The Awful World of Skateboarding Games - Caddicarus

Oh god, I really hope I don't become a limited edition collectible vinyl figure. Well, great, what am I supposed to do now? Today's video is sponsored by me in plastic form. These aren't even my final four. Do you want to get yourself a limited edition, yes, you already have one, yes, well then all you need to do is go to the description right now, where I am currently running a competition with you two to give away three of these incredible figures that will be signed by Me, but the real life me, not the plastic me, all you have to do to enter is follow the link below and do any of these three things to get a new entry into the competition or you can do the three to get two additional tickets.

Oh boy, I love the entries if you don't win this contest, but don't freak out and burn your house down because on October 2nd at 12 p.m. m. pst or 8 p.m. British time, this adorable little monster will be available for the public to purchase. But I have to be quick because they are limited and if you're not careful I will buy them all, oh man, totally radical. Am I the only one who can still see the bricks outside like I'm not going crazy? You can also see them well and you know that if you jump at them while wearing a mask, they get really scared and run away, but why doesn't everyone do this right anyway?

We may not all be able to go. Going out and skating in the streets for fear of running into another load of bricks and having a die, but that's okay because we have Tony Hawk's pro skater one and two on the PS4, it's the best option and I was actually very excited. the release of this game I couldn't resist I had to get the collector's edition with the limited edition birdhouse deck and oh wow what a game it is, it's far from my favorite Tony Hawk game of all time in terms of gameplay and soundtrack. But it's great to see a new 60 frames per second HD version of two PS1 classics that give you so much more than just a remaster.

You can manually and ramp reverse in all

games

to maintain combos. You can mount on the wall, you can plant on the wall. you can do ridiculous special tricks, you can transfer spine and hip, this is essentially a modern Tony Hawk game with everything included, from the older ones, including in the mission-based gameplay and level design of the two skaters original professionals and honestly, while I'm not a fan of the frustratingly tiny two-minute time limit each time you just want to play, in my opinion this is the best Tony Hawk game in years and you want to know why, because you can become a thumb and if that's too small.

For you don't worry because you can also become the bfg after putting a few hours into this little gem, although it gave me an itch that I hadn't felt since the last time I went to the doctor, I wanted to go back. through my shells again and picking up the really old skate

games

that I loved as a kid, more specifically tony hawk's underground 2 remix on the psp and tony hawk's american skate land on the ds, these two games that I put so many hours into and they were not only the first Tony Hawk games I played, but the first

skateboarding

games I played in general, which further developed my rash.

I'm talking about my love for

skateboarding

as a sport. Look at this photo. This is the youngest photo of my teenager that exists on the Internet. And what is that at the end of my arms? Why yes, they are my hands. You heard me right. You're talking to a former skater. So after playing these two games, I collected as much money as I could. Can I pay you in scrutiny? and then I bought all the skating games I could so I could make another ridiculously long drinking video, but hey, I didn't want to start this marathon video in a negative way if I'm talking about one of my exes' favorite hobbies, so I thought we could start the video off nice and light with the impetus, the beginning, the first, the inspiration for every console skate game that would be released after this one, oh yeah, I'm going to go there, everyone's going back to the original, so I hope you're ready to sit down and play some skateboarding on the Atari 2600.

Yes, believe it or not, for home consoles, at least this is where it all started. Skateboarding and let's not ignore it anymore. This box deserves to be preserved. a glass display case in the national gallery the logo the hideous suit the toys are our sticker the combination of abrasive colors and that face that disease of a face the face of a man who is not only hungry for radical kicks but also for the thighs of your mother i I don't think I can wait any longer, so say it with me everyone, three, two, one, uh, so yeah, this is skateboarding.

Everyone, this scary silent vacuum cleaner, skateboards on the atari 2600. No sound, no music, no nothing, absolute entertainment. That's a bold statement. This was the peak of the entertainment was that I can't say I'm absolutely entertained watching a little pink rider wondering if he's holding a skateboard or a giant hot dog. Okay, I have to be fair, this game was made in 1987 for the Atari 2600. This was the first home console skateboarding game of all time, not counting arcade and computer games of course, so I have to judge it as a game of its time, even if it is walking silently through a ghost town.

As this clock counts down until my heart stops to put this monster out of its misery, there's not much skating, but what do you really do? I have no idea, but this is Atari and it has a joystick and a button. so we don't really have much of a choice so let's press the button and see what happens ah oh look look everyone we're out look at me go and listen to these sick beats yeah I'm getting into this now I feel like a kid another Maybe I'm a master of skateboarding nothing can stop me now oh the music stopped well that was going down but since we already look like a rider you know what they say about them if they fall off the horse what do they do to right themselves?

Anyway, I think I should take a look around me and get my bearings on what's around me. What is this here? What are you doing down there? Oh well, whatever it is, it came out the other end with a strong grip on that hot dog so you can I'll be looking at this and wondering what the hell I'm looking at and to be honest, I'm with you there, I have no idea what is happening. This was the age of games, just dropping you in the thick of it without even a cookie and expecting you to know exactly what it's trying to tell you, I mean I know we can skate, I know we can crash and I know you can't skate about this indescribable thing, but we can also cross the trees without problem. all so your guess is as good as mine when it comes to what's going on oh that's a ramp I thought there were stairs I guess this was before straight diagonal lines were invented well whatever Ok, we have a goal, now find the 30 ramps and jump.

Out of them while occasionally crouching like you're propelling yourself on your own gas, so yeah this is the whole game, find ramps, jump off them and don't worry about the trucks, they can't hurt you, you got ginger . hair, they don't stand a chance, but the best thing about this is definitely the music simply because the game is silent during all other moments apart from when you jump on your skateboard and that tune, oh my god, you can't help but love it , just listen to it. how joyful it is, this is right up there with super mario galaxy for the best soundtrack in gaming history.

