game is very buggy! control locks, enemy AI turns off, your team members disappear, enemies get invisible.... Im just in the beginning, its my first playthrough. Graphics on ipod 4g is terrible! worse then nova 1. Still worth on sale, but no more then that
maybe on iphones, ipads or so its different story, but on the ipod 4 I dont like what I see. Locations are nicely open, but I still prefer the more clean corridors of the first game:-( I played only 2 levels so maybe it gets better, Ive heard its a long game
Ok, now Im at the first allien level... this is nova the way it should be! The first crisis-like levels give the wrong impression... The game IS GOOD!
actually it looks that only the first 2 missions are in a large areas , so the framerate is not that good. Mission 3 or 4 gets like the old ones, dark corridors and that stuff, so it plays and looks very good. I dont know what comes later anyway.
Im not saying you're wrong, because that's your opinion, but I prefer gangstar rio (iPad 3) over nova 3.
I'de like to buy this, but I know it will never find its way onto my device. Sometimes I wish these huge games had NON-universal builds, so that I wouldn't be forced to download assests I don't require. I'm surprised Apple hasn't developed a method to package apps in a way that, when downloaded from the wifi store, only the necessary assets for the given device are transferred (w/the missing elements DL'ed automatically to one's computer when the device is syncing, or automatically DL'ed if you have that option set).
I'd mentioned this waay back at the time of owning an 8g Touch when I got a sense of what we all see in today's combined/bloated game's. Maybe I wasn't posting it articulately enough or whatever but very few understood what I was referring to in regards to the all-in-one game (universal) for every device. Now have owned a 64G'r and still have issues with even bigger games now. On topic, did get this game for the dollar price and controls seem ok with me. Glad to have got it and will jump into it very soon, (other pending games). Didn't care for the first NOVA so was apprehensive but no worries after trying it out.
64 Gigs...Ya think NOVA 3 would run on my 80 GB iPod Classic Yeah, I'm rocking a 16 Gb 4S as my primary device; that only leaves 12-13 free. As much as we all dream of "Oblivion-like" games released for ios; we can't all spare the 10+ Gigs such games require nowadays.
Noticed this dropped in price, no space to purchase on the Ipad and away from the laptop for a few days, now its back up in price. So much for the PC free computing. Whish there was an option to purchase and download later. Oh well its dropped now once to this price so it wont be long before it does it again..
You can always purchase, begin the download, cancel, and then delete. It would then be in your purchase history and available for future downloading. That's what I did.
^^ what he said..i'm always doing this then keep my files on an external hard drive for future use..you'll never know when a developer will suddenly pull-out their app in the appstore *cough*tetris*cough*
I clicked to purchase and greyed out, it waited and then I got a popup saying that the storage was low and gave me an option to look at the settings. After that the appstore purchase price was 69p in green again? Guess something else is wrong, probably a reset needed on the Ipad
