Blocked at work, but does it mention what sort of new equipment there is?Reese-015 said:
I'd prefer some kind of real addition to the gameplay, or new passive abilities, but hey whatever.

This sounds great. For free? Yes, please.
I think my only complaint about the game is that the camera gets too close to your character in certain fights and it's hard to see what the enemy is doing. I hope they do something about that in a future update.
I'm shocked at how much I'm enjoying this game. It's so goddam fun.

The additional equipment and levels in this pack will probably make it a lot easier to kill the Level 200 God-King (I always come within a sliver of pulling it off). I mean, raising the level cap to 45 is already 10 additional stat points (which I'll choose to pump into HP and Magic). I wonder if his level jumps up to 250 after that.

I'm really digging the fighting system. I'm sure there are people that wanted IB to be some sort of open-world RPG or something, but I love the "Punch-Out" style of gameplay. The parrying system is a blast.
And the retina display...man this thing looks good.

An open world style game could still work with this style of combat. Just make it encounter based and have the first person movement they used in the Epic Castle demo when outside of battle. The game is awesome and I hope Epic continues to expand on the game.Skilletor said:

This game is fun as fuck. Playing it on an iPad.
Just as I was close to saving up for the Infinity Blade, the extra DLC equipment costs me my fortune.
Odd to see the currency change from $ to Infinity Bux. The symbol really stand outs/seem out of place now.
I'm guessing Marrow Fiend is just a random fight?
The enemies aren't "too strong" but will you do less damage. With the starting swords, your damage isn't minimal but it is noticeably reduced. Of course, with the increased experience from fights on higher Bloodlines, the lesser swords will take less time to master.

Is the Infinity Blade update showing for anyone else in the UK? Its showing on its game page,
but when I search for updates on my iphone... I get nothing.
Yup, I updated mine this morning.
Thanks for letting me know.
Think Ive come up with a solution. Went to Infinity Blades page in itunes and bought it again. Then itunes informed me that I already own a previous version and that this update will be free. So hopefully its downloading the correct version. Strange... this is the first time Ive had a problem with updating apps on my mac or on my iphone.

It's too bad there weren't any new rings in this update. Ah well, the new shields, helmets, and armor more than make up for that (even though I'm not too interested in the new weapons for more than their ability to help me level up).

I suck at dodging.
I managed to break Aralon again, so I switched back to Infinity Blade, and managed a pretty awesome kill streak. First of all, the update fixed the problem with one of the stupidest, easiest achievements not registering, so that was nice.
I started and completed bloodlines 10, 11, and 12, and finally closed for the night at the very beginning of bloodline 13. I managed to purchase and max every remaining ring, shield, helm, and armor (including the new ones included with content update 1.1), and have only to max the 5 weapons remaining to me; which have all been purchased save for the Infinity Blade, which I'm now saving up for.
Bloodline 10 ended with me finally taking down the level 150 God-King, and surprisingly his level 200 form went down in bloodline 11. I got his level 250 form down to about 40% of his total health when I finally died. With the +200 attack from the Infinity Blade, he should be a cake-walk.
Let's see, I'm around halfway between level 43 and 44, and I imagine that the 5 remaining weapons will take me up to the new max of 45. Amusingly, I happened to kill the level 150 God-King with the sword Ruin, which netted me an achievement I never noticed before (added with this update?): Kill the God-King with the weakest sword. That was kind of neat.
I also managed to snag a few more achievements. Not too many left now. There's a new one for reaching level 45, which I'll undoubtedly get soon, and I have yet to acquire the 1000 parries and 1000 combo achievements. But those are inevitable.
Oh, and the new Marrow Fiend enemy is nothing special. He has a bunch of combos that are perhaps trickier to parry than usual, thanks to his love of both types of vertical strikes. I find them much harder to parry on the iPhone 4 than the horizontal strikes. Screen size real estate issues, I imagine.
That's it for tonight.

Welp, I've maxed out all the available equipment, and the level 350 God-King is still kicking my ass. I do tremendous damage to him, of course, but he can basically kill me in one successful stunlocked combo. Time to leave things off until the next free update

Wait, how does the addition of a feature you won't use make the game worth less to you?tengiants said:
I agree that the overall phenomenon of paying real money for in-game upgrades is irritating, but it doesn't suddenly make Infinity Blade a bad game.
Sure as hell explains why it's so damn grind-happy though.
tengiants said:
ok, to answer your question. go back to your email receipt for the purchase and click on the small link for report a problem and then ask for a refund.
but if you say its because you find optional, in-app purchases distasteful, dont expect to get your money back
