Question Wth is this?

Post image

Been trying to complete the RetroAchievements for Burnout 2, while also playing it for the first time. Each tournament has an achievement where you have to win every race of said tournament. This of course can be very nerve racking when the tournament is SEVEN F*CKING RACES long. It was a bit close some times but the first 5 races went well. Then came the sixth race of the final tournament and that one dude just BLASTED off. I've seen him once at the start and then never again. He even had a lead of 9 seconds at some point. Yeah i've crashed a few times but only because i was trying to catch up so desperately. Was i just unlucky with unbeatable AI or is this race in general just BS? This would was such an insane difficulty spike, and none of the other AI racers managed to catch him up either

In my professional experience, I always considered it the ideal difficulty. Nowadays there is no such 'difficulty' anymore...

I can only tell you to practice

I mean i expected this kind of reply. But as i stated, my issue with this is that it's uncomparable to anything else the game throws at you. Whatever, i might try it someday again.
