Joe Danger |OT| If You Ain't 3nd, You're Last
- Thread starter V_Ben
- Start date
The leaderboards in the levels where editing is required to complete are pretty much broken. The leaders are the ones who moved the start like the furthest back and were bored enough to do most backflips for 10 minutes straight to build up a massive multiplier.
Edit: Oh God, that second last level is brutal.
Edit 2: 100% completion now Whoo!

Bought this yesterday. Not bad. Pretty good mix of game styles, as others have said, but I wish there was a greater sense of speed.
I guess I am still searching for a game that is halfway between this and Trials. I want some Motocross Maniacs action.

Same here, trying to get 100%. The second last level (coin dash) is really hard though. Like 200+ attempts
But the gameplay is so good and addictive. Just one more try. grrrrYeah those last few levels are tough.
I'm dissappointed the Level editor is so gimped. You can't create a level anywhere remotely close to the size and scope of the levels in the game.
You are way WAY to limited in the number of items available to put in your track, the number of each item you can use(only one of each loop really?), and the overall number of items limit.
Hell some of the existing levels in the game have more stars in them alone then the max number of total pieces you can use.

R2 = Accelarate
L2 = Reverse
L1/R1 = Tricks
X = Boost
Hold square = Duck
Release square = Jump
Left analogue = wheelie/spin
That's is. Trials is just accelerate/reverse and left analogue if I recall.

Apparently the game sold 50k week one on PSN according to Gameindustry.biz. Article is registration only though.

Congrats. I gave up for the time being. I'll come back to it someday, I'm sure. But damn, is it a bitch.see5harp said:
The worst part is that you need to get the stars in that level to get three of the trophies in the game (collecting all the stars, collecting all the combo stars, and collecting all the time stars). They should have just left those to the main levels and used these Director's Cut levels as true "bonus" stages that you don't need for the trophies. Then have a separate trophy for getting all the stars in the Director's Cut stages.

I recently picked up this because a friend wanted us to play it together, which was fun for a while. But now that I tried it again by myself I can safely say that it´s the worst purchase I made this year.
The game is good at what i tries to do, but I expected something else. I knew that it was more like platform game than a real racing game, and that it was about replaying levels to achieve all goals. Fine, that I knew. But I did not know that it was so focused on collecting all kinds of stuff. Stars, coins, hidden coins, letters. Some people may like it, and for them this game must be heaven. But I really hate it, since I can´t find any meaning in it. It breaks all flow in the gameplay, and makes you replay the levels over and over again for challenges that is not really about any kind of skill. I can see no reasons for anyone to do that if they have other games to play in their collection. Which I have.
Collecting things was one of those gameplay excuses I really hoped would have dissapeared by now. Instead it has completely ruined two PSN games for me - this and Gravity Crash. Maybe playing user levels could save this mess, but the "campaign" is something I will try to avoid from now on.

Well, I understand that the game isn't your cup of tea, but I'd have to disagree with your last comment. Most of these challenges really are about skill, but just happen to have "collecting" involved with them.
For example, the coin dashes are really about trying to navigate through a particular segment of the track within the allotted amount of time. The coins are there to ensure you adhere to the correct path...you've got to stay on track to collect them all, and you need to do it quickly. That's certainly a test of skill in my book!
Similarly, with the D-A-N-G-E-R letters, these frequently involve some kind of risky jump on or near a dangerous obstacle. You're collecting the letters, but again the test of skill comes in making sure you can successfully make the jump without crashing.
One of the great things about the game is that the levels have multiple goals which often require very different approaches, so you'll have to replay them in order to figure out everything. If you're having trouble, then it's best to pick a specific goal, and gear your mind towards accomplishing just that goal during your session. You might be able to knock off another goal or two in the process, but don't worry if you can't get everything all at once. In fact, later levels are designed so that you cannot possibly accomplish all of the goals in a single run, usually because goals like the coin dashes and D-A-N-G-E-R letters may be placed on separate paths. Don't worry about it--just chip away at one or two goals at a time, and you can return to the tough stuff later.

The only two things that they've mentioned being in the patch is custom soundtracks and replay saving and sharing. You should probably email Hello Games (or send them a message on Twitter) and ask them about the feature you're referring to. They're trying to implement things that fans want and that seems like something that would be easy for them to fix.

Man I'm only 12% into the game... and I can tell that this is going to be TOUGH to get all the stars in the game! I just finished one time trial level that was really challenging, I made it by .2 seconds! :lol
Any tips on racing "fast" through a level? I feel like I get too much hang time from springs.

Just posted about this in the psn store thread but I really hope they patch a better level sharing system into this game.
The one now is useless.
This game has so much potential. I hope they (Hello Games) support it for a while.

Just bought this game. Felt I would be doing a disservice to it if i didn't post here. Really have nothing new to add though. The game is incredibly fun and easily the best game I've purchased on PSN. Really hope HelloGames continues to support it. I will be recommending it to everyone i know.

I played the generous demo on PS3 last night and while I can see it is a good game I was bored with it by the end of the demo. The game really reminds me of GripShift which I really loved back in the day. Unfortunately I played GS to the point of being sick of it so by the end of the Joe Danger demo it was starting to feel too similar to what I got tired of, i.e. replaying the same levels over and over by necessity in order to complete all goals and proceed.

Must be your settings. No current PSN game would run 4:3 by default.

Hmmm... I missed this one. I'm Downloading the demo right now.
Looks like it'll be fun.

I play on a 16:9 SDTV and the image (except the HUD) stays flattened until I switch my tv to 4:3 :/

Am I the only one playing this "wrong"? I mean by trying and trying and trying to get all the challenges done before moving into the next level?
