Yeah, and if you do organise something make it around midnight so I have a chance of joining you! lol

I'm up for that too, blinged up and ready to go

Anyone thinking of trying the Elite difficulty Campaign medal, if you you have any love for this game at all, DON'T!

Just got the Meltdown races to go and it's becoming ever increasingly frustrating. I thought once I got this trophy I'd be done with it, then I spotted the Arcade Perfect trophy which is likely going to be just as bad. I can't afford new Dualshocks but I fear I'll need them soon.

So we have 4/8 so far with

campaign skins

. Anyone else?

I started on that road, gave up about halfway through. I completed most of the races on skilled in the first place, but the meltdown stuff was hard enough then.

Agreed that phantom speed + elite AI is frustratingly difficult with regards to getting pummelled by CPU weapons. The only strategies that seem to work are hacking your way through from the back of the pack, which relies too much on item luck, or getting out in front early, which again relies on enemy item luck. Ho hum.

What are these things you speak of?

You get a

fourth skin for each team

when you get a medal on every cell in Campaign.

Spot on. I think I said the other day, but I don't feel like I'm winning because I'm good, but because luck went in my favour. Shame really as the game was fantastic before this. I'm just stubborn now.

Sweet, I got the last level too and just stopped playing this. Will need to go back. And you say there's a trophy for 8 people who have done the above that race together or something?

Complete an online single race with 8 players, all with

ships decked out with campaign skins

unlocks a trophy yes.

[Papercut]

Do we have enough people here to try that out?

I am simultaneously amused and disgusted at how pointless and awkward earning the bling parade trophy is if I'm honest. Not a huge fan of atrophements in the first place, yet I still want to get it

Yeah this is the first time I've ever played a game and specifically gone after achievements/trophies. Not sure why either. As I said, I've found the last couple of nights play incredibly frustrating.

I was actually thinking about ridiculous it was last night as I hit Restart Race for the 30th time. 5 years ago getting all the Gold (Elite) would have led to an in game reward of some kind. Now, developers seem to think it's ok to give me 20g or "You earned a trphy" messages. :x

Chenghou Project/Phantom/Elite will be the death of me. Funny thing is that tonight even the autopilot failed to get around the track properly - I used it on the off-camber turn leading into the tunnel, and it bounced me up and down so much that I smacked into the wall above the tunnel entrance.

I resisted putting another post in this thread because I felt people were getting fed up of me bitching about my Elite difficulty experiences but basically, yes, me too.

Tried for an hour to do Chengou Project Phantom Elite this morning and got absolutely nowhere. Best I managed was 3rd place and that was incredibly hard fought. Too many times I had to restart when I got hit by the slightest attack.

I also noticed the autopilot ****s up that section of track at high speeds and it makes it all the more infuriating that the AI racers can easily swoop through it. Also they seem to be able to take that initial hairpin left corner without any loss of speed at all. It's just completely unfair and I've stopped enjoying the game totally because of this but as I say, I've become stubborn about getting this trophy now.

You guys aren't alone. The WOzone guys, who have some of the best players among them, have been having trouble with the Elite AI too. So the general concensus is - it's not you, it's the AI.

Sorry for poor quality pic but...



GET, THE ****, IN!!!!!!

Yes that is Chengou Project. Yes it was Meltdown. yes it was Elite difficulty.