Oh, and even better, not only do you have free control over when this bouncy little sea shanty starts, but every time you jump and then start skating again, you restart the tune from the beginning every time, okay, okay, I'll do it right , sorry Tony, Tony where are you, save me, okay I'll stop bothering you, here we go, this was the game I was talking about, the PS1 heavyweight. that actually started a million new trends in skating games and spawned a thousand poor imitators. Tony Hawk's skateboarding is okay, he's not as catchy as a pro skater, but did you know that prosecutor is a bad word in the UK?

Yes it's true, it's very bad to say when this game came out in the UK they changed the name and if you don't like it you can suck my prosecutor. Now this was the one you were waiting to talk to, wasn't that good? The original. Classic, the beginning of extreme sports games is so good that everyone would try to copy it for years. Slow, clunky, lumpy, not as good as your nostalgia would have you think yeah, sorry guys, there's no point in continuing. In my opinion let's go back to Pro Skater 1, unless you survive from disappointment, don't get me wrong, this game is a classic, make no mistake, it planted all the seeds it needed with creative level design that took everyday locations and became a skate theme. parks and popularized the addictive gameplay loop of performing tricks while exploring to earn VHS tapes and unlock more levels, but there's not much here, especially if you like the latest Tony Hawk games, you can't manually link tricks on flat surfaces.

No reversing after landing from the ramps, the level selection is quite small, as are the levels themselves, and takes around three attempts at most to finish. The controls feel a little heavy, especially when blowing air off the ramps that you can't mount on the wall or on the wall. Plan for more combo potential and level design and no matter how hard you try or how good you smell, it's very easy to not land correctly or go through obstacles. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is Crash Bandicoot 1. It's okay for what it is. It's amazing at the time compared to the competition, but no, nowadays it feels like a trip to the bathroom after a Mexican night, but then there was Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2.

This is where, in my opinion, the legend was really born. Pro Skater 2 put the development team. neversoft on the map because at this point they abandoned realism and stopped making you feel like you're skating in a recycling bin. It does not work. This was the beginning of creating your own skater and you could call him Chris, who lives in the. sink at his five years old he looks like this too but don't laugh at him he's shy this is where you can start using the stat points you earned in the campaign to max out all your skills and your balance sensitivity this is where you could edit and customize your tricks you could create and edit your own damn damn parks and how about the levels, there was more, they had a lot more things to do and many more secrets to see with environmental pieces to completely destroy with your Sickness, they came with prizes cash you could spend in the store for more customization options, you could get hit by trains, but most importantly there were more cheats which not only meant crazier scores, but many more ways to link them with the ability to activate them manually . the street and the wall travel across vertical surfaces and then there were the tricks, oh lord of tricks, you can believe you can fly, you can become a big boy, you can escape the game, you can go on the Atkins diet, but it is easily the coolest part you can.

Be Spider-Man here Spider-Man waits what the judges only gave me 99.9 What do you mean 99.9? Did you see what I just did? That's not enough to get a full score. At least give me a chicken nugget. Do not misunderstand. I'm still not a fan of the two-minute time limit for career mode. You could argue that it's an arcade challenge, but I maintain that it's restrictive, stressful, and doesn't allow you to fully take in or explore the brilliant level design, and if that's the case, if you agree with me on that, then you shouldn't worry because the Tony Hawk series finally got rid of it.

They kept doing it, they kept improving. No one could stop them, not even my mother, and she could stop a freight train. frowning there was tony hawk's k3 pro which introduced ram reversals to further maintain your combos after you have important air, there are hidden twists and grabs that you can pull up by double tapping the buttons and you can be a star wars , there was Tony. Hall's Pro Skater 4, which removes the time limit for Career mode and turns each level into a free-roaming affair along with the new ability to spin and hit the transfer on ramps, slide on the backs of cars to gain speed .

Double tap the buttons while grinding again and manually to change the move you are doing during the current grind or manual to add more to your combined score and you can be Star Wars, there were Tony Hawk's underwear, there was Tony Hawk's subway, which gives you an entertaining story mode. where you start at the bottom in a tacky neighborhood and make your way to the top while working with skateboarding pros who are stars, oh my need, you can disassemble your board to move a little easier through the tighter level design, you can level up from naturally while skating You can circle and completeunintentionally hidden challenges related to the types of tricks you do.

You can bounce off the walls with a wall plant. You can spam the buttons like crazy to do more than triple spins on your tricks. You can spam the buttons to recover. bathe faster and you can also do this, that's what you can do, right? There was also Tony Hawks underground and it's the best game ever made, but you can also spin naturally on little pillars or it's a twist of nature or a twist of cream. I don't know, you could spray the walls like a bad boy, but I mean spray with gravity and not with us.

Tony Hawk looks like an eggplant and if you abandon a trick you can hit buttons really fast and then break your board. half of it, which does absolutely nothing but waste your time, there was Tony Hawk's America Jesus, there was Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, which is basically the same as all the other games, but it feels much smoother and faster and gives you levels a lot larger ones that are interconnected with their own day and night cycle without any loading screens, there is a story mode that allows you to build your own part from scratch and, in my favorite feature, you can even ride a stunt BMX whenever you want.

