"I'm gonna go all in."
this is my favorite poker sim
Ngl mine too. I ended up never finishing it and using it as a great poker sim. ๐
it's definitely balanced towards giving you better hands.
I've pulled like 8 royal flushes out of it with less than 10 hours spent playing poker in there. I've never even seen a royal flush in other contexts.
It's really chill though haha. :)
haha, that's why I've put almost 10 hours into it.
i suspect most mini games start to show their problems and biases when you spend 10 hours playing then lol. like, gwent was sick, but it really was just about stacking the most strong cards intoa single deck as you could.
caravan though... that was a great damn mini game. the interactive and believable element of needing to go around and collect old world playing cards to build out your deck did a lot to extend the game into the broader world. more than that though, it's a genuinely playable and relatively balanced game. i happened to have a lot of incomplete card decks lying around when i grew up. eventually i repurposed those into one big deck that would get split in half to play with people irl and a randomized deck. only fantasy card game I've ever been able to recreate and play at home without buying anything. and it even played pretty well.
Eh, I liked Far Cry 3's poker minigame better. Or, from memory, RDR1.
Yes, the atmosphere is great. But the stacks are just so low, players give little action, and the overall game flow is glacial in RDR2.
