Let us know how it goes
60 spins down -> 50,000 credits. This is taking longer than I was expecting, but I'm hoping I can afford Walking Dead via gift cards when all is said & done.

Man I want TWEWY to go on sale. Can't justify the twenty dollars for it...
All from downloading apps? It seems I never get credited for them
Or is that referrals too, lol
Sometimes I feel like the Sheldon Cooper of GAF...
I don't get it.

Some initial impressions on MC4 (Gameloft did provide me a free code cuz I apparently like making threads here about their stuff). Played on iPhone 5.
Campaign is what one expects. The default controls are pretty odd though. The grenade placement is terrible. I literally killed myself right off the bat cuz I dropped a grenade on myself trying to change the camera.
Luckily the game has all the usual move shit around resize buttons etc. The havoc addition does make death animations quite silly. Reminds me of how people get shot in hong kong cinema and do a backflip. Fun stuff. Seems like there will be a few missions ahead where you play as the terrorists. Playing as the baddies does seem like the thing these days.
Anyhow, single player seems fine. Visuals aren't as great as Nova 3, and the water looks awful, but frame rate is solid (on 5 at the very least, ipod 4 and iphone 4 might not be soo hot).
Played a bit of MP as well. Seems like they boosted the hp of dudes a bit, and the maps are quite large. The amount of attachments and mods and what not is quite big, but from what I can tell, the cost of each upgrade is pretty damn expensive, a bit early to tell though.
Maps are noticeably larger, which makes battles slower. The new addition of climbing over barriers and over walls is pretty awesome, "console quality" even!
Oh yeah, they did change knifing in which your fire button just changes to a knife button when you are close to a baddie.
It's not terribly different from MC3, but with the promise of better anti hacking measures for mp (and a report feature), for $7, game seems like a worthy purchase.
If you liked 3, get this, MC games take a long ass while to go on sale. If you don't, don't get this.

Really? The 'follow' guy getting stuck on geometry on the very first level? You don't have to copy battlefield to the T gameloft!

That, and games evidently. I'm just perplexed by the gushing over Into the Dead. It's not a bad game per se, but its appeal is incredibly fleeting, for me at least.
Yet a game like Walking Dead Assault comes along, and because it is not backed by hype, folks play one chapter of it and label it "meh." Eh, 'tis the nature of GAF I suppose.
How long are the sales?

Take advantage of a limited-time sale celebrating the coming release of FINAL FANTASY IV! From now through December 14 only, save 40% or more on the Chapter 14 Set, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, and the Chiptune BGM!
They're both fantastic, there.
FreeAppSlots runs like complete shit for me in Chrome, even with Nitrous installed. Don't know why.

WEEHEE LET ME NOT PLAY. :'( Dem iPad only games. Not that it would've been playable on iPhone anyway LOL
Long time since I played BG. Kind of want to get it on Ipad to have a portable version.
As for BG vs BG2, I think BG2 is vastly superior. However, if you haven't played one before, might as well start from the beginning. First game is awesome.
Edit: I should mention that the game is old school difficult at times too. If you are used to babyz mode in modern gaming it might be too much to handle.

I'm pretty excited for BG, I've never played them but KOTOR is one of my favorite games and I loved the first Dragon Age. Hopefully BG is similar enough that I dig it too.

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
Guys anyone having problems after DjMax Ray got updated?
I can't get past the connection screen, the game crashes before it can even start
@ipad3 btw
Did you try restarting your ipad?
yep twice :/
i don't even know if i can erase the app and re-download without losing all the music packs that i've bough

You'll be able to restore IAPs. You should try again after shutting down background apps before redownloading the whole thing though.

Music packs can be viewed on the App Store so I would imagine they are tied to your account.yep twice :/

I say yay, but that's because Vice City is half the price of my lunch tomorrow and it's awesome.
Good news about BG, I will have to give it some purchasing consideration later on. TBH I don't know what I'm gonna have to delete to be able to install it. I might finish up Walking Dead first to free up a couple of gigs. Not like I haven't got enough games on the go as it is.
Also very tempted by FFIV. I've only recently completed FFT and FFVI and loved them, and even though I started FFIV DS and didn't like it, I'd be up for giving it another go now I'm more used to the series.

I'll probably bite BGEE just to show my support and hoping they will start making original content sooner than later (or port more multiplayer friendly games like the IceWind Dale series), but I do not think I'l replay for the n-th time to completion my favorite saga.
Personally, while BG2 is technically superior in every compartement, I prefer BG1, mostly because I prefer low levels D&D characters than high levels ones.
Also, alone in the world, I never liked the fact that in BG2 every 3 steps your quest journal would be updated 15 times.
I loved exploring the vast plains in BG1, where initially even a small pack of wolves could be certain death.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Gubs is great, I'm still considering buying the physical version. I played the PC "demo" dubbed Pixel Edition (demonstrating the physical game at the time, it's AI vs only) a lot. But I liked their art (which Pixel Edition still uses) before the publisher changed it.

What's the quality of the iOS port of Final Fantasy Tactics like? I've never played through that game and I feel like I should once in my life, but some of the reviews on the store page suggest it might be a bit of a crash happy port and it is putting me off a slight bit.

I played the whole game and it only crashed maybe 2 or three times over 70-odd hours. It plays well with some tweaks to the options as well, I had no problems at all with it.
GTA 3 ran great on my ipad 2. Only problem I had was the sniper mission. I found it impossible to complete, thanks to the controls.
Thats why I'm on the fence about Vice City

that's what I'm thinking. That's what happened with GTA3 and max payne. I was 'thinking about it' then 'shit, its a dollar'.

Seconded (minus the crashes, never had any in about 60 hours).
The game is outstanding imho.

Hey iPeople, my iPhone 4 has suddenly stopped being able to charge. It was fine last night, any ideas what the problem could be or how to fix? I've blown on it like a Mario cart in 1989, powered off and on, cleaned the connector of lint... nada.
Ideas?
Ideas?
My charging cable breaks ALL the time. Try it with a completely different one, maybe it's just gone totally nonfunctional and your phone is actually fine?

I think it's the phone - it didn't charge overnight on my home cable (whereas my iPad did) and now I'm at work with a different cable it's still not working.

Sure, got them with no problems. You need to Update the app and then download the new levels from inside the app.
Did you make sure there's not like a piece of food stuck in the connector? You said you dusted it off, but... never know. Did you check if maybe a piece of the connector broke off and got stuck? (this somehow happened to my eSATA cable, I have a piece of connector stuck in my external HD now and it won't connect -.-)
