Rock Paper Scissors Minigame
So I wanted to work on the achievement to win 3-0 50 times but it's just ridiculous. Is there any tactic to it or is it completely random? Sometimes I think I recognize some paterns (like always taking the opposite of what I took last turn or repeating the same thing 2 or 3 times) but then again it might just be because of RNG.

Yes stupid mini games! I agree!

I must be mad... I actually enjoy this. Not all the time mind you, but It's a nice diversion when dealing with an NPC over and over and over and over and over again. I'm not able to keep track of any patterns so for me it's always a fun to find out if I win or not.

And 50 wins..? That's all..? Hardly worth complaining about. It's supposed to be an achievement, not a participation trophy.

Cheers..!

More like using RPS to help build the relationships (e.g. Ginger) and eventually getting it. To focus solely on it will definitely increase the frustration.

Maybe... at the beginning of the games I played the minigame more often but after I was able to give everyone their favorite gifts I stopped playing it.

50 wins 3-0 ! That means if it's completely random (I ignore the draws): 3 games with 0.5 win quote -> 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.125 //// 50 wins / 0.125 win quote = 400 games. So statisticly you should have gotten 50 3-0 wins after playing the minigame 400 (!) times...

As I said, achievement not participation trophy.

I'm going to spend a ton more time mining or chopping wood or doing any one of the hundred other just as difficult and not nearly as much fun things in the game. It's hardly something to be upset about.

No offense, but this is a non issue for me.

YMMV. (obviously)

Cheers..!

Is 3-0 for 20 times even possible? T-T I tried so many times cant even get once! Arrgh! Anyone any tips to share on this? *CRIES*

P/S: Finally had it! I realised there is a certain pattern. Try "Rock" "Scissors" "Rock" on every play, the chances of winning seems higher.