How cool is it that I also had a huge crush on this girl when she was a teenager. but she's not real so she didn't work, it was Tony Hawk's project 8 and I'm not really sure what they were eating when they did all this. This is completely unnecessary. Also, Tony Hawk looks sick. Alright? oh hi rodney mullen ryder you don't look very good either and then there was tony hawk testing ground which makes the balance take up the whole screen and it's really ugly it works like crap on tony hawk testing ground and that concludes. all my thoughts on the main Tony Hawk games, specifically on the Neversoft era, which most people consider the only true era, and if you want to know which is my favorite, I'd have to go with American Wasteland, but followed closely in the second place by a professional skater. 4 and underground so after proving ground came out I guess neversoft couldn't prove to anyone that they should keep making tony hawk games and immediately after they left they were taken over by a new team known as robo mode e They were going to take the falcon to new heights and then that same falcon dive bombed into the sea and drowned because the end of his era came to a halt with tony hawk's pro skater 5. released in 2015 for ps4 and xbox one came out pro skater 5 with fanfare that everyone hated this game when it was released, including me for a game that labeled itself as the fifth mainline entry after pro skater fantastic 4 and the 17th tony hawk game overall, honestly this is It felt like a joke and there are many videos. on the topic, showing exactly why that is and the thing is, without playing it yourself, when you just see the game in motion, sure it's not groundbreaking or anything, but it doesn't seem like the worst game of the year stuff and That's why I ended up buying it.

It's because it looks completely fine, in fact, when you play it, it even works. Dare I say, I thought everyone was overreacting and jumping on the hate train five years ago, but after just a few minutes you'd quickly understand where everyone was coming from. Say it quickly, but you still have to wait for the 8 gigabyte patch to download. Oh, what is that? You don't care about online or network features and just want to start the game as is without the patch. Okay, that's great. Then how? Do you feel like you've missed a big part of the game that was supposed to be included at the beginning but then had to be added with this patch?

This is horrible enough right off the bat, but to put this into perspective, the file size of Pro Skater 5. itself is around 4 gigabytes, which means the eight gigabyte patch to fix the issues the game had it was 200 bigger than the game itself, which is the same as going to the hospital because your wang is too big and then fixing the problem by getting another one. triple the size of the last one, well I'm not complaining, it's not a problem, so it's okay, maybe the 12 gigabytes total of the game here is just because Pro Skater 5 is packed with content and is probably graphically insane in comparison to any other game.

Not really the series, there's absolutely nothing to this game and it looks as pretty as a carnivorous plant, you'd never believe it, but Pro Skater 5 takes almost every element that was tweaked and improved over the previous 16 years of Tony games. hawk and just completely. get rid of him creator skater god a lot of varied levels in level specific missions become pedestrians become big exploratory levels with many secrets become a lot of impossible real life tricks to customize god you know when you are describing people who They're miserable all the time and you call them a fun sponge, well that's what this game is, it's a fun sponge, that doesn't really make any sense because if you're a fun sponge, I mean, you're sucking up all the fun, so which means you're full of fun, so I guess that means you're a fun raincoat, no fun here, oh and physics, the total 12 gigabytes of physics, not just gone, gone forever and not even they pay me. child maintenance in fact, five years ago I made a whole video about the broken ineptitude this game leaks with me, which would be a little more forgivable if the patch actually fixed the physics and this wasn't a ps4 game that barely looked past of the professional. skater games on ps2 and xbox even the mission markers don't work because the only way to activate them is by standing still after finding them, which in itself is pointless because you can just go to the pause menu and select anyway, There is also a mechanic they added.

I don't know what it's called, but I'll call it a sinker because that's all it does, it just messes up the entire combo score and ruins any run you make. In the middle of, for some baffling reason, robomoto decided to add this feature where when you press a button, you hit the ground with tremendous force, which isn't the worst idea on paper, but when they made the button that activates it was exactly the same. While grinding, you'll quickly understand how irritating this is, you'll want to grind, but instead you'll just drop onto the concrete at a million miles an hour or crash straight into the rails you're trying to grind on, which means things. since this happens all the time apart from all that, although as a game itself and as the main Tony Hawk game on PS4, it is one of the most boring and simple games I have ever played, every mission is copy and pasted in every level, no makes sense. of humor without character without atmosphere without dialogue nothing take the balls out of this bowl and take the balls out of this bowl smash these things here for no reason and smash these things here for no reason run through these rings here and run through these rings here, I mean, I like these mission ideas individually, but just reusing them over and over again with no bells and whistles and soulless levels over and over again in a Tony Hawk game for ps4 is just sad to me, so?

What do you do if you're a skater and want to play a skateboarding game, but you've had enough of Tony Hawk. I don't know, you play another game and get another random guy, like on MTV Sports Skateboarding with Andy McDonald. Finally two of my favorite things together mtv and andy mcdonald had a farm what does a 540 sound like benny hannah turned into a smith with one foot high in cholesterol and if you don't know who old macdonald is don't worry because there are 14 other skaters professionals to choose? by colin mckay rick howard heidi fitzgerald and rob durden dark black well, that's a little redundant, isn't it?

I mean, you can't get a light black, what's my name? um imps, but as we'll soon see, you can even choose from a bunch of original characters for the story mode like Jason Case, Steve Seagull and David Wastebasket, and then you have my favorite Anna Graham, who left dinner on her face. I think I'll go with Wendy Jones because of the good balance stats. and come on hello ma'am i think you should go to the doctor you have a nasty growth on your chest okay so this game may take the same ideas as tony hawk but i would say it was just in the naming andy mcdonald it seems which keeps almost everything the same as a tony hawk game, but adds new methods of entering cheats to avoid copyright infringement, so instead of holding down a directional button and then pressing an action button to activate a grab or a First, hold the action button and then press a direction to perform the trick, which wouldn't be so bad, other than the fact that this control delay is shocking, I'm not even kidding, look at this, caddy, no I like it, it's basically a Tony Hawk rip-off.

It moves at the speed of an oil drill by the time the game registers a trick you've already hit the ground and died beautiful I have to say that although the boom is a bit unnecessary especially when most of the time I'm going straight . I went up a ramp and the game rescues me for no reason. Why are you booing me? I went straight up and Andy McDonald pushed me off the board. Are you booing me or is the game not a big surprise, but I ended up failing and Then I received this eternal advice: you should try to stay on the skateboard and just for that phrase I will leave the game forever.

