I love the Wrong Answer of the Game thing. It's there for everyone. The only catch is looking like a dumb ass at first. I'm actually getting decent at "stumbling" on them by remembering the clue and not answering correctly immediately. Yeah, you sacrifice a few seconds on all the other questions, but the pay-off more than makes up for it.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

I guess the key there is to not buy it from Amazon then. It's $29.99 everywhere else I've seen as standard price.

I LOVE looking for the wrong question on purpose. How is it coincidence? Isn't it possible they're just looking for it. They're usually pretty easy to find if you keep the product in mind.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

Online just is never going to work when playing with random people. Too many people out there think leaderboards matter and so they'll just play one episode over and over again, schooling n00bs with their amazing knowledge of a round they've played 120 times.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

Host and they can't pick it.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

So I went for the -$1,000,000 Jack Attack achievement last night. Here's how I did it, if you're interested.

First, move your save game to a USB stick and then unplug it from the system so the game can't find it and is forced to create a new one. (Alternatively, you can just change the storage device under options, but then you might confuse yourself later).

Once you have a fresh save that you can screw up with a huge loss, just play through a game until the J.A. Here you'll obviously be pounding the A button while wrong answers are up. I found I could get 3 or 4 pushes in safely for each wrong answer. Once you see the right answer, obviously don't do anything until it disappears. After it's gone, you can just pound away on A because it won't come back for the current item. This is where you get most of your wrong answers since you can hit it with reckless abandon.

If you just pound A the whole time and let yourself get the right answers, you'll find that you don't have enough time to hit the full million. Doing it that way, I couldn't get more than $750,000. Doing it more attentively, I ended up with almost -$1.4M.

Once you're done, exit the game and delete the save file you just played from and restore your original and you'll be free from that blemish on your average and rating.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

Has anyone bought the first DLC yet? I'm torn because it'll take a while just to get through the 73 on the disc and it may go on sale before I'm done.

But I also want to support the game and I'm afraid that the online component may dry up before I get to it and, when I do, that no one still playing will have the DLC anyway.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

The game has been out for less than 3 days, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

The excellent reviews + load of content + low price tag should help the game out, though there are a lot of gamers out there that seem to want it to fail -- "A trivia game getting the same score as (my precious) Killzone 3? LOL FAIL! 1 / 10!" ugh.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

Yeah, and I already noticed a significant decrease in the number of online players. Games still filled up, but it took a lot longer than Tuesday night.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

I was going to when I first say it posted, but like you I saw no need to grab it just yet when there's still so much content on the disc. Releasing it right at launch was a mistake if you ask me. They should have announced a release schedule for the DLC and let people know that new packs were coming at regular intervals. That would keep people interested over time.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

And I absolutely wouldn't mind the previous games being released as DLC either.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

Any interest in a tournament?

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

I will buy the DLC once I exhaust the on-disc content. I want to support the developers, but buying the DLC before you play all of the included episodes seems unnecessary. :shrug:

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

Nope, but I'll gladly play regular ol' games with y'all whenever.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

Except when you're too cool having "actual" friends.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

Well, naturally. However, I've resolved to make more time for the little people, such as you, chuckd, and L&O. I think it'll be good for me.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

This is pretty much exactly how I was going to do it. I don't want to lose millions of $$ in my real game. Glad to hear it works.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

That's a good idea.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

I'm still a little confused by the ranking system in the game, not that it's very important other than achievement-wise.

I ranked up to Unicorn last night, with a full bar. After my next online game, which I won against 3 other people, the bar had decreased a little and I was second-highest rank.

I'm thinking it might have to do with correct vs. incorrect responses or something.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

Next time you rank up to that, send me an invite so I can beat you for that achievement. I'll return the favor.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

Will do. In the meantime, I'm enjoying my sexy new pant:

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

L&O and I both beat you to that.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

Oh! It's a race! Hurry up and burn through the game so I never have to feel guilty for not playing with you dudes. Thanks. :)

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

Mine have all come up randomly. Play online and maybe you can play with us dudes.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

i don't even know what chapter that came from...number wise that is. I was playing in someone else's game.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

I saw those pants last night on Pinata and I was like What the hell???? lol For some reason when I look at the friend avatars, it doesn't show anyone playing the game but as soon I fire it uo, I get the pop up showing friends playing the game. I hope to get some in tonight!

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

They just haven't flipped the switch to show the game's cover art yet. AC:B had that problem for a while too.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

Damn you all! You're pressuring me to buy this game I had no interest in. My family is out of town this weekend, affording me nearly unlimited gaming time. I might just have to pick this stupid game up now. :mad:

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

If you pick it up and play two 15 minute episodes aren't you already well ahead of most of the games you purchase?

Seriously though...it's ridiculously worth the $30 price tag if you at all like trivia games and smartass comments.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

If there's one thing I know about Decker, it's he likes smartass comments.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

Think of all the jokes he can then translate to the operating table while slicing foreskin! That's worth the cash itself.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

I'm glad the game turned out to be great. My copy from Amazon just showed up today (a day ahead of schedule). I'd love to jump in and play tonight, but Thursdays belong to the NBC comedies and I don't have a DVR anymore. I'll play with a fury this weekend.

Episode 9: http://www.xboxresource.com/viewavatars.php?t=4027

Glad these avatar awards seem pretty easy to unlock.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

:drool: I want that dummy.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

I will have that dummy by Monday, mark my words.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

Even if they don't do well in sales, i don't think it cost that much to make a jack game. If enough of the old fans buy the game hopefully we get a few sequels and themed games.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

If they could build some kind of shell (ala Burnout Paradise) and then just release big packs of DLC, this thing could last a very long time.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

They need to have a mode where it gets rid of the "wrong question of the game" and then randomizes 10 questions. In it's current state, this game is only a 10 hour game with 0 replay. If it mixed all the questions up, there would be less of a chance of memorizing everything and being able to replay the game even after finishing every episode.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

Many of the episodes are scripted and later questions and commentary make call-backs to earlier stuff. They're themed.

I'm sure they could do that with many of the questions, but no matter what you'll still memorize them anyway.

They need a way to mute people in-game.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

This. You can easily pull up their gamercard in the lobby and mute them that way. Once the game starts, you need to hit the Guide Button, go to recent players, and then mute them from there. Not exactly an easy process with only small breaks between questions.

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

Question intro variations I've seen:

2wo

6ix

10n

Jack Attack

Have you seen any others?

Re: You Don't Know Jack YDKJ to Return?
 

Kane & Lynch 2 was a 4 hour game with 0 replay and it was twice the retail price. ;)

Isn't it about 15 minutes per episode? Wouldn't going through all 73 episodes straight still be over 18 hours of gameplay?
