Shwqa posted:Nah whatever company owns the TCG is just going to buy Nintendo with all the money they are going to make. Then someone who isn't scared of decades old technology can run Nintendo. Nintendo's been making money hand over fist in mobile gaming for the last ~30 years. They aren't in any rush to risk canabalizing the 3DS or start giving Apple 30% of their profits.

It's estimated they have enough money to operate for 25 years on a loss.

For content: the dev for Motorsport Manager confirmed on the tweeter that his app passed review and he's just arranging some reviews before it gets released. Hoping that means next week. He did assure me if it passed review it would be out before Aug was done.

Quick New Star Soccer kvetches, on my second career: * Whatever algorithm assigns the postgame ratings is an rear end. The fans don't care whether your teammates won't move an inch to collect your header, if they line up for your centering pass one millimeter from a defender obviously blocking their route to the goal, or if it gives you nothing but sharp-angle header shots with a defender already on top of you and no teammates in sight; if your teammates give up soft goals and you tie or lose, you take the blame from one or more groups. * The ads... good lord. This is the single most annoying bit of nagware I've ever seen. Granted, it's only a buck to remove that, but if you don't you can look forward to can't-skip videos for the same games over and over and over again, sometimes several times in a row between consecutive games. * Is there any upside to a girlfriend in this game? It's one more attention source to feed and she'll get you in trouble at intervals.

delfin posted:Quick New Star Soccer kvetches, on my second career: And yup, the game doesn't give two shits about whether you were dealt a hard or easy hand. That's pretty realistic for real life fans and pundits too, to be honest. Girlfriend, nope, not really. It will bring your happiness up, but I have no idea if that impacts anything. Basically you want to avoid girls until you're already the best player in the world, otherwise she will stunt your development. New Star Soccer = Most realistic soccer/life simulator In other news I tried a no-IAP career to see what the huff was about. Only one season in, but the progress is pretty similar to the IAP agent/trainer/boots careers I've done. Skills are 50% maxed after one season (except Free Kicks), which means skill decay would have to go absolutely nuts to become a problem. The biggest difference is that without the IAP Trainer, you have to play games at Low effort (1 heart) instead of Medium, which gives fewer chances and punishes you harder for making mistakes. If I was to recommend one IAP to invest in, it would be the trainer. Another 25% energy after every match is absolutely huge. It's silly cheap anyway for the amount of entertainment this game offers, so I'd still get trainer/agent/boots.

Godus. Ugh. Left on a trip to a place where I don't have a solid internet connection and decided to download a game before I left. Chose this one without reading up on it and it turns out it requires to be constantly connected. Is there an actual reason for this (the ~~Clooooouud~~), or is it just some DRM fuckery?

Looked back several pages and didn't see anything like this: are there any recent RPGs outside of the major franchise ports (FF, Dragon Quest, etc.) worth playing? I'm super out of the loop on this stuff.

Continuing the CYOA chat I have to recommed This is not a test for iOS. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/this-is-not-test-survival/id681453732?mt=8 I'll elaborate later when not phone posting, but suffice to say I like the replay value (I think there are random events and it rewards exploration), the presentation, the post apoc setting and the price $1.

Make sure you can kill the minions and then stay the gently caress away from his blue circle of instant death. Edit: I'm away from my iPad but from memory I used. Enrage, song of valor, the paladin buff, blood magic, with creeping poison. My passives were 10% extra dot, 10% more damage to undead, 50% extra magical critical damage, 5% life steal, 10% faster cool down. And I had extra critical damage mage robes, and 2 50% extra critical damage accessories. I used cyclone to handle the minions. Shwqa fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Aug 18, 2014 |

Yeah level 8-15 are definitely the worst part of the game. Make sure to pick up +exp and life steal accessorys. They help out a bunch. Don't ignore buffs, they are extremely useful even without using DOT. Also if you are going rogue, use stealth to rush to the end high level dungeon and get high level items early.

I might be doing a game day thing for the after school program I work at. My new boss wants to find some more uses for the school's iPads. Now I need to find some iOS games that would be good for 2-6th graders. Something that has network play or could be played on a single iPad. No Minecraft though. That didn't end well.

Spaceteam may be too advanced for that age group as far as reading level goes. I'd say like 30% of the 7-9 graders I've tried to get to play it find "omnichronometer" and similar words totally unpronounceable in the heat of the moment. Though they do fine with symbol mode, ironically. It would be great if it works because you could have space team competitions.

For games that are more about interaction and less screen-time-ish, there's Heads Up, Fingle, Bounden, and probably some others. There's also Ready Steady Bang and King of Opera for same screen multiplayer.

I don't think 2nd graders can handle any of that kind of stuff. Your best bet is going into the kids section on the App store and browsing some of that stuff.

For kids 7 and above I would recommend Plants versus zombies 2- its free and kids get bored easy. Tiny thief - it is a clever and cute adventure game Ticket to ride - board games are always fun Space team- team building and encourage sounding out words. Plus it is free. Above all just don't get anything too grindy. You want them doing stuff not just playing some lovely free to play game that just has them pressing a button and sitting back (which is the games I like  )