Goodbye, Andy McDonald. Old Macdonald had a farm. What do you mean? He had a farm. Where did he go? Oh what? Wasn't he crazy enough for you? Then you should try Skateboard Madness on the PS2. Really, this is a game only for the most mentally disturbed skaters. I mean, look at the craziness that's happening here. Who is this man and why is he tickling her underneath? skateboard and if there are any astute viewers out there who have been around for many years, I'm sure there is a logo on the box here that you will recognize for those of you who don't know if you see this logo on any ps2 games.

You run for the hills, you know the angry video game nerd has his arch nemesis in Ljn when it comes to atrocious gaming companies. Well the Phoenix games are my personal ljn and they have released some junkies in the past, let me tell you from the son of the from the lion king to the dalmatians 3 to snow white to the seven clever guys, they also made a game that didn't bother any minority at all and it was called packing and then they did the skateboard craze so let's see what I'm getting. myself in my name is let me out and my character doesn't have a name that's a little sinister so I guess I'll have to make them up myself if I were jonathan jonathan jonathan jonathan jonathan or jonathan black I'm not even being insensitive when I say everyone has exactly the same face and body model and you know what i think i will choose jonathan let's start things off nice and easy with a simple ollie this bodes well i just played a game with a jetpack mode and even then that game has more physical than this.

What happens if you run into a railing? What happens if you jump over a railing? What happens if you jump and try to do a 180? What happens if you try to jump up a flight of stairs? What happens if you hit a wall directly, what happens if you go up a ramp? I mean, I guess this has its benefits sometimes, like when there's a big concrete bridge in your way, don't worry because Jonathan can walk right across it. Although it can't do anything else, I've desperately tried to find more tricks than a heel flip and a kickflip, but for the life of me I can't find any, although I guess that doesn't even matter because in a match landing kickflips with score counting timed ones don't even count towards giving you points oh well sometimes they do, and sometimes the game will say that you did three kickflips one after the other when you weren't even doing anything, at least you were.

I'm not lying about being angry, I will personally send myself to your house and kiss you if you can perform any tricks here and understand why they worked or how to do them again every time I tap the grab button, I keep my dash every time I hold holding down the grab button I just touch my board from time to time when I jump off a quarter pipe I don't stop spinning in the air even though I'm not touching any directional buttons and the number of times I do it Go up a ramp only to fall from my board for no reason is almost comical, then you remember you paid money for this and it's not funny anymore.

I even tested the physics engine by just jumping off a ramp without touching anything and coming. go back see you later this is not a joke look look come on jonathan, you hateful harpy how useless can you be don't make me take out another jonathan the only good thing I can point out about this game is the fact that you always rescue Jonathan, he doesn't make dolls rag or anything, he just turns dead and stops wondering how he got into this mess and, by the way, guess what year this game came out. Yes, I didn't make a typo.

In fact, I did. when it came outthis game 2007, the year of mass effect, the darkness, uncharted, bioshock and skateboard madness, the wrath of jonathan, also pro skater 2, almost achieved everything that we all love in good skateboarding games and that came out seven years earlier, what is this game? I mean the title is accurate, this is nothing but total insanity, but how were the Phoenix games allowed to get licensed? Sony didn't even look at what they put that sticker on every Phoenix game I've played so far, it's been the worst thing I've ever seen. seen and it's not like Sony was making a high profit margin on them, they were bargain bin crap to begin with look how did I get that extreme edition?

What does that mean? Is there a moderated edit? Is there a version of this game? That's worse than this, uh, tell me, Jonathan. I guess I only have myself to blame because what did I expect from the Phoenix games? They really are a phoenix because every time you throw them away, they manage to rise from the ashes at this point. You're probably so sick of skateboards that you'd rather play a game that ditches the wheels entirely, and if you feel that way, then aren't you out of luck? Because Airblade may be the game for you, a forgotten one. little ditty about the ps2 released in 2001 and made by the same people who made the burnout games, so as you can see they are very good at making games with wheels, that's why in airblade you are playing a game that doesn't have wheels.

The simplest way I can describe Airblade is to take the open-ended, time-limited mission objective style of the Tony Hawk series and swap a wooden board for a hoverboard. Yes, a hoverboard and it sounds as ridiculous as Tony Hawk on a hoverboard for the most part. feel like an airclaw completely what it sets out to do, in fact I dare say it's a hidden game look it even has a story mode with cut scenes this is our main character Ethan it sounds like this Oscar would have kidnapped the stick, no wonder the suits are so funny and because that's what I hate, he also dresses like a traffic light, so the plot here is that Ethan's house is being raided by the government because of a strange package that your roommate, grandpa, friend with benefit received, no one knows what it is or why it is so important, but that obviously means that we should immediately take it without thinking about it and run away to become a fugitive.

That was cool, as it turns out that this secret package was actually a hoverboard that Ethan magically knows how to use right away and then, holy crap! I'm able to do basically anything within 15 seconds of picking it up. Ethan is my kind of person. My first time on a hoverboard was nothing like this, as I said before. Air Blade is basically Tony Hawk in terms of its arcade mission-based structure and time limit, except here it's much more linear, you get story-based missions that must be completed one after another and completing each one increases the total time limit for Performing these missions usually means starting a sequence of tricks around the environment and pedestrians or sometimes exploring the open levels from top to bottom to find the right thing to grab or move forward to reach higher places, story mode.

It itself is ridiculously small and the cutscenes are admittedly horrible, but I'll be damned, this is one of the ones that works best. and the satisfying skating games I've played, it takes a while to master, but once you do, it feels as natural as breathing and you can do something crazy and flippy kingdom heart unheard of in other skating games here. on the screen is your boost meter, which I guess you could also say is your fuel, it doesn't stop you from moving if it runs out, don't worry, but this boost meter is necessary not only to speed up the level and give you more ramps. air, but it is also used by pressing and holding the jump button to give you a small dash and glide depending on how much momentum you have.

