I think I'm gonna pass on this as well. 1200 points is too much for this game, and it doesn't even play as well as it does on the PC.

If it turns up on the deal of the week, I may reconsider...

Right, maybe I'm just a bit thick, but what the hell are you supposed to actually do in this game?

I played the first two tutorial missions and all you seemed to do was hold down the right trigger. What am I missing?

You are supposed to make it to the end of the levels without crashing and burning. That's about it. But the levels are laid out in such a way that they will make your brain hurt trying to figure out how to make it to the end in one piece. They put glass panes, pieces of wood, metal etc in the way so you have to fiddle around with your speed and angle etc.

It's extremely fun and extremely frustrating as well.

I personally thought the SAME exact thing, that this is Excitebike 2009. Exactly, except WAY WAY better than I ever could have imagined it to be.

I basically can dominate on Beginner & Easy, and then it is pretty much ALL down hill from there. :laugh: I am basically still on some of the later levels in Medium, have not even bothered with anything above that yet, and I honestly just cannot see me getting Gold on most of them, cause gold means 0 faults, and I just do not see it happening before I lose my mind.

So as much as I absolutely love the game, it is also one of the more frustrating games I have played in a long, long time. At times it is the good kind of frustrating, as I happen to really find an appeal in practice makes perfect type games and nailing the "ultimate run," but at other times it just sucks as it is so damn annoying. LOL

And I also see why no custom tracks have been made. I played around with the Editor today and while it is not incredibly hard to use, it is also not super easy to use either and I just do not thing I personally have the patience to get a track done myself.

What else... Oh, love the replay option, just so cool how you can see the top persons run, helps alot.

Skills are also fun, but some of them I am just like dumfounded lost with. Like the stairs one, even when I watch my top Friend on the leaderboard's run to see what needs to be done, when I do it, just does not work...

Which reminds me, a HUGE AMOUNT OF RESPECT to RatherLargeBear. DAMN Man, you are truly a pro at this game, my hats off to you and your domination on the skills and higher levels.

Only thing, I would have loved to see that Amazon coupon before I purchased it which I did not, as while I do not think $15 was really to much, I do feel if I paid $10 it would have been a perfect price for it.

Trying to decide whether to get this, or save for shadow complex. Oh the dilemma.

That was my dilemma as well, as I am getting Shadow Complex without a doubt, but I can say without even playing Shadow Complex that they are two very, very different games.

If that amazon deal NoLimit06 posted a few pages back is still active, I would use that. $10 is a great price for this game. It is.

It's now $15 on that link.

It is $15 but you get $5 mp3 credit on their music store. I bought it through amazon but haven't gotten the mp3 coupon yet. In any case, I can pay directly pay by credit card (Y) instead of MS points (N).

      Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By Case_f · Posted

      Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)

      Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.

    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
