If I wanted to play a SimCity clone on a 2013 Moto X, which would be a good one? Is the actual SimCity any good, or would I be better sticking with something like Megapolis?

I know i'm probably going to get punched for this, but are there any games that are basically clones of Gwent from Witcher 3? Googling seems to reveal a ton of interest but only one browser based attempt that was shut down by CDPR.

I noticed a massive difference by putting google maps on when I head into town. Dunno if my phone just turns the location stuff off when idle or something, but I seem to get a lot more surveys this way. Also my wife gets about twice as many surveys as me just because she drives to work past a retail park

Just saw an advert on facebook for a brain training app, but predictably when looking it up it turned out to be as bad as facebook ads usually are. It did make me realise that I would like a decent brain training game, so any recommendations? Ad supported or pay up front, don't really mind.

Am I missing something with Cthulhu Realms? I mean I love me some Cthulhu mythos, but man is the game ridiculously complicated. I just tried the tutorial and the point where it leaves you and tells you you should be able to win on my own, I was staring in bafflement at the cards unable to piece anything together.

Does anyone know of any games that are like Space Wolf but without the card bollocks? Basically I like the turn based stuff, I like the idea of a line of sight boardgame on my phone, I just hate that the weapons are single use cards that are a nightmare to upgrade - the whole game would make so much more sense if the cards were relocated to a dressup doll equip screen and in game movement / damage / cone of sight is based on what you have equipped. Anyway. Anything like that? Pseudo boardgames, turn based, equipment screen, that sort of thing. Doesn't have to be sci-fi or in the 40k universe.

Kheldarn posted:Is there a derivitive of Pixel Dungeon that doesn't have hunger? That game mechanic has never appealed to me. One of them was called easy pixel dungeon or something, but last time I tried it, it started interrupting me mid game with full screen ads, trying to run in the background so it could launch popups and constantly sending me weird notifications. This was a few years ago though, so I don't think android even allows stuff like that on the store any more.

I'm confused by this pre-reg: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ludia.dnd Now I love me some D&D. But in the blurb, there are two sections that seem at odds with each other: quote:Warriors of Waterdeep offers a monthly subscription at USD $19.99. But then at the end: quote:Please note: Warriors of Waterdeep is completely free to play but offers some game items for purchase with real money. Not sure which is which. Is it f2p or subscription? What does the subscription offer, apart from the exciting opportunity to donate $20 a month to the devs?

So I thought I was beginning to understand Buriedbornes a bit, and then it asked me if I wanted to be inducted in the Hall of Karma, and I thought that sounded cool, and I didn't realise that meant leaving my current dungeon and fighting in the Hall of Karma, and I tried to quit and that deleted my best mage so far. So that's my buriedbornes story so far, if you liked it slam those like and subscribe buttons i love it

For me it was getting four levels in, getting smashed by everything and having that merchant shoved in my face so I could buy new gear. Maybe I'm just getting socialist in my old age but I don't appreciate being squeezed right off the bat about MTX. The difficulty curve is horrific and there doesn't seem to be any variety in the equipment, so you can't even specialise your roles. Your tank will get flattened, your cleric takes too long to recover their healing spell and once both of those are down, your mage can't deal enough outright dps to delete the enemies before they flatten them. No meaningful variety in the levels, very little sense of progression. Move or attack is a terrible system that slows the fights to a crawl. E: also I couldn't see any way of spending the gold earned in mission on anything except upgrades, so if you can't get gloves / boots to drop, you're always short on those stats.

I know the missus prefers the PC version because of the mods (particularly the time manipulation, tractor and label mods), but every time she tries to play it it takes an hour or two of updating windows, steam, SMAPI and the various mods by which time she's gotten bored and started playing Borderlands 2 on the PS4.

They still pay around 10-20 cents each for those. Because of this I'm pretty sure I've been penalised for 'lying' and lost surveys for a while for being careful and saying no to places I merely walked past but didn't go into (in case it didn't ask the follow up questions), but the GPS knew I was there (and probably even stopped outside for a few seconds to catch a pokemon).

Rupert Buttermilk posted:My point was that, normally (especially with your specs), you should be able to quit and restart whenever. I think maybe because you were doing it on a day during an event, that might've had some sort of effect on it? The festivals are like one, day long action and if you quit halfway you have to do it again from the start. Most people use this to cheese the harvest festival because there's a chance of getting some really rare seeds from the roulette table, so people just reset if they don't get them.

I'm at floor 22, level 75ish warrior and bricking it because this is the furthest I've ever managed to get. Mostly thanks to shield conversion and lucking out on abilities (double attack, protection, robust revenge and angel light, as well as a weapon that gives me 5 barriers and 2k shields). The wiki says if you hit floor 25 you unlock other dungeons, so I just need to survive a few more floors...