These two skills, especially for timed missions, are vital, so how do you get more boosts? Do more tricks, of course, and we'll string them together for a big combo in the air, spinning around poles and landing on rails is preferable. You can be given emergency boost fuel by simply pressing the spin trick button because I don't know if you noticed, but you float, which means you can do unlimited tricks without bailing, which is also used to attack enemies. Airblade is far from amazing, but it impresses me because this is the most original arcade skating game I've ever played, it controls fantastically, it looks great. for a ps2 game from 2001 it runs as smooth as butter and yes the music isn't amazing either, i mean one track sounds like someone left the kettle on but i would say this is definitely a diamond in the rough, but if God forbid, you are offended. for hoverboards or offended by small game titles, it's okay because you can always play city and country surf layouts, pearl city, hawaii, wood and water fury, this is the first nes game I've ever gone out of my way to talk about in deep. this channel and judging by the cover I don't think I could have picked a better one but I don't know even though city and country surf designs, pell city hawaii, wood and water rage are the most ridiculous name for a game I've known. seen this could be another airblade could be another hidden gem a secret masterpiece a nintendo classic i literally just mentioned to you is this an omen if i say something bad it will just appear fine if that's the case weapon oh well thank you very much just my luck huh , the first nes game I saw on this channel and it's a game made by one of the crappiest companies of all time, but surely it can't be worse than a Phoenix game, could we start it? appears on the title screen and it's confusing what is this supposed to be what is coming in is water why is it flying why are there trees swimming what is going on here and what is this noise supposed to be is it supposed to be ocean waves or someone shuffling in a chair, we have three separate games to choose from here, but this is a skateboarding video so let's look at that one for now, who do I choose?

So the coolest guy in the

world

or a potato, well this doesn't It doesn't seem that bad so far it looks good it sounds good the control is okay was this angry nerd a little too hard on ljn in all his videos we can move we can jump off the dash to get past this thing here we can't jump off the ramp no big deal we can keep going and we can even ollie over this group of barrels a few seconds after the start of the stage oh maybe I pressed the wrong button ok let's try b e we can even ollie over this group of barrels a few seconds on a and b together and we can even ollie over this group of barrels some well this game is a huge c word and what's the word well you know what they say , you can't say country without a tree, okay, now I understand, I totally hate this ljn. justified sorry nerd i should never have doubted you my law this is just this is just this is not very nice the strange thing is if you look online to see what the hell you're supposed to do you can see what this is it's a video, I mean, it's someone doing an ollie, they can jump over the barrels without smashing their face into the concrete, but how do you do that?

I mean, start pause, the game selection is for the menus, which then leaves us with only two. buttons to work with and b makes us push the board faster while a makes the idiot shoot into space without what I need to land again you know what I'm just going to press buttons and see what happens oh what was that? I did a grind, grind, grind, green, either way, I figured out, you have to hold back while pressing a to do an ollie that allows you to jump over ramps and of course those infamous barrels that I love so much, that's right.

I have the controls down, so the rest of the game should be very easy, so learn this. What you have here is an auto-scrolling obstacle course that would be fine to deal with, except you have a very tight time limit to reach the end. a scenario that means you have to rush and rush in the city and the countryside serve designs friend city hawaii wood and water fury is a recipe for failure look at this you can't see anything flying towards you off the screen you can't judge the Depth and Distance When you go fast on this 2D plane, you respawn on surfaces that slow down right next to the ramps, which means you can't then speed up enough to clear the holes in the floor.

This game was clearly created by a bunch of lumpy nut boxes and vibrations if you slow down too much to be careful you run out of time but if you go too fast it can't be played so what do you want me to do? city ​​and country surf designs pearl city hawaii wood and water rage oh what is that? you want me to try another game from the main menu, well then I'll see what this surfing game is about, then it's horrible, okay, then how about game number three, Wood and Water Rage? This is the name of the game itself, so maybe this is the best part.

Oh, look, it's exactly. the same game as skateboarding one, Wooden Water Rage sounds like something you catch when you're pregnant. Okay, I'm done with all these skateboarding games that aren't endorsed by Tony Hawk, so I guess I'll have to drag myself back. for him with my tail between my legs, if there's any pattern emerging here it's that if you want a consistently decent skateboarding game you need to go to Tony Hawk, so I guess it's time to rein it in with Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam and no, this isn't it is. a terrible recipe for a sandwich.

I'm too hungry to wait for this. It's a Tony Hawk game created as a Wii launch title. He says that though Tony looks very angry in the box here, almost like he's hungry for some of his own god's jam. It's been years since I started this. I can't wait to give it a try. Are you ready? No, oddly enough, this game was developed by Toys for Bob. Yes, Spyro revived Toys for Bob The Crash. 4 toys for Bob The. madagascar toys for bob i don't know how you can go from glory the chunky hippo to heavy metal skating but at least they still have the demented clown music and since this is a wii launch title do you know what that means?

Yes, forced motion controls. which means you tilt the remote to move left and right and as we all know this won't be a problem at all because Sonic did it perfectly. What is my verdict on Tony Hawk and the secret rings? Okay, it's unnecessary, but that's all. true, I say it's unnecessary because at the end of the day tilting a motion controller to drive is less responsive than just pressing a button, but if you have to do it this way, like your wife is tied up in a cannibal's kitchen and the only thing What could save it was skateboard with tilt motion control.

