What’s the deal, SWBeta? Are you get bombarded by weapons? Is the AI just too fast?
Yeah, Joe is awesome! Gotta get that Six Machine going soon.
Lol, the AI racers shoot @ the modbots too. You’d have to be in @ least 3rd place to shoot 2 a lap. For the 1st lap, I ended up shooting 1. For the next 2 laps, I was in first the whole time, & managed to shoot 2 a lap, for a total of 5 shots.
You can hit 1 of the ModBots with a level 2 Sonic Boom (that blue thing) and if ONE of the actual 3 things (not the shockwaves) that pop out hits one, it will count as hitting 5 ModBots. Do you guys ever play together online? I’m be interested in hopping in a lobby with everyone.
Ahhh shit million.
Look up the DLC. Cap’n Cruch all day with the new cape.
Okay, I actually killed all of the challenges except the devastator ones. That shit is just pure luck, which is dumb. The sideswipe challenge on Fracture was like top 5 easiest challenges in this game, hands down. You just gotta have the right strategy. I got it on my 3rd try. And the first 2 failures were because of the fucking AI firing 3 level 3 weapons one after another on the cliffside, which is where I needed to sideswipe the little fuckers.
Basically, get a level 3 weapon on the 1st lap BEFORE getting to the cliffside. Also make sure that you have like 60 to 75% of your boost gauge filled before then. At the spinny twister things, slow down and let 5 or 6 cars pass you. As soon as you get on the rickety bridge, fire your level 3. Most of the opponents won’t have enough boost to shield, so they’ll get it. You now have more than enough time to catch up to any of them as they recover and sideswipe them before they pick up speed again. You have all that boost saved up in case you need to boost to catch up and get side by side with one of them. My first lap, I did this and sideswiped two karts with the SAME sideswipe. Ran the rest of the lap and repeated. I had to stop for like 10 secs on the 2nd lap so that they could catch up. Repeated it, got the last sumnabitch then breezed through the rest of lap 2 and all of lap 3. So easy.
Now I only have the two devastator challenges to do then I’ll be done. From there, I’ll get all the tokens and unlock everything, then hit up the DLC store and cop everything. Then it’ll be Creation Bliss?.
Any tips for he Devastator mission besides telling me that it’s all 100% luck and probability?
So I killed everything in Career Mode. I’m done. Now I’m waiting for fucking PSN to hurry up and finish maintenance so that I can buy some DLC.
My major gripe with Modnation: I cannot edit MY OWN creations if I publish them, set remixing to NO, then unpublish them. So since PSN will not let me connect. I have a full library of karts and mods–MY OWN CREATIONS–that I cannot edit with all the new shit I unlocked from conquering Career Mode.
Really, UFG? Really?
Here’s my creations if anyone’s interested.
They’re the pilots from Wipeout Fusion (PS2) made for Modnation Racers. So if you like Wipeout, and this game, download some of them!
I’m not perfect at it by any means, but I’ve found that the best strategy with the Devestators is to NOT go for 1st right away; on the first lap, at least, try to limit your speed so that you remain among the pack of racers that’s usually in 3rd-4th-5th, etc. Only boost for a split-second just before you hit the switch, so that you make sure you hit the switch first and you’ll now be just very slightly ahead of them. If you stay among the pack of racers up to the Devestator, it seems the odds are much higher than one of them will be hit when it drops since they’re all clumped together. When you try to hit the switch while you’ve pulled away, it becomes total luck as to whether somebody’s beneath it or not when it activates.
We need to designate a time for all of us to get on and race our asses off. What are you guys up to either… Sunday evening or Monday?
Yeah, we should all finish adding each other up and get together for a SRK modnation marathon. Saturday nights are good for me. I have to be up at 5:30 am every weekday morning, so Sunday night is a no-go for me.
This weekend should be our first get-together. Everyone post up times you’re available.
Edit: It seems that even though I beat everything in Career Mode, I’m still missing some items. Does anyone know what the kart seat to the left of the Crates seat is? That shit is still locked on my game.
Also: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/109/1096035p1.html Maybe one day we can get our shit posted up here.
Edit 2: Nevermind. The seat is a glitch/developer error. They forgot to assign the item an unlock requirement. So it stays locked until there is a patch. So no one has unlocked this item.
I’ll be on a mini-vaca on Sat/Sun, but I’m down next week.
I reworked my Jet Moto characters and I’m reworking their karts. When I’m done, I’m gonna start making some Jet Moto stages then I’ll publish all of them for peeps to download.
I’m having a hard time making Freshalicious Rex and the Freshmobile look as fresh as possible. Need inspiration.
hehe, gotta love good ol’ gamefaqs folks. At first, I was surprised to see that a lot of them were complaining honestly about how the difficulty of this game is outrageous compared to what the expectation is. Fast forward to now, and folks are pretending like "eh, it’s not even that hard…you other people just suck. Get better." I should’ve known things over there would turn around to that gfaq-status quo eventually. I bet the average person over there also claims they beat Battletoads perfectly on the first try back in the day, and got a “No-Damage Clear!” with goddamn Pichu on Super Smash Bros. Melee (*actual claim by a particular person…I remember it like it was yesterday. You never forget that caliber of bullshit, man. It’s about as bad as my old friend who claimed he flipped an Abobo in the original Double Dragon, and that his copy of MK2 started doing MK3-only things one day. I love it when people flat out lie about what goes on in a game. It’s amusing to me.) It’s like everyone over there has the “short-man” or Napoleon Complex. There’s something so profoundly pathetic about that, y’know? I happen to be a short man, but I don’t have that bullshit “issue” going on (heh, I have other “issues” already). I’m not jumping at every conceivable opportunity to belittle everyone else.
The game still needed a difficulty selection…like ohhhhh nearly EVERY other game out today. I don’t see how anyone from either side of the argument could complain about that. As in other games, you have Easy/Normal/Hard/INSANE modes and there ya go…a solution that is reasonable for everyone.
All of the tracks is the OP here are EXCELLENT
Those tracks look sexy as fuck.
Quick character ideas just hit me:
The Gremlin from that Bugs Bunny cartoon: http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=gremlin%20from%20bugs%20bunny&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi
“Whammy” from that gameshow: [media=youtube]fnTbO26u9bQ[/media]
Those should be easy, considering how simple the designs are. I’ll most likely be online with the game later today.
Haven’t played MNR in a few days. Been playing Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker…
I made Q earlier this morning: http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/3861/mnrq.jpg

Looks like Q is the one who stole Dudley’s ride: http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/1650/modnationracers1.jpg
Lol, I remember him! He always seemed drunk to me. 
Off Topic, but J-Nav reminded me… I’ve got to get Peace Walker. I fail as a MGS fan for not getting it Day 1.
On Topic, can’t wait to start making tracks. The MGO Championship Track Pack has the best tracks I’ve ever seen/driven on in this game. Most are more fun than the default tracks in the game. Super props to the creator. I gotta fave him on the game, so I know when he comes out with new tracks. Genious designs.
Another good and creative track I’ve stumbled upon: Tankcrazy.

You drive in, around, through and out of a GIGANTIC TANK. Including getting shot out of the barrel. Track is incredible.
HOLY SHIT!!
Tracks like those should be on the Top 3 tracks. Not fucking Tiku Tok Mountain and Drifting Superstar. Too many sick ideas are not being recognized as they should.
