10 Video Game Trophies Made IMPOSSIBLE By RNG
5. Poker! - The Witcher 2: Assassin’s Of Kings
If the title of this trophy didn’t give away that you’re about to have a bad time with mean RNG then let me run you through some more of the specifics.
Before they were making you cry with heartbreak at The Witcher 3 or agony over CyberPunk 2077 glitches, CD Projekt Red had a classic way to hurt the innocent gamers who picked up their 2011 RPG, The Witcher 2: Assassin’s Of Kings, good old random number generation.
If you’ve ever played Yahtzee then you know the odds of getting Yahtzee, which is five of a kind for the uninitiated, it’s pretty darn low. Well that’s exactly what you’re going to need to do to get this achievement.
You get two rolls of five dice and after the first roll you can decide which dice, if any, you’d like to reroll. And that’s the ball game. You could get very lucky and knock this one over in a flash or you could be at it for a hell of a long time. While you do get one reroll, the chances of pulling this off in your first roll are 1 in 1,296 so, you know, not awesome odds there.
There’s also the possibility your opponent folds and you miss a chance to up your four of a kind to five of a kind so that’s a whole other kind of infuriating.
