Frankly I am sorry I bought the game for more than $2.99. FPE Well-Known Member Sep 25, 2010 3,031 0 0 World, now Belgium #3 FPE, Jan 27, 2011 I am not .... But I will never buy a game y That I cannot play immediately if not on sales .... medianotzu Well-Known Member Nov 21, 2009 3,803 9 36 #4 medianotzu, Jan 27, 2011 That is a wise policy. I am not upset about the price drop, but to me, with the bugs the game has it is really hard to enjoy. I certainly did not have $10 worth of fun with it, in terms of relative value compared with other iOS games. I had about $1 worth of fun with it, and hope to get some more enjoyment from it if and when it is updated in the future. Dazarath Well-Known Member Mar 21, 2010 1,745 0 36 #5 Dazarath, Jan 27, 2011 Nope, you weren't. I appreciate the info. After reading some of the posts in the PQ2 thread, I'm wondering if I should even get this game at all. Many of the impressions don't sound good, and I'm not sure I have reason to believe that the issues will get fixed in a timely matter. medianotzu Well-Known Member Nov 21, 2009 3,803 9 36 #6 medianotzu, Jan 27, 2011 You might just pick it up on Steam and play it on your computer if you want the experience unmarred by bugs and poor implementation. MidianGTX Well-Known Member Jun 16, 2009 3,738 10 38 #7 MidianGTX, Jan 27, 2011 So let's get this straight, the problem with the game is in the implementation and it's not just because you don't like Puzzle Quest itself? medianotzu Well-Known Member Nov 21, 2009 3,803 9 36 #8 medianotzu, Jan 27, 2011 I assume you're talking to me...the reason I gave up on it was the bugginess of it. The game itself, when it wasn't screwed up because of the bugs seemed good, but I'll admit that it didn't appeal to me as much as the first Puzzle Quest, which by the way, was not only one of my favorite iOS games, but one of my favorite games period, and that was with sub-par implementation as well. The very linear nature of Puzzle Quest 2 and the seeming lack of customization allowed to your character was kind of disappointing. I suppose the battles themselves are a bit deeper, but nothing in that regard blew me away. I will be happy to give it another go when it is updated to further improve on the loading times and kill the major bugs. I will also add that it's supposed to be a better experience on the iPad. I wouldn't know, but I won't say it isn't worth $4.99 if you plan to play it on an iPad. For me, however, it isn't worth $4.99 in its current form if you're playing it on the iPhone. But anyone may of course feel free to disagree with me. jeffyg3 Well-Known Member Mar 22, 2010 1,251 0 36 #9 jeffyg3, Jan 27, 2011 Nice price drop, but all the bad reviews are pushing me away from the buy button. SirAwesome Well-Known Member May 20, 2010 976 0 0 #10 SirAwesome, Jan 28, 2011 Im tempted by the game too. I trust the TA forum goers more so for their thoughts/opinions but didn't the game receive pretty good reviews across the board from the various websites ?

The app info was changed to indicate there being an update forthcoming, so I don't think that Namco has written the game off. medianotzu Well-Known Member Nov 21, 2009 3,803 9 36 #13 medianotzu, Jan 28, 2011 I'm sure they will update it. But I'm also sure they will put it back on sale in the not-too-distant future. medianotzu Well-Known Member Nov 21, 2009 3,803 9 36 #14 medianotzu, Jan 28, 2011 It did get good reviews, maybe universally. But I'm pretty sure all those reviews were directed towards the experience on an iPad. My understanding from those who've played it on their iPads is that it is a significantly more enjoyable experience on that device. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
