Hostage Negotiator for Negative User Reviews

✓ It cheats, because that is the only way it can beat youYou make the right play, and in response you somehow always get a crappy die roll that ruins things for you, or just the wrong terror card shows up to undo everything you’ve accomplished. Always. There is no ‘AI’ in this game - it just cheats against you so it can ‘win’..Flattened SlugVersion: 1.4.2

✓ Probably okay if you know the rules before playing.Interface seemed clunky and unpolished. Even though I enabled the tutorial in the settings, I did not get any help during gameplay. Probably would have enjoyed this more if I had received help or had a rulebook to look at..LinicakeVersion: 1.2.3

✓ It's okayThe game itself is pretty good, but it's luck heavy dependent on dice rolls. The app looks a little dated. When you roll the dice, the dice move really slow. Also, if the dice roll onto a corner, it's automatically considered a failed roll. They should be rerolled because it pushes the already bleak odds further away. Animation of the cards could be improved, but more importantly, there should be an option to either turn them off or dramatically increase their speed..DaSi14Version: 1.1.0

✓ DisappointingThe dice rolls are terrible, it feels like the game wants you to loose. Very rarely do you get a good roll..Joe mangleVersion: 1.4.2

✓ MehWay to dependent on luck..Warren in VancouverVersion: 1.4.2

✓ Looks and plays like it was made in 1993It is good at simulating the card game, but the software looks antequated and is a bit clunky on ipad. It was clearly made for PC and was hastily ported. It’s a fun, but not polished experience..ThinbuddhaVersion: 1.4.2

✓ Too many bugsTried to play 4 games, each ended a game breaking bug. It would be fun if it was playable..Cube2the3rdVersion: 1.1.3

✓ No tutorial on phoneI see the tutorial when playing on iPad but not iPhone. It is enabled in the settings but doesn’t actually come up when playing on phone.Crashm0nkeyVersion: 1.4.2

✓ I want to love this gameI have really bad luck with dice in real life, but I really think the algorithm for the dice in this game is designed to roll bad 90% of the time. Other then the this I like the game..Ebp921Version: 1.4.2

✓ Too hardThe game is too hard, I think that dices are not well balanced, and it s the same with the physical game, it s a good solo game.Iron6272Version: 1.4.2

✓ Cards too small for iPhone and iPad miniAlthough there are some good UI decisions (the drag and drop works well), cards are impossible to read zoomed-out, difficult to read zoomed-in. Some possibilities for zoomed-out: - no flavor text - title only - title with brief icon reminders - remove "face" on card because these are all the same anyway Some possibilities for zoomed-in: - scrollable with flavor text "below the fold".LetsGetTrivialVersion: 1.4.2

✓ Bad use of visualsYou know, when you have one zoom feature, that’s good. When it uses less than a third of the screen, that’s bad. When you have TWO zoom features, you are already saying that your first zoom was just rubbish. And when the second still uses less than half, you are just nuts. Overall, a very bad use of screen real estate makes this feel like there was no attention at all to visual design..Koala404Version: 1.1.2

✓ Good start, looking forward to improvementsI have the physical game with all expansions. This is a great way to enjoy the game "on the fly" during my commute, waiting for meetings, etc... Like most all new apps, it needs a little polish. The recent update (hopefully) fixed the irritating issue found in other games with 3D dice rolling - they roll around forever and often get "stuck" on an edge. It would be great if in the settings you could just turn off 3D dice. I would rate the app a full star higher if it weren't for the microscopic (and incomplete) card titles. I realize it's not possible to show card text at the app's resolution and that holding on a card magnifies it however, if you can't read the name of the card in the first place (the names are literally incomplete) then you wind up having to press and hold each and every card, each and every time..Robrob2Version: 1.1.2

✓ 70%??I’m glad they insist the luck isn’t dominant. When I finally win one game using the exact moves they suggest for me, then I’ll believe their claim that you should beat the first abductor ~70% of the time. Lol.FineRedMistVersion: 1.3.1
