I need an actions game that is preferably not a platformer or endless runner? Maybe a space ship game? I dunno. First suggestion is the one I will buy so long as it is reasonably priced.

I like Aaaaaaaaaaa (not sure if that is the right number of as) which is a game about falling; Radiant which is like Galaga with cool music; Minotron which is a weird dual stick shooter; and lastly the classic Arkanoid.

Nope. EA bought Origin in 1992, Roberts left ~4 years later. That means EA bankrolled WC3 and 4 - neither would have been possible without that money. :getin:

On the one hand I really hate that their mobile strategy is "take franchise, make it F2P" but how much money did they make from Tapped Out?

also honesty compels me to admit I have like 40 unplayed games sitting on my phone so I can't really muster up a lot of hate on this one. So many other fish in the sea, etc.

I want a Syndicate mobile game, though. C'mon, EA, give that franchise another shot.

The initial grind of infinitely re-rolling is loving awful, but really, Puzzle and Dragon is great for this.

Until you're skipping work meetings because that one dungeon that comes up 3 hours a month for 3 non-continuous hours pops up. Like today.

You can run Pengdra Village several times in the time it takes to poop. It's very blitz friendly.

I'd suggest not rolling outside of a godfest unless you feel really lucky. The last godfest would've been a good one to roll on. If we get an Egyptian/whatever godfest anyone on the fence should roll during it even if you don't play for another 6 months. Get an Isis (or Horus) and you're set until endgame because they're beasts. Same with a lot of the Chinese gods, but Isis is probably the single best starter a person could ever hope for, followed by Archangel Lucifer.


This is perfect for people who like Tiny Wings but regret the fact that there was never a poorly made Sonic version.

e: oh cool they even made some Grumpy Cat games that look to be on par with Gangam Style Massacre (sadly the title is misleading and you don't play as Psy the serial killer).

I am not sure what the trigger is, but you eventually get the option to research orange floors. It seems that your tenants give you new research options sporadically. A lot of the text gets cut off for me in portrait mode, so I am not sure exactly what it is linked to.

It took me awhile to figure out that putting down new floors let me build separate rooms. I figured it was a research option I hadn't unlocked yet.

The tutorial is 5 stages and the (lovely) drops in them are predetermined in order to teach you about elements and power ups. When we mean reroll we mean the Rare Egg Machine at the very end of the tutorial which you're forced to use.

There is vengeance to be dealt, Marc Spector. And you have not lost your taste for such things. Have you?
How do you re-roll? Just quit the app after you hatch your egg, then you get to do the tutorial again?

I may have to bite on this, eventually.

Yeah but you have to reinstall it or use ifile to delete your save data. I lucked out with a good starter the other week and the game is TONS of fun honestly.

So I just got an iPhone after using Android phones for a few years. I guess they don't allow emulators on these? I saw that it might be possible to have certain emulators without jailbreaking the phone, I'm mainly interested in GBA and SNES, but others are welcome if they exist. Anyone know anything about it?

The Dave
Sep 9, 2003

There are none you can get without being jailbroken, and you can't currently jailbreak if you're running firmware 6.1.3 and above.

Sometimes someone will sneak out an app that has a hidden emulator in it, then it's a rush to download it before apple removes it from the store.

Yeah, just keep mashing F5 on this thread and eventually you'll get an emulator.. I have both MAME and a GBA one installed right now and it's all due to this thread.

They seem to sneak through the approval process about once a year.

I've played a lot longer than that but the drat thing keeps crashing, so maybe that's loving up the timer. Doesn't matter, anyway, since every time I accept a friend request the game crashes and the friend approval isn't saved. :downsgun:

Do not roll outside of a godfest unless you are a glutton for punishment. The odds of getting a god, let alone a useful one, outside of Godfests is going to be low as gently caress.

Info on how to reroll is in the PAD thread. If you're using iOS just use iFunBox to delete the relevant file (data048 I think).

I was using the events to level, especially today. Legendary Dragon Rush on Master gives better xp per stamina than any dungeons I have available, and it was going well until the game decided i wasn't allowed to get anymore hearts. :argh:

I think the odds are of a god are about 1/10 normally and only about 1/10 of the gods are good enough to be your leader for majority of the game (the rest are good teammates, but without a good leader you are sunk). Durning a Godfest odds 1/3 of rolls are a god and during the right god fest you can get odds of 1/2 to 1/4 for a good leader.

Thanks for the link. I can't have it on my ipad as the game needs a camera with autofocus for some reason. So I tried my phone but it will only let me purchase apps via the UK store.
