mrkillboy posted:Halfbrick have a new puzzle game out called Bears vs Art. The game itself is pretty cool but all the F2P stuff kind of ruins it. The F2P stuff on Bears Vs Art is a bit overwhelming, yeah. I'm being sold energy, skill points, coins, VIP status, and cash-only equipment, and it doesn't seem intuitive as to what feeds into what. Checking out the new kairosoft game. It hasn't always worked out, but they've got a decent enough batting average that I'll bite day one.

If I'm looking for final fantasy tactics clone I should kill myself? That was quick, bye thread. But seriously I'll eventually look through your suggestions and all but if there is one genre of actual gaming that could work in a phone is tactics stuff. I don't care for most of it but I love disgaea to the bone.

SpaceGoatFarts posted:You want a DS emulator + Disgaea DS / FFTA / FFTA2 I wonder how well a ds emulator would play on my phone. Those touch d-pads are way too clunky, even for turn-based games. By the way, I don't really want a tactics game on my phone that badly, I was just commenting on how weird it is that there is no game like it on phones. I mean, it's weird until you see that there is practically no "real game" on phones. I just played hoplite that people talk so much about and it's just yet another game that is better described as a puzzle just like 95% of phone games library. Meh.

I gathered from the thread that Drastic is a pretty good DS emulator that works and controls well. I don't think it was a bad suggestion. Also there certainly are real games on android but of course it depends on your taste. You like tactical combats for example and it happens that Shadowrun : Dragonfall is on sale just now: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.harebrainedschemes.dragonfall&hl=en There are tons of equally good games out there. People usually mention hoplite and pixel dungeon because they are polished poopbreak games, but there's much more than that if your thing is longer more complex games.

Does dragonfall have the debug mode the PC version does? I played the non-directirs cut a few times and don't really want to have to work at seeing the new content. I just want to blow through combat.

I did get shadowrun, and it seems to be pretty sweet, I just don't play it as much because it's kind of though to just jump in, and play 10 minutes of it. The only game that I really liked playing on the phone so far was stone soup dungeon crawl despite of the clunkyness. And say what you want about taste, but if you don't like puzzle games you're poo poo out of luck with android.

I don't really go out too much, just stay at home with the kid, and I was getting frustrated because I'd get a survey literally every five weeks and I'm not exactly in bumblefuck nowhere. Then they asked me to take a picture of my living room floor. A couple weeks later they asked some questions about cleaning products that I use on the floor. Then over the last month I was bombarded with questions about what type of floor was in each room of my house and how often I cleaned them. Now I've started getting questions about how often I cook. So I guess you really just have to luck into a demographic they want to learn more about

Yeah, I guess so. Obviously, I answer the surveys truthfully, because if they DO decide they're interested in hearing from a 30-something white, middle-class Canadian father who has a background in audio, I'm their guy. I did once look up a logo/company name so I could answer a question correctly in order to continue the survey. I have been tempted in the past to just come up with bullshit, but since I have no idea what they're looking for most of the time, it's not worth it.

They'll call you out on your poo poo sometimes if you give them crap answers that they've extrapolated from previous answers. I try to be as honest as possible.

I just bought Dragonfall, and it's fun so far. I'm not too good at this type of game, but I like them, and I love the Shadowrun setting. Too bad it's based in the 2050s and not the 2070s...

Really puts a giant "gently caress you" touch on the end. At least in the regular non-directors cut version

To be honest it's such a small amount of money anyway, it's not even worth going too far out of my way just to get the have you been here? questions. But there's something compelling about making a bit of fun money for answering questions about myself.

Does Not Commute is pretty fun. You basically play against yourself as you try to drive a bunch of little cars to their destinations within a time limit and semi-simultaneously. All the cars have cute little interconnecting bios. You can play through the whole game for free, but throw in a couple of bucks to enable checkpoints/gently caress yourself into a corner. It heats my phone up to like a million degrees, so it's probably also good for people with cold hands.

I used to get surveys all the time because I work next to a Target but Google seemed to have wised up to it and I stopped getting them. I do work across the street from a Sprint store however and occasionally I'll get a survey asking me if I've been there recently.

How big is Broken Age, in terms of file size? I just refunded it when I was told it was too big even after clearing out a bunch of games I don't play anymore. I'd like to give it a shot but I don't know how much space I need to empty. Alternatively, is there a way to coax the Google Play store to install on an SD card? I have tons of space on my phone, just not much internal storage left.

Everything is really simplified, you don't really have to know anything about motorsport to enjoy the game.

On mobile, you have to "click more" on the description them scroll to the bottom. According to Google play, it's 1.82GB. That's fairly huge.

You can buy the same currency you'd otherwise earn by playing the game. Considering earning the money for upgrades and whatnot is literally like half the point of the game I don't see why you ever would. The option to buy the money is also surprisingly well hidden.
