Elite in 32 hours!

Matt@Sim_Moves · 03-08-2008, 04:01 PM

Hey guys,

Just reporting in that I've managed to bag my Elite license in under 33 hours.
Although I'm a little disappointed that it didn't excell BarryW's time (Criterion Games - Article - Fastest. Playthrough. Ever.) I'm extremely proud of it.

So... anyone want to do some challenges?

Well done! You totally deserve to be visually assaulted by an excessive amount of relevant smilies!

Congrats, Matt!
Is this because your game save was corrupt and you had to start over? Determination and willpower go far, I see!

Matt@Sim_Moves · 03-08-2008, 06:29 PM

Cheers guys!

Learning from your mistakes- good to see!
You're probably paranoid about it now... you could've completed the game in under 30 hours had you not been backing up the save file every five seconds...!

I remember you made a thread about it, but I never understood what the title meant- until I realised you misspelt 'save'...!

"Game same corrupt" or something like that!

Yeah.
It was supposed to be 'save,' wasn't it? I spent at least five minutes trying to make sense of what it actually said, before I realised that there was a 'typo.' You might want to get a moderator to change the thread title for you, Matt...

Wow Matt! You definately live up to your PSN comment of "The Burnout King"!

Hopefully, I'll see ya online.

Matt@Sim_Moves · 06-08-2008, 09:16 AM

Thanks!

Did I see you on Call of Duty 4 yesterday? (bit off-topic)

Nutter · 08-08-2008, 10:22 AM

^At me?^

I haven't been on Cod in a while. Dad did bring home a new Modem for tiral, so I'll see if I can sort out my porting problem with that. (Stupid other one is Dumb!

)

CONGRATULATIONS
it's slightly easier than you think i only got the game today and already and 3 events away from class c. Not great but there really is no rush

Marcolon · 14-08-2008, 02:27 PM

Nice one Matt

It also helps if you already know the routes in Paradise. Means your not getting lost and having to repeat events all the time.
