There are controls to change the filters and such, just look onscreen for what changes what.
IIRC (360 turned off at the mo) Y and X change the settings.
Oh, there we go. I just had to hit X to change it from my friends list to everyone. Thanks!

HOW BIG next time do I have to make those well coloured buttons saying
"Y" Change Leaderboard","X Filter" ??!!!??
Tch tch ... and I think compared to other LBs I saw ours is quite readeable ..
This whole discussion is beginning to remind me of a short story from the days when the future was going to be Cyberpunk - "Dogfight", I think it was called...
Still, I'm ahead of The Rev and I've never played it before.
Been round this road so many times
Feel like it's skin is part of mine
This taste of milk is almost gone
Still got my shame, but not for long
Been wrong so many times before
But never quite like this
Heard all, in the rain

For what it's worth... It would have been nicer to 'throw the towel in' at say 200mill, it IS demoralising to see a score of over half a billion on the 1st day. A lower intial score would of helped spur things on IMHO.
It won't stop me playing it...but it has ended my hopes of attaining a mega score in the top ten for example.... simply because I can't see me having the time to dedicate to getting that score. And if I'm brutally honest, I've never seen such a monster score posted on the first day of release.... and it's really not right. Better would have been to *just* set a respectable first score and then quietly raise the bar over the next few days as the TT's and Sickboys across the world start to get to grips with it.
I wouldn't have phrased it quite like Rev but honestly he does have a point there!
I really don't see the problem here. I never managed to beat some of the default placeholder scores on loads of arcade games. The developer had to put those in too.

Exactly my thoughts.
Rev Stu: Chill out dude, it's only a videogame. Stop complaining and enjoy it.

Well let me try and clarify it Jim, I'm average Joe Q Public.
I'm quite good at games... really,Not set the world on fire but not too bad at all. If I set my mind to playing a particular game I get reasonable scores bordering on good.
Examples are 2nd on a race on TDU
2x Top ten placings on Forza2
7-8 Top 50 placings on Forza 2 And a rollup Time Trial on Forza in the top 400
At one point I made it to 80th in Jetpac and a good showing in Bejewelled 2 and GW:RE (I seem to think well below a 1000 in both but it was a long while ago!)
A score so vastly in front of mine and everybodies score just sucks the will out of me. Really, I've been counting down the days like everybody to get stuck into this, and had a go at RV and was really up for a tussle.
That score is lightyears away from me. I haven't played it now for a couple of hours and in fact I've only had two sessions on it. Aside from targetting Worm I don't think that a super fantastic score is in me.
A 200 mill (top score) for example would have left me thinking 'Hmmm I have a chance here!' And I would honestly have been sitting in front of my 360 pushing my score up and up.
Half a billion is way too much. I don't even know how long a score like that takes!
I'm not crying myself to sleep, but it has taken the wind outta me. Thats all.
Back in the old days the same things happened; a game had a high score table that had numbers I knew I'd never attain, but it never put me off.
I guess it's catch 22; if Yak had only posted a score where he got to level 60 , with a score of say 200,000, some people would be complaining that his game must be too hard, as he couldn't even do it.
But mine was get the number one spot, but by a margin that still leaves it in 'Attainable' status.
I also said around 200 million would be that... not 200 thousand!
Of course Jeff should go and set the No.1 score... god knows I would as well... but I would have also considered a half a billion on the first day a bit too much and thrown down a lower marker to spur people on.
And thats my small complaint. Other than that I love the game. I've waited bloody years for a new Llamasoft game and it's a joy.
I guess I don't mind because I held the number one spot for a while until Jeff beat me.
Should I be disqualified for having visited Jeff's house before?
