How often do you play Pazaak in KOTOR?

[Renegade]

I've seen some people who love it, and others who hate it. Let's do a little survey....

 

BTW, by 'busting' I mean driving that Pazaak player until they won't play you for money or cards anymore. I don't think it can be done with Gelrood, but any of the others is fair game.

Ivan what movie is your avator from

Because it cheats openly....so do I. Saving and reloading is an ace in the hole no Pazaak player can match.

Reloading gets pretty tiresome after a while though.

Hmmmm...never heard of it but thank you.

It's basically a Matrix rip-off.

Neg. It's matrix-inspired with a more tangible theme.

[Nartwak]

It's the Matrix meets Fahrenheit 451.

[Carth Vader]

I really dislike Pazaak, never even buying a deck.

It was a rip-off. If it wasn't, there wouldn't have been silly Gun-Kata in it...

[Adria Teksuni]

I play Pazaak as little as humanly possible, which is to say, not at all. If I want to get that frustrated doing something, I'll try and have an intelligent convo with my ferrets.

[Daaave]

I HATE pazzak becasue the person your playing against always get the cards they need to get 20, cheating B@$t@rds grrrr. :angry: :angry: :angry:

[Bokishi]

Pazzak gets easier when you buy all the cards. Good or bad, I need to think about it.

[TSAdmiral]

Would you guys recommend the movie?

 

As for Pazaak, the game would had solid foundations and rules, but rampant cheating kills the experience FAST. Frustration sets in quickly. It makes me wonder how come I didn't turn to the dark side everytime I play Pazaak.

[Salsabettis]

I really love playing blackjack, but for me Pazaak just didn't do it. I guess it was because I lost all the time.

This is the creation of a very insecure person, they are just trying to convince themselfs that they are a worthy human being. There is no need, every one here is a too.

Would you stop being a troll, please?

I'm just trying to get back into my Geeky Star Wars Persona (this is a kotor forum after all). I have found other forums where I can be cool (as in less geeky). B)

Uncalled for man, geez. :angry:

Equilibrium rocks. Way better than the Matrix. Reminiscent of 1984 (the book, not the year).

 

 

I didn't like Pazaak. I LOVE blackjack, but I don't really like Pazaak.

The way it works bothers me, having only four cards that you can use the ENTIRE game, it just makes the game more frustrating. So I try to conserve the cards, then I use one to get 20, and the computer 85% of the time gets 20 also. Or I get a 19 and they'd get a natural 20.

And whenever I win the first to rounds, they always, always, 100% of the time make a miraculous comeback.

 

I didn't know that Suvam Tan gives you a discount if you beat him. How much of a discount? How many times do you have to beat him?

I know, i'm the same way.

I didn't think it was better than the Matrix. The concept was cool, but that Gun-Kata was so ripped-off from the Matrix that it wasn't original anymore.

 

1984 is the best year ever, btw. B)

[Moose]

Yes, 1984 was an amazing year.

A dinosaur thread. You'd think they be extinct by now.

I do play some pazaak anyway.

[sithlord78]

What I find with Pazaak is that it feels rigged, but it's either rigged for or against you predetermined. There were occasions where if I were down say 2 to nothing the computer would give me a break with a string of natural 20s. I'm talking suspicious stuff like 2 nat 20s in a row! Other games no matter what I tried the computer would beat me. I guess this would be just evidence stating that the game is truly random, except I find that it actually helps ME too much )

 

Try playing for card advantage. Refrain from using your hand cards and even hit on high numbers say like 16 or 17. You'll find that maybe half the time you'll get EXACTLY the card you were looking for to win, which if truly random happens about 20% of the time.
