iPad or PC?

Post by jonpfl »

All,

If I buy it on one platform, can I get a deal for the other? I LOVE Panzer Corp and just stumbled upon this and LOVE the idea of using my iPad

Thx

As always, which platform will you prefer to play it on most?

I have a laptop even though I only take it to a friend's place primarily. I got the laptop mainly so I could take my computer and use it from the deluxe comfort of a lazyboy.

Because only a fool really convinced of his own idiocy actually thinks sitting in an office chair in front of a desk for several hours to play a wargame is the ideal.

With my purchase of a tablet (not an iPad though) I now have the even great pleasure of running some games via the tablet (as even a laptop can be bulky and imposing).

Where will you be relaxing playing the game the most? Buy to accomodate that choice.

Come on people, I am told we are all adults here. Stop bugging Slitherine for a few bucks. It's a few bucks for crying out loud. The game is solid, there is no mystery as to whether it is any good or not.

If you are seriously questioning whether YOU will like it or not, get the demo, answer that question before engaging your wallet.

These games are how Sliutherine's people make a living. Would you like it if customers at your work place wanted you to give them a bargain on something petty in price tag at YOUR expense?

It's 20 bucks for god's sake, you're not 13 and contemplating blowing a month's allowance.
20 bucks is actually NOTHING in today's world. Heck 200 bucks barely gets on my radar.

If you want multiple versions, just buy them.

Just a quick question before I buy. I have no problem playing games in an office chair on my PC and actually enjoy it.

It is just a simple question as to whether there is some sort of deal for buying both versions on different platforms.

I think my post is a legitimate question without all this!!

This has been asked a few times and its a legitimate question but unfortunately Apples policy forbids anything like this and their system gives no way to do it even if they hadn't forbidden it. It's seen as a way to cut Apple out or a way to manipulate the charts. So the short answer is no. You had to treat them as different platforms like you would a PC and X360 or PS3.

Ok, thank you for the quick response!!

I will never understand why someone feels the need to berate someone for asking a simple question when they could just say "yes" or "no"

I will probably purchase it for my iPad so I can do moves at work :-)

Just bought it on the iPad so I can do moves at work!!

Looking forward to learning to play this game after seeing it has gotten 5 stars from 15 reviewers on iTunes (plus I love to support real games, not apps!!)

Hoping Panzer Corps comes next on the iPad!!

Thx
