Pocket Circuit

[SpirosKarv]

I'm convinced you either have to be sucking this game's ♥♥♥♥ or be mentally unstable to enjoy this minigame. Did all the races till I got the achievement and I only used a guide for the last one. Don't do this to yourselves. Use a guide immediately

This one is a lot more cruel than Y0, it kinda loses its luster after its been in a few games now

It seems that it's way more rng heavy. My car was flying out of the course on the last lap while it had already completed 7 without a hitch

each to there own, i loved pocket racer and it was great in zero as well. practice mode is ur friend.

I'm using a guide, and I absolutely hate it. Even lowering the FPS to 30, and using the right parts, it seems like it's still all RNG. I seem to fly off the track every race, at least 3 times. I never have enough of my meter left to actually stop the car from falling off the track. To quote my boy Donnie J, "It's rigged."

It was a little drawn out but it wasn't that bad. Sure there's RNG and I've been screwed over on the last corner of the last lap on some races! But the guides are mostly solid and the rest is just gauge management. Maybe only two or three races gave me issues.

I had many of the necessary starting parts from lockers and exploration and had like 1 million points by the end of it.

Think this is bad then surely you've not played Motorcycle Club in Lost Judgement. That almost ended me with boredom and I had the DLC bike.

u can beat all races without using boost at all, and most guides from what i've seen are at least one or two parts wrong. if you dont like running trial and error practice modes to get things right i can totally get how you won enjoy this mode.

I never practised even once and like 90% of the races went just as the powerpyx guide said they would go. I also prioritised using the ones in their comments at the bottom. The only ones that gave me more issues (like 2/3+ attempts) was CourStar track/Tomoya, Gou-Ou, and Masaru. The rest were almost entirely first time and following their instruction. I compared them to rpgsite too if I wasn't sure about something.

I'm sure the guides will get better and more accurate over time but I really don't think it's necessary to sit in practice mode for ages unless you just want to figure it out yourself.

as I mentioned in the guide section here, someone pointed out they were flying off the track left and right at 120fps and dropped it down to 30 and did it without issues, the same was happening to me in random places, so I dropped mine from 60 to 30 and then had very little problems on the turns. There might be physics tied to fps, so if you're having trouble with guides, try it.

i done it all at 120 but i did find some of the last tracks id just randomly fly off the track, but a retry would have no issue

The motorcycle club was super easy for me lmao. Kinda boring more than anything

[Volo]

Yeah, it's probably my least favorite mini game in the series tbh

[fejota]

Another boring "club" is the one that you have to talk to the workers in the girls bar.

The cost limit is there to make it harder. Let's be honest. Real pocket circuit has no cost limit....

[McLort]

Physics are very wacky sometimes even following build guide. I even capped FPS to 30 in case that was it. Enjoyed it, but yea, its temperamental.

Since I am playing at a very high FPS. Could explain my issues.... And no way am I capping my $8600 PC to 30 FPS. Ever.
