you don't need pro to play online
― john terje (cozen), Sunday, 12 February 2012 09:11 (twelve years ago) link
lol, stupid me. basically i didn't have any "play online" thing so i thought i had to have pro. whereas it turns out i can nvr play online cos i don't have game center compatibility. anyone know if there's a legit reason why game center isn't available on iphone 3g or is it just one thing to make me feel like i shd upgrade?

but it's hard to figure out what i'm doing wrong when i trade a card worth 10 in 4x and keep getting other 10 value cards back
infuriatingly otm.
also i was down to the last two with a lot of ground to catch up, got four yanivs in a row which never happens, then on the fifth which would've got me the crown, the bastard assafed me and won instead.
itt yr 'exciting' yaniv stories.

i bought the full version of yaniv and ticket to ride. I'm josephcotten on gamecenter.
― polyphonic, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 00:12 (twelve years ago) link
I love ticket to ride but it really doesn't suit asynch multiplayer. Getting most fun from single player against the cpu really.
― JimD, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 21:02 (twelve years ago) link
ticket to ride looks great but the screen seems soooo small for a game like that. want ipad version.
― the jazz zinger (s1ocki), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 21:03 (twelve years ago) link
is it even available for iphone? i thought it was ipad only.
― tmi but (Z S), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 21:21 (twelve years ago) link
i'd check myself but all game-related content is blocked at work :(
... but i can still do google searches. and it is! sorry, stream of conscience thing here

im digging it
― the jazz zinger (s1ocki), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 21:33 (twelve years ago) link
its like JAZZ
yeah, jim otm - asynch just slows it right down. the fun of ttr is that it's fairly fast-paced, even with 4 or 5
works fine on the small screen once you get used to it; better on ipad of course.

GTAIII is 99 cents this weekend.
Also enjoying Puzzlejuice and Radballs, but the aesthetics of the latter are actually more the point than the gameplay
― Spleen of Hearts (kingfish), Saturday, 18 February 2012 17:39 (twelve years ago) link
Chinatown Wars is US$0.99 too

Yaniv feels pretty luck-based, the number of offensive options you have is pretty limited... am I wrong?
― Nhex, Saturday, 18 February 2012 22:38 (twelve years ago) link
It's a card game. Of course it's luck based.
That said, sometimes the best thing you can do is trade small cards for big cards that help you make a straight, and sometimes it's good to spend a joker to help get rid of cards. And also, pay attention to what cards your opponents are drawing.

hate YANIV
10s ALWAYS swapped for J K Q
great thanks YANIV

I've figured that with jokers there's really no reason to hang on to them til the end is there? It makes no diff to yr score if you have them or not. Also it took me a game or two to realize that it's v dumb to use jokers to make pairs...
― I have one thing to say: "Roxanne Shanté" (Stevie D(eux)), Sunday, 19 February 2012 02:00 (twelve years ago) link
ya you have to be pretty careful with jokers... better to have one in the hand than to drop it for no reason (and give it to the next guy) just to 'get rid of a card.'
― the jazz zinger (s1ocki), Sunday, 19 February 2012 06:41 (twelve years ago) link
i actually find they're useful to make it seem like you have more in the hand and thus ASSAF fools
Oh man, heavy sales still going on. Might buy FIFA 12, too.
Can anybody suggest a good tycoon/econ sim along the likes of what Kairosoft does? I like building and running this little system of something in a phone. SimCity is too clunky.

i want a new iphone game what should i get

How about Kairosoft's own Oh! Edo Towns or Mega Mall Story?
― polyphonic, Monday, 20 February 2012 18:53 (twelve years ago) link
Have any of y'all played Hero Academy? It's pretty cool.

I buy all Kairosoft games the minute I see them on the app store, so I've already beaten those.

chocolate tycoon is supposed to be good but I don't like how it looks.

Any old-school hex-grid, turn-based war games out there? Digging up info on the Avalon Hill Starship Troopers game made me feel nostalgic.
― Stockhausen's Ekranoplan Quartet (Elvis Telecom), Monday, 20 February 2012 22:01 (twelve years ago) link
^seconding this request. A hex game would totally hit the spot
― tmi but (Z S), Monday, 20 February 2012 22:08 (twelve years ago) link
You guys might like Greed Corp. It is hex based but with a twist.
― polyphonic, Monday, 20 February 2012 22:09 (twelve years ago) link
Oh but it might be ipad only, not sure.
― polyphonic, Monday, 20 February 2012 22:11 (twelve years ago) link
I still play Strategery a bunch, a kinda old, very stripped down hexy Risk-ish war game.
― Euler, Monday, 20 February 2012 22:12 (twelve years ago) link
Steam's offering GreedCorp to me on a PC game list.
― Also unknown as Zora (Surfing At Work), Monday, 20 February 2012 22:12 (twelve years ago) link
For me Greed Corp is a little too fancy and maybe too cartoony. But it appears to be a fairly deep and interesting game. I played through the training mode and was like "hmm, cool, back to Skyrim."
― polyphonic, Monday, 20 February 2012 22:16 (twelve years ago) link
Man, I have zero desire for an iPad except to play games on it
― tmi but (Z S), Monday, 20 February 2012 22:18 (twelve years ago) link
Ironically my iPad goes everywhere with me and I can't find a game I'm interested in.

Big Little War Game is pretty simple compared to AH/SPI fare, and has been described as the iOS version of Advance Wars for the Game Boy. I like it, but will reserve my love for a whomever ports the Combat Mission tactical WWII PC games are ported.
