also how's the monster trading in it (if there's any)?
