Psylent - I really enjoyed GP story and it was more interesting than game dev story (at least to me.)

Now I'm in the same boat, looking for something similar without the building placement aspects that are plaguing other kairo soft games and without lovely 'buy money with iap' mechanics.

I'm vaguely considering writing my own but it sounds like a lot of work :saddowns:

I was about to rage about kairosoft doing the whole freemium iap bullshit but I shouldn't have lost my faith. :unsmith:

Kotor is awesome, I couldn't be happier that some of the best RPGs ever are making their way to iPad (BG 2 is also incoming)

I'm pretty happy with how kotor plays especially once I figured you could swipe up from anywhere on the screen to move forward (although the whole chat buttons on the right hand side is annoying if you're a lefty and it doesn't seem to be customisable).

I might give BG a go next (hanging out for PST as well) - I'm hoping that the success of AAA ports means that we will break away from the free games with eternally draining IAP mentality.

and that makes no difference what so ever. They are still overpriced.

Your opinions are terrible. (In my opinion, obviously)

IAP fests, 0.0% return to player.

It takes a special kind of person to look at casinos, the associated addictions and all the misery associated with it and thinking "I've gotta get me some of that. I can even do it much cheaper than those scrubs.

The users don't even get free drinks while they lose all their money.

I went to Vegas 2 days ago. They already have gambling apps so you don't even have to leave your room to gamble.

Do they bring free drinks up to your room?

I have to know.

Device 6, the latest game from the developers of Year Walk is out.


I'd say more but I really think this is a game that the less you know going in the better.

Just finished this. I hope they make back everything they put into it and more.

Mobile gaming needs a shitload more games like this, and a shitload less IAP infested skinner boxes.

I also confess to spending too long on the first screen scrolling the wrong way. :smith:

Also not realising that the picture in the black chapel was reversed even though everything else was.

How terrible is the Ultima game from EA?

On one hand, I really enjoyed Ultima back in the day but on the other I really hate being punched in the dick by EA.

Help me IOS games thread!

Or you can earn it without paying. If you're complaining about the price that means you want to buy it on some level, so you're half way to clicking buy.

It's how IAPs get you. Instead see it as a challenge and it's all gravy.

I'm complaining about it and I already uninstalled tds so I don't know if I am really half way to buying it.

It's all available piecemeal though, it's not like you have to buy it all. I am glad they looked at how people were playing and decided to try and find a way to boost variety and content for those players. More room art, more types of monsters, and these things will appear everywhere if you buy them. I'll be snagging the lot, as. I've bought everything they put out so far, but I'm more interested in this boost to the random quests than I ever was for the main quest line expansions.

Also a reminder that you'd pay $12 just for the Witchhunter figure from Games Workshop if you had the physical game, so $12 for more tiles, a ton of new monsters, and a hero (and all his equippable loot) is still a bargain. Comparatively speaking.

All you've done now is remind me that I would buy this game as a boxed set if it was redone. :smith:

While I'm annoyed at some of the dlc you can buy (gold, weapons) - actual content packs are still a day one purchase. I'd like to know how many players actually buy those things and whether it's worth alienating potential buyers.

So the IOS port of Knock-Knock was released. :stare:

Nabbed this, in accordance with my pact to keep buying ice pick games until they rerelease pathologic with a better English translation.
