I assume you are playing on PC, as I can’t justify an extensive PC upgrade right now, I’m stuck on my PS5 - but I’ve also heard good things about the console.
Yep, expert difficulty in the original game is not enough; the Al is capped at 432 km/h at expert. The new game is like playing at master difficulty.
Ah this explains a lot, thanks! I already played a bit of the OG F-Zero… and now I even wish more for a new one.
That's okay then, it took me quite some while for my first win, I think it was B+ or A-. So don't worry.
Good to know, I thought I was missing something :)
Regarding power management: Did you finish Port Town I in practice mode under the time limit for the achievement? You need to use boosts where you normally wouldn't (well aside directly from the start).
I wasn’t aware… I will try this later!
And regarding the pack: I drive as if they weren't there (while using spin attack), meaning I drive my optimal racing line and I often can clear the pack in difficulty corners fast. Well except Mute City.
Haha, this is easier said than done, but I think my racing line is (obviously) not as great as I thought.
I already sold my physical copy and I really don’t regret it at all.
My group of friends and I where really excited and played through the story together, but the endgame just wasn’t fun.
I don’t know what exactly it was, but we kinda stoped playing.
The new season and “patches” didn’t really improve it a lot imho… a shame, really!
Is Master the difficulty you have to unlock? I can’t remember, so probably not. I have it unlocked though…
I have no problems at all with the things you mentioned:
I always get the good boost
I press down while jumping
cornering: let go of trottle (if needed) and use L/R
the power management I have not completely mastered tbh
As silly as it sounds, the problem are the other cars (as always haha), but for real: once I’m in the pack I’m loosing speed and get pushed all over the place… even with the spin attack. And then I’m stuck there and usually end up around 30.
My rating is B+ now, I usually beat 3/4 opponents. And I think I’m around level 15.
Of course there are still a few driver errors, but I struggle most with getting out of the pack, if you now what I mean.
I always remind myself to do this… Interesting post but no comments? Just add the first comment and a conversation will start - for me at least, there was always somebody commenting.
Yup, the rabbit hole is quite deep. That’s only the people we know to have been targeted by this version Pegasus, I’m sure the dark figure is much higher.
Yeah, that’s true. I think that also Honda was not completely ready and the failure with mclaren helped them to become what they are now.
It’s going the be really interesting to see what will happen to AM… how long will stroll be in the seat if he keeps underperforming? Will alonso stay?
