To be fair, the game itself is fun as gently caress, and while I haven't played this port a lot of goons were happy with the game when it came out, even with those reasonable complaints.

Bought it, played it here and there, then lost interest because the base game isn't that great. If you have the time and no other options, it's a decent JRPG

I'm not enough of a sperg to care about portrait versus landscape, lack of voice acting on a mobile platform or suboptimal fps rates, but if those things bug you, stay away

I almost made the mistake of buying Knights of Pen and Paper 2 before reading up on it. Basically it would seem that it's not really a sequel and has way less content than the first game. :confused:

Yeah, 10 crates isn't any big deal. I had more trouble with the freeze three enemies one later on. Though perhaps that was to my own doing because I waited until I had three freeze spells rather than risk freezing one and hoping it stayed active long enough to get to the next mob.

Anyone find any secret guys in #ymbab? I unlocked a purple guy with a shield in front of it by killing it with magic. Not sure if there's anything else.

Garden Lady just upgrades a few rooms to look nicer I believe.

And yes, I unlocked all bestiary monsters. Which ones do you want or should I just post them all?

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
So am i supposed to be able to visit previous areas in #ymbab? (i.e. going back to the pyramid)

I assume it's supposed to be selectable in the place where you choose to go for a run on the boat but i don't have the option.

Also, is there a place to see my overall stats? I can only seem to see my weapon damage % while i'm upgrading the weapon.

Sorry for mentioning surveys again, but holy poo poo, FINALLY I got another one, it's been something like over a month since I last answered one. Anyway, it was actually my first 'location based' survey, which they explained beforehand. Are they finally going to be make this sort of thing regular in Canada? I know people in the States get these surveys all the time, but this was definitely the first time where my visit to Tim Horton's was relevant.

Rated only 3 stars because the staff sucked that day. :colbert:

I've never had a location-based survey ask me to rate anything before. The standard template seems to be "When was the last time you visited [x location I was at an hour ago]?" followed by "How did you get there?" where the options are "walking," "driving," "biking," or "public transportation." Occasionally I'll also be asked to pick out where I've been recently from a list and then asked no followup questions.

Do you really get those the same day you visit the location? Mine always seem to be two days later.

Same here, and I worry a little since I often can't remember the exact day I last went to the grocery store. For gently caress's sake, Google, I go there like 3 times a week!

And of course right after I post that, I get my first location survey with a rating.

I just got a survey asking about airlines I'd flown on this year. 60p. My last flight was in March so it probably wasn't targeted.

I'm actually tempted to buy a PSX copy of FFT and rig up a phone emulator with one of those fan translation patches. When I looked on Ebay the other day, there were decent copies shipping for less than the price of the app...

Just keep playing and stop back home now and then to upgrade. Then once you're upgraded enough, if you're still having trouble drink the less danger cocktail at the bar. The first game was similar, you'd hit a seemingly insurmountable challenge, then you'd get a half dozen upgrades and it was a piece of cake

Nice. I don't see any way to filter out certain ones so it's not very useful. I wonder who is policing the ratings. I figured everyone would just mark their apps as Everybody or Teen, but Modern Combat 5 is indeed rated Mature.

You (in the Play dev console) have to answer a series of questions and then it works out the ratings in each region. So you get asked "does the app contain violence" and then if you say yes you get follow up questions like "is the violence graphic" and "is violence the primary goal of the app" and stuff like that. Same for drugs, sex, etc, and then a few other things like whether user locations are shared and whether users can communicate directly.

I believe Apple have also implemented the same system.

Hitman sniper is great.. it's approachable and easy enough where you aren't adjusting for windage and gravity,
The missions are designed to be challenging enough to make it so each mission isn't a cake walk.
You need to think about who you want to shoot when to stay stealthy
You often need to do other things like get 400,000 points before killing the main target.
Honestly it's well worth the money either in actual money or cis het scum surveybux.
