You like it? I thought it was pretty perfect.

it's pretty good! i didn't mind playing through it again even though i had been through it once before, so that's a definite plus. also, the music in the menu screens reminds me a lot of final fantasy tactics, so there are subliminal good vibes there as well.

_yeah, i'm having the same problem. i still haven't beaten it yet, but i've gotten close and i assume others (mordy!) will annihilate it. during my last runthrough, i ran into strange issues with the AI. in some cases the crew was choosing to grab resources from the opposite side of the base even though there were available resources steps away. that obviously wasted a lot of time, especially when it came to replacing dead crew members. i didn't really notice that issue the first time through - hopefully it's not something that commonly occurs._

This is very frustrating. Prioritising rooms helped. Have accomplished first two goals. No interest in going for 45 minute research as stress would be too much. I love the snappy start up time. If only more of them did that!

I missed it by 1:21. Blasted minions!

you need an option to build a fucking school where they learn *how to read a fucking map*. there was one in particular in my last abortive attempt who seemed to treat the alien invasion klaxon as an invitation to have a stroll round, maybe explore a couple of interesting hitherto undiscovered banlieus, pop to its old manor for a cup of tea, loiter uncertainly on corners etc.

I suppose they are made of sludge tho.

Fizzles, Saturday, 17 August 2013 06:54 (ten years ago) link

in fact I have some sympathy with the aliens, trying to nip this colony of congenital idiots in the bud before they infest the universe with their long-winded and purblind meanderings.

Done. 1:09 to spare. Wave 11. Crap animation at the end but now can relax when replaying.

Madden 25 for iOS launches today!

Lee626, Tuesday, 27 August 2013 20:27 (ten years ago) link

yet another console/PC game that doesn't translate well to an iPad

Lee626, Tuesday, 27 August 2013 21:56 (ten years ago) link

That really isn't the issue here though.

polyphonic, Tuesday, 27 August 2013 21:57 (ten years ago) link

Madden 25 for the console is also supposed to be pretty bad, and also the games are completely different.

polyphonic, Tuesday, 27 August 2013 22:03 (ten years ago) link

not right thread but: is there a good Madden for console right now? I have 07, was thinking maybe something newer would be good, don't care about being up to date really, but maybe 07 is as good as I need then?

Euler, Tuesday, 27 August 2013 22:38 (ten years ago) link

Hmm, I may be wrong about the new one. Gamespot didn't like it but the other reviews are fairly good:

Pro tip for those waiting for lives in Candy Crush, move your phones clock ahead by a few hours. (Not sure how they let that one slip by, and even less sure why despite being so obvious it's only just occurred to me.)

tsrobodo, Tuesday, 27 August 2013 23:03 (ten years ago) link

i have now beat "hard" and "harder" in super hexagon, but can only manage 12 seconds on "hardest".

candy crush level 65 makes me want to throw my phone in the fucking river

http://toucharcade.com/2013/09/04/a-snes-emulator-snuck-on-the-app-store-via-remote-file-manager/
fully functional dropbox viewer that also coincidentally runs SNES roms when you load them through the program via ftp, only 99 cents and available now on iOS
get it before they close the door

(works great btw)

that just looks really uncomfortable tbh (as do all iPhone emulators)

i'm playing on ipad btw

Don't understand it but bought it anyway.

I'm at a fantasy draft, but try me. Should be self-evident. Playing Earthbound!

I'm playing EarthBound too!! Though I'm halfway through the game on my laptop and cannot figure out how to load a save state I've got on my computer :(

giant boulder death guys! adultswim so you know its good

868-HACK!

roguelike/puzzle game. very simple (almost elegantly so) design

http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPad/868-Hack/review.asp?c=53545

Z S, Friday, 6 September 2013 13:35 (ten years ago) link

looks amazing but $6?!

Mordy , Friday, 6 September 2013 23:08 (ten years ago) link

Just buy it. ZS approved.

Jeff, Friday, 6 September 2013 23:19 (ten years ago) link

No, don't!

Z S, Friday, 6 September 2013 23:34 (ten years ago) link

I mean, it's a lot of fun but I think there's going to be an updated windows/Mac version soon! I think there may be a free version of it out there already. Of course I didn't learn this until after I had already bought the iOS version...

Z S, Friday, 6 September 2013 23:36 (ten years ago) link

I bought it and I'm going to LOVE it. Once I play it.

Jeff, Saturday, 7 September 2013 00:01 (ten years ago) link

giant boulder of death is somewhat obsessive

that f'ing soundtrack. why do you do this to me.

Fizzles, Saturday, 7 September 2013 09:25 (ten years ago) link

gbod is driving me nuts now. Can't make it past 48000 points, and can make it to the third invinciboulder maybe 25% of the time, but never to the fourth one. the difficulty ramps up really sharply.

on 42,000. just half a minute on the x10 wd be fine.

Fizzles, Saturday, 7 September 2013 15:13 (ten years ago) link

Has ilxor got a similar type of thread for Android games?

groovypanda, Monday, 9 September 2013 12:22 (ten years ago) link

android games - are they all terrible

groovypanda, Tuesday, 10 September 2013 09:33 (ten years ago) link

Had one great/lucky GBOD run to 150,000+ points that puts me in the 500s overall in the leaderboards, and i still feel like i'm terrible at this game.

868-HACK is fucking great, worth ten times the price imo

scream blahula scream (govern yourself accordingly), Tuesday, 10 September 2013 20:01 (ten years ago) link

i've been so addicted. my top score is 62 points for a single run. the balance between going for points and going for completion is so delicate!
