Trials HD - "worse than crack cuz u gotta go out and get crack"

hey ur time on hard 1 is pretty good!!!

when i say "getting there" i mean TO THE FRONT OF THE PACK

Man these hard and expert levels are fucking impossible.

I'm so pissed - I keep raping my score and my friends but I cannot for the life of me do the last section consistently :(

shiiiii - my friend is 21 and I'm 22 now on hard 1

sorry this is my trials blog

this game seems very frustrating

"trials and tribulations" and "king of the hill" on hard, cannae do at all. there's one slope in the former, with an extra fat plank nailed halfway up, that i've had over 100 goes at.

I can't do king of the hill, don't think I can even get over the first obstacle : /

ditto. i keep on wondering if a 500cc bike is gonna appear... but i doubt it.

btw just found you can change yr threads and bike colour and stuff.

grar my first RAGEQUIT. Was getting to the end of probably a gold medal run on Underground, and completely forgot how to get up slopes :/

there's one slope in the former, with an extra fat plank nailed halfway up, that i've had over 100 goes at.

Seriously, fuck that plank.

I remember back when I had plans to do things today.

I think I need to stop playing this now. It's moved into ugly obsession. And I'm not very good!

How long has this game been out now, 3 days? You're all going to burn out by the end of the first week.

look, jimd, if we want to turn into hunched tangled knots of RSI that's our prerogative

well I manage to finish king of the hill

105 restarts

I think I was approaching 200 last time - still unsuccesful. Made it over the first hill but couldn't do the later one with the oil barrel in the middle.

Still, check my hill climb score, bitches.

My modest quest today was to get silvers in all Medium races, and I did it!

And in the process, i got a high score on one of them! (until reg or coz decide to go back and reclaim it, anyway.)

4 of us curently in the top 10,000 globally - good job Team ILG!

Got my first time out, only two-thirds of the way through the second extreme track :(
also can't get over first bit of king of the hill :(
claw hand :(

Got my first Hard silver, which was exciting.

Watching the videos of the top scorers really has helped quite a bit.

I've only managed the big hill and the annoying double plank slope on trials and tribulations once each. Maybe it's time to hit the vids.

unfair bombardment

faultless and around 46 seconds

post some times delmot, I'ma smash you

not my screen but fuck this bit of "technique" imo
http://ded.zenblue.net/trials_technique.jpg

fuck the two parallel iron slats at the start of concrete dreams and the first set of boxes on king of the hill too while we're at it

xp don't quite recall it but it doesn't look too hard!

Nearly reached the 500 fault limit on Inferno II last night. Got up to 470 before I timed out. I think I went slightly mad.

will post some times this eve...

yeah it doesn't look too hard that's why it's so fkn frustrating

nah you don't need to post times (that's what the leaderboard functionality's for innit) I'm just goading 8P

aye well i've gotta goad ya back.

got the unyielding achievement, that was quite fun.

holy smokes reginald's outing on the hill climb is the sickness~~~

nice work

no no no no i shd NOT have got this game

^^^^^^^OTM except it's amazing except it's infuriating too

yes

just watched that utub of the final level, lol now i know what i have to look forward to

I watched cozwn beat a level and was like dang.

how I roll

INFERNO II

SHIT ON ME

minimal opportunities for playing this w/end. bad for my ranking, good for my heart.

battlefield 1943 made me want to buy a big flatscreen because i love it and i want to see wtf is goin on

this made me sit down and start playing after work, not realize that i had played until after 9pm, the house was dark and i had to piss like a racehorse

WHICH IS WORSE.

the prices on those flat screen TVs have come down a lot

Yeah, I'm also keeping battlefield on hold until I get me a bigger telly.

Man, a couple of days off from Trials and it all goes to shit.

Finally completed the last two, Going Up and Inferno II. I never want to see them in my life again.

Finally got silvers in all of the Hard tracks except King of the Hill.

ledge did you get a bike for completing all the levelz?

Doesn't look like it, I daresay it comes when you complete all tournaments.

ugh, f that

Two shittily-timed accidental restarts driving me toward madness.

ok to get the final bike you have to get gold in the national cup, which is a pain in the arse. then you get a shitty 60cc mini donkey bike.

only got one achievement to go - marathon, complete the ultimate endurance with no faults. that's 24 tracks - as if.

