F-Zero GX

[PH]

Saying that - I tried beating your Sand Ocean time last night with the Cosmic Dolphin and couldn't come anywhere close.

Ditto.

Tried to beat the time using the Twin Noritta last night. Best time so far is 2'07"305.

[PH]

Yeah I switched over to Twin Noritta, Little Wyvern and a couple others for Time Attack

I started with the Twin Noritta. Now moved onto the Sonic Phantom and i'm improving my lap times.

The subtitle translations I gave erm aren't... just something I decided on from playing them. Having said that, the FAQ on Gamefaqs currently uses at least one of them

The controls, even though they are welded to the wideness now, are still a little twitchy with some craft at extreme speed. But you just need a rock analogue stick and thumbs of steel to control it properly. More practice needed

It's like a hard game... I'm used to it coming from the 80s... like people only want easy games today?!

The Sonic Phantom is the only way to fly.

Have yet to experiment 'in-depth style' with the custom craft however - I'm waiting to unlock more parts from story mode.

Supergoal: I might convert it into html and give it it's own little website. Don't worry, the gfx will look cool if I do get around to it. I just need to get ahold of track gfx and other elements such as the 'in-game' ship icons from somewhere. It's quite a bit of work.

I could integrate a form to fill out whenever you score a new time.

Perhaps when I unlock everything I'll get around to it. All my spare time at the moment is spent on the game. LOL.

If the game was online compatible we wouldn't have this problem. Creating forum leaderboards is soooo 2001.

"Story mode 2 looks flippin' impossible to me!"

"The second task on Story mode is impossible."

"A few people here have tried it. It took a while even to do the 3 laps in 60 secs, never mind collecting 30 capsules."

This true?

I've done Missions 1, 3, 4 and 6 on normal and hard.
Missions 2 and 5 have been completed on Very hard, thus unlocking the 'ultra elusive to anyone outside of Japan' AX racers.

Yes - the game is helluva hard - but to any persevering gamer they're not that bad. I stayed up from 1:30am to 4:00am this morning playing on V.hard mission 5 eventhough I had work at 8am. It may be testicle-constrictingly hard, but it is addictive and rewarding.

Mayhem and Supergoal are still stuck on mission 4. Yet Mayhem is 'way ahead' further than me on GP mode which I'm finding painful at the moment. I'm gonna throw 9 hours at the bastard tonight.

Mission 2 is piss easy - I could probably do the v.hard task 5 out of every 10 tries. It's all about memorising the lines in between the rolling boulders and boosting at the right time.

Mission 1 on v.hard is a different story.

Those people complaining about the difficulty are just pure wimps who have probably only been playing games since the PSX came out. It's truly shameful that they should be allowed near such excellence when genuine X fans on here are still waiting for it to turn up on their doorsteps.

I know I was crying earlier about the difficulty but that has all been resolved, we've made up again now.

YAY i got it !!!!

I went to Goblin and picked it up !!

Im all excited !

[Papercut]

Can someone give me a brief explanation of the sensitivity set up? What's the blue circle in the middle for?

Thats the dead zone. Movement of the control stick within the blue circle doesn't move your ship.

Absolutely true. I told you this game is absolutely bastard hard. In order to do all the story mode challenges you will need to learn every nuance and meander of the game engine.

Exactly - This game is for the hardcore only. If you're not prepared to play this game constantly for around about 4 days you might as well buy VJ or something.

Personally - It's turning out to be my fave F-Zero out of the lot and easily my fave racer of all time. This could even see a top 10 spot on my all time faves list after a couple of years.

Mmmm... Looking at that wrapped copy on page 1 of this thread still makes my mouth water.

I'm gonna throw 9 hours at the bastard tonight.

Lol i had a funny mental picture of that.

[AllYourBase]

Ok peeps I got the game finally today - how do I adjust the god-damn senesitivity of the craft?? (a search here didnt help me! - thread too big now!!)

Cheers for any help!! May have to buy the US version later!! Fab game thou!!

[Streets Of Rage]

check from page 28 or so im sure saur has explained it since then !!!

[vic_viper]

****! Don't you just hate it when you have an 'off day'?

I'll be the first to admit i'm no where near the skill level of some of the others on this thread (yet) but i'm better than this. I've just put an hour in since i got home from work and i'm all over the place. I can't seem to be able to make a turn without rattling off the barriers or plummeting to my doom.

I'm gonna have something to eat and give it another try. Hopefully this last hour or so won't have knocked my confidence too much to be able to recover.