It could have been done much worse. First of all, this is primarily a racing game, thank goodness, so free movement isn't a problem since you're on rails and just need to focus on steering. so at least it's pretty focused and not like that, but trying to take this and move it to forced motion controls and only two extra action buttons is really clunky, speed up ollying and grabs are the same button, while tricks tumbling and grinds are the same button and Balance in a routine is done with tilt, which is exactly what you do to twist your body in the air and turn left and right in general, which means you will do a lot accidental turns and tricks when trying to go off a rail. that you're already balancing right there and you could just ignore the tricks and focus on the downhill race, but to get turbo, which is almost essential to winning a race, you should at least try to do some of these. tricks means I complained a lot, the game looks good for a wii launch title I guess, except for Tony himself, but then I saw her do some aerial tricks on my jaw, but yeah, I can't really say much more about this. because okay, it would have been funnier if it was a train wreck, to be honest, you can tell that girl works out, although don't tell her I said that, Tony, you're 52 years old.

And that's exactly how old I felt when I decided to play SpongeBob SquarePants, surf, and road skate in Connect. I'm so sorry, baby, you know I love you. Spongebob, surfing and road skating is a game you know what, no I'm not doing this. I'm not even going to give this game the privilege of an introduction. Here are all the images of me playing. It speaks for itself, so we are all on the same page and understand each other. This is the main menu. Hello to let you know I'm here, that works, welcome to the game, I haven't been identified, okay, okay, how about I just select a part?

I don't select a profile I don't select a profile no no no no pro selector I don't select a profile don't cancel select a professional no, what are you doing? Why do you follow my face to the side? byis there a big space there? What do you mean by going back what are you talking about? What goes back here? Where do you want me to go? Come closer, make up your mind, you might wonder why I invited you all here. No no. Can we skip this every time I go to story mode? No, he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to.

Hang in there, so I'm going to do a quick playback. Can this message go to turn left, step your foot to one side to turn left, step your foot to one side to turn left, step your foot to one side , turn right, step your foot to the side to turn right step foot towards step foot to the side that's the side I'm taking a step to the side we're this close to passing the screen of calibration everyone I hate to see what the game is like if I can't pass the The settings copy this stunt pose so we can handle the basics.

We can handle the basics—standing still and raising our arms for the start of the ymca—but we can't do anything else. So why is there an entire game built around everything else that isn't? standing still and ymca oh, okay, look at me, why are you turning left? I'm taking a step to the right, stupid, I don't understand how this game works, why is it a game? This doesn't work, it thinks I'm turning right when I'm taking a step to the left and when I step to the right it turns to the left look oh look there I am hello I'm enjoying how I'm getting all these points I'm not doing anything I'm just trying to drive I'm just trying to drive How is this SpongeBob?

Skye pants, turn right, Patrick, turn right, please turn right, you stupid lumpy pink thumb, I've got a push, I'm halfway there, I've got another one, how many more, I've got another 25 seconds of this. what to do I won't do it I won't do it I won't do a minute long race and yeah I know everyone is probably thinking this is a surfing game so what's the point of even mentioning it in this video ? but the thing is, you can't see it, I can confirm from the back of the box that there is indeed skate in this game, which is a shame because I'll never see it, wait, it's not the lighting conditions, okay, it's too dark. how can it be too dark it's daytime i have the sun can't you be much lighter than the sun spongebob square bob and then i started skate or die on the nes skate or die die i mean, i have to be honest In fact, i like this title screen, the logo is vibrant and lively, this guy has a fast and this music is happening, I can't wait to play more, let's jump right to mom, I don't want to play anymore, I'm a bad boy, what?

In the fucking Christmas pudding, this is this hard six. I'd appreciate it if you'd stop looking at me like that, man. I have a feeling that your hair has been inside places where I don't want to know if you met my dear boy Lester. Ugh, I bet he's your darling boy. So what are you looking at? What am I looking at? What are you looking at? I'm not the one with eggs for eyes. Do not do it. you like my clothes, well, to be honest, I don't remember the last time I saw a dark blue garden rake, so no, at this point, I think it would be stupid to go straight to a competition, so let's practice a little first, how about a freestyle match, which is more accurately a vert ramp match, but anything we go in and start with a 180 are all skateboarding games on NES deliberately unplayable, no matter what you do, any button you pressures, you will crash, the only way I racked up points.

This was just rolling back and forth because if I tried anything else, my bones would fall out of my body and no matter how long you lay there on the ground, motionless, the audience never comes to help you, did you skate or did you die, yeah? died, what about the high jump? So, okay, it's the same as freestyle, but all you need to do now is mash the buttons as fast as possible to gain speed, fly high, have an attack, and then get fingered. Wonderful jam, what is this? So here you are skating to the bottom of the screen, hitting other kids with your fists and disintegrating every time you touch a fence and this would be the best part of the game, but the biggest problem here is the control to attack, you have to hold held down. a direction while pressing a button, but using a directional button also turns you, which you don't want to do and you would think you just need to hold left or right to turn, but no, you have to tap the direction several times to adjust . where you point, like in real skating, the running itself is not much better, or you go downhill and turn, it's too heavy.

Am I on a skateboard or a library truck? This is just disturbing, it helps my head turn into a butt now we're in the end game jousting jousting like stabbing each other from what you're supposed to joust what the hell is wrong with you? Yes, three kids fighting to the death sounds good to me, but who do I choose to send to hell? Well, I'm pretty sure I saw Lester in a nightmare where he strangled my family, so I think I'll go with the most normal guy possible, Pete, is he a skater or a French revolutionary, welcome? and all to the jousting arena where our child fighters will fight for glory within a large bowl of rice.

Well, it's either that or a hairy old man's head, but whatever the case, this is probably the worst game ever where you painfully skate back and forth. knock the other kid off his board with a giant cotton swab and then force him to bend over, shove the hot dog in his mouth, and then shove the board up his butt. The problem here is that no matter what I do, I never can. I hit the other guy even when I'm next to him, but he always manages to steal my bat and knock me down on my thick old legs every time he wants to do that, my God, this is terrible, and when you have it, you almost miss it. kill every ounce of hope you had in a good non-Tony Hawk skateboarding game.

