goferchan: Feb 8, 2004; It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.

Anyone else picking this up? All the reviews basically say the extra poo poo they added on is annoying but the actual racing and level design is the best it's ever been . There are over 100 levels which is pretty insane . I'm playing on PS4 but friend leaderboards are now cross-platform for the first time ever (along with custom tracks) so i'll post my ubisoft name or whatever when this poo poo finishes downloading . I get really competitive with these games so I hope some other pimps are down

Like when you got "Really competitive" about Smash Bros and were going to show the world you were "easily the best Smash player in the Imp Zone"? I give it a week before your replaying Dead Cells Extremely Normal Mode again kid. Topic Locked.

One new annoyance is something that's been inevitable: microtransactions. The loot boxes and microtransactions in Trials Rising are omnipresent. Every time you level up, you get a loot box to open up. If you take on the Challenger Mode, which unlocks at level 24, and successfully beat the other ghost players within your limited three chances, you're rewarded with special "Challenger Crates."

On most parts of a bike (and cosmetic items for your character), you can slap 200 stickers on it. So if you want your bike to be a rusty red that looks akin to Kaneda's bike from Akira, you can do your darndest. In most loot boxes, I was opening up lots of cosmetic duplicates that you can "sell" for additional Trials Coins. With Trials Coins, you can eventually build out your bike library with two additional novelty bikes; the total amount of bikes in the game are six, starting you off with the Squid, with the other three unlocking as you progress.

I've only been able to buy one so far, as they're very expensive. With microtransactions, you can always just buy them outright with the Acorn currency. (Acorns can also be earned in-game by finding collectibles in levels and participating in the seasons of global multiplayer.) I saved up 15,000 Trials Coins through my blood, sweat, and tears, and around level 40 I bought the Donkey�an adorable scooter that is actually hellish to ride.

This game rules .... so much epic content . Tracks feel much closer to Trials Evo than Fusion, even the easy tutorial tracks have lots of hidden paths and ways to optimize your time

I'm both impressed and annoyed with the way they match you with random ghosts from the leaderboard. It does a really good job picking people close to my skill level and even on my first run through a track the first place ghost is usually just a couple seconds ahead of me. But as far as I can tell you can't race against your own ghost or friends ghost anymore and the former was really helpful when trying to improve my time

goferchan: Feb 8, 2004; It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.

Oh actually you can race against friend ghosts, you just have to go to the leaderboard and manually hit "race against" . Still wish they populated automatically tho, that was one of my favorite things in Trials Evo
