Allan Assiduity posted:Final Fantasy Tactics is pretty good so far; it runs much faster than the PSP version did, although the random crashing is disappointing to see. I was debating getting this but the fact that all of the most recent reviews are 1-star "THIS APP CRASHES" and it hasn't been updated since March keeps warding me off.

pctD posted:It crashes, but it autosaves every move. I've never lost any progress because of a crash. I'm not trying to say that its a perfect situation but it works and the reviews don't paint the whole picture. I will grant that, but the price of an app is inversely proportional to my willingness to suffer through problems that app has. Especially since I have a gameboy micro with FFTA sitting in my coat pocket

This game feels like minecraft combined with a watered-down version of Dwarf Fortress. This is fantastic. Regarding the double-speed crafting, are you just talking about time crystals or is there an upgrade I'm not seeing?

Bummey posted:Run in one direction until you find some corn and harvest it with a shovel to get 3 pieces of corn, go back to your town and plant the corn. When it grows, harvest it with a shovel and etc etc. Sunflower seeds, apples, oranges, work too. Make a spear and stab the gently caress out of some dodos, cook dodo meat at fire, devour. It's rough going until you get a solid farm set up. I haven't seen any corn or carrots yet, but I've got a couple fruit trees nearby. Is there any way to replant them using the fruit, or do you just have to not cut them down in the first place? Comrade Flynn posted:Jesus christ how deep do you need to dig to find bronze ore?

TACD posted:Also - how do you dye clothing? I made some yellow powder stuff, how can I apply it to things? One of the things you can make is a clothing dye workshop. As you upgrade it you can apply up to 3 different dye types (which seems to mix the hues, not turn it into a gradient or anything), but at minimum you need the clothing to dye, the pigment, and a bucket of water.

dishwasherlove posted:Riven is out. RealMyst was pretty great for PC, and the only non-5 review I see is literally someone rating it one because they can't figure out a puzzle.

As a followup for Riven for anyone who cares, it's definitely Riven. Seems to play fine on a Mini, controls are what you'd expect from an iOS port of a point and click. They took out the quick travel option but added a "hotspot display" option: Which you can either shake your iPad to show, or set to show after a couple seconds of idle time on a screen. It also has game saving functionality (4 slots), for all (most) of the points where you need to check what sound those loving eyeballs make. It seems like they cut down on animation granularity on some of the less blatant in-game animations (Gehn's chair on the library island opening up was pretty janky), but the more interesting ones appear to have been kept in their entirety, like the cross-island tram system. Given that they took a formerly-3.5G game and pared it down to 1.8G, it seems to be a small price to pay; but I wouldn't expect to see Exile any time soon. I'll be sure to come back and complain if the musical lock on Katran's door is still hosed like it was if you tried to play the original on Win7  e: also when the tram got to the jungle island I halfway reached for the CD tray on my desktop computer before I remembered what I was doing.

I remember most of the puzzles that exist (like that stupid marble puzzle), but don't remember the solutions or where the solutions were found, since those last two bits are blips of time compared to the amount of time I spent trying to figure the puzzles out in the first place.

I know the answer is probably going to be "no one", but does anyone play Konami's Dragon Collector in here? It seems to be popular, but it seems a little (a lot) IAP/neopetish for my taste. I was just wondering if it's complete and utter poo poo compared to other offerings in the same vein.

Narqulie posted:drat CoH, I paid 5€ already, what's with the ads and iap? The only IAP appears to be multiplayer "unlock everything now now now"-- handy if you don't care about or don't want to play the campaign, but you can unlock everything normally instead. And the ads just seem to be an occasional "We do other games" thing when you bail to the main menu, which doesn't seem terrible to me.

Zwilnik posted:I'd assume it means a hollow as in a clear area in woodland (like Sleepy Hollow) not a hollow tree as it says a hollow behind a tree. So I'd guess go somewhere behind the tree. No, it's actually a hollow sideways tree trunk. When it first comes into view, you can see a demon behind a knothole peek out, see you, and run away.

Trying to talk to people or open chests is a pain, just mashing the screen until it finally registers and then because i'm mashing the screen I miss the popup... Yeah I feel like I'm getting a lot of unresponsive taps in dialogs, having to tap a couple times before the game catches up with itself and actually registers. e: Also, am I the only one getting shitstomped by anyone that has creatures that are like one level higher than you? I can't tell if you're supposed to grind on some random encounter in certain situations before moving on, or if the order in which you encounter battles is occasionally very wonky.

If you're very, very careful about where you touch, and that your touches don't slide on the screen at all when you're long pressing to remove, it's fine. That said I've finished the elf campaign and it's irritating enough on a mini that I'm debating trying the DS version, so I can't even imagine doing it on a phone.

I've gotten better at being careful as time goes on; maybe one battle in 4 with a mis-move. What's irritating now is randomly not being able to long-press delete-- the game just doesn't respond. I can still move units, but not delete them. It fixes itself 100% of the time if I force kill it, and maybe 30% if I bounce out and in, but losing half your moveset randomly is a pretty nasty bug that I'm surprised made it through QA.

Spincut posted:Which is somewhat baffling to me, really. Roguelikes seem like one genre that would be great on a mobile device. If it's actually turn-based, then yeah, but "roguelike" as a genre seems to be drifting closer to ARPG nowadays, and god knows I wouldn't want to deal with anything like that on a touch device. Are there even any released-in-the-last-5-years turn-based roguelikes out in the wild on any platform? The last time I recall anything like that was Lufia for the GBA.
