Anybody try that new Need for Speed game? What's it like?

Anybody try that new Need for Speed game? What's it like?

Took me less than an hour to hit a point where I would need to grind or pay money. The races are 20-40 seconds long from what I played, and I'm not sure if it was ever really possible to lose. I uninstalled.

 

[bennywhatever]

How's the Secret of Mana port? The reviews seem decent, but I trust you guys more than Android reviews.
I do have a MOGA controller btw.

I've only played like 10 minutes, but its ok so far? Plays well and I'm mostly happy it doesn't have irritating ads between races (so far).

I tried Tapsmith and really like the concept, but I have no idea what to do, for the most part. I wish I understood Japanese. Can you recommend any similar games that are in English? Do they even exist?

haven't encountered anything similar yet (at least the smithing part), the battle system is your usual tap the monster at the right moment to deal critical hit while tapping yourself to guard

Wow, Tapsmith sounds really close to an idea I was messing around with in GameMaker a couple of years ago. (Not that it's an original idea in the first place. Although I did think of it before I knew about Weapon Shop de Omasse as well ).

Should get around to it one day before I die or more people steal it from me ;P

I like this.

I'm level 18. It is possible to lose because the races get to the point you need a higher performance level.

The issue is that the cars and parts are behind a gatcha. So a lucky draw can keep you ahead without having to grind.

Money is mainly used to install parts and rebuild parts after you have installed all the components.

I'm having fun with it.

camel up out on android

[Lostconfused]

I am sure this is for nobody, and anyone that cares already knows.

But that phone SRW game is out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bandainamcoent.srwxomg limited to Japan so really should just get the apk

It's made developed by Sega? Supposedly plays like chain chronicles? Seems to be just as bad as any other mobile gacha game.

But it's SRW, so I'll still play it.

 

[bennywhatever]

Took a leap and got Secret of Mana last night. The controls will take some getting used to, but they're pretty good. Also, the visuals are a nice increase from the SNES version. Nothing major, but definitely improved in small ways.

Any impressions? I couldn't get a good feel for the game based on the info available via google play, but I'm a sucker for good board-games. (I still play at least one game of Catan every day.)

This thread is so dead compared to the ios thread.

So ? There is just so much you can talk about when most bigger f2p/service games have their own threads anyway.Thread is active enough as in we are getting all sales posted and questions answered/recommendations posted frequently.

Well, just think of the Windows Phone people

It's a community thread that consists of you, me and the poster above me. Community is such a death sentence.

Well, just think of the Windows Phone people

What's a Windows phone?

 

[Johnlenham]

I have allways wondered why this one seems so empty. I do pop in to see whats come out recently

 

[Nightbird]

I might not be active in this thread, but i always look whats new here when the thread reappears in subscription box, because i found many interesting games thanks to you guys

 

[Vanillalite]

I check the thread and post occasionally.

No point in posting a ton though.

What two games am I playing currently? Lara Croft Go and Hearth which both have their own thread.

 

[garath]

I lurk. I mostly stick to the f2p games. Chain chronicle, dragon blaze. I'm eagerly anticipating seven knights. That should be hitting NA play store soonish.

http://sevenknights.netmarble.com/m/

Another one coming this winter is phantom of the kill.

http://phantomofthekill.com/sp/

But I just bought spy vs spy from that sale. It looks fun. I used to like that game as a kid.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

I'm subbed here and post occasionally. In all honesty I don't play a ton because of a lack of time. :-(

 

[yogloo]

Is the humble eye candy worth buying?
It's just nice to see a lively thread.

 

[Mikeside]

I check in here whenever I see it's updated, but to be honest, I defected to iOS for my mobile gaming when I got an iPad.

I just don't enjoy gaming on my little Z3 Compact. That will probably change when I upgrade as I'm going to get the new Nexus 6 or something similar, so it'll be a better gaming sized screen.

 

[Matush]

Is there any way to get a notification for app/game when their price goes down?

Appsales app or site. I have never used it though.

Monument Valley, including its expansion, is "Actually Free" from Amazon Underground. Highly recommended puzzle game just in case there are some out there that haven't tried it out yet.

Ugh, for some reason it isn't installing on my phone. Even through I've done the necessary security changes... weeee

This thread is so dead compared to the ios thread.

This has never been a chit-chat thread, just a sales post and occasional recommendation thread. Plus for a long while for some reason it didn't come up in the search. I enjoy the fact that when I see it pop up in my subscriptions the new post is almost always something worthwhile.

Nice, I really enjoyed the base game and have been looking forward to trying the expansion. Definitely recommend it to everyone whole likes puzzle games.

How does the Actually Free program work? Is it pretty self explanitory?

 

[Rodney McKay]

How does the Actually Free program work? Is it pretty self explanitory?

Yeah, it's there way of saying that the game itself and all of its in-app purchases are also free.

I've heard that some games they label as this are missing some stuff based on some of the app reviews on their store, but the majority seem legit. I recently downloaded a bunch of "Actually Free" games like Badland and two of the Cut the Rope games.

Ugh, for some reason it isn't installing on my phone. Even through I've done the necessary security changes... weeee

I had issues installing Badland and Sorcery from Amazon, they would download, but then they wouldn't install properly.

The issue I was having was apparently due to my Note 4 having an SD card. I took out the SD card, installed the games properly, and then put it back in afterwards and everything worked fine. Hopefully they update the app to fix that bug, their old Amazon App Store app never had that issue.

Oh hey I have an SD card. Thats really kinda lame. Gonna have to try this out later and see.

Community is killing this thread.
Every thread is a chit-chat thread, otherwise it would all be copy paste of press releases.

 

[yasu151]

I love this thread. Posts aren't as frequent, but I check it out daily. Almost every game I've purchased has come from recommendations I've found here, often discounted or free altogether. I've really come to enjoy mobile gaming.

 

[DagsJT]

Just subbed to the thread as I've gone from a Z3 Compact to an LG G4. I feel I can actually see games now.

 

[Chopper]

After putting it off for months, I picked up Hearthstone. Loving it, and I'm not a deck-building kind of guy.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Would love to hear some impressions of the G4. I'm just about to upgrade from a Samsung S5 and the S6 isn't exactly blowing my socks off. I hate that they yanked the SD card. That being said, I've seen some comparison videos on YT that make the S6 look sharper/brighter than the G4.

Without wanting to go too off-topic, the G4 seems pretty nice. I've only had it for 24 hours but I'm getting used to it more and more. It's VERY sharp and VERY bright (when you turn off the Auto brightness, it's blindingly bright). It lagged a little at first but there was two system updates and it seems fine now.

The leather back is great too!

Wow that's excellent. Thanks!

E: Nevermind. The Moga Pro has a hair too much input lag over Bluetooth. Bummer.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Hopefully someone here can help me out.

My friend bought Monopoly but doesn't want to play on his tablet, instead he usually uses BluesStacks. But the problem is that the game for some reason launches in the color red as seen in the image below. It's completely playable, runs just fine except for the red.

Anyone know why this could be happening? I don't think it's related to his PC or graphics card but I could be wrong.

Do most other things work fine? It might just be an emulation bug with that specific app.

Motorsports Manager. Get it people. I am completely addicted to it right now. If you like championship manager games and have the slightest interest on car racing, this is the game to play.

Thanks for this. I was too cheap to buy the game.
