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).

    • Louis Rossmann suing Samsung over "990 Pro SSD warranty scam"

      But it opens the floodgates to anyone who gets a refund instead of a replacement (since refund will buy you a 1/3rd of the capacity it did years ago)

      He has planned to file a lawsuit in small claims court so it'll only be a $1000 lesson assuming he wins. That's likely a fraction of what Samsung spends on toilet paper on a daily basis.
    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support by Usama Jawad For the past few months, Microsoft has been previewing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for Windows DNS Server, touting it as a foundational upgrade for zero-trust enterprise networks. It essentially introduces encrypted, authenticated DNS for the networks rather than transmitting DNS traffic in clear. Now, the company has introduced the general availability (GA) of this feature. The GA of DoH encourages organizations to deploy the solution in production environments without implementing a new client-to-resolver architecture. DoH helps improve the overall security of the network and reduces the risk of spoofing due to its zero-trust design. This is a significant change because pretty much every interaction with the network requires interfacing with DNS. DoH offers several advantages over standard DNS traffic, such as encryption using HTTPS, preventing unauthorized inspection, man-in-the-middle attacks, and traffic analysis. Since it leverages TLS certificates so that clients can verify the identity of the DNS server, it prevents spoofing through this authentication mechanism. Additionally, it's built on the DoH standard defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which means that it should work with modern RFC 8484-compliant clients. Finally, it integrates into the existing network architecture seamlessly and can even run in parallel with standard DNS, so that customers can migrate to the new technology at their own pace. Microsoft says that in the past few months of preview, DoH has become more stable, and customers can confidently deploy it in production environments with proper guidance. Microsoft has emphasized that migrating to DoH is necessary for organizations that are moving toward zero-trust DNS solutions. Windows clients already support DoH, but the latest availability on Windows Server provides encrypted DNS to all endpoints. The company has also mentioned that "while this release focuses on encrypting client-to-resolver communication, support for encrypted communication between Windows DNS Server and upstream DNS resolvers is planned for a future update." You can follow Microsoft's guidance to deploy DoH here, but keep in mind that you need a Windows Server 2025 installation with the latest Patch Tuesday updates installed.
