Re: The fraud that is NFS:NL
... just thinking ...
Do i get it right? The developers are getting blamed cause the game is not giving random parts on that draw game after races - WHILE savegame is reloaded over and over again until the part gets dropped which is the wanted one?^^
That would be the very last part in the game i would blame the developers on... Don't get me wrong - some people here seem to test over and over again reloading savegames (lol, sorry, what does THAT have to do with luck?) Did those people test something else, something like "how many times do you have to select the same "card" until you get the part wanted" - statistically - without using the reload savegame "trick"?
Lets see the facts:
• the game does show 3 possible parts the player might get (usually 1 = Money, 2 = Material, 3 =Blueprint -or- a different Material)
• a forth part (visual points) is added to the three above (4 = Visual Points)
Therefore the player will have a -statistically - 1 out of 4 chance to get one of the four parts (1, 2, 3 or 4)
I did test over weeks now: If you ALWAYS select the rightmost "card" you definately get the wanted (1 out of 3 / 1 out of 4) part on every - statistically - 4th try! Always!
Example:
• Underground 10-4
• I would like to get the "Porsche 911(991) blueprint
• Parts are: 1 = Money, 2 = Valve, 3 = Blueprint (and 4 = Visual Points)
• If you ALWAYS select the rightmost "card", you will get the 3 = Blueprint not later than every 4th try - which is the exactly the random medium.