Why the gently caress is Gwent not on phones. E: When they announced the standalone version I was so loving hyped, and then absolutely baffled when the brought it out on Steam / consoles instead of mobile. They could be printing themselves money right now if they'd just convert it. There are very few games I would unquestioningly pay for on mobile, but standalone Gwent is one.

I got the real world gwent decks, and the only way it's playable is if you choose which deck (northern, nilfgaard etc) and then deal out 30 random cards from it. If you treat it like a deck builder it's a complete shitshow. Honestly I liked Gwent ingame because you could overpower the AI that much. There's something very therapeutic about some good old fashioned compstomping. Bobby Deluxe fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Jul 8, 2019 |

Mighty Quest for Epic Loot came out today, pretty fun diablo-alike. The first chapter and a half are frustratingly tutorial locked so you have to just persevere, but I found it was throwing rewards and achievements at me at a reasonable pace. It looks like it has plenty of ways to upgrade your gear, so should be fun.

Mighty Quest is fun, but the deeper I go the more it looks like typical mobile fare. The main difference is that the typical 'level up a 1 star hero then ascend it to 2 stars' stuff applies to your gear instead. You get a free epic pull as part of the tutorial which goes a long way to boosting your stats, along with the day 1 cultist pants gift. The problem I have is that I don't know how important the elements are for armour. I'm hoping it's only a minor amount and it's not some monster hunter poo poo where I have to keep a bunch of armour sets maintained to survive. So far I have water, fire and a couple of nature items mix and matched. Nothing on the items stats offers any help, and the wiki is no help because it seems to apply to a weird beta version of it from 2005 when it was combined with a dungeon keeper castle attack mode, and the gear worked completely different.

explosivo posted:Yes. Yes it was. It seemed like it had some neat ideas but the F2P hooks were there even back then and after a half hour of loving around with it I realized it's just not worth playing. I'm surprised to hear they didn't flat out abandon this game to be honest. Oh, and the elements on gear seem to be related purely to three weekly dungeons that you can only attempt with a full set of armour of that element. Said googling also led me to the bizarre world of /r/gachagaming which is 50% people posting about how bad it is and horror stories about people spending thousands of dollars, and the other 50% of people who are into that genre posting oblivious to the rage and hate and looking for recommendations. It's bizarre. It's like watching two different subreddits going on in the same space with neither interracting.

Kabuki Shipoopi posted:Sidenote: anyone have T-Mobile that could recommend a decent phone for gaming they provide that isn't going to run me $700+ dollars? I know most of the Samsung phones will run just about anything, but I was just wondering if anyone knew of some lesser known phones they offer that are decent to game on. For example, OnePlus phones are pretty great, the 7 & 7T are currently out and they're talking about the 8, so if you can find anywhere still doing the 6 or 6T, they should be pretty cheap. My 6 has been able to confidently handle most newer games, and the fast charger is really good. My wife talked me into upgrading because she wanted to play Blades, so she got the 6T and I got the 6 because it's only slightly less powerful and still has a headphone jack.

explosivo posted:There's an ad for this game that I've only ever seen in Egg Inc that honestly feels like it's generated by one of those AI bots that make Youtube videos. I suspect that the people behind it are getting ad referral bonuses for clickthrough and installation, so they've gone balls to the wall to manipulate kids into installing, even if they install the game and then never play it. Or maybe it points you toward a malware infested clone of a game, or points you to a game which aggressively tricks kids into buying MTX, which they get a cut of. The one I see a lot is a guy in armour who is trapped in a box, and it looks like the player has to pull out pins to either flood his part of the level with water, lava or treasure. Only as you say, it seems like the person 'playing' the ad deliberately gets it wrong. I suspect that it's to tweak your empathy and at the same time make the viewer think that they could do it better. I'll admit there have been a few times that I've seen the ad and found myself trying to work out the 'right' way to do it, and then feeling mildly frustrated enough to want to install it and have a go myself. Which is then immediately overwritten by my internet sense which is screaming TRAP at me.

Vulpes posted:even though when you download the game and find it's literally an entirely different genre, you probably won't stick around. But like anything on the internet, if like 1% of people decide to hang around and play the 'real' game, it's still worth it. You get paid to display ads, sure. But you get paid a shitload more if you can get people to click on the ads. If you can get someone to fulfil an action on the other side of the ad (i.e. buy from the store, install the app or pay for a subscription), the referral code kicks in and you get a LOT more money. At no point was I in contact with any of the sites I was scraping galleries from, I just applied through ccbill, plugged my number into the link they gave me, and linked it to the preview images hoping someone would click on one. Entirely automated and anyone can get in on it. So what I think is happening is that these ads aren't even being designed by the makers of the game, they're designed by a third party who is getting referral money whenever someone clicks through and installs it. Basically youtube bot farms have worked out how to monetise gaming ads, so it's not going to be long until they get into weird feedback loops and we start seeing spiderman / elsa poo poo.
