Anyone find Tiny Wings is prone to crashing? Was well on my way to besting my 77k high score and then the game crashed. Crashed most of the times I received texts also.
Argh.

The game? It's definitely not just a distraction. It's a game, through and through, but it's also about the art, the music, the exploration.taoofjord said:

Half of the game's fun is in these challenges, I love them. I still need to do that objective tooThe M.O.B said:

Just don't do any more challenges until you genuinely get 34s of Fever, easywhitehawk said:Resist using the glitch. Sadly I accidently discovered it
Your problem is easy, not the challenge.

I don't quite understand why people pin the pressure on Nintendo and the handheld market. The audience Nintendo goes after with the 3DS is the same crew that pays $60 for a retail console game. If Nintendo is in trouble then by association Sony and Microsoft are as well, since the days of paying for larger games are coming to a close, evidently.
I'm not going to bring my ps3 to work to play on my lunch break. It's not in competition with my iphone. Portable systems are competing against my iphone for my limited play time outside my house. I find it much easier to whip out my iphone, which I would be carrying with me regardless, than to carry around my DS. I don't wear cargo pants, so I like to travel light. I have about 20 games on my iphone that I've spent less money on than a single new release DS or PSP game. I've had a lot of fun with those games and it's going to take a lot for me to be willing to spend $250 + $40 per game for me to get a 3DS.
johnsmith said:
This sounds like personal preference more than anything Nintendo should be concerned with.
I don't question the value of what Apple is doing with the app store. But at least for now I don't think Nintendo will have any trouble selling gallon loads of 3DS's.

I think it can apply to gaming time as gaming time regardless of the category but the relevance really is in the portable space. I would say it's as simple as consumer behavior and expectations are changing, which is something you better believe Nintendo and Sony are monitoring in their market research. I don't think it'll do something like destroy 3DS sales but this is a world where you can play Unreal powered games on your phone for $5. I can't be the only customer Nintendo/Sony has lost to Apple.Oli said:
Not everyone owns an iphone. Until recently, I used my old phone (treo) as a phone. Nothing more, nothing less. Having good games on my iphone is just an added bonus. It won't replace my ds or my psp.
I dont think Nintendo or any other handheld gaming companies should fear anything at the moment. If anything, I would hope that it would cause these companies to lower their game prices. -_-
Edit: Just picked up... Save Toshi and WTF?! lol.

I don't want to get into this argument again, but there is plenty to fear. You are a minority, as much of GAF - even large publishers agree that people are switching from dedicated handhelds towards gaming on their smartphones. The reason is many of them are not hardcore gamers, and are happy to have a single device for their music/gaming needs, or music/gaming/calling needs.
What publishers are concerned about is that smartphones will distort peoples notion of value. A lot of people are having fun with $0.99 apps, they are unlikely to go back to full-priced games.
Once again, this stuff is a general trend. Saying that you, or me are sticking with dedicated handhelds doesn't mean the trend isn't there.

Oh, there is a lot to fear.
In subway or bus now I see much less DS in old people, and more iPhones. People always carry a phone, and if the phone allows the small entertaintment needings, they won't carry a special device that is only used to get distracted.
Probably hardcore people will still buy NGP or 3DS (but they will buy less games because they have to share a limited amount of time between 2 devices), and probably child will still get the console because most parents prefer to give a gaming machine to a child instead of a expensive phone. But a lot of the casual market, that now has a DS, maybe won't simply have the need of buying a 3DS if they already are busy playing Angry Birds in their iPhones.

I'm really, truly bad at Tiny Wings. I know I'm supposed to increase gravity while the bird is descending, but then my hill jumps end up sloppy and I lose all my speed. I love the presentation, but I wish the game's tutorial was handled better because I think I'm playing wrong :-(

You don't have to blindly follow the rule "if it's going down, touch screen". Focus what is the hill where the bird will collide when it goes down, then touch the screen before that, in order to make the bird go down to the slope of the previous hill, stop pressing when the bird is in the valley.
With the practice you'll "know" what is the correct moment to make the bird fall in order to hit the lowering slope instead of the top of the previous hill.

I've been without a console for a few years now and been just fine. Only thing I really miss is PS2 Winning Eleven and Socom. The fact that those two series struggled with the jump to next gen kind of soured me on console gaming for a while.dream said:
I'm perfectly happy with an iPod touch for gaming, email, apps, music, etc. Stuff like Infinity Blade, Mad Skills MX, and Shibuya suits me just fine at this stage of life. Only reason I have a Touch and a cell phone (and not just an iPhone) is that I'm one of these old school suckers that hates paying for data plans.

Checkers/Chess with a big twist and neon graphics that aren't boring plus engaging "campaign".cyclenut said:Thanks for the heads up. Will give it a try.
Edit: Oh, so its like checkers. Neat.
Seriously, the game is very good and I don't even play those boardgames, my last foray in a Chess game was Interplay's Battle Chess on the Amiga 500

In the end I think plenty of genres are matched in quality and many are even surpassed. Some stand out titles can't even exist on DS such as Eliss, Pocket Legends or even Aralon.ari said:
iOS clearly matters, everyone just seems to have difficulty agreeing on what that significance means. That fear appears to have almost single handedly driven Sony's strategy, from commercials, minis, Xperia Play and the PS Suite to many of components of NGP. It confuses developers like EA and Capcom. It allows literal overnight successes like Tiny Wings.
It's fun to watch in any case. I win in the end no matter who wins so fuck it.
Moving on, I've hit a bit of a wall in Tiny Wings. I can't seem to progress passed 77k. Hills and dips become very narrow and once I make one slight mistake I find it's over.
Also I'm buying Battleheart now. Thanks for the sale news. If I don't like it I'm blaming you all!
Anyone ever heard of Robot Dogs? It's a super simple but completely awesome fast action twitch game and it's free. I'm currently number one on the GC leaderboards and would like some competition, so if anyone wants to challenge me, send me a GC friend request to my GAF name.

Just downloaded it and gave it a try, got 400-something on my first shot. Seems kind of... boring? I dunno, I'll give it another go tomorrow.Shearie said:

To echo previous comments: "Longest Fever: 33.2s" - FFFFFFUUUU.
If you're about to reach the seventh island for the first time and somebody sends you a text message, is it okay to never talk to that person again?
(She's lucky I did it on the next go. Lucky indeed.)

I think it's really fun but it is super simple since all you're doing is tapping the left or right side of the screen when a corresponding enemy appears. I guess I just like the tense twitch gameplay and the goofy artstyle but I'm clearly in the minority since there's only 300 people on the leaderboards.
