Come hang out in my awesome but barren nova 3 OT!


And my iPhone randomly went to recovery mode yesterday. First time I've restored from iCloud. Took like 30min but worked out fine.

But now I don't have sword and poker 2 no more T.T

That sucks. Can I give you my backup data of Sword and Poker 2, maybe that'll work together with iExplorer since you've got the purchase ticket?
Btw, linked Nova 3 OT in the op.
 
But still, Carc is dumb to me. I can wrap my head around any legitimate strategy. It all seems so surface-level. If you disagree, I demand you teach me your ways.

I mostly agree. I like Carc, but out of all my favourite board games it's the one I like the less. TTR, Catan & Puerto Rico are just so much more engaging and diverse... Not to mention Twilight Struggle!

As far as digital implementation goes though... Carc's the current king. It's crispy clean! Plus I hate async, so... Yeah.
 
Dear Jedeye Sniv,
What about a new iOS' bests voting thread? Maybe one restricted to 2011/2012? You've already got the template anyway.

Sincerely,
GAF

But Flunkie, X game came out in December 2010 and got a content patch on X month, so it doesn't count! What's that? No, I don't care when you started to play it!

Dear GAF
The idea is terrifying, but yeah, we could do with a new one couldn't we?
I'll be happy to do it again, but I'd rather avoid the bitching and toy throwing that accompanied the last one. So to that end, does anyone have any alternative ideas on how the voting should work? I think the 10 votes thing worked last time (on balance at least) but if anyone has any ideas for tweaks to the system I'm all ears.
Love

Does FreeAppDaily just take forever to acknowledge I've downloaded/played the games they list? It's been like 10 minutes since I've played them, and there still aren't check marks over the apps.
 
What happened to freeappdaily? I updated it the other day, and ever since then it just shows a list of the same games on appshopper.

They had to redo their app to fit Apple regs, which means they had to pull the offer redemptions out of the app.

You can still use the app to vote and view deals, but actually getting their deals has to be done through the web app ... which, I believe, requires Facebook.

Should just create some sort of external poll with all the possible top games and let people vote. You can also let people add games to the poll so nothing is missed.

It'll make things a lot easier than adding everything up.
 
Considering Junk Jack for iPad, how is it? Looks pretty damn good. I could see myself messing around with it quite a bit.

Could use one of those nifty poll sites (straw poll?) and just post the link in an email code or something. Don't know if it'll work with so many poll items though.
 
Another Aralon HD code up for grabs. US only. Quote to reveal.



Side note: anyone playing BattleCON? Just started but I like what I'm seeing.

Tons and tons of things to look for and create in the game. One of my personal top 10, made even better by its latest update.
 
I think I bought spell tower @ 0.99? Um, why isn't this a minimum of $5? Its got NO DLC to buy and its fucking excellent.

SPELLTOWER buy it.

I started playing it; and can't stop and now I've clear all the available levels :(

Yeah ... the style and presentation seem really top notch and it is a cool take on card battle games.

Not so sure how easy it will be to win matches with the base characters yet, tho.
Some people will likely be turned off by the character/costume IAP.

But as the initial download is FREE it is certainly worth a look for anyone that likes CCGs or fighting games.

BattleCON
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/battlecon/id498143398?mt=8

Experience head-to-head card gaming like never before with BattleCON for iOS.
Play online against opponents all over the world in fast-paced duels of strategy, wits, and skill!

I've had Starbase Orion downloaded forever, but it was just so intimidating I never really gave it a shot. Decided the other day to just sit down and try to figure it out. Well it took a few goes at it, but it finally clicked last night. What an amazing game!

The interface is what really gets me. This is a fairly complex game, and yet the interface does just about everything I want it to. It works in a way that even $60 blockbusters sometimes don't. One of the best examples of this is how the Ship Designer is located under the Military tab, and so that is generally where I go when I want to modify my designs, but there's also a shortcut to the Ship Designer under the planetary build menu (which is where you queue up your next project. So if you forget to modify your ship after unlocking plasma turrets, and are already in the build menu, you don't have to back all the way out. It's a little thing that goes a long way.

Starbase Orion is like $8 now, which is obviously pretty expensive for iOS, but if you want a really meaty game this is a good choice. The game I have going right now against 1 AI has been going for like 5 hours already.
 
Batman is pretty good. I think I like it more than IB, and I'm not even that big of a Batman fan. Everyone should grap this since it's dropped to a buck.
 
Does the developer(s) of Squids post here? I thought I saw them posting a few months ago.

Just in case I want to sing my praise about this game. Great art syle, wonderful music, awesome characters and worlds, super addicting rpg lite type meets underwater pseudo angry birds game play (I use angry birds loosely). I seriously loved everything about this game. Really good stuff here. Lots of content too. Just when I thought I did everything more and more kept coming. Cant wait for the sequel.


Now a question for those who HAVE played the game. Now that I have finished it I'm a sucker (no pun intended ;) ) for getting achievements and I'm trying to get them all and I'm a big short with no guidance on how to finish it. I'm looking for the "Lets Bounce" achievement. I thought I bounced off of SOMETHING with every squid on every turn and didnt get it. Are there specific things your supposed to bounce off of? What exactly qualifies as a bounce? If nobody knows is there a site out there like Achievement Hunters for Xbox cheevos but for iPhone games?

No biggie.

Realized that I have the ipa on my itunes.

since ios 5, I really haven't synced my iphone with my computer since lol.
 
Infinity Blade has depth?

Infinity Blade 1 and 2 might not be revolutionary but they have more depth than most iOS games I've played. Fact that you don't like the type of gameplay doesn't mean it's shallow, I've clocked more than a hundred hours in both games in total and I'm still honing my skills a lot.
 
So I'm finally considering Junk Jack. Seems super meaty. First question...iPhone or iPad? And is there a lot to "do" or is it very Minecrafty where you just build structures for fun?

There's a free lite version if you wanna give it a try.

It's not as satisfying as full one minecraft but I really like it, loads more crafting and stuff. Looooads of stuff, definitely recommend it. Best minecraft style game on ios
 
Nova 3 multiplayer is really fun. Havent even touched single player yet. Apparently in the next update ipad 3 users can choose between retina res and no effects or ipad 2 res with effects. It will be interesting to compare.

Really? Where did you read that?

Hmmm... To each his own I guess. It is just basically whack-a-mole with fancy graphics to me. Don't take me wrong, I like the games, but they are just shallow and repetitive to me. Fun? Absolutely! Deep? No . But I don't expect depth from an iOS game. If I want depth I look to my consoles or my PC. iOS games for me are just a distraction meant to be played in bite sized chunks. Infinity Blade serves this purpose just fine for me.
 
Oh, those were yours? Which device have you been playing on then?
iPad 3, iPad 2, and iPhone 4S. I've been mostly using my iPad 3 to actually play the game, though.

I really want to grab NOVA 3 for multiplayer, but I can't decide which device.

Also, I'll grab the Junk Jack demo. Thanks for the heads up!

It's a universal app, meaning if you buy it for one device, it works on all of them.
Edit: beaten
 
Mannnnn ...
Thanks for getting my hopes up.

There ain't no Junk Jack demo.

Is there??!?

Yeah there is, I have it oo

Edit: WTF, I can't find it in the appstore anymore either... Must've been pulled, odd. I still have it on my iPhone though oO
