1 vs. 100 Achievements revealed, you'll need to be smarter

by Griffin McElroy on Nov 15th 2009 5:30PM

Feeling a little miffed at your lack of compensation for playing 1 vs. 100? That is, unless you're one of the chosen ones, who, at some point during their lives, were anointed by unknown entity who deemed them worthy to appear in the big show. If you're not part of this esteemed group, you'll still be able to collect rewards for your playtime -- yes, we're talking about sweet 'Cheevos, the full list of which can be found after the jump.

Fortunately, there's no Achievement handed out for landing in The One's seat. That might push the community's more dedicated Achievement hunters to the brink of madness.

This is such a great service. You can literally spend hours playing this thing. Fun for the whole family.

And so easy a caveman can play it, right?

yeap alot of fun for the family, and these cheevos sounds pretty easy to me.

This game is still around?

Meh.

You're still around?

You're still asquare?

I actually played this quite a bit, but I only made it into the mob once.

But when questions like 'What song by *insert modern band here* won a Grammy" come up...I just have to guess.

There shoudn't be one for getting questions wrong when it keeps stats on everything you do.

I concur. Especially when your chances for being the One or in the Mob, and thus chances of winning actual prizes, depend on percentage of correct answers.

Your problem is that you're thinking like a completionist would wants all achievements NOW. If you just play the game normally for a while, you're going to get that achievement for three quick wrong answers in a row eventually, without having to intentionally hurt your stats.

That should have been be "a completionist *who* wants all achievements"... My brain works in strange ways before my first morning coffee... ;)

i love this game. i wish i was actually free during the times it was on during the school year.

You're not free from 8pm until 1am? Or 4pm on Sundays??

I stopped playing after a week since I never got into the mob. It is okay, but it is obvious there are a lot of cheaters playing the game. They need to split up the games so people actually have a chance of getting into the mob, or the one.

Dude are you sure you played this at all??

I dunno how anyone would cheat. You only get a few seconds to answer each question. Def not enough time to google for the correct answer.

Maybe people play at bars or in large groups and then at least one person knows the correct answer before the choices are displayed.

And really you quit after a week because you never got into the mob?? There's usually anywhere from 40 to 100 THOUSAND people playing. Only 101 can actually be the one or the mob. You seriously expected to get into that withen a week?? You probably have the same chances hitting lotto.

i agree, you should have played longer cause i got into the mob the first day of the second week i played.

Anybody who has played the game knows that without a doubt, the leaderboard is packed with cheaters. Not arguable. As much of a muliconsole owner yet 360 homer that I am, it's indisputable, you can't argue that the game isn't packed with cheaters.

Not the 'somebody is googling the answer' kind of cheaters. Don't argue, it shows you don't know what you're talking about.

Oh, please. Give me a break. Why would I play something I don't have any fun with? There are cheaters, and there are several ways people do it: hack to see the questions, have someone googling beside you (even if it is only 3 seconds there is still time for it)

I never thought I would see the day there would be 1 vs 100 fangirls.

Any sources? I hadn't heard of this trivia thing, but Markez your argument that cheaters exist is pretty hollow... Actually it's borderline retarded. Saying something isn't arguable and that you're right ad nauseam doesn't make it anymore true.

I wouldn't bet against you though. By nature, almost all multiplayer scoreboards are packed with a good amount of cheaters.

I just can't fathom how a game like that running Live is able to be cheated or hacked..

Please explain or give examples.

Forgive me, Reader, it's an internet blog. Commenting as I see fit without the rigorous standards of journalistic pursuit. Just saying what I'm seeing. Anyone who has played a lot of 1 versus 100 on live knows that there are cheaters. Sure, it's anecdotal, but it's all I got.

Whylekat - Play 1 v 100 on xbox live for awhile, it's obvious.

There are either cheaters, or during the last beta the system was so glitched that the majority of the leaderboards had scores that were simply impossible to attain. The kind of scores that could only be gotten by getting every single question right within less than a second of the question appearing on the screen. And having 10+ people do that over and over again every round. Sorry, I just don't buy that.

The host even commented once that you couldn't trust the leaderboards because there were known scoring glitches. Glitch or cheater, I don't know, but the system was never fair or functional during it's first run. Will have to see how much of that got fixed.

I love this game, but there's cheaters. It's an online game, you've got people with such low self esteem they need to win to feel good about themselves. Find me any online game where this doesn't happen.

There's a group that goes into a party and gives each other the answers. My party is a group of RL friends and we're competing against each other, not anyone else and we're not giving out the answers. Course even when they're giving each other the answers, and you still rank higher than them on the leader board, it is hilarious.

I got in the mob 3 times last season, all before there were real prizes, but what are you gonna do?

Anyway, total blast to play with friends, have a few beers, a couple of that's what she said's and you've got the making of an entertaining evening.

You stated that it was factual 4 times. I understand stating an opinion, but going so far as to state something is impossible to argue against needs at least basic evidence outside anecdotal.

Considering the way I played during the beta, these will probably be pretty easy for me.

If I bled Sony I'm sure I would have too.

Those don't look too bad actually, I remember doing most of that in the beta and I wasn't all that great score wise.

360 is just one step closer to being Wii HD

Wouldn't that be about two dozen steps backward?

and my damn elite dies...

Before reading this, I was not interested in playing this game again. The achievement whore in me seeing this news gaurantees I'll be playing it again. :-)

Ahem...the name was Greedo, not 'Greto'.

It is obvious the Force is not strong in you...

So, can we actually earn these in the upcoming season? If so, i'd be more interested in playing.

@ eeefe
"poor-mans quiz" - erm, this is an xbox live gold feature...

And to the surprise of absolutely nobody, here comes T-Mac in his 360 branded hummer, to defend anything and everything Microsoft.

I got into the mob once. It really gets nerve-wracking when you actually have prizes on the line.

mmmmmmmmm... achievements.

Is this game or the show any good?

I think it's a lot of fun, for sure give it a chance. Pretty fun diversion, as the live episodes are fun to be a part of.

Well, Wayne will be all over this. Him and his five figure Gamerscore.

Do you mean six figure? Cause five can be as little as 10,000 which isn't very high. I myself only have about 73,000.

No, he's got...sixty something thousand.

But it's still quite a bit

*weeps over pathetic seven thousand GS*

I just broke 40 thou =)

Just checked, 62583

I just got into the five-digit club myself this past weekend. I don't do a whole lot of "point whoring" but they're a big reason why I'm more inclined to get multiplatform games on the 360 than the PS3. (There are exceptions-- I got NHL 2K10 on the PS3 for the graphics, and SC4 on the PS3... because it was $10.)

Still, these are really, ridiculously easy. The only 'hard' one will be the "Answer 500 questions", which will probably take... let's see, you get about 30 per half-hour in Extended Play, so... 17 full Extended rounds, or eight and a half hours. Not bad when you stretch that out over a couple of weeks of playing nightly.

That Hummer should have red LED's on three quarters of each rim...then it would be more realistic.

You do win free stuff with 1vs100. Can this Sony trivia game say the same?

"That Hummer should have red LED's on three quarters of each rim...then it would be more realistic. "
