I bet your heart was pumping in an epic fashion after that race.

That would be a mild description. I think that was consecutive attempt #37 on Metropia thanks to me screwing up the zigzag leading up to the drop. Last corner I baged a turbo and fired it without even seeing what the hell I picked up. Initial reaction before the results poped up was "AHHHHH ********! not again!" only to be greeted with a gold medal. Got my house mate to take that picture, even he called me a jammy ****er :D lol
 
NOOOOOOOOO! :( :( :(

lol unlucky, I just got the game last week and find it hard to get past zone 20 on the earlier maps. Still I am really liking the game, online play is silky smooth. Just watched some vids on people beating mach 1 its insane.
 
I admit defeat, this is the single hardest game I've ever played in my entire life, in-fact megaman 9 is a dodle compared to this, I've practised and practised and still I am struggling to get even near bronze on many tracks and that's only on the 4th event, what makes it annoying is that it's such a good game but I guess I've reached the limits of my skill's, the people that acutally manage to complete this game have my utmost respect seriously, you guys are good, very good.

What difficulty are you playing on? I've managed all golds but only in novice, Elite is well beyond my reaction times from grid 6 onwards.
 
Novice :(, I've just hit a brick wall, it's not the end of the world, I've never been a 'brilliant' gamer in terms of gaming skills but it does make it more frustrating when the game is so awesome, I'll keep having a stab at it now and again but @ 30 I don't think my responses are going to get any better :o.

I have the same, I can't get it to work, I either turn too slow hitting the outside or I turn too sharp and bounce of the inside.

I guess I am doing something wrong all the time, like using the airbrake too late combined with turning at the wrong time, I think that you need to find out the right way of playing this game to go around the tracks without hitting the walls and by the time you get that feeling it becomes much easier, until that time it can be frustrating to say the least, I almost threw my controller thru my 40" LCD many times :mad:

I managed to get to the 4th grid by getting some golds or silvers but mostly bronze medals.

I really want to like this game but if I need 10 tries to get bronze it isn't much fun which annoys me as I do like the game.
 
track knowledge is the most important thing, if you react to anything on the faster speeds then you are going to crash.

if you see a left and think turn left, you will have crashed already... you have to know exactly whats coming up and be ready for everything.

i don't know about anyone else but my instinct when i turn too sharp is to counter-steer, and if you do this on faster speeds its a gaurenteed crash. you have to train yourself to turn in that direction 'less' and it will sort it self out rather than turning the other way.

mmm i need to pick up this game again, maybe have a shot at elite or go for the zone zues trophy :D

Totally agree, you almost need to be able to go around the track blind knowing excactly when to tuen left or right.

I also countersteer to sharp and bounce all over the place sometimes, which is annoying in a time trial as you need to go around almost perfectly to get a medal.

Senture and I still haven't had the final yet but there won't be much point really. He's too good.

Well now you've seen the 4 tracks I picked for the final I know your **** scared lol.

Only have Bling Brigade and Beat Zico left to do now, I really hate the Pirahna(sp?). Done all the others (yes including Zone Zeus and Arcade Perfect :p)

I'm not so sure. I've done about 200 laps trying to do it and less than 10 sucessfull rolls getting onto the bridge.

I'm consistant and very persistant, but lack perfection (that sounds very unlike how I mean it, but in a nut shell, that's it). I had the patience to do Elite Campain legend since I knew it was all about me and nothing to do with the pad refusing to execute a roll. Last night tought me that this is one trophy I will not put all my focus into because I almost had it (was beating my 31.39 ghost by over a second easly) and as per usual, the ****er didn't roll. So I've just had to go and buy a new pad since I smashed the sixaxis off the desk in a fit of rage last night :o

Good to see you're being economical with your signing off signature rp. I give it 3 weeks before you get it down to just "r" :)

I know how that feels, but with the online players in FIFA 09 when they just dont pass :mad:. God I feel myself geting angry...

Im gonna play some WOHD to relax later ;)

ps3ud0 :cool:
 
After about 250 laps and produced on lap 14 of the session, Zico has finally been beaten :D 30.64

Up yours Zico! :D 100% completion.
 
awesome stuff man, well done :D

i also see you're playing sshd now, i wonder if my scores will be safe in that game :p
 
Thanks very much ojste. Been playing a bit of SSHD but it's not a game I can really get into. It's great fun, but I really accelerate at things that become absorbed in.
