Nogg's Casino - Open (Competition Underway)


Recommended Posts

Nogg were the rules changed? i was under the impression that we got to choose 1 of 12 of their partners games but i see that we have no choice. 

 

So just so we are clear

1. Nogg and Mr.X are playing Tekken Tag Tournament 2
2. Couch and Gibbo are playing Until Dawn
3. CJ and Anro are playing Splinter Cell Blacklist
4. Me and HcG are playing Star Trek

Did I get that right? Is the start date January 1st btw?

Star Trek eh, never seen the films or show. I'll see if I can pick it up today.

Thanks for that i was very confused with noggs post haha.

 

Damm you nogg, Star Trek?  :facepalm:  I don't even like the movies let alone the game lel. Well at least i found a used copy for only 14 euro's. So the price is alright ^^

Well you could forfeit your round and get 0 points i guess.

Splinter cell :facepalm:

Never played one off those before ..... I'll be setting my goal on a realistic 1pt "at lest get one trophy in your assigned game" and 5pts for buying the game :D

C'mon CJ bring home the win for group 3

There's some online trophies and some of the missions you can do co op from what I can remember :)

That is a great game guys, hope you like it! Haven't gotten very far yet because I feel that you need to sit down and take your time with this one, playing in short bursts of 30-45 mins just ruins it in my opinion. Take out an hour or 2 per play session and you'll have a blast!

Yes i'm happy with this game  :D. Found a 30 dollar copy on Gumtree. Im going to make my first run strictly story, then worry about trophies later

 

Also i had a lot of fun with splinter cell, especially the co-op which is why i chose it. Hope you enjoy

 

Do you guys think the games being played now should be taken out of everybody's list after this month? So like because I'm playing Tekken Tournament 2 should I take it out of HcG's list at the end of the month?

 

Hmmm i think so. It would keep the thread interesting. Plus i wont ever have to play Star Trek  :P

 

Im kinda 50/50 to be honest. Not entirely sure

Yeah it would keep things interesting so we don't have to hear about the same game again, I'll see what everyone else thinks.

Found my game for 12 bucks at EB, boxing day sale is still going :yay:

Holy crap batman....A lot has happened since I went to bed and woke up. You Australians are 16 hours ahead of me...

 

I'm pretty stoked for Until Dawn....been wanting a reason to play it for a while now. Just my opinion here but I think the 5 points for buying the game is kinda silly.. What if you already bought it and haven't played the game yet? No real way to know if I own Until Dawn or am actually going to pick it up.

 

It's fine for us to start our game then whenever we want once January gets here?

Have we decided on what the final buy-in amount will be? 30 or 50?

 

 

To many things going on at once...must put together a task list...

 

Beat Until Dawn :)

Fix Spreadsheet for C2 league since CJ is a monster and changed everything :)

Beat the crap out of Resident Evil and show Salt and CJ what a real rivalry looks like B)

Beta test the C2 league and help calculate points during that two week session

Try a Kangaroo burger and/or steak followed by a crocodile shooter?

 

But most importantly have fun....amiright?

Yeah I guess that's kinda silly, I'll change the OP. Glad your happy with your game, yeah mate the most important thing is to have fun :)

Also yeah January 1 you may start , my game will probably arrive mid Jan maybe even earlier but no rush ;) I'm probably gonna go with the rule that once the game has been played it won't be played again for the rest of the comp, this will keep things nice and interesting so we don't hear the same stuff every month.

You guys should be happy you don't have to play Star Trek lol, but maybe I've put worse games on my list :ninja:

Plus I think it will be alright if you get partnered up with the same person again, not all the games everybody's chosen will be picked though.

I am so happy for you, Until Dawn is a great game and will fit your skill level brilliantly. I am sure it will make a great contrast from SpewChunky World. BUT

let's get something straight from the start. Until Dawn is basically a telltale style game that you can push whatever button you want (or non at all) at anytime and then after like 10 mins of wandering around in the dark with scary music the platinum will pop. Heck a drunk monkey without a controller could play that game.

NOW let's talk first world problems is Splinter Cell a first person shooter

Obtained an ultra rare platinum -> 25pts

Obtained a rare or very rare platinum -> 15pts

Obtained platinum - 10pts

Completed DLC -> 5pts

Being active in the thread -> 10pts (at least several posts weekly relevant to the event)

Co-op bonus -> 10pts for helping a fellow competitor gain co-op or online trophies on top of trying to finish your own game

Started bonus -> 1pt for getting at least one trophy in your game of the month

Is this the final list or can we expect some adjustments?

 

 but maybe I've put worse games on my list :ninja:

Dont scare me like that  :(

Lucky for you its not, the whole main story is all third person, the only first person mode in the entire game is if you're playing as the enemy in mp but you won't be spending much of your time there.

Is this the final list or can we expect some adjustments?

Dont scare me like that :(

It all seems quite fair but if anyone has any ideas to improve the list please let me know, lets just say a sport/racing game would look nice on your profile ;)

haha After SWB you'd think any FPS would be easy....To bad I'm not your partner on this one and can carry you through like SWB and The CREW :)

Hey mate, it's a pleasure to be partnered up with you for the first round. Don't fear about having not played one of these before ..... Either have I. But I think we can take down these pretenders (although one or two of them are a bit dodgy so we may have to watch them :)

We have a lot of things going for us

Rare platinum ( extra points )

Co op. ( extra points )

My incredible ability in shooters ( as proven by my almost platinum in battlefront with a kill ratio that is unheard of )

Our incredibly positive approach in the face of other competitors whinging about how hard they have it :)

I noticed there is a double XP weekend coming up for Splinter Cell ...........

Yeah I think what Gibbo is getting at with the points is, the random generator can give you games with ultra rares and co-op bonuses and then there are games where you only get points based on the platinum....

 

Maybe we should have done something like choose 3 ultra rare, 3 rare 6 whatever.....to even it out a bit. In the end it's not really about the money....just want the bragging rights:)

Yeah that could work but that would mean resetting everyones lists so it includes 3 ultra, 3 rare and 6 whatever. Unless we could mess around with the points ...

Fastest Achiever isn't fair because of the time difference to complete certain games

First to Plat isn't fair because of the same reason above and some games are harder than others

Unless we did :

Got at least 1 trophy in their game - 1 point

Lol thats all I got ... But yeah the points need to be changed to make things fair.

EDIT: well I just realized that most Casino games require "luck" anyway and since this is a "Casino" game I think I'll leave it as is. Thanks for the ideas though :)

Changed the points up slightly

went to GAME to get Star Trek, they didn't have it. Got Dead Space 2, Fuse and Diablo 3 instead, along with the 20th anniversary controller. I have no idea why though, if I'm lucky I'll play those games in 2017.

I'll have to order it online instead :S

Dead Space 2....Beast :)

Ssssssssst ....... don't give it all away, these so called gamers that actually believe to be a threat to us might catch on .....

Going to try and find the game cheap in the first week of january and dust off the old PS3

Dammmmnnnnn. How is Until Dawn still so expensive? It's been out for 4 months now and still no price drop. Betcha as soon as I buy it...It goes on sale.

 

Thank god for power up reward points and gamestop gift cards for Christmas:)

 

You can always try the puppy eyes thing on your wife-girlfriend-mother-boss-landlord-...  :D
