WAY too much card interaction on a given turn to make that anything but an exercise in frustration while you wait a week for someone to respond to someone else's attack or when you play cards that EVERYBODY has to respond to. No thanks. Drucifer Well-Known Member Mar 16, 2010 1,568 1 38 Canada #6 Drucifer, Dec 28, 2011 True but I think the biggest issue here is making sure they simply get online fixed, as it stands I've never been able to complete a game anyway. iPadisGreat Well-Known Member Dec 10, 2012 2,391 0 0 #7 iPadisGreat, Jan 14, 2013 Bang! and Bang!

Appletini Well-Known Member Jan 8, 2011 2,564 0 0 Ankh-Morpork #8 Appletini, Jan 14, 2013 The HD version is also superior in that it allows for 8-player games, whereas the standard version is limited to 5. iPadisGreat Well-Known Member Dec 10, 2012 2,391 0 0 #9 iPadisGreat, Jan 14, 2013 Ddn't know that the HD version had eight players. This changes the game, and I would have downloaded it earlier if I had known. coconutbowling Well-Known Member Dec 8, 2008 3,208 58 38 Student Pennsylvania #10 coconutbowling, Jan 15, 2013 Great, gonna pick this game up! Is there any news on more expansions being added? Appletini Well-Known Member Jan 8, 2011 2,564 0 0 Ankh-Morpork #11 Appletini, Jan 15, 2013 Not at the moment, but Bang! already has the Dodge City expansion added in (plus a promo card character), and that's the only real "necessary" one. High Noon is the only other expansion that would really be worth adding, but that focuses on a single new game mechanic rather than notably expanding the existing gameplay. The only real request I'd make is for the developers to add in all of the missing characters (of which there are many, from both the base game and the Dodge City expansion). acrotran Well-Known Member Jul 31, 2010 741 0 0 #12 acrotran, Jan 15, 2013 I wouldn't buy this game because it has a lot of problems and it hasn't been updated in the past year, so it's probably been abandoned. Appletini Well-Known Member Jan 8, 2011 2,564 0 0 Ankh-Morpork #13 Appletini, Jan 15, 2013 Wrong: the game doesn't crash or have any issue with translation or rule errors, and it has achievements and leaderboards, a solid AI and multiplayer that works just fine. What exactly constitutes this "lot of problems"? Wrong: it was updated less than a year ago. I do wish people would stop using this term as if it were supposed to mean something, especially in situations where it clearly doesn't apply - this isn't the first half of a work-in-progress or the first episode of a never-to-be-finished series. If a game doesn't need to be updated, it doesn't need to be updated; it doesn't suddenly stop working or become unplayable because it doesn't have a vague "Bugs fixed" update every month. Some of the most solid, fun, bug-free games available in the app store were last updated back in 2010, and they still wouldn't qualify as "abandoned" just because the developer hasn't posted an entirely unnecessary update in the last six months. nkarafo Well-Known Member Mar 2, 2011 860 9 18 #14 nkarafo, Jan 15, 2013 Yes, I think Bang! is just fine. Of course we would like some more expansions or characters add ons but it's not broken and it doesn't have problems. Maybe the user that claimed that, would have an old ios version.. I don't know.. iPadisGreat Well-Known Member Dec 10, 2012 2,391 0 0 #15 iPadisGreat, Feb 15, 2013 Don't exaggerate. Bang! had six price changes in December 2012 alone. An abandoned game won't show price changes. (You must log in or sign up to post here.) Show Ignored Content Share This Page Tweet Your name or email address: Do you already have an account?
