Uuuuuuuuugh I love this game. I played the poo poo out of HD and became quite OCD about beating my friends scores, which he then beat, which I then beat etc etc. This is everything the sequel to HD should have been. Also I might have to tinker around with the level editor at some point, looks pretty good. I've also been having issue with online games, just searches for more players but never finds any.

Fists Up posted:One criticism is I dont like the skill games as much as HD. I'm a big fan of those from the first but I wish they gave us the new ones as well as some of the old like the big ball and towing the missiles. I don't understand how you do the flying one properly, I mash X and Y but I can't get anywhere near gold. Although I really love the UFO one, it seems to control so perfectly.

Yeah I see what you're on about. That moment of realisation in THD with the ski jump was great. 'Oooh you flick the guy forward just as you launch then BAM, I've gone MILES.'

GuardianOfAsgaard posted:Trials Evo has set the record for the highest grossing day-one sales in XBLA history.  It deserves it!I started playing around with the editor today and it's really fun. Although I'm finding it hard to balance the difficulty. Some parts of the track I'm working on are almost at extreme levels, whereas other parts are pretty easy.

Profanity posted:Impressive it's doing that well, it definitely still seems like a steal even at 1200. Haven't played Trials HD for a long time, so I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things, and that familiar sense of impotent rage is returning too. GT: Psamtek Oh hey, I've had you on my friends list for years, my GT is t0mm3h. Possibly from back when Gears of War 1 came out  . Anyone else can add me as well, my leaderboards are rather empty and if anyone needs an ego boost it's not hard to beat my scores.

Profanity posted:Haha oh yeah, hey. You're one of a few goons I had who were playing before I put my name in this thread, so I've been spending the time since I got the game watching your name go by when I gently caress up a jump! Haha it's so drat frustrating when that happens. Think I'm going to go on now and try to get more golds seeing as Diablo III is not happening.

Stokes posted:Am I going to have to deal with these god awful water spouts in any more levels? I'm about to regret my purchase. I don't remember HD having any obstacles so game ruining. Don't worry it's only in that level and I loving hate it. While I do enjoy getting more goons on my leaderboards, it makes me seem a lot less good at this game. Also, is it just me or are platinums much harder to get than in HD? I easily got plats for the beginner and easy levels in HD, but it seems ridiculous now.

Smelly posted:I'm not going to beat a lot of times simply for the fact that I like to do flips as often as possible. I use front flipping in situations where I need more distance after a jump, it's a nice excuse to pretend you're Travis Pastrana.

Arthe Xavier posted:I attempted the Ninja Extreme -course, and I ran out of time ( I was near the end, too ). 30 minutes of soul-crushing agony and cursing. And I loved it. As a veteran of Trials HD I can say that you're going to have a lot of fun trying the rest of the extremes! Although I notice that after trying the extreme tracks, regardless of whether I finished them or not, when I play an easier level I usually ace my high score. I think there's something about the extremes that condition you for the rest of the game.

Hey, I've just finished making my first track. It's nothing special or gimmicky, but I don't think it's (too) bad. I'd love you guys forever if you checked it out, just search my GT - t0mm3h. E: Also let me know what you think, the map editor is quite addictive so I might make more.

drat you Stormrider, your dot is always just an inch in front of me. I think trying to platinum some tracks makes me more mad than trying to complete extreme ones. Also, finally golded the loving water spout one god drat it. Edit: For your own sanity I advise not to watch the top time replays for the extreme tracks.

I just can't do the 2nd obstacle on the wreck. The one where there's a little jump onto a steep incline with a pile of logs at the top. I get onto the incline fine but those loving logs just do not let me past.

Aaaaha finally completed The Wreck, 205/11:48. I properly cheesed some obstacles, I don't think I'd be able to do it again. Last extreme track to complete now is Inferno. Oh God.

I just want to say that already I've played Trials Evo for over 3 times as long as I did for Modern Warfare 3. Granted I only rented MW3 and only played the single player, but I think it goes to show how good this game is in relation to all the 'AAA blockbusters' out there. Also holy poo poo I did the burnt to a crisp achievement. All I can say is thank gently caress that's done.

PirateNipple posted:The 2 shortcuts on Elevation are completely rad (first one is jumping completely over the first checkpoint, second one is launching off the elevator and skipping a good 4 or 5 seconds at the top). I was able to finally hit both in a single run and even with several other mistakes I'm still like 4 seconds faster than the Platinum time. Yeah I discovered that today by looking at the top leaderboard replay, took me a few times as well, especially trying to make it completely over the first checkpoint. I love getting Platinums.

Pocket Billiards posted:Is 'ascent' the hard track with the massive steep hill with a concrete pipe on top? gently caress that part. It's the first obstacle that I can't get past. Got gold on all easy tracks and skill tracks, gold on 2/3rds of medium tracks and silver on the rest, bronzed all the rest of the hard tracks before it first time with a couple of silvers too. The one you're thinking of is Down in the Dumps I think. You have to try and keep the back wheel on the climb up so you pick up enough speed to just fly over the concrete pipe, without flipping over backwards. Feather the throttle a tiny bit to get some control, you'll get it eventually.

Yeah what really helped me was looking at the replays of the person at number 1 on the leaderboard. Some of them are insane, they flip all the time and I can't figure out if they mean to do it or not.

magimix posted:That track is a goddamn Trials atrocity. Track Central is just drowning in lovely gimmick tracks. I really hope it shakes out over time, because its undermining the value of the service, at least so far as what I'm after. It's not going to shake it over time, just look at Happy Wheels.

magimix posted:I have no idea what Happy Wheels is, and I probably don't want to It's similar to Trials in the fact that there's a poo poo load of user generated levels, and the majority of them are the same gimmick levels over and over again. I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Yes, everyone should download this track, it's great. Well-done, doesn't suffer from 'well, it looks like some rear end in a top hat made it' in that it's properly-themed. On my map I tried to keep things a little interesting at least. It doesn't have any theme to it but I did try to fill in some of the background. It just looked stupid and lazy without it.

I've hit a wall now. Golded every non extreme track (and Platinum'd some), and either silvered or bronzed the extreme ones. But now I just can't do any better times on any track. I think I'll just have to settle, goodbye being ~7500 on the leaderboards.

I don't have the Donkey unfortunately. Never did the Unyielding Achievement in HD, it's also only one of two I haven't done in Evo. I was playing supercross yesterday and someone was using the Donkey, it was hilarious.

That one is pretty annoying. You just kind of have to punch it and keep your front wheel up, so you skim the logs with the back one. Good luck with the rest of the level though, I found it harder than Inferno III.

Oddhair posted:I finally got my first Extreme plat after golding every drat thing in the game (well, everything but the extreme tourney and the drat iron ball minigame) Seriously watch the top replay for the Iron Ball minigame. I couldn't do it at all until I watched it then realised everyone cheeses it. On like the second jump you can fling the ball way back off the screen, then just drive the whole map without it. It's like the worst skill game anyway so I didn't need to play it again.

New DLC is out today! Its pretty fun, although the new bike doesn't feel much different to the Phoenix. It's 350cc with exactly the same stats as the Phoenix except one less 'difficulty', whatever that means. poo poo loads more skill games though.

Picked both up since I had planned to get the game at full price back when it came out and never got round to it. Did the user created tracks thing play out as awesomely as it seemed like it had the potential to? Put it this way my friend, you just bought yourself one of the best value for money games that has ever been on the xbox. You're going to be pretty blown away with the caliber of user generated content. There's just so much, and a lot of it is amazing.
