1 vs 100 (XBLA)

[toythatkills]

But it probably does make a difference. It just doesn't make as much difference as people were expecting. They believe that just because they play EP all week they have some divine right to be The One, which is not the case.

[Brats]

Maybe. It would be nice to know what the difference is though (i.e., if I play for ten hours on EP, does my chance go up from 0.00001% to 0.00002%?).

[Jebus]

It'd be nice if when it comes out of beta, they explain the game more. Scoring processes, selection processes, what actual difference extended play makes etc.

[Brats]

I agree, but I wonder if they won't do that in case it makes things too confusing. The game is meant to appeal to the less savvy gamer. I remember first reading the text description of how 1v100 worked and it sounded like the most convoluted thing ever. Once you play a bit, it all made sense.

Possibly there is a complex scoring system under the hood, but MS want to keep it to themselves. I guess the majority of players don't care.

[Jebus]

I'm not sure I agree mate, I had a go last weekend and the number of users playing has dropped dramatically. Opening few weeks there were 70-80,000 people playing. The other day there were just over 20,000.

[EvilBoris]

Yeah it is definately dropping.

I'm still unsure at how people are managing the scores they are, it seems very inconsistant.

[toythatkills]

I'm totally totally bored by it now, I've played the full 2 hours every live night, 8-12 full evenings of extended play and I've got nothing and only know ONE person who made it to the mob, on a night where prizes weren't redeemable.

So for me, I'm done, the miniscule chance of winning some MS points, maybe, are outweighed by the mind numbingly simple questions, questionable score-mechanic, repetitive voiceovers and adverts, dull stat breaks that nobody cares about that you can bring up mid round anyway and plain and simple idiots that clearly never attended school.

Either way, as I've said, tonight's my last night, it's not fun for me, it's dull. The questions are almost always too easy and it's depressing seeing so many numpties all in one place.

I had a go last weekend...

[Jebus]

OH NO I'M A WALKING CONTRADICTION!

I was bored and ill so played for 45 minutes with my wife before we got fed up again.

That okay?

Edit: Quite impressed you actually bothered to go back and quote all that. Bravo.

But is that because they are cheesed off about the scoring or the novelty has just worn off?

Anyway, less people = greater chance for those left.

[toythatkills]

No offence meant or anything

[Jebus]

None taken.

I personally think its more a case of what TTK quoted me on earlier. Nobody knows anyone who has won anything, and they are bored. But it could be all of the above.

[Dazzyman]

We have also had repeated questions Ive noticed thats when I thought nah Ive had enough lol

[Mayhem]

Yeah... but only in the extended plays so far. Not seen any repeats in the Live blocks yet. I made it into the mob at the weekend having only played that day for the entire week. Luck? Maybe, but if I play this weekend, I might get in again... and third time lucky for a prize...

[yesteryeargames]

ive been consistant in my correct answrs and fast 170 average speed, and ive played every week in the prize shows, and ive not been in the mob once

i think it should be that if there are players who have never been picked, they should get priority over people who have before,

how do people get 200 instant answers? for example i know the correct choice say B for example, i tap it track and feilt style, and my answer is still only 180 odd tops? do peple use turbo pads ot somthing?


i disagree that the ones and the mob are all super intelligent, most of them get easy questions wrong,

[toythatkills]

It's like you haven't read the thread at all.

Can anyone get into it tonight? I keep getting an error message that says it's full, of all things. Not likely.
