Hendo Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Anyone tried this on XBLA? It's also on WP7 for the one person here that has such a device. It's a pretty good game of poker using avatars and the same tech that ran 1 vs 100 so there's designated times when you can play against a load of people for 30 minutes where the winner (I think) is the one who gets the most xp, as this game you level up by doing various different stuff like winning games in a row or folding and then finding out at the end that it was the best thing to do. You can play online normally but I think you're meant to play offline first to gain some money. I'm doing rubbish - I've run out of cash twice and had to dip into some banked cash. No idea what happens if you run out of that banked cash though. That's the big question at this point - with virtual money, what's going to make you care about how much you spend? <object width="640" height="360" data="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/video/flash/flowplayer-3.2.4_10005.swf?config=%7B%22key%22%3A%22%23%40b549b3cbe0f4ce68961%22%2C%22clip%22%3A%7B%22scaling%22%3A%20%22fit%22%7D%2C%22canvas%22%3A%7B%22background%22%3A%22%23000000%22%2C%22backgroundGradient%22%3A%22none%22%7D%2C%22playlist%22%3A%5B%22http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.giantbomb.com%2Fuploads%2F2%2F23534%2F1732243-es.png%22%2C%20%7B%22autoPlay%22%3Afalse%2C%22url%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.giantbomb.com%2Fvideo%2Fvf_fullhousepoker_ql_031411_1500.mp4%22%7D%5D%2C%22plugins%22%3A%7B%22controls%22%3A%7B%22url%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.giantbomb.com%2Fmedia%2Fvideo%2Fflash%2Fflowplayer.controls-3.2.2_10003.swf%22%2C%22autoHide%22%3A%22always%22%2C%22timeColor%22%3A%22%23cc0000%22%2C%22bufferGradient%22%3A%22none%22%2C%22volumeSliderColor%22%3A%22%23333333%22%2C%22durationColor%22%3A%22%23ffffff%22%2C%22sliderColor%22%3A%22%23333333%22%2C%22tooltipTextColor%22%3A%22%23ffffff%22%2C%22backgroundGradient%22%3A%22none%22%2C%22timeBgColor%22%3A%22%23000%22%2C%22borderRadius%22%3A%220px%22%2C%22tooltipColor%22%3A%22%23000%22%2C%22buttonColor%22%3A%22%23cc0000%22%2C%22sliderGradient%22%3A%22none%22%2C%22progressColor%22%3A%22%23cc0000%22%2C%22bufferColor%22%3A%22%23666666%22%2C%22volumeSliderGradient%22%3A%22none%22%2C%22buttonOverColor%22%3A%22%23990000%22%2C%22progressGradient%22%3A%22medium%22%2C%22backgroundColor%22%3A%22%23111111%22%7D%7D%7D" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="movie" value="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/video/flash/flowplayer-3.2.4_10005.swf?config=%7B%22key%22%3A%22%23%40b549b3cbe0f4ce68961%22%2C%22clip%22%3A%7B%22scaling%22%3A%20%22fit%22%7D%2C%22canvas%22%3A%7B%22background%22%3A%22%23000000%22%2C%22backgroundGradient%22%3A%22none%22%7D%2C%22playlist%22%3A%5B%22http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.giantbomb.com%2Fuploads%2F2%2F23534%2F1732243-es.png%22%2C%20%7B%22autoPlay%22%3Afalse%2C%22url%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.giantbomb.com%2Fvideo%2Fvf_fullhousepoker_ql_031411_1500.mp4%22%7D%5D%2C%22plugins%22%3A%7B%22controls%22%3A%7B%22url%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.giantbomb.com%2Fmedia%2Fvideo%2Fflash%2Fflowplayer.controls-3.2.2_10003.swf%22%2C%22autoHide%22%3A%22always%22%2C%22timeColor%22%3A%22%23cc0000%22%2C%22bufferGradient%22%3A%22none%22%2C%22volumeSliderColor%22%3A%22%23333333%22%2C%22durationColor%22%3A%22%23ffffff%22%2C%22sliderColor%22%3A%22%23333333%22%2C%22tooltipTextColor%22%3A%22%23ffffff%22%2C%22backgroundGradient%22%3A%22none%22%2C%22timeBgColor%22%3A%22%23000%22%2C%22borderRadius%22%3A%220px%22%2C%22tooltipColor%22%3A%22%23000%22%2C%22buttonColor%22%3A%22%23cc0000%22%2C%22sliderGradient%22%3A%22none%22%2C%22progressColor%22%3A%22%23cc0000%22%2C%22bufferColor%22%3A%22%23666666%22%2C%22volumeSliderGradient%22%3A%22none%22%2C%22buttonOverColor%22%3A%22%23990000%22%2C%22progressGradient%22%3A%22medium%22%2C%22backgroundColor%22%3A%22%23111111%22%7D%7D%7D" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="whiskey-video-id" value="3893" site="http://media.giantbomb.com/video/" /><param name="wmode" value="opaque" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /></object> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinn888 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I tried the trial earlier. For once in a poker game, they speed up the dishing of the cards (For some reason i cant think of the right term) and you can speed it up when its not your turn. I'm not a fan of betting virtual money, i find no fun in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Tried one of the live shows last night, similar to 1 vs 100 where you turn up at a specific time. Had all AI on my table bar one point someone on my friends list (Marvellous), some random woman and, really strange, someone not on my friends list but who I recognise from some games of Bad Company 2 and GTM - The Boy In Green. Not sure how that all worked, whether the game tries to match you with your friends or friends of friends. Didn't see any option to join friends in the live show. I'm really enjoying it but I am rubbish at poker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
