Talk:Furai Rising (v6.5)/@comment-35477889-20180906075438

Going to have to agree with a lot of the comments on here.... Unless you really really really etc. like this car, don’t waste your time in this event. It is okay until around 7.2 and 7.4, when it becomes borderline impossible. However, the real magic starts on 8.2 and 8.3. (Which I am convinced are beatable at 1332323 PR 77.3 just like ME7 did it because I was getting the average speeds/times/etc. but every time I got sabotaged by the bots.) What I mean is that, no matter what line I took, (inside, outside, middle) they made sure they swerved to hit me at the worst time at every opportunity. This was the first time I had to upgrade because of bots and not requirements, so that I could outrun them enough. What is strange is I had been bot slowing for the entire event.

My point is this: I ended up having to upgrade to 3332343 PR 80.8 to finally be able to dodge the bots. But more than that, I got zero enjoyment out of this. The whole point is to enjoy the race, and I was not in any case. I think some difficulty is necessary, but this event becomes pointlessly difficult for the sake of being pointlessly difficult. Looking back, I had a lot of built up fury over the 787B event when I got messed around by it the first time, but that event turned out less frustrating the second time, and moreover, Furai Rising made that one even look like a cake walk. I don’t know if this was the hardest event in this game, or whether Front-Runner was, or else maybe Fearless, or still another I am forgetting. If you can play this event and enjoy it after all of these warnings, then go ahead and play it. Otherwise steer clear of it, for your own enjoyment/sanity.
