So I saw that Sega games were on sale and felt like going on a Sega binge... I got Sonic 2, and it's incredible. The presentation, the graphics, the controls..... I always sucked at Sonic yet I played my best game ever on my first try (which admittedly means I cleared the third stage), and like an idiot I chose the option that doesn't save your progress. Since Sonic got such a neat makeover, I figured Space Harrier 2, an old favourite of mine, would have as well.... not the case. The game is so laggy, the music doesn't even play right and the game stutters.... So which Sega games got a makeover, just Sonic 1, 2 and CD?

HelloNewman posted:Does Final Fantasy Tactics allow you to save at any point in the game or do you have to play through every fight before being able to? You can only manually save after fights, but there is an auto-save that happens after every action. So you can close and the game and replay where you left off. But you can't really save scum every action.

Sonic 1, 2 and CD really are amazing. It's funny that arguably the best versions of these games are on iOS.

GTA SA seems like a great port for the most part but gently caress if there aren't some weird sound issues and the mission 'Sweet's girl' manages to crash the app every time. Anyone else getting these? I thought I'd be immune from the worst issues with an ipad 4 but apparently not.

I didn't have a problem with "Sweet's Girl" but I have experienced a lot of glitchy audio in cutscenes on my 5C. Hopefully they'll patch it soon; I just wish Apple would implement delta updates for apps because I don't want to download the entire 2 GB or whatever again.

omg chael crash posted:Yeah, I'm having the same exact issue on my Air. I think I found a little fix. The crashing for me seemed to happen every time I went to the mission straight from the safe house but if I went and drove somewhere else first (seemingly allowing Sweet's car to spawn) it seems to work okay. Still way more iffy than I'd like but at least I'm not stuck at the beginning of the game now. Got nothin' for the sound issues, though.

No idea if it's any good, but Trials Frontiers soft-launched in Canada last week: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/trials-frontier/id659283309?mt=8 Caveat: It's F2P and I'm not sure I can deal with a slapped on energy mechanic given the amount of frustration Trials can cause, but hey, free!

FIZ Chat: The easiest way to make money early is the seasonal marketplaces. The Surf Shack (Opens on M6, closes M9)will buy Lager at $25 a bottle. You can brew a single batch for 150+ bottles, sell at a huge profit each year. I try to brew my first Get off my Lawn Lager (The summery one) around M3 to have it in reserve for when M6 rolls around, then brew a second batch as soon as the first is done. It will sell out at Average price in under a month, usually. I was making 3k per batch each summer, which is nothing to sneeze at when you're pulling 200-300 in profits down per batch at the other marketplaces.

I've just recently gotten into the old infinity engine games (Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, etc), and I'm trying to see if there any iOS games that scratch that same itch. I've been trying Warhammer Quest, which is okay, but I'm trying to see if there's anything that's more than just hack & slash. Any recommendations?

Sock The Great posted:Does only one person need to buy the episodes for everyone to play? Yup, it is 2 separate apps actually. 1 person needs the actual game, which is the part you have to buy. Everyone who wants to play then downloads the free app that you use to buzz in and answer. I have the questions app on my ipad, then buzz in on my phone with everyone else. It's pretty well done, I would definitely recommend it.

Or maybe character transfer ability included in the IAP. Which is what caused the delay maybe?

That would be both insane if they were to try and make character importing an iAP, and it would also be trivially bypassed by the modding community if they tried to do so. I'm more inclined to believe that BG2 isn't out yet because Beamdog is fairly incompetent in terms of pushing out updates, especially when you consider that the bulk of the work done to fix bugs was done by the community years before the iPad even existed.

Kind of like when iOS Deus Ex had that hilarious anti-piracy by way of anti-jailbreak "feature". It didn't affect me and therefore I didn't really see it as anything but kind of hilarious but I could see how people were upset by it.

BG 1 EE is on sale right now - how high quality is the port? I've sunk hundreds of hours into BG2 on the PC, but for some reason never played BG1. Are the touch controls solid? Will I scream in frustration? Early reviews indicate bugs, but I assume they've ironed them out by now.

BG 1 is fine. The recent 1.2 update was supposed to fix a bunch of bugs, but I recall in the previous update one of the very first quests you could take in Candlekeep was broken and needed a community fix to make it work. If you can overlook that Beamdog are slow to integrate fixes and are even slower to push updates to the App Store, BG1 was a pretty satisfying port.

So is Space Hulk worth getting to play over Christmas? I heard that the £7 pricetag only gets you two missions and then it's another £7 to unlock more? Or was that just a wild exaggeration?

I don't know about the keychain stuff, but this can easily be done with iCloud, and it's even one of the intended purposes.

Tomb Raider 1 chat: Surprisingly playable with touch controls. Pretty much every complaint about the control scheme is a straight-up lift from the original, like the fact Lara handles like a barge. I did however lose loads of progress when I died looking for a blue diamond. It uses a quick-save you hit in the menu

monkeytennis posted:Cheers for the Fiz tips, not sure if I have the patience for it tbh! Going to take a looong time to make 10000 profit at the Slim Margin! I focused on lager improving equipment quality and eventually recipes. The summer shack is a godsend since it's a lager powerhouse. I'll make lager all year, stash 2 batches in storage with one coming online for summer then pump all three at ~$19 and watch it fly off the shelves. Got 3x $1k profit batches last year mostly get off my lawn lager. Does anyone know how recipe quality improves? I've noticed first batch tends to have lower qual that then improves. Also what's the best way to upgrade batch time after buying all the equipment for the garage, I'm hitting a production ceiling and the game isn't indicating how to break through just offering other beers and other markets.