Can't seem to get over the first part of King of the Hill :(
Any advice?

Did beat my first EXTREME track today though - got to the last little bit in 15 or so minutes with only 200 or so faults, but then almost didn't make it to the end as I started to panic - a good 200 restarts for the last couple of inches, which was weird as a couple of the earlier parts seemed harder

Also crazy platinum trophies unlocked, not doing that shit

Can't seem to get over the first part of King of the Hill :(
Any advice?

Are you watching the videos of the high scores? Those are great for figuring out how to do particular parts of levels.

The first part of King of the Hill, I am pressing right as I slowly progress up the hill. Then about 1/3 of the way up I stop leaning right and quickly accelerate, with no lean, and that seems to usually get me airborne enough to grab hold of something at the top.

I'm iforry72, will go through and add everyone on the thread too.

Finally unlocked the extreme tracks, but I feel like that's my limit - not sure I have it in me to tackle those soul destroyers this time around.

Inferno 3 is so hard. I can't even get 2/5 of the way through it.

It's so frustrating because in my mind I know exactly how to get past this one part and it's a total echo from a tough part of Inferno 1, but no dice. Fail fail fail fail. And then my finger is bleeding and I'm like fuck this shit.

jesus i'm tearing my hair out trying to gold the medium tracks.

i quickly hit a wall with the megahard shit in the first one, surely this will be no different...

we need ledge in this piece, he was a damn fiend

i remember one from the first game where it started with a double bunny hop onto a post the size of a mailbox. like at that point the sense of enjoyment kind of diminshes

I have had a lot of fun improving on the easy, medium and hard tracks. Even if I never spend the time to do the extreme tracks, I feel like the game is completely great and totally worth buying. I also still need to check out some community tracks, and maybe try to build one of my own.

the community tracks can be great, though a number are totally broken. the local multiplayer is excellent fun.

I can't consistently bunny hop. My downfall.

ok, i'm in.

i love that you can sort of control your driver when he's laying on the ground after a crash (left trigger curls him into the fetal position, right trigger makes him flop around convulsively?). spent way too much time getting him to flop down the beach into the water after falling hundreds of feet. but it turns out he can do the backstroke, so totally worth it.

fuck a gigatrack yall

i mean it's not all that **hard** but my emotional capacity wrt dealing with intense frustration fizzles at like 2-3 minutes so most tracks are fine. that shit is sadistic.

it feels like a totally different game when you're cruising through a new set of tracks, crashing all the time and just trying to finish vs. trying to maintain zen focus and get silver/gold.

also it is annoying to see 'goole' doing better than me on every single track.

dude just wait 'til ledge gets in here

stop tempting me

i don't wanna ruin my life

Have any of you guys finished the Extreme tracks?

i think i cleared one gate on one of them

I still need to finish Inferno 3. Very frustrating to have only one track incomplete.

seriously what

http://www.ign.com/wikis/trials-evolution/Way_Of_The_Ninja

i am absolutely useless at the trick/technical/slow/balance type shit

jesus

psh that dude faults a bunch of times.

i'm worried about being able to get 50 medals to get to the next set of medium tracks. :(

i got to that double-up wooden ramp in that rack after, swear to god, 20 mins and about 150 faults. i can't do 'simple' stuff like that; there are obv stock techniques for getting more height, more distance, etc, out of a given jump based on your lean as you exit and in midair but i just don't get it :/

Measuring yourself against the best guys in the game is a recipe for heartbreak.

I have done a couple of the extreme ones, don't think I'm going to do all of them. I find myself going through old tracks, spending ages getting gold and still getting stuck at second behind polyphonique every time.

yesss i beat inferno 3 finally, yayyy

what's the strategy for choosing bikes? i've just been picking the fastest/newest one for everything.

Scorpion 450 when I need power, Phoenix Evo 250 when I need finesse.

finally played this. god damn. i can't decide whether i love it or hate it's very existence.

Both Trials games on sale on XBL today, though Evo is only 33% off, so I'll wait until it's inevitably on sale again for 50%
