arcanehornet_ Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Since this was free on ps plus I might as well give it a go. To those who platinumed, how hard it is to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Phantochi Posted December 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2019 This is a 10~15hrs platinum, with a 2/10 difficulty i would say, hard part is play this shit for 10 hours lol 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ElBolovo Posted December 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2019 It's very easy, completed it in just under 9 hours. You can have a liiiiittle problem with the handling in the beginning, but it will click and you will win everything easily. I didn't find it so bad as the other in this tread, but it's a good game to play while listening to some podcast or something like this. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb5f Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Looking forward to this one. Looks like one of the better PS Plus offerings for the year (not that that is saying much). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgm4789 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Once you get past learning the physics its easilly a 2/10. Only tricky part is the holeshots and even that isn't too bad once you get the timing down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Muffy Posted December 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2019 It's very easy By using the "retire from race" option during a race the race automatically finishes and automatically makes you first or second almost every time, and gives you the money, xp and trophy progress. You can use this to get most trophies, though for stuff like 50 wins you need to play one race legit after reaching the requirements to make the trophy actually pop. I didn't do the trophies for winning a race on a specific track this way so can't confirm if I pops those. All you really need to do manually is 10 hole shots and 300 miles driven. For 300 miles there's a few good user made maps, I'm using one called "1 Mile Lap", lots of straight parts so you can drive at top speed. Would be 8 or so hours of driving circles BUT you can just rubber band or turbo R2 and you'll drive automatically, if you go off the track you'll be respawned on it again, so it's just afk. Of course you don't really experience the game this way but I can't say you're missing out on much 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maayz17 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I kinda liked it. I rarely ever play racing games and I wanted something that wasn't an open world because that gets tiresome after a while, so this game is decent enough. As for the platinum, I finished last in the first few races but then I got the hang of it and I can win on the easy setting without much effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groomyboy Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 just jumping on this thread, are the milestone servers down for anyone else currently?.

TheGoaler Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I agree with those that say this is trash. I agree it's hard as well. I was getting the hang of it a bit doing the Kangaroo trophy, though. This did leave a bad taste in my mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdh0921 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Just another note to add about the Retire from Race glitch. Race wins will count towards the win trophy, though you will need to complete a race to have the trophy pop as mentioned before (You do not have to win that race however). Holeshots do NOT, however. Even if you get the bonus for Holeshots, the stats will not update if you use this method. Also, if you use this method, turn off all assists/difficulty settings so that way you get max SX/XP. Turning everything off but keeping each race a 1 shot added 670% bonus. Keep in mind I've upgraded my bike to the max with gear, so that might help with getting a better finish when dropping out. (I was doing Career mode, if you do Championship mode, just select Dungey, he's the highest rated driver.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To slightly add to this, it seems you get a bit more each time you win a championship so make a custom one (like 2, 3 races short) and at the end you get the credits for winning a championship along with the xp.

I can confirm that the track trophies don't pop using the "Retire from Event" glitch. So it'll be best to do the 450 career season legit I think. (You could do the 250s, but that would require racing Vegas twice.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maayz17 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I'd say that without the rewind button and the "retire from race" mechanic it would probably be a 7/10. But if you don't mind using them it's a 2/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the easiest difficulty setting the AI is basically retarded so in 99% of your races you will win while being 10-15 seconds ahead of the rest. So even without rewind and retire from the race this game is still only 3 or 4/ 10 difficulty no more than that at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-x-TheMayor-x-X Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 For those still having issues with this.. I am the type of player who apparently lays off the throttle completely in air for some reason. Well this slows you way down since it causes you to stick and stop on landing. Once I started keeping my throttle pulled back through the entire jump I was killing the AI. You can use the stick mechanic to your advantage too on jumps ending close to a tight turn. Should have been more obvious to me but I thought I'd share in case others were struggling to even compete against AI set to very easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant 7/10 because it would be a lot more grindy to get 3 million credits and winning the championships and doing online tracks without skipping some races. If a game has a lot of grind I give it a higher score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Alchemist Posted December 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2019 The most difficult thing about this game was trying to connect to the servers for the first few days ? I honestly believe that people are making a mountain out of a molehill regarding the 'difficulty' of this game. It's a 2/10 all day. You can use the easiest settings for everything and you can even save yourself a few hours if you use the retire exploit for the 250 championships. Fair enough, not everyone will find the same things easy, or difficult, but in this case I believe it's blown way out of proportion, and thus we get threads like this because people are put off by the scaremongering. Also I don't get why people are thrashing the game so much, just because they find it difficult. It's actually a fairly decent game and far from Milestone's worst effort. There are worse racers out there 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