Then you return to the familiar franchise that will rarely let you down when it comes to skateboarding. Yes, you know the classic skate series, Metal Gear. solid after the original metal gear solid on the ps1 left everyone speechless, with Solid Snake being the only character in a video game capable of performing a 1080 degree quadruple pop. Push it here, he's at it again on the ps2 and pulls off some steezy. tricks all in arsenal gears straight yeah that's what it's called you're skating on a robot's poop muscle this is the coolest but weirdest thing I've ever seen obviously if you know mgs pretty well this may seem like a joke or a fan mod on top of an existing skate game, but no, this is an official Metal Gear Solid skate game with its own hard rock remix of the theme song, how did this come about?

How do we move from a story-based stealth? action game that involves social engineering conspiracies artificial intelligence evolution existentialism censorship and child exploitation and ends with a solid snake making some devious moves on top of a terrorist base, that's because it's actually a bonus feature in the mgs2 re-release original known as Metal Gear Solid 2, substance, but only in the PS2 version, it's a fantastic little package, obviously comes with the main game, but also gives you a DVD with over 350 missions in virtual reality, the ability to return to play the main story missions from Snake's perspective instead of Ryden's. and this gory, ridiculous skateboarding minigame built entirely on the engine of another Konami game that had just been released.

Evolution Skateboarding I guess they wanted to try to advertise this game to me by putting it in a solid skin with metal gear, but they went too far if Ask me because I have absolutely no reason to play that one if I already have this one. Look at him, why would he want to play the other one? And while you're at it, check out this Disney sports skateboard. Oh, wow! right, am I going crazy or am I the only one here who thinks this intro music doesn't even remotely fit what you're seeing, it's almost as if taking the characters from a 1930s cartoon legacy doesn't fit the extreme sports. culture 70 years later do you want your great grandfather to get on a skateboard dressed as a clown because that's what he is and in my case that would be very bad because my great grandfather is a corpse if I had to choose someone to I guess I'll have to go with Max because at least he stands out above the crown and damn, does he stand out in the crowd because the hospital bills this guy should be aware of couldn't even be? paid for by bill gates it's not a stretch if you love falling and getting scared on the asphalt this game is for you because that's all you do it's a disney sports car crash it's hard enough just trying to handle the heavy controls here but even at this early stage you will get hit by cars more times than a group of badgers in mating season, it's absolutely exhausting, you just crash into cars constantly and never see them coming either, and if you don't get hit by people looking to cook a dead dog its stew, you are playing one of the worst skateboarding games ever made, yeah right, you can even play by how it moves like a slug in a glue pot, the controls are so stiff here not only because you have to keep increasing your speed staying forward, which doesn't feel natural at all, but you can barely get any air out of a standard ollie, which makes simple grinds and kickflips feel like a lottery, plus you have to try to deal with these horrible controls while cruising. some of the tightest and most abnormally awkward level designs that would be quite difficult to platform across let alone skate, these are the types of controls that reach into your grandma's dining room and break all the china and if that wasn't enough, this is the most constantly obnoxiously loud game I think I've ever played, constantly yelling at you in a friend, brother, server voice, after doing pretty much anything, good luck, excellent output reflexes, this cat could really show us something great straight out of the shoe.

He repeats it and I scream all the time, so if you can bother me, you've done it wrong. This game has taken me to destruction and carnage, which is lucky for me as I happened to have Thrasher's skate and destroy for the ps1, but what do I choose in the main menu options, options or skate, skate and what character do I want to choose? but then we'll see all your scabs, what's my name, well you know what you can't improve perfectly, so I'll keep it as scabs, now this game is great, I want to know why, first of all, it's because you don't No you just press your board with the place of ollying and turning. the d-pad or the side buttons, you press a single button that spins for you sounds confusing, well wait until you get involved with these stages then oh boy this is about as sterile and basic as you can get, you just need to get the set amount of points and then exit the level, that's it, the problem is that something as simple as a kickflip has its own dedicated button, I can't for the life of me figure out how to grind, I keep pressing any button after doing an ollie to see yes I climb on a ledge but nothing works and I end up turning into an electrocuted crab.

Can I try again? Oh no, you're going to fall off the board before I move. Thanks, why do I trust someone called scab? Oh, and by the way, the levels have their own exit points that you can accidentally enter because there's nothing I like more in a skating game than leaving the level in the middle of a combo. Oh look, this is exactly how I sleep when I'm having a nice dream and suddenly the game completely changes perspectives: a police officer with a Taser is chasing me. How can I see what I'm doing if the camera is not near me?

Where I am? What is the point? This camera angle I'm not controlling the policeman, so what's going on? Wait, wait, I failed the mission because I lost the police, isn't that the idea? I am not looking for an internship at the police station. I'm a skater guy. Who says see you later boy? Okay, let's try grinding again and I don't know, I have no idea. Should I try pressing the dash button? You're joking, so let me clarify this. You press the x button to start pressing. your board, then hold one of these three buttons to prepare, release the button to do the jump trick, and then press the button again to grind what's up with Tony Hawk's rip-offs and never copy what made the game so fun.

First of all, it's a fool who wants to sit there and learn all these stupid specific actions just to do a single trick that requires pressing two buttons. In any other skating game, you also can't get hooked on therails, no, you have to land. over them perfectly while you press the button because we have to be realistic in our skating game with curb edges that push you back and ragdoll physics, hey how are you? Okay, I hear the sirens, it's time to leave the level before the The game turns into the police version of Doom and I lost anyway.

Great, thanks again. Scab and I really love this noise that keeps repeating in the background. It sounds like someone is having a stroke and not the bad guy who skates and destroys where. it was destruction, oh yeah, a Disney extreme skating adventure, I forgot to film something fun, well, well, scary box art aside, could this really be worse than Disney's sports skateboarding? It came out a year later, did you learn anything? Oh, what is this? The good folks at Toys for Bob came back and didn't expect that at all and Tony Hawk's raspberry jam wasn't that bad so maybe this one is really good okay wait a second wait did I put in a game of Disney here or Tony Hawk? jr, where are the cartoons?

