Finally got the gold on Ice Climb. Only been playing for about 6 hours today. I think I've hit my skill barrier for now though, the expert tracks just aren't yielding to me. Edit: only 22m off platinum. I'm going back for more. Maw fucked around with this message at 22:29 on May 7, 2014 |

You do all the other obstacles, the finish line is right there, you can see it, all you have to do is perch on a platform that's about 5% wider than your bike is and do an immaculate bunny hop. Easy, right?

I get worse at this the more I play. I almost put my controller through the television today before realizing I had popped a vicodin earlier, which makes me extremely grumpy, and probably should not being playing Trials.

You can try holding the space bar and it will continually pause and unpause the video for a fake slowmo effect.

Your best bet would be to download it and then play it in a player that you can step through frame by frame. Pretty sure VLC media player has this capability and it's open source freeware from sourceforge ( link ) Supposedly the lack of rewind/frame by frame in replays is because something about those would break replay synchs in previous games. So far I haven't seen that replay desynch issues in Fusion.

I never really hurt my hands playing trials, but when I first started I realized I tended to not blink while playing. My eyes were really sore/watery after my first marathon and it hurt to play the next day.

TheGreatGildersneeze posted:I've found the best thing to do is just walk away from a track after enough boned attempts, especially if your play has been degrading over time. Definitely this. Some of the hard tracks that I've struggled to get a silver on for hours, I've managed to gold on my first try after taking a break to have a cup of tea and watch tv/revise/do anything that isn't trials for a bit. I guess the more you fail the more frustrated and on edge you get, and I always seem to do better when I relax.

I think you tend to try and brute force things when you fail it consistently, like you'll just gun the accelerator and hope you can get through it. It's a simple thing, but you have to remind yourself that if your approach isn't working, it probably wont work the next hundred times, you need to change it up. Got a bit through Inferno IV, up to the bit where you have to hop off the wheel onto the barrels before running out of tries. It's hard

My eyes were really sore/watery after my first marathon and it hurt to play the next day. I recall reading an article about this, as you get more involved in a game you end up blinking less and your eyes dry out. You can tell when I've been gaming all weekend because the following Monday I look like I'm stoned. My eyes end up being so red from staring at a screen and not blinking much. I've hurt my hands playing games, usually from getting too involved and using a death grip on my control.

Nibbles141 posted:Got a bit through Inferno IV, up to the bit where you have to hop off the wheel onto the barrels before running out of tries. It's hard I'm not sure if this helps, but the method I eventually figured out was this: after pressing 'b' and respawning on the wheel, let your bike roll back for a fraction of a second, then hit the gas and bunny hop across the gap. (You need to get a good wheelie going into the bunny hop or else you won't make it.) The goal is to plant your back tire on the top of the bottom-most barrel, then lean forward to surge to the top of the barrel pile, then bounce your back tire off of the top barrel to get some air so you clear the explosive, then bounce across the rail to the checkpoint. All the videos I watched involved stopping on the bottom barrel to get the angle right, but I've always had better luck just gunning it.

I might try gunning it next time. Got the same tip from Youtube too but just couldn't hit the rotation at the top of the stack to hop off it. I was only hitting the barrels in like 1 of 20 goes so I ended up starting from static instead of trying to power through it. In about 400 tries I only cleared the barrels two or three times, one was so close too arrrrgh

Doesn't help that the DS4 is a POS. Sony will however replace them under warranty for no charge other than the cost to ship to them.

I've been making some progress on Inferno IV, I can get to the obstacle at 2:20 in this video pretty consistently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAZkwIzyptY but that is where I spend all my retries :| I've gotten past it 2 times, but without fail I'll be at roughly 450 retries by then so I get one or two obstacles further before reaching 500

I happen to like the DS4 as a controller But it is undeniably too fragile. I seem to remember, after the first DS4 broke, describing my silver 360 controller (many years old and going strong) to a friend as a "tank that can dance ballet". Seriously, I could hammer in nails with this thing[1]. Say what you will about MS, they know peripherals.[1] Since I've no viable DS4, I've been grinding out plats in the PC version, because I apparently can't stand to go an evening without playing Trials. I have a funny thought in my head that I'll maintain a rotation of DS4's henceforth, having the current good, working one to keep me going while I wait for the RMA'd ones to come back, in time for the current one to bust and be RMA'd. Or maybe I break the cycle, and pay a machinist to make full-on metal custom triggers to replace the plastic ones. (I would totally do this, if the cost of the custom triggers was not too much more than the cost of a DS4 )

[1] "Performance issues" might be somewhat a misnomer. Sometimes the game will run at half speed, and sometimes it won't. There is no rhyme nor reason to it I can discern. It is not bound to resolution or graphics options, and no particular part of the game is more or less affected than any other (it can even happen when you aren't racing!). Sometimes a session will be fine. Sometimes it'll poo poo the bed for the first track of a given tier only. Sometimes it'll happen on a checkpoint restart. Sometimes it'll sort itself after a few minutes. Sometimes restarting the game helps, but sometimes it doesn't.

You don't need a weekly/nightly check to make sure you haven't added a new graphics card or some bullshit. -scheduled virus scans, etc. -Flash Player. This was the number one culprit for me. Fortunately I have a laptop as well as a desktop atm, so I just set that up to handle monitoring my stream, but god drat does that bloated piece of CPU/Memory gobbling poo poo cause issues with hogging the CPU to no end. Edit: Once I cleaned up the garbage running in the background, the game went from occasionally chugging on low settings to a rock-solid 60FPS on high, and my system is old as gently caress (1st Gen i5-750, nvidia GTX-670, no SSD, onboard sound, etc).

"Oh, you're playing a CPU/GPU intensive game? That seems like the perfect time to run all these CPU hogging processes!"

TheGreatGildersneeze posted:Yeah, despite their best efforts, game developers haven't developed magic wands to just zap away those pesky bugs yet. Just some acknowledgement that they're working on things would be nice. Even their official twitter has been nearly silent, which is a world away from the constant chatter of Trials Evo's launch. As it stands, you've got really weird (and big) issues like even high-end PCs taking 30+ seconds to load the garage screen, and the game crashing very regularly if you move through Track Central too quickly.
