BrokerZoo Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Move Niko over three steps to the left, not those little half steps he does but proper steps, then push the thumbstick straight down, then straight up. I got the "Gobble Gobble" achievement already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndresGTA Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) Getting 3 strikes in a row (Turkey, (I so loved King pin and Big Lebowski)) is to me 20 times more difficult than scoring 180 in darts. EDIT: In real live it´s 100% the opposite. Bowling: 4 strikes in a row. Darts: Who the f*** plays darts.

EDIT: In real live it´s 100% the opposite. Bowling: 4 strikes in a row. Darts: Who the f*** plays darts. I agree totally. I think I've only gotten 3 strikes total in about 5 games. Darts and Pool are waaaaaay easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the "Gobble Gobble" achievement already. I'm telling you. Heed my words, it works. Also, I think you can kinda control the ball after you've thrown it.

DDR Midian Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 He won't even do three full steps to the left for me, he hits the edge a few frames before the last step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vettefan88 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Move Niko over three steps to the left, not those little half steps he does but proper steps, then push the thumbstick straight down, then straight up. I got the "Gobble Gobble" achievement already. I got it aswell, but I used a different technique. what I did, was take one large step to the right, then push the stick down then up fast, and when the ball was going down the lane I would maneuver it towards the center so it struck the first pin. this solved the problem I was having with always leaving the #7 pin standing if I hit it them dead on from standing in the center. I got the "gobble gobble" achievement pretty easily with this technique. but I'm sure ti woudl be hard for somebody to duplicate it in-game by just reading it. you kinda have to "feel" for the perfect spot to get them. I'm sure there are tons of working techniques to getting strikes though. the best thing to do is just keep trying different things to approach the front pin at different angles.

BrokerZoo Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Maybe it's not three big steps then, hell who knows? but yeah you have to kinda find a sweet spot. Just start from where he starts out and try to move him over a little each frame untill you get a strike, then try to duplicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that between 25 and 28 mph was a good ball speed. and as it rolls just try to get it to smack the front pin. once you get going, it's not so hard.

dtown218 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 (edited) http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/209874.html K I got it finally! Just play in the lane furthest to the left, when positioning take 2 full steps to the left, with right stick go straight back then forward, and don't use full power (from about 20-24 mph worked the best for me). In the video notice how the ball goes straight down the 4th line from the left, thats your goal. Let me know if something doesn't make sense or you need more help. I just got 7 stricks in a row!
