Anytime I try and download an app now it just says "waiting" on the app icon and doesn't start downloading. It just stays there forever. Is the store being hammered or did I do something? I recently downloaded an app from freemyapps but that's the only change I've done.

whyyy is this happening? I want squids!

Mine sometimes does that too. Just try again later.

Downloaded Squids to check, and all is working fine. Your wifi connection okay?

HD version is 3x the cost of the non-HD version? No thanks.

Mine started to do it all the time after awhile as I wasn't upgrading it from 4.1. Everything went to normal when updated to the latest firmware. Mine was also jailbroken though so that could played a part in it.

aren't all the HD versions of Angry Birds $2.99 though? Universal would be better, but at least it's not a third tier of XHD or ipad 3 exclusive versions. My sister has a Kindle Fire, and there's $5 versions of angry birds and angry birds rio just for that.

Have you been swapping store accounts? If so maybe the cache file is screwed up and needs rebuilding. Read back on my post regarding the "unable to purchase" error, one of its side effects was a long "waiting" delay. Since I got it fixed its been perfect.

This happened to me as well, I had to use iExplorer to delete everything I could in the Downloads folder on my phone and the problem went away. I was already on the latest firmware too so an upgrade wouldn't have helped.

Stupid question here (still a little new to iOS) which one should I get to play on a 4S?

Micro, right? EP is just the universal version?

Correct. Get EP if you have an iPad too or plan to get an iPad in the future. Micro if you're iPhone only

Played for 5 minutes. Ended up rank 5 with 20k score. Played this shit upside-down the whole time cause it doesn't auto-rotate and my charger is on my right side. Gameplay gets hectic, but nothing too crazy.

I really want to buy Galaxy on Fire 2 HD, but I've read the latest version has a few glitches. The recent reviews don't mention anything game-breaking - anyone know if I start playing it, if I will encounter anything major?

Awesome game. My 2nd fav from iOS.

I downloaded the Assassin's Creed... card game? I haven't tried it yet. Is it worth playing? A card game on iOS sounds like it could be a lot of fun. I loved Metal Gear Acid and Cardfighter's Clash. Is this anything comparable to those ?

I haven't played either of those two, but i'd say it has some similarities to magic the gathering. AC: Recollection is definitely fun though and very polished.

I'm not really much of a MtG player, although I have dabbled a bit, but I don't really see much in the way of similarities past both being CCGs. Recollection seems very innovative to me. With constant ebb and flow due to its real time nature, it feels less like a card game and more like a dance. The presentation is top notch and it uses the platform well to track changing attributes more elegantly than a paper CCG using counters and the like. However, like a lot of iOS games, I think the documentation/tutorial is a bit skimpy, it took me a few AI losses to figure out that your opponent could still score in a region you already controlled. I'd also prefer a bit more lore/metagame info on the different factions, but overall I'm enjoying it.

As for someone else asking about other card games, there's also Ascension. Weak AI, but the multiplay is quickly overtaking another forum I read. Word of warning on the card art... it um... has a style to it, but you can certainly get used to it. It's also not a CCG, just a straight card game with expansion one-time IAP.

Besides the higher resolution (therefore bullets being sharper with higher contrast against the lower resolution backgrounds), nothing that would really benefit you, unless you find the reduced number of frames of animation less distracting.

Wait, so ESP2HD and DDPRHD have less frames of animation compared to their SD counterparts?

Tunesmith, thanks for the tips on GP Story mate, appreciated.

 

[Fjordson]

Thanks.

Going to grab that and Angry Birds Space HD tonight. Some good gaming ahead.

Are energy drinks the only way to regain energy in New Star Soccer?

Are energy drinks the only way to regain energy in New Star Soccer?

Buy better property, then you regain more energy after each game. the 200/300 pretty much let you be full energy after every game even when going 2-hearts through the whole game.

Apart from your house at the end of each match, yes I believe they are.

I think so, other than the more expensive properties that restore all of your energy.

Speaking of NSS, seriously one of the best games I've played in a long time. Always forcing myself to play just one more turn

I find this game controls terribly - sometimes when I want to shoot she jumps and when I want to jump she shoots?

 

[StarCreator]

Wait, so ESP2HD and DDPRHD have less frames of animation compared to their SD counterparts?

I need to check the two DDPRs side by side to be sure, and I only have videos from ESP2 to go on (don't own the iPhone version). Both certainly have much less animation than their arcade/360 counterparts, though it's a lot more noticeable for ESP2.

Hate to report this, as I'm a big Adam Atomic fan, but I feel the exact same way about it. Oh well, it's still pretty decent when you find the sweet spot. Also, it's free, so yeah..

Anyone else have Rage HD?

It's really hard to play I find. The camera is always forcing me to turn ways I don't want to, so I keep missing the ammo and health pick ups.

What does the running person button do?

I find turning the camera really starts to hurt my left finger because I'm always dragging against the way it's turning automatically.

Yeah, controls aren't very responsive. The framerate could be better too.

Running person is dodge...

Play in virtual window mode in short bursts when possible. Very precise.

Play other games when not possible

Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking out. Did you try turning up the movement speed? Great little game, but it's hard as nails to get good at (imo). I think the running just improves you're time.
