GuessTheGame

Friend showed me this over the weekend. Pretty neat. It really highlights just how similar looking every shooter is out there. But yeah, post your scores, post your frustrations, post whatever you like. Still working my way through previous days, but will post all mine once I get there.

Got today's game ... ... ... Anno 1800 in 4 guesses... which I think isn't bad considering I've never played or even seen the game

Ooh I'm going to work through the entire archive. I expect to get every one correct.

I've played 20 or so, and got a few on first guess. The problem is, when there are so many to play through, it's easier just to click through than to type the answer for each one.

Never even heard of that game

I've been doing this non stop for months. Really good!

Got #14 on my first go. Pretty damn impressed with that.

I might not know much but I absolutely know video games.

1, 6, 9 and 15 on first go.

6 in particular is easy if you've played it.

Doing okay so far!

Today's game: The first few pictures do not look like a 2019 game so I was way off with my guesses. Then I thought it was that Anno game but never played it and couldn't remember the number. Went with Anno 1701

Game 1:

Done 100 now and have got 30 in one guess. Very satisfying. Particularly when the picture shows next to nothing but you just know exactly what it is.

The varying difficulty is a bit annoying - some are hugely popular games where they literally show you a really obvious location and/or character in guess 1, others are some obscure title where they start by showing you the close up of a bit of floor!

I'm going backwards - I got #337 on my first go. Varying success rate in general, around 25%. Had a couple where I had the right series but the wrong entry.

I did exactly the same

The one for Sekiro is particularly unfair

Done a couple of hundred of these today and agree that the difficulty varies wildly. So many of them start off with just 'WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T RECOGNISE THIS TREE YOU DUMB strawberry float'. Also really annoys me when it's clearly an instalment of a franchise but there's so many to choose from that it's really difficult to get the right one in time. Like the one that was Street Fighter 2, but which of the seventy five thousand different variations?

Got thirty odd of them on the first frame though, and some of those I was really proud of.

Worked through them all now. Got 75 in one.

Damn son. Also worked through them all and got 35 in one. Running about a 75% success rate, but there's loads in there that I just flat out had never heard of nor seen so much as a screenshot. There's only been a couple where I should have got it but dropped the ball.

Today's one an absolute classic

Nailed it in one, baybeee
