Rock, paper, scissor.
Is there a trick to it? Or I'm just unlucky? I'm playing solo and I always lose, always, it should be a game of chance.

I never seem to draw.

The game uses simple decisicion logic with a bit PRNG. Once you get a grip of a current session you can win. If not... well you are unlucky, it may even look like it is rigged, but game is actualy trying to predict your move, sometimes very effectively.

Vs the computer all draws are skipped and the computer just picks a different choice. Or so I heard.

I am not sure how it works but the game does cheat abit as it cant choose what you have picked.

Far as I can tell, the AI never chooses the same hand as you. So if you pick Siccors, it either choses Paper or Rock.

I am fine with taht since it saves time without skipping the game.

If you read this study http://arxiv.org/pdf/1404.5199v1.pdf you will see what "harukage" is saying. Though there were a few of them that even using this logic I couldn't win, it was almost like they were using reverse reverse logic or some crap :)

I've noticed they generally pick what would win against what you used in the previous match. Though I've also noticed they will pick whatever wins against whatever you choose no matter what at times too. And I've NEVER won against them on the first match, has anyone else?

It can 'predict' when you choose randomly and beat you.
It can 'predict' your choice even when you choose the same item three times in a row.
But there is NO cheating.
This is just an incredibly advanced AI of the type that bookie-punters and governments have been looking for for years. SO keep it quiet or the game will be stolen from the internet.
You may FEEL like the AI is cheating just to make you feel stupid and give the game a chance to beat you but that isn't it at all. You are stupid. the AI really is THAT smart and can outthink you on half power. SO Shhhhhh.. or everyone will want it.

Mother of God, they made a monster, I'll argue with my imaginary friend whether we must burn my desktop and bomb Larian Studios.

Rock/paper/scissor simulation AI is conquering the world. And you cant do anything because it always knows what you will do.
Shrimpy Jul 11, 2014 @ 11:55am 
oh weird maybe mine is broken cause they always pick the same thing, ie: i pick rock, they pick paper. so next hand i get scissors and they do paper again. and then continue doing paper tell i win. I dont understand how you could possibly loose.
Rock paper scissors is a way of life get gd scrub

This is the best rock papper and scissor game ever.

There is a percentage chance that the AI will chose whatever is needed to beat you and that percentage is set differently for different opponents.
I think the higher your intimidation/charm /reason is relative to your opponents, the less percentage for the opponent to chose the "winning move".

The way they implemented this rock paper scissor thing was not made to feel realistic (because its not realistic at all), it was made to put your intimidation/charm/reason stats to good use.
Personally i think they couldve found a better way for this than the rock paper scissors but whatever, its not so important either way.
