After three weekends of playing nothing but Fantasy Cup when I played Trials, I finally platinumed it! I was close on several other occasions this weekend, finishing 2 seconds too slow, and crashing twice right near the end of Spiderweb.
During this run of three weekends, I managed to improve 4 of the 6 track times while playing the tourney, so I'll have to go back and improve those times on the single tracks later.
Now on to Nervous Breakdown for my final platinum!![]()
Congrats! Fantasy Cup and Nervous Breakdown are definitely two of the hardest platinums to get. I also struggled a lot with Big Thrills Countdown - damn you Flight School!
God I hated Fantasy Cup. I think I might still have an imprint of the guide button in the middle of my forehead from all the chokes.
Congratz, this tournament is without a doubt in the top 3 hardest for platinums.
Really hope evo will count times you get in tournaments, it sucks beating your record only to have the time not count.
What??? Tournament times don't "count" in Trials HD? This is news to me... they obviously still affect your rank on the individual tournaments... are you saying that they don't have an effect on your global rank?Originally Posted by Barrett
It just means that if for instance, House of Horrors is in a tourney, and you beat your regular time while playing through the tourney, it doesn't improve your time for the single track.Originally Posted by Malachyte
Yea I hate that you can beat your times in tourneys and they won't count. Don't think it's going to be any different in Evo. I would've had a couple more WRs if they did count.
And holy hell, 3 weeks playing one tournament? I'd probably quit Xbox and jump off a bridge! Congrats though, persistence almost always pays off.
Congrats Lespritdelescal! Was that one of the things I was beating you in (only like 3 races/tournies)?
Nice job man. It was very hard for me to platinum it to. And a tip on Nervous Breakdown which sounds weird but you have to just all out speed run it. That's how i got platinum and 3rd.
Don't listen to this kid.Originally Posted by Monstified
