Speaking of Nonstop Knight, what are the best skills to use against the harder bosses? Right now I'm using Whirl with the rune that makes you take no damage, Slash and the healing clone. I time my whirl and slash so I don't take damage from the bosses. Anyone know of something that maybe works better?

Whirl - Shield
Slash - Dash
Clone - Mana

I use this once it starts getting hard. It seems like I can always push a few more floors after ascending, of course. But the easiest time I had with "impossible" bosses was with a cloak with really good defensive rolls.

Yeah, I know, but even if I was on the beta shouldn't I be on the same build as everyone else at this point? Did everyone on the beta click that link again, leave the beta program, uninstall TT and reinstall it again?

I'm sure this gets asked a million times, though I haven't seen it here (and I know goons will give it to me straight); I have an LG G4, and I'm guessing that there's still no way I could use a PS3 controller with it, via bluetooth, without rooting, right? Didn't this poo poo used to work before something like 4.4? Why would they remove that function? I know that I could buy one of those Google controllers, but I don't want one.

RS2 is very old school, with some unique mechanics.

The battle system is not simple and will require you to read gamefaqs to learn whats going on.

Overall don't expect FF, RS is its own genre and is very different.

In Tiny Tower, if I Rebuild at 50 floors, get a golden ticket, then start a new tower and build to 50 floors again will I get another golden ticket or do I have to build 100 floors to get the second one?

They are only additive, if you rebuild to 50 10 times you would have 10 tickets by the end.

Romancing Saga 2 owns but like the other guy said it's a very very different beast from Final Fantasy. It's completely non-linear almost from the get-go so expect to follow a guide to figure out what to do next since the game stops giving you hints on available quests very early

I still can't understand the draw of this when you lose all your dream job bitizens and elevator upgrades. I mean, it's obviously possible to work your way back to where you were before. The game does shower you in bux as long as you boot it up a few times a day and click ads (but double lol if you bought bux and still do this). But still 50 floors is like a month or two of playing and the tradeoff of all that for getting a single moderately useful golden ticket just doesn't seem worth it.

I don't know if this came up at some point and I missed it, but I noticed today that Dragon Quest III actually boots properly on both of my devices, no ObbStateCode: 21 error to be found. Previously it would not start on my phone at all, even with the "just keep relaunching it until it works" trick.

I played the original on the SNES, and it was a pretty fun game. My biggest gripe was that you can't get too far ahead of your allies, or else they get stuck against a tree or something, and the screen won't let you NOT have you and your allies on screen at all times.

I can't comment on the quality of the port, but the game itself isn't bad.

A couple of small questions about Sky Force:

1) has anyone found any parts for the planes in the upper- and lower-right corners?

2) I'm only missing the cards specifically for stage 5 and the last one. Does anyone have any insights on where to find these two? I know some people have found the stage 5 one, but it sounded pretty random.

I'm pretty sure the cards are entirely random. Just pick a level you can complete reliably and play it a bunch.

I also don't have any parts for those planes but they seem to unlock in some kind of order (in groups of 2-3 planes at a time, but with parts dropping in random order within those groups) so I was assuming they would start once I completed the current ones. I think I have five unlocked currently, plus the original: speed, health, rescue speed, max firepower, card drop rate.

KoP&P2 was pretty mediocre. It has been a while since I played (I bought it day one). I just recall that once you played the first hour you have played the entire game. There wasn't much to unlock and you unlocked it all fairly early. And the class synergy just wasn't what the first game had.

Edit: I read some of the in store reviews. Apparently there was DLC that was pretty good and I think the bundle includes the DLC.
