Been watching this thread grow for a while. Had to join the club and redownload the original and got in the 100s for hard difficulty. Forgot how fun the game was. Can't wait for the sequel!
Great news and highly interesting info, all of it. These missions, are those the ones that will also offer tidbits of lore and background, or/and is that built into endless? (You might recall, I was one of the lore ne... uhm, enthusiasts of BH1 ) And yeah, I think co-op versus another AI-controlled base would be a very nice addition down the bug-gered road. Kinda like doing a quick game of Starcraft or Age of Mythology against the AI with a pal (well, not gameplay-wise, obviously, but the kind of local match-based single/co-op play that is largely absent from today's mix of MMOs, competitive online games and highly visual, linear and short single player console experiences).
CO-OP SKIRMISH Ok, I both DO and DON'T get why you didn't include co-op vs AI base vs base. It would be really nice to have it - I remember playing certain games with my friend, for example we 2 vs 6 hardest difficulty AI and we still had 15% handicap (that meant less health and firepower for us) and those days were just awesome. It would be nice to have optional handicap in BH2 as well once this mode will be added just becouse it can add as much challenge as you want - I liked the fact I didn't know if we are going to win or not (Talked about modded Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour) DIFFICULTY I don't like those "automatic difficulty" at all becouse I like challenge and this system ruins it. I remember how one game solved it in a nice simple way. There was switch in options to turn it off and if you did it, slider with fixed difficulty appeared . I think it was in Reckless Racing 2. At least option to let it be dynamic but keep the difficulty a little bit above of what it should be? ENDLESS IN BH2 VS BH1 I like the fact it won't last as long as in BH1 If you couldn't (and yes, I couldn't) finish it without taking any breaks, you were not warmed up for the current difficulty you were in and if you couldn't adapt quickly, you lost PROMO I'm staying tuned for more info!
You'll just have to trust us on the difficulty - the in-game difficulty itself is never "autobalanced", we just dynamically offer harder and harder missions based on your skill level, in such a way that you will always be challenged, but never come across an impossible barrier where you can't continue anymore (you WILL be presented with hard missions, but we reward you with better rewards for completing them without losing, as opposed to punishing you for not being able to beat them). You will also always have options for different difficulties (some easier, and some harder). Besides, anyone who has played our games should not be worried about being challenged Historically we've gotten WAY more complaints about too difficult of gameplay rather than the other way around... but we like a challenge
Yahoo, only 18 more days - and some promos to boot! Just to clarify: I think it was mentioned the game will be free with extra characters as iaps, was that right? If so, will you have a Deluxe version that you can purchase outright! I loved the first two games so much (literally two of my three all-time favourites on ios - the other being Pocket Rpg), so would love to gift this game to others, but you can't do that with iap.
This. Most people, myself included, would be more likely to buy a deluxe version with everyone already unlocked
You can unlock everything just by playing, you can only speed up things with iap and it was told that you'll get diamonds (the inap currency) while playing
That's it, hits the nail on the head. Like in Super Smash Bros. You pay a lot more premium cost for that game and half the fun is unlocking all the characters, especially if you do not cheat and look up on youtube how to do it This is not the type of game that is going to continue to beg you to pay and buy more credits or whatever. It makes complete sense for a game like this or Heroes and Castles.... Expedite the unlock process. The hate for all free to play games is ridiculous.
You make a good point there. I guess there's a side where it's like, "Yes! I get to play these awesome bug right away!" And then there's "I feel accomplished for having unlocked that bug!" I'm going to be getting BH2 no matter the cost or the items along with it
Doctor Mario was the first character I had to unlock in Melee and I remember that the fight was very difficult (still a novice player when the first challenger approaching message appeared) and I actually had to fight him a few times before beating and unlocking him. Since then he became my main. You can't find the same experience in most fighting games these days. It's either DLC or everything unlocked since the start. Buuuuut to stay on topic, let me tell you that "the hate for all free to play games" isn't ridiculous at all. Timers, IAP-driven games, more timers... I think we've seen enough BS in "free to play" games (*cof*Glu*cof*) to at least be more cautious with them.
I think a good compromise would maybe be an IAP that reduces the star level you need to reach to unlock the later characters or somehing. Hmmm I feel like Foursaken said some heroes won't be unlockable through regular play or just ridiculously far off. I can't remember... Foursaken, are there any heroes you can't unlock through regular play? Or maybe you can only unlock a certain number of heroes or something? I remember Jared saying that the unlocks seemed random or like a lottery.
Hey everyone, we'd like to start running a promotion to give people a chance to play Bug Heroes 2 before it hits the App Store! All you have to do is post here to enter the drawing, and we'll choose a few winners on Thursday!
Hi..... I would be rather delighted to play Bug Heroes 2 before it releases.... I'm a big fan. I like all your games and stuff and playing them is fun and stuff. I think BH2 will be fun and stuff. Basketball is fun. Thank you.
I am doing everything in my power to promote this game to my friends and family. I want to see this be huge. Absolutely would love the opportunity to get it beforehand and write up about it, get started and promote it even more. Thanks for considering
