Extreme Mode

[Vironyr]

So I started on extreme and I was like, whatever could it *ever* be?
First few lines, picked Marina up.

Driving to the Convenience Store.

We've changed the Extreme Mode achievement to now unlock much faster. It still takes a couple hours, but fewer than ten. Sorry we kind of missed the mark on that joke.

I don't know what they changed. When starting a new game, again 30min - 30min - 3 hours. In the old save as it was 6 hours (from 8 hours) and is. I do not know even to look for a miracle in the new save or return to the old save

I don't know, but updated and still play the waiting game. If they wanted to make desert bus stuff at least do it properly with some gameplay.

From reading the threads it sounds like the waiting times haven't changed for the scenes (for the first three at least), but presumably the idling achievement will be gained in <10 hours according to Josh's post. I've still got an hour and 10mins of 'driving until the sun sets'.

I’ll have to check this new update thing out, last I played Extreme mode I had 8 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hours of “Sleeping” short after the driving until the sun sets.

[Brian_64]

I still have 3 hours 30mins of sleeping...

The game just flagged yet another update, though this one was a 0b update - whatever that changed..

Okay, I got the achivement not playing to the end but idling enough.

In the old save or in the new?

Wait... Is extreme difficulty mode just the game... But in real-time?

Yup. It's a reference to Penn and Teller's Desert Bus, which had you do the same thing, while also making sure you drive straight, lest you got towed away in real time, too. xP

I'm glad you noted this, I was surprised how few people caught the reference via the achievement's name.

I'd much rather leave my PC open with HB windowed for a week to get an achievement than ACTIVELY play Desert Bus. Though, Desert Bus is often showcased at speedrunning charity events as a lark of sorts. :)

Sleeping...

[Vironyr]

I can testify too, I got the achievement after the "Sleeping" 8 hours part. Seems to be enough after all, now.

[Brian_64]

Meant to post earlier today, but I also received the desert RV cheevo this morning after the 8 hours sleep.

[吃小炒]

Can I get the desert RV cheevo achievement offline?
