POLL: whatthemovie difficulty
wtm is hard sometimes.
and shots like these http://whatthemovie.com/beta/movies/view/10116 shoud be filtered
and the 30 day solve button is in my opinion still to short, a 1/2year would be fine.
like "arno1976" said...
"it´s getting more and more difficult....".... too old films, and too complex images make this site an exciting entertainment to all...
and...
like "Solarstorm" said...
"shots like that, MUST be filtered".... scenes from sky, forests, etc... they have too many "solutions"... and it´s too hard to find the right one... and also... it´s too hard for those who don´t know wher to find the movies to buy....
.
but the time to "show solution" it´s too long... for real "rank points".. it should be at max 5 days long...
Ok i must confess that WTM is hard but that's why it's fun too !! I agree with "andrefuzaro" for the time to show solution but 5 days it's too short ! Maybe between 10 and 15 could be better.
About filtering some shots i'm not sure because if you saw the movie, automatically you recognize the shot. It's juste your unconscious which is working, not your brain ^
For me, the 30 days are great. It gives you the opportunity to check some older shots once again when you have some spare time.
Besides that you can still solve all shots for points if you're on a two-week-holiday or something like that.
And sometimes I see a scene I do recognize, but I just don't remember the title. Most of the time the title comes in mind in like, two weeks. This gives you the chance to still earn the points. But well, this is not where this discussion is all about :P
I agree with arno that wtm gets a bit harder lately. For me the average difficulty is quite okay, but it should not get any harder. Im solving around 20-25% at this moment and I think that's fine.
It's just the right balance in my opinion.
And 30 days is perfect too, because you still have a chance to catch up when you've been away for 2 or 3 weeks or so.
between "just the right balance" and "wtm is quite hard"
But I voted "just the right balance".
I think it's quite hard, and that it ought to be like that.
I'm not world's biggest movie fan, but definitely quite a bit more enthusiastic than average in my environment.
If the site became really a lot easier, it would definitely lose it's thrill...
The main reason to come back is at least partially caused by the frustration that you think you know the answer, but
can't find it yet :P
I voted that it's just the right balance. Come on now, it wouldn't be fun if all the screenshots were of Ewoks, or of Agent Smith, or of Don Corleone.
I think it is a little too hard, bordering the right balance. But as Solarstorm already said: some pictures (and the number increases) are simply too generic and therefore too hard. I think the fun of this site is not just the difficulty solving the shots but also to be reminded of these movies.
either too hard or too easy. there aren't enough 'medium' difficulty level shots, e.g. key stills from well-known movies.
In my newbie opinion, WTM is quite hard but it has to. Where would the challenge be if it was too easy ? I wouldn't enjoy it that much if it was easier.
But Solarstrom is right, the "generic" captions with anonymous landscapes and sunsets etc. should be filtered, it's impossible to guess the movie name except by luck.
(if you don't understand very well what I say, well, don't worry, I'm french. I might not use the proper words and expressions... ;)
BTW, thanks for WTM, it's a real good idea !
