Pepelutin Well-Known Member Feb 14, 2013 308 0 0 Music teacher Belgium #2 Pepelutin, Feb 14, 2013 I was about to buy, but it's still not translated in french... Someone can tell if the language is complicated or not? I can understand a lot, but games like baldur's gate are really too hard (And they promise to translate the game since months). I was waiting so much this! andsoitgoes Well-Known Member Jun 30, 2010 2,673 58 48 In a van, down by the river! #3 andsoitgoes, Feb 14, 2013 I've heard it can sometimes be a little confusing, but I haven't played it and can't really say for certain. What I can say is that a trip to Board Game Geeks and a post asking for help might get you what you need.. Based on the feedback I've seen, it seems very worth it, and even if you can't get the full rules, BGG will certainly help out getting things figured out. Pepelutin Well-Known Member Feb 14, 2013 308 0 0 Music teacher Belgium #4 Pepelutin, Feb 14, 2013 Thanks, you're right, i'll ask to BBG. I think i can manage it, but when you're with friends and want to have a good time, it's a bit hard to translate everything. Thanks anyway! the9quad Well-Known Member Apr 27, 2011 968 0 0 #5 the9quad, Feb 14, 2013 Did TA ever review this one or where there just too many quality endless runners on their plate to review? cofunguy Well-Known Member Sep 24, 2012 825 0 0 #6 cofunguy, Feb 14, 2013 Instant buy!

TA can only do so many reviews a week, and they know the vast majority of visitors don't care about complex euro-boardgames. I guess I'm part of the problem...I left a bunch of comments in the RR3 story, which every ios site will cover. Having said that, they do review some pretty heavy, niche market games; Battle of the Bulge is a perfect example. the9quad Well-Known Member Apr 27, 2011 968 0 0 #8 the9quad, Feb 15, 2013 Last edited: Feb 15, 2013 Oh no they review some niche games, look at some of the stuff they review. They do however only review those games that happen to interest the reviewers particular niche. Thing is you'd think they'd review games no matter the niche especially when they are considered to be the best example of it. And they really o review some crap, no kidding. the9quad Well-Known Member Apr 27, 2011 968 0 0 #9 the9quad, Feb 15, 2013 People will try new things based on reviews and exposure btw.

I just got this game last week and been playing it non stop on my iPad Retina ever since on 2x, personally I didn't notice any difference. It's the type of thing where if you actively look for the little details you will see it but it doesn't interfere with my enjoyment of this game. It's an Awsome game and the tutorial does a good job of easing you into the game. Any boardgame fan would be missing out if you didn't buy this on sale, or even at full price. It's a top notch game and this is top notch translation of it Appletini Well-Known Member Jan 8, 2011 2,564 0 0 Ankh-Morpork #14 Appletini, Feb 15, 2013 Last edited: Feb 15, 2013 Please refrain from posting nonsense. The universal update is scheduled for March, so considering we're still a month away from its release, there's no point freaking out and accusing the developer of being deceptive. Stone Age looks great at 2x on newer iPads that aren't running on outdated hardware; the reason it looks bad on the iPad 2 and iPad mini is because those devices always use non-Retina assets for iPhone/iPod games, regardless of whether or not the original has Retina graphics.

Just to confirm your perception, I redownloaded Stone Age and the text is more legible now compared to when I posted about it patches ago back in January. Appletini Well-Known Member Jan 8, 2011 2,564 0 0 Ankh-Morpork #16 Appletini, Feb 15, 2013 Oh, please, give the victim routine a rest; nobody was "attacking" you. However, not only were you making a blanket statement telling people not to pick up the game for their iPad, you actually decided to go so far as to insinuate that the developers have been lying about the upcoming universal update, so yes, you deserved to be called out for deliberately posting nonsense and misinformation. As for the game, the 1.2 update has just hit the store: - iPhone 5 full screen support (iPad support scheduled for next update!) - Tap-to-add during placement phase (no requirement to drag & drop!) - Auto-feeding in multiplayer games (all players in a game must update to v1.2 and above to access) - Highlights during collection phase - "News" page on main menu for Stone Age updates and League notifications - Adjusted Elo scoring to account for ties in League Play - Ability to open overlays when waiting for opponent in League Play - Visual enhancements - Minor bug fixes - General usability and performance improvements Greyskull Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2009 5,588 1 38 Photographer/Social Sciences adjunct/sweet sweet l Fort Lauderdale #17 Greyskull, Feb 15, 2013 It is nice to know that looking good doesn't necessarily apply to my iPad mini. I have that awesome Cthulu board game; bought the iphone version before I got my mini. Too hard to read the text on my phone; too low res to play on my ipad. That being said, I would be interested in this (given the impending update) if someone explained the gameplay mechanics a bit. Well, that and how fun It is as a single-player game; always hit and miss when it comes to boardgames. acrotran Well-Known Member Jul 31, 2010 741 0 0 #18 acrotran, Feb 15, 2013 Don't exaggerate.

Pepelutin Well-Known Member Feb 14, 2013 308 0 0 Music teacher Belgium #20 Pepelutin, Feb 15, 2013 I answer to myself : i've written to campfire, and they told me that french translation was not planned for now, because they were focusing on the ipad version. So, that's honest from them, and i appreciate that. I'm going to buy it to support them, and because i like that kind of behavior, not like beamdog and baldur's gate. If something can not be done, you don't try to lie and pretend it can be. And it's a good news for those like me who have an ipad (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
