Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

What is this game?

[–]Xerociv 5 points6 points ago

Plague Inc., a popular game for iOS devices.

[–]Dpaterso 1 point2 points ago

I have never played Plague inc, but i suspect its very similar to Pandemic 2 for anyone on a device that supports flash

[–]Potato-baby 2 points3 points ago

DAMN YOU GREENLAND!!

[–]Mugabuga 4 points5 points ago

"Yes! Now that we have everyone being polite and saying please, we can send in our real virus!" mumbling in the background "What? That was our real virus? God damnit Jason! You have one job! One fucking job!"

[–]E1Dav1d[S] 0 points1 point ago

jaja! This made me laugh out loud.

[–]payne6 1 point2 points ago

I love that game I failed about 5-7 times. Finally I had enough and named my disease "ass aids" and won.

[–]E1Dav1d[S] 1 point2 points ago

I failed bunch of times with serious names that I actually sat down and thought about. I wanted the virus that killed the world to be EPIC........eventually I started naming them JustDie, Diiiiie, Kill, and finally Please.

[–]Noizla 1 point2 points ago

Is this an iOS ripoff of Pandemic?

[–]sweatythong 2 points3 points ago

Yes, but it's more realistic and has more symptoms and is better in general.

[–]Noizla 0 points1 point ago

Fair enough i guess.

[–]alexia_muriel 1 point2 points ago

Madagascar always was my downfall in pandemic

[–]Systemcode 1 point2 points ago

It took me way more than 10 times...

[–]E1Dav1d[S] 0 points1 point ago

No shame in that, lots of ways to lose, few to win.

[–]Systemcode 0 points1 point ago

I found the best strategy that works for every disease except Bio-Weapon. Use all DNA on transmission, devolve any mutations that happen. Once it tells you every one has been infected, let all hell loose. I suggest going Coughing, sneezing, and then their trees up until Coma. The earth will die faster than you've ever fucking seen, and as long as you keep devolve mutations up till every one is infected, you won't be spotted, so no cure will start.

[–]E1Dav1d[S] 0 points1 point ago

But in virus it COSTS 5 points to devolve so its harder. If you devolve too much you will never make up the points to build up to organ failure and coma.

[–]Systemcode 0 points1 point ago

Actually I never devolved on virus. On virus I used most my points on getting Cure resistance stuff as fast as possible with some transmission perks on the side. I next upgraded symptoms, I just let them mutate. I beat the virus level first try, and hit some thing like 30,000 score. It's my high score of all my diseases.

[–]PixelCannon 0 points1 point ago

what game is this? Where can I play it?

[–]E1Dav1d[S] 0 points1 point ago

Plague Inc. Download it in the app store for the iPhone or iPad.

[–]Omnifluence 0 points1 point ago

Plague Inc pls

[–]elderezlo 0 points1 point ago

And my mom always said it wouldn't kill me to say please...

[–]xNPurpleDT 0 points1 point ago

It's a real easy game to play. Idk why people have such a hard time with it. Most important thing, when you get the notification that ur virus has mutated, while the popup is still there, go and delete the symptom. Just focus on air, water, and rodent. After everyone is infected, put all points straight to organ failure and cure stopping traits. Beat the whole game like that...

[–]CANTTURNCAPSOFF 0 points1 point ago

Maybe name it "Would You Kindly"?

[–]Varnishedchrome 0 points1 point ago

How does it compare to Pandemic 2.5?

[–]Systemcode 2 points3 points ago

Much much better. More organized, killer graphics, more features.

[–]Canardlaquay 0 points1 point ago

It's just like scumbag ice island: Kill countries like America, India, China Greenland survives with 40k population.

[–]MrMcSir -1 points0 points ago

Should have called it "gooby pls".
