Is the soccer Kairosoft game any good? I really enjoyed Hot Springs Story and Game Dev Story, but I haven't seen the goon consensus on it.

Booshi. This character is only level 2 though, I'm getting boned and can't get through any level 1 dungeons.

I just added you, so you'll have a level 6 Monk with you if you want to keep playing.

Wow gently caress this game. Went in a level 1 dungeon with another level 5 and 6 in my party. Steamrolled through 9 levels then the 10th level boss one shot everyone. The first 9 levels monsters hit for about 20-50 a hit, then he hit all characters for 450-500, and instantly gave me popups for IAP to revive my characters (who would just get one shotted again). In a level 1 dungeon. With 2 overleveled characters. Also, for doing an entire dungeon you get maybe 400 gold, yet a single potion costs 1,000 gold. gently caress. This. Game. IAP-sink grindfest.

I'm going to assume you're not going to keep playing so I'm going to grab one of the other goons from the list since I only have the one free slot (MY FIANCEE is the first group slot.) If you are going to keep on playing let me know and I'll go back to you, since you had dibs.

How does it handle when you have to type in names or fake crimes or passwords? Does the standard iOS keyboard pop up, or is there something in-game? One of the best things about the game is how immersive it is, so it'd be cool if there was a uplink-style keyboard.

It works just fine with my ipad's bluetooth keyboard, but if you don't have one I could see that being annoying as heck.

Here's hoping the update doesn't include a bunch of IAP to unlock jobs as well :ohdear:

I'd pay a couple bucks to get access to even more jobs. I'm a total addict for job-based RPGs though.

Anyone got a recommendation for a long airplane flight? Preferably an adventure game, something with a story, or rpg? I've already played through FF2/3/T on the PS so as good as it is I don't have any motivation for it. Is GTA VC enjoyable (controls don't suck) on the iphone 5?

Also is there an ios game recommendation thread out there?

edit: my bad Waldorf, forgot to mention I've played all the AA and Ghost trick

Nobody else has mentioned it but King of Dragon Pass is my go to flight game always.

I've been told by a PopCap employee all the keys and stars needed to unlock content are earn-able through play. So it should only be frustrating if you don't want to put in the time and you also don't want to pay. Having a ceiling of $34 on purchasable content (at least at launch) in a f2p game is about the least evil you will find these days.

So you ignored the part where you have to grind each level several times over and over again repetitively to unlock the doors? Or.. what?

Not: Play the game, enjoy it, have fun. But, repeat the same content several times just to be able to slowly advance through a grindfest.

I like how at the bottom in the first comment he's all. 'Yeah well I'd never do this I only make skill games.' :smug:

Just about everyone involved in IAP is a piece of poo poo, exploiting psychology and underaged buyers for a quick buck. It becomes more apparent the more I read about IAP processes and how successful IAP games work.


edit: Maybe we should make a new thread or something. Except I don't think it would actually be much more than a circlejerk, since I doubt the developer types would come. And it is more or less relevant to iOS games as a whole.

Some PSX emulators require you to have a bios file.. which you can only legally own if you own a Playstation.

Yngwie Mangosteen
Aug 23, 2007
No, there are places to download the bios. It's the honor system as to whether you legally own a PSX or no. The only one I've ever seen work that way has been the Playstation emulator, the zsnes and NESticle, etc. all just worked without having to download an extra deal.

I'm about to do a pretty public hiring push again, if anyone wants an early crack at sending us emails- http://toucharcade.com/join-us/

I'm specifically looking for dudes that are around during the day to write news-y kind of stuff and folks interested in writing guides about free to play games like these- http://toucharcade.com/category/guides/

edit: I should mention the experience requirement is pretty negotiable as long as you're not a total idiot and are actually dedicated to sticking around. Before I started requiring people have some kind of professional experience we were getting tons of "YEAH THIS SOUNDS AWESOME!!!" followed by "Wait, this is... work" insta-flakes which is a huge pain in the rear end.

I'm interested and around during the day but you didn't reply to my last application. Should I resend it and try my luck again?

Sent it in again anyway. I'm very interested in this.

They don't go through shields normally, so it may just be bouncing off.
