I think it's humorous and has a nice stile to it, but it is just super boring to play. Just like all these other F2P games it is nothing more than making a few actions and then waiting for time to pass by. There is nothing interesting about it. It doesn't really involve any strategy. It's more just how do I want to wait.

I was wondering if this would come up the longer you play the game. I notice that each upgrade takes more time to do. At least the upgrade time is counted if you don't have the program running.

Yeah, the humor in Middle Manager is great, but (I think) you gotta have some form of minigames in terms of these management type games unless the pace is really great (ie Game Dev Story).

Oh my god. Sometimes I wonder if the iOS gaming community on GAF is in denial or if everyone's a compulsory liar... so I gave Baldur's Gate on the Pad a spin. It's horrible... it's so much better and easier to control on PC that it's not even funny. Natural fit my ass, the game sucks on the Pad. Jesus Christ.
Stay the fuck away from Baldur's Gate on the iPad unless you CAN'T play it on a PC.

There was an issue where people would purchase something, the game would take your cash and not give you the virtual coins. We turned off IAP straight away to avoid people doing that, and thankfully Apple turned around an update approval in record time.
So, if you happen to have version 1.1, update to 1.1.1 before buying any IAP.
If you lost money on the last update because of the above, let me know.

i installed it and then realized it's a third person shooter with virtual joysticks. deleted.
How are you still here
I'm in need of a new iPad lol. I just got an iPhone 4 (I know, but I needed a new phone fast and these were cheap) and the retina is phenomenal. I turned on my iPad 2 for the first time in a couple of days and WOW. The difference is huge.

So it begins.
If you are thinking of buying anything that didn't just come out... hold off, high chance of it going on sale in the next week or so.

I disagree. Our opinions offset ... Move along...

A quick trip around google kinda showed me reviewers agree with me. All reviews are poiting out how much worse the controls are when compared to the PC version.
In this case it's incredibly clear the iOS version is worse, and yet the zealots will still defend it.
I'm all for iOS gaming, but when it's just undeniably worse, there ceases to be a point, doesn't it?
I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you, I haven't played it myself. I'm just shocked that you're still here when every post I've seen of yours in this thread is a negative one, never anything positive. Ever.
Colour me shocked. Whatever next? FPS better on a mouse and keyboard? Driving games better with a wheel?!
I must have missed the bit where there was a big 'iOS vs. PC' argument in this thread. Those crazy zealots and their 'defending', eh?
Clearly. Every post you make drives that point home.
No, or people would only release games on the PC.
I look forward to the next time you stumble in here to swing at some shadows.
It's the latter.
I don't recall anyone saying it played better on the iPad than the PC, and many people have repeatedly pointed out (myself included) how hard it is to click corpses, doors, and other objects.
Yea, that's very annoying, and the devs are working on a fix. That still doesn't stop it from being an awesome game, though.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Why stalk any particular user? Some people probably think the same of me when in truth there are tons of positive things I've said about iOS games I've played and recommended. Not saying the same applies to this guy but eh, I wouldn't care to know either way. Thread title doesn't say positive discussion only. Dude has idevices and does play games on them. That's more than enough to post here. If you don't care of what he thinks then don't reply, he's not gonna post repeatedly after saying his opinion of things if it's not challenged. And if it's challenged then expect discussion to go the way it goes rather than wonder why he's here.
It helps to stop treating the iOS community as a single delusional entity though, iOS-gaf is always playing so many different things at the same time that seeing two or three posters saying they love a game isn't reflective at all of any sort of consensus. If you have a negative opinion on a game just elaborate on it, a lot of people do it in this thread without resorting to hivemind generalizations.

Came to post this. Just quoting for those who may have missed it! Bard's Tale for free is a pretty great deal!
What? Who says I'm stalking him? I said every post of his I've seen. It's not like I'm going through his post history and mining for shit, I'm pointing out my observations. But coming into a thread for the sole reason of shitting on something isn't good discussion, it's trolling/flaming. Negative feedback is perfectly fine, when it's justified by some constructive comments. Show me something constructive in that post and I'll be inclined to agree with you.
saw your post on Dragon Blue!
if you have any feedback for the developer lemme know! he's rather open to it.
on another note.
BG on iPad YAY or NAY?
i just got FF3 for iPad ><
I'm raising my hand!
YAY!!
Super Hexagon $0.99.

Well, you did emphasize it, like ever EVER, and made it the whole basis for your argument of him still being here or not...
Just saying.
Agree the hivemind stuff shouldn't be said though, missed that.
GET THIS SHIT PEOPLE.
Fair enough I suppose. I guess my initial post did give that impression.
Aw damn, just noticed this was iPad only. Was hoping to get some of it up in my 4S.
Oh well, lucky I stlll have an iPad!

Squids for free is amazing. One of my favorite iOS games-get on that, People!
I agree, friend. This game is wonderful and deserves much more coverage than it is getting outside of this thread. To any iOS journalists/reviewers/players reading, this game absolutely deserves your attention!
Imagine the complexity that'll be added when you get more recipes, ingredients and prep slots. Could very well end up being one of my favorites of the year.

That's what compelled me to marathon 16 days. They keep teasing me with stuff. What are those golden tickets?!
looks like i'm gonna be dizzy :O
I tried this as part of freemyapps, and that first level sure reminded me of a certain Counter Strike level...

Animations are kinda finicky and there is pretty limited controls like no crouch or melee.
And it's still Zynga shit.

In that Respawnables game, you're supposed to kill every person you see, right? I wasn't sure because I saw others in my game but then I saw bot enemies also.
Edit: Nevermind, I'm stupid. What I thought were bots were just people dressed differently, haha

It would have been better if star command came out this year
So who bit on Battle of the Bulge? It looks like a great game, but I'm not so sure about the value of a $10 game that is only one map. I'd love to hear some feedback on the game.
Wow, Star Command looks awesome.
Yeah :-/
That game looks amazing, but the long Dev time and multiple kickstarters thing has me a little worried
Bought cook serve delicious, super excited to try it out, wanted to since the quick look
Gamezebo's Battle of the Bulge review. I think I'll buy it.

Keep the soups out of your menu unless you have equiptment to deal with all the chores that get in the way.
Type, size, ice or not, pour. Not much to it.
