This one any good? Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Drummerboycroy Well-Known Member Apr 2, 2012 4,172 0 36 Clinician Maine! #2 Drummerboycroy, Nov 22, 2012 Gah! I was hoping you were going to tell me if it was worth considering! Impressions have been a bit scattered (I know, right? That never happens.), with some declaring it the best game ever and some, well, not so much... DBC Gunlock Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2010 472 0 16 #3 Gunlock, Nov 22, 2012 I bought this game a couple of months ago and I deleted it after 15 minutes. On my 3GS the game had some serious performance issues, especially with explosions (fps dropped down to a total slideshow). Im buying the iPhone 5 in a week or two, so I will finally play the game. From what Ive read on the internet its a great, deep game but a bit rough around the edges in some areas. The UI is cramped so Im guessing it is more enjoyable on a bigger screen. violentv Well-Known Member Nov 4, 2010 912 0 16 #4 violentv, Nov 22, 2012 Should play the HD version with improved models/textures instead if you are going to play it on an iPhone 5 =p Even though it means you will have to double dip. Gunlock Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2010 472 0 16 #5 Gunlock, Nov 22, 2012 Naah, the HD version is 5 bucks, plus I'm a gameplay-over-graphics gamer anyway so I'll stick with the standard version Maybe if the game would turn out to be really, really good I could go for the HD version just to support the devs. Connector Well-Known Member May 6, 2012 15,512 1 0 In the Chatroom http://thechatroom.freeforums.net/ #6 Connector, Nov 22, 2012 Ahh too bad the hd version isn't on sale, otherwise I would have bought it like all the huge apps I bought this week. nightc1 Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2012 4,362 0 0 AL #7 nightc1, Nov 22, 2012 The last update added iAds and IAP. The IAP looks ok, but does anyone know how intrusive the ads are? I still have Galaxy on Fie 1&2 as well as other similar games. jeffyg3 Well-Known Member Mar 22, 2010 1,251 0 36 #8 jeffyg3, Nov 22, 2012 Ack, thanks for mentioning it, was about to buy...iAds is a definitive no on pushing the buy button nightc1 Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2012 4,362 0 0 AL #9 nightc1, Nov 22, 2012 That was the one red light that I had against it. For a free game, I can accept ads. But in a paid game it better be very unobtrusive. september Well-Known Member Sep 14, 2012 2,673 0 0 #10 september, Nov 23, 2012 I've looked at grabbing this a few times, the iAds thing is a definite put off though so haven't bothered. It's a shame because it actually looks like it could be alright, but with ads I'm not even willing to get it on sale unfortunately. andsoitgoes Well-Known Member Jun 30, 2010 2,673 58 48 In a van, down by the river! #11 andsoitgoes, Nov 23, 2012 I haven't so much as looked at Galaxy on Fire 2, the fact that the HD version isn't on sale is an issue, but the addition of iAds solidifies the pass. Drummerboycroy Well-Known Member Apr 2, 2012 4,172 0 36 Clinician Maine! #12 Drummerboycroy, Nov 23, 2012 Ads in a paid game = no thanks. I might not be able to keep this trend from continuing, but I can surely choose not to support it.

I did own it before the update, but deleted and reinstalled since the update, and haven't seen any. Not on the main menu, not in the pause menu, not in-game... No idea where the iAds are, but I haven't come across any yet. Granted, I am only about 6 hours into it... But I thought it was worth sharing. Drummerboycroy Well-Known Member Apr 2, 2012 4,172 0 36 Clinician Maine! #14 Drummerboycroy, Nov 23, 2012 Weird. Kind of hope/wish the developer would weigh in. It would be a bummer to pan the game for something that isn't even happening... DBC ninjackid Well-Known Member May 27, 2010 9,380 2 38 #15 ninjackid, Nov 23, 2012 So, with that being said, would you say it's sill worth a purchase?

BTW---the UI has improved a lot since the initial release, so if you scan the main game thread, take a look at the newer posts or the HD version thread. =o) (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
