Jamba Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 @Jonnas and @darkjak , I agree with both of you actually. I think the entry level difficulty needs to be dropped down with a decent curve. I really like games where the end game sections are a genuine challenge as I think you should get rewarded for being genuinely good at the game. Having it hard from the get-go is a MASSIVE mistake though. This game needs to be accessible enough for mainstream people to fall in love with the franchise and persist from there. Nintendo need to build the value of the IP and they're not going to be able to do that by shutting out the newbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A non-gamer was staying at my house when I first got the game, she didn't have much trouble entering the game. The tournaments are easy on lower difficulties, and the first story missions stand as a decent challenge at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May perhaps be the reason it didn't sell too well. Also, unlocking everything is rather tedious. You only earned money by completing the same four tournaments over and over again. After the likes of Need for Spped, Forza and so on, you expect way more variety. Just getting new tournaments where the tracks are swapped around could partially fix this.

Wii Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 F Zero GX is bitch hard but I still love it. Makes you want to rip your hair out. It definitely could do with lowering the challenge of the story mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phube Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I could never get past the stupid casino one (with all the right angle turns). Only about level 3ish... Really peed me off. And yet I almost completed the race modes. I think they were unfairly hard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DemonHunter Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I think I posted something like this before, which pretty much ended up with the title 'F-Zero Effect', which was a cross between a Mass Effect style RPG mixed with F-Zero's racing elements as the main story mode. I would love to see something like that. did anyone ever play Road Rash on the Saturn/PS1/3DO? You would go into a bar before races and chat to the other characters to built up relationships etc, you could also visit the bike shop next door in order to buy a new vehicle. This could be used in a F-Zero game as part of your ships customisation etc...meh food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamazoid Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I want to see a racing/beat em up hybrid. Could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I want to see a racing/beat em up hybrid. Could be interesting. Isn't that basically F-Zero X's Death Race mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamazoid Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 No i'm talking about having actual beat em up sections in between races. Could make the story mode more interesting. Plus it would be doing something new so Miyamoto would be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
