Crippled by forced bike choice | Forums

[Starvin_Martin]

Lately we have been forced to ride alot of bad bikes. The agent bike, the stallion bike and the "speed" bikes to collect the bronco bucks.
I for one hate having to constantly ride these ****ty bikes, and think that it is plenty having to ride them during showdowns.

3 questions follow.

1. To the players. Does anyone really enjoy the challenge of having to ride these constantly, or do you feel the same way I do?

2. To all. Since there are 3 bikes with separate leaderboards, and each time we get a new bike, it gets a new leaderboard, would it not be FUN to get a bike that is MORE capable than the current bikes for a change?

3. To the devs. I know you are a company, and your main goal is to make money. But dont you care about the fun factor in your game at all? Or what is your reasoning about the bikes/missions I mentioned?


EDIT: I meant the horse bike, not the bronce. sorry, my bad. But I do not like any of the speed bikes either tho

The bronco is a "bad" bike? Sacrilege; I love my Bronco; its one of favs!

I have no problems at all with the traditional bikes (including speed bikes like Bronco/Marauder)... and I really like the Donkey (which is both powerful and acrobatic and worth all the trouble to get it). I will gladly do anything with them.

I am less thrilled with the "wounded water buffalo" Agent Bike, and the "spastic giraffe" Stallion, and so it does sort of offend me to be forced to play them in recent events. Its not that they are bad (I can actually ride the Agent quite effectively for all its faults); I just dont prefer them at all.

would it not be FUN to get a bike that is MORE capable than the current bikes for a change?

That was the Donkey, really. (and now the "Agent+Stallion" share the Crazy Bikes leaderboard which was a nice touch by RL; we didnt need any more LBs)

Or what is your reasoning about the bikes/missions I mentioned?

There is nothing in this game at the top level to sink your coin/gems/parts into; they needed to engage people or lose them, so they came up with these bikes... and since they share the same tracks they are getting double benefit from all their past hard work.

I really didn't like the Stallion at first but I've figured out how to ride it now and it's grown on me, now I like it and I'm quite enjoying the various challenges as it's a nice break from the norm, I just wish it was a little more upgraded, which is what we have to look forward to when we finally get 50.000 Horseshoes.....Also, I think it would of been better if it did have it's own Leader Board like the Donkey as it's such a unique bike, it doesn't compare to the others that's on the Leader Board with it and has no business being put together with them in my opinion, I would of liked to see how my times were doing against other Stallion times !!

I'm not too keen on the Agent Bike that's why I haven't added any upgrades to it yet.....That will be the last one I upgrade and get used to, but I do like the Bronco Bike though, it's a great bike once it's upgraded.

The Donkey is just a mad little bike which takes a LOT of getting used to, but again, once you do get used to it, it's a quality bike !!

Each bike has it's own characteristics, handling, style and abilities which come with their own level of skill to ride successfully and master, so it's the same with anything, practice makes perfect.

At least there's a good variety of bikes and tracks to cater for everyone, there's always going to be people that don't like certain bikes & tracks where-as other people do etc. etc. that's just the way of the world and to be honest, it would be a pretty boring place if we all like the same things don't you think !?


That's my 2cents anyway !!

I love the Stallion, and it's at 0/0/0/0 so imagine how awesome it will be when maxed!

I hate the Agent bike though, and while I like the Donkey, I absolutely despise pretty much every slot machine quest I get with it, because it's usually something that is WAY too hard and takes forever.

This is a lot of content though and I wish the other stuff was fixed first, plus I am overwhelmed with new tracks now when I am still obsessed with "perfecting" the old ones.

So true.!

I enjoy riding the bronco. It's refreshing and it works better than the agile bike for certain tracks. The Agent bike was extremely fun for me because of how challenging it was to handle. The mean, heavy physics of it made conquering tracks that much more fulfilling.
I don't much like the Stallion thus far, but I presume it's because I've yet to upgrade it. Once I get more traction, hop and speed, I'm sure there will be endless possibilities to completing difficult tracks in unique ways. The track purchase set seems to be tailor made for a fully upgraded stallion.
The Donkey is a pain, like ice skating, but I still get enjoyment from it. Hardcore slot challenges are purposeful for the donkey because once can actually pull of let's say 10-15 flips in either direction whilst having to get a gold medal. Agile bike have their disadvantages, but I don't think it's fair to bash speed bikes or the whacky ones. They add new dynamics to track approach which makes the game less of a one trick pony. (Hehe)
Hopefully this game continues to grow as it has, because it is by far the best physics based time trial game I have ever played on a phone.

I guess I am in my own little world... I really enjoy the Agent bike, I have it Maxed and really enjoy it. It certainly isn't the best performing bike by any measure, but I do love the speed! The Stallion bike started on my nerves, but it really has grown on me, it just really takes some getting use to. The Donkey is an odd little thing, I am taking my time upgrading it, simply because the darn frosted nuts are hard to get...

Just my thoughts... I am enjoying the horseshoe gathering... though I don't know that I am going to be able to put in the time to gather the 50,000 or so needed to get the bike, I only have 4,443 now and there are only 19 days left.

Cheers

I am really surprised seeing some of you being positive to these bikes.
But glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't like being forced to ride them.

If you like theese bikes, are you are saing is actually that you like having bad controls?

I like games where you feel that you, the player is the limiting factor, not the characters/bikes abilities, Where your abilities is what is rewarded, not how well you can adapt to the games shortcommings. A great example of good controls is super meat boy. The controls is what took that from a mediocre game to an absolutely legendary platformer.

[Starvin_Martin]

I would much rather see more able bikes and harder tracks than just same style tracks and worse bikes

[SiCkiD48]

How much more dynamic can the controls get for a mobile game. If thus game were on a PC, then I'd be upset, but it's free to play and tailored towards casual gamers or those whom play Trials Fusion and need a fix for a trials based game. But every game deserves hard criticism, then developers know what to work on. So keep it coming
