In my opinion don't think they could have priced it any better. That's exactly what they needed to do. 3 bucks for 6 months is totally worth it in my eyes. And by the fact that they included 3 months free. I'm fairly confident/hopeful that theirs gonna be a decent amount of content.
Hmm, where to begin. Hacker? No, not me. I actually have too much to do in real life to waste my time hacking a video game. I have a wife, a crowd of friends, a job, a band, 2 cars, etc. Hacking a cartoon world is pretty low on my list of things to do. As far as hackers being smart, you may be right. In fact, I'm sure some are quite clever, maybe even a few brilliant ones sprinkled in there. The problem is they are mis-guided. Someone who hacks a video game is akin to someone who knows all of the contestants on American Idol, or all of the players names on The Yankees. They have been fooled into focusing their attention on fluff, and not on what really matters. Our country is being looted by the billionaires at the top of the pyramid scheme. Our soldiers are being blown to bits for oil. They are paid mercenaries who do the bidding of the billionaires. We are fed poisonous food, are all directed to doctors who are pushing us onto anti-depressants and pain killers, and are all being robbed of anything we have of value. And the best our bright, educated youth can do is hack my account, vendor all of my gear and leave me floating in the water off the coast of Desolace. It is quite pathetic, really. All that effort for a cartoon. What will they do when they are starving to death, CONJURE UP SOME MAGE FOOD? Anonymous, Wiki-Leaks, Masters of Deception, Kevin Mitnik, those are hackers. You want to impress me? Go hack the power grid of a foreign country, wait for it to get dark, then turn on the lights in a certain pattern that when seen from space spells out "TOUCHARCADE". How about instead of allowing the Chinese to have all of OUR information, you go hack CHINA and steal all of THEIR information! That would impress me. Not spending a week breaking into a cartoon world and stealing all of the fake gold. Not impressive. As far as "powerful" goes, you could not be more wrong. Hackers require the internet to hack something. The people with the power are those billionaires who can tell the FCC to cut the internet off if they want to (see Patriot Act). Those who control the infrastructure to the internet are far more powerful than those who require it to do their bidding. You can have a fast car, but it does no good without gasoline. That type of logic applies here. Hackers are dependent on someone else, not independent of them, therefore any power they think they have is just an illusion. And I have a copy of "The Art of War" on my phone and have read it. Sun Tzu said: "Success in warfare is gained by carefully accommodating ourselves to the enemy's purpose." The TRUE enemy is all too happy to let the smart people fight over cartoon wealth while the REAL wealth is spirited away to them. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Now WHERE IS MY CARTOON WORLD? WHY DO THE CANADIANS GET IT FIRST? They're going to take all the cool names....
damn, going to be about a week before I can afford a new ipod you guys best leave lots of feedback about the game here!
After all that, I feel really bad when I say: I was just joking around lol... OMFG IT'S AWESOME TO BE CANADIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really want to try this one out. I have played Pocket Legends but I am not a big fan of the art style and gameplay. It feels a bit too disjointed to me with all the menus to switch locations. I assume it is free to play, but are there things that you have to buy or can most items be acquired just by playing? EDIT: Never mind, it seems there is a monthly subscription. If it is a dollar or two (per month) I may try it but I wouldn't pay more than that.
Check out the thread in released section it has info on pricing there . http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=92325
