Luck as part of gameplay

[Steve Crook]

I'm sure you've all had a dose of luck whilst playing, either good luck where you've just avoided hitting something or wiping out - or bad luck where you just avoided missing something

 

I was just getting close to finishing the game again and thought I'd do it tonight (I've done it before). But 3 times in a row, I was defeated on mission End of the Line.

 

Taking out Smoke's lab/factory is no problem. Especially when you're fir-proof you have plenty of time.

 

Following the fire truck is no problem, especially if you don't try to follow it along the track north of the road in Las Colinas, just stick to the road, shadowing the fire-truck.

 

The bit where they got me was when the fire-truck is heading north along the Playa del Seville. You know how it takes to the left lane then swings back right just before the barrier between the lanes - well each time there was a car there and when the fire-truck hit it, it landed in such a way that it blocked me and slowed me down so much that I couldn't quite catch Sweet.

 

Ah well, nothing much you can do about bad luck. Sometimes you just have to "know when to fold 'em and when to walk away". I'll try it again tomorrow and should get my next 100% then

There are a few missions I have passed at the first attempt by pure luck.

But nonetheless, skill will help you more than just luck.
