Poll: Do you like the Stallion? | Forums

[xitooner]

Subject says it all.... apparently we have some definite opinions on this one way or the other, and it would be interesting to get a general consensus....

Where's the option for "I'd probably like the Stallion if I was able to control the damn jump feature"?

I personally like the weight of speed bikes, so I favor the Agent over the Stallion. My main issue with the Stallion is that its base speed is atrocious. That being said, the bike is well designed and I have to give RedLynx some props for bravely adding such a gimmicky ride to the game.

If my bike is really maxed, i hate it...

13.157 on the cave just with acceleration, is it normal ??

instead of the stallion and all the hours of work to get this released, spend this time on new and more challenging tracks.

or spend the time on the recalculation of the leaderboards, would please me more.

maybe spend the time fixing the gift box!!!!!! would please everyone i guess!!

its just my obsessive compulsion to complete the game so i had to grind to get it.....

I'm glad I'm almost done collecting horseshoes, because I hate riding the stallion.
I've been asking myself why I don't like this horrible horse, I usually like fun additions to the Trials games that deliver an extra challenge like the skill games in HD and EVO, and I love the donkey. But I can't find any fun in racing the stallion.

Reasons:
- it's slow
- the ability to jump could be fun if there was a better way of using it, I think having to swipe up on the gas button is bad game design choice. I even had to replace my buttons to less convenient positions in order to prevent the race from restarting
- it's really slow
- it's on the same LB as the agent bike, and maybe other crazy bikes in the future
- it's unbelievably slow
- it's big, the position of the rider on the horse is high, on some tracks you hit your head against a pipe or something you have to drive through. Although it was possible to complete all tracks I had to do it was really annoying

I don't think the Stallion is too bad, now that I've learnt how to ride it BUT I think RedLynx needs to look into the problem that everyone seems to have with it.....The upgrades are not making any difference to the bikes speed or grip etc. etc......It's still as slow as it ever was even after fully upgrading it, so why waste all those dohnuts and cash on the upgrades !?!?

Also, It should have been given it's own Leader Board instead of being added to the Agent Leader Board !!

I REALLY hope RedLynx looks into the upgrade problem I mentioned as it's definitely not right !!

Since we all stating our feelings (good or bad) on the Stallion, I will repost/rephrase something I said elsewhere earlier today....

The main issue of why I dont like the Stallion is that its not a bike, and I play this game to ride bikes with skill. Instead, its a weak bike look-a-like with a "hop" added to it to make it competitive. That hop feature simply breaks physical laws I am used to in the game when playing BIKEs. . .and the only way to get good CrazyBike leaderboard positions with it is by spamming that feature to your hearts content. Every time I do better with it I am getting farther from the core of the game I am here to play.

Whats next in the CrazyBike area? Maybe we get a Segway? A monocycle? A shopping cart? There are games out there with this fluff; I dont play them.

In regards to whether having this new bike improves replayability ..... I WAS going to eventually get around to working my way up the Agent LB once I was done with the Donkey....because its a true challenge to use a Speed Bike well on non-speed-bike tracks. Now that Agent+Stallion=CrazyBikes....I feel LESS likely to do that because I know I'll need to work with this spastic monstrosity instead to improve many of the CrazyBike global LB tracks. I feel I just LOST replayability.

My new hope is that some other bike shows up on CrazyBikes that fills the place of a Agile Bike and severely limits the "replayability" of the Stallion. Or as others have rightly said, fix it by splitting the Agent/Stallion LBs. . .I dont care if we have a Stallion as long as its isolated with other such fluff.

I am really glad the Stallion is working for some folks; we all are here looking for different challenges and thats great....but the Stallion just doesnt work for me.

I voted like, but if the jump feature was easier to use I would have voted really like. It needs to be a separate button.

[flooodi]

Like many other said, the jump needs a button...

otherwise, I'm just getting hang of the riding the stallion... it's tricky but actually very much fun when successfully rode.
I'm not sure yet' will I like it or hate it... but it's still better than the donkey!