I mean, yeah, this kid looks a little like Mickey Mouse, but this isn't Disney at all, so apparently when this game was being made, Disney themselves must have held a competition to get a real-life kid and another from real life. That the girls were starring in this game and the winners of these skating tournaments were the deciding factor, that's great. I have to be honest, but why the hell would I want to play as them when I can play as an open-mouthed Woody? or how about a dead eye buzz, simba torn out, teeth inside out, tarzan or pumba drunk, what's my name this time, that's easy meat and this game is good, in fact this game is really good.

I'm stunned, a game with this cover may actually be one of the best non-Tony Hawk and Woody skating games I've ever played Bailing look like a lot of fun if you want to play an exploratory mission-based collecting skating game but don't want to. to Tony Hawk and you want to skate like Damn Elephant, you play this, it's even aimed at newcomers and young people with a special kids mode that gives you automatic routines and special tricks just by pressing singular buttons and then the pro mode is exactly like Tony Normal Hawk with all the familiar button layouts. and direction input styles for doing tricks and I must emphasize for a second if you make a skating game copying Tony Hawk's controls completely is not a requirement and does not automatically make your game good if you have an original version.

It's all for it, but the thing is that Tony Hawk's control style is very easy to understand and makes a lot of sense for veterans or beginners, whereas it goes too far out of the ordinary with something like Thresh's button-based skating and destroying. The grind button is so unintuitive that it's almost like you're playing a driving game that swaps left and right steering controls. It's the same reason most first-person shooters today use triggers to aim and shoot and the right stick to move the camera. I've just found the perfect control style for this type of skating game and improving it isn't really possible if you ask me, so Toys for Bob had the very wise idea to license and then use the Tony Hawk Pro Skater engine 4 to do this.

The point is that in this game you can skate with your favorite Disney character, Birdie. The gameplay here is amazing. You complete missions by exploring massive levels and talking to all the characters who need help while collecting items hidden throughout the

world

. area so you get better accustomed to the game layout as you finish missions, you unlock more skaters from each Disney movie series, More levels from each Disney movie series and more customization options for your own creator skater where you can end up creating a nightmare. creations with my protruding belly and my fat ankles stuffed into tiny boots I look like honey boo boo oh cool you can make your kid wear a thong suddenly Disney putting all these kids together doesn't sound so fun Disney's extreme skateboarding adventure is Fantastic, I highly recommend it.

If you take a Tony Hawk game, eliminate the men who are sick in the bathrooms, and then slap Buzz Lightyear, you get this game, and hey, while we're on the topic of Disney, yeah, did you forget that Disney owned from the simpsons? I forget at least once every other day, but I'll never forget the first time I played Simpson's Skateboarding on the PS2. Yes, once again, I'm reviewing another game from the vaults of my old, horrible reviews, like a cockroach after a nuclear bomb. My past. It always comes back to make me itch, what is this? no memory card oh what a shame I guess that means I can't play anymore so thank you so much for tuning in everyone.

See you at the next category show at the same time next time. week where I'll be trampling a kitten live on camera, well look, the first thing I see in this game is something that makes absolutely no sense and the sad thing is that this still makes more sense than anything else. About to see the intro of this game it's just horrible, one of the worst I've ever seen. It's just an avalanche of colors and an avalanche of ugly edits enough to give you a seizure or make you feel like you're dying of leprosy. I mean, look at this, come on, they couldn't even cut the target between Bart's armpit and then after possibly the worst intro of all time you're greeted with one of the worst opening themes of all time that sounds like if your CD was You've scratched yourself or are having seizures after this.

Well, this screenshot should tell you everything you need to know about the quality level we're dealing with. Marge looks like a squid and Homer looks like a cold little can of Spam. This is easily one. of the ugliest ps2 games ever made right out of the gate and then you get down to business and think oh you know, maybe I should try doing some tricks on the ground right now, like every skateboarding game ever created, but oh no, you can't. oh no, no kidding, if you try to do something as simple as a kick flip 75 percent of the time it won't work and you'll be eating some grassy dindins, instead you'll once again have to grind it out with a Push Towards forward without auto-acceleration by holding down the ollie button, taking all the flow and momentum out of the game, but I could understand this if the game allowed me to push my board up slightly steep slopes or let me off. of half-pipe bowls that I can't escape but you can't, this is then combined with an absolutely pathetic ollie that sometimes takes you into space and other times barely gets off the ground, meaning you won't clear the gaps and Sometimes you'll just go from zero to pissed off in half a second, absolutely nothing works in this game, it's actually a miracle how broken it is and how ugly it is, I mean, you look at that and tell me that's a person, that he's not a person, he's a pile of beef, also don't forget the overly sensitive balance meter or the fact that you have feedback from your character and Kent Brockman throughout the game and neither of them shut up oh no kick flip cover tailed radical very well done well done sure You could always argue that all these different characters have different stats that are better for different types of skate tricks, but what I'm going to say in response to that is that Tony Hawk has that system too, but you are not absolutely incompetent at the beginning.

In the game you can still do things even if they are not as good as you will be able to do later, but here you can't do anything, I mean look at this most of the time, you can't even grind anyway and instead you have the stick of rail. personally through your head, although I didn't do much else because I decided to give up after a car hit me in the head and then another and then another and then another and then Ken Brockman said give it to me. baby while lisa said for the 47th time this is absolutely categorical and definitive garbage the bubsy 3d of sports games probably one of the worst ever made sure the phoenix games had this abomination five years after skate from Simpson, but those are the Phoenix games, they probably put a blank disk in a sandwich toaster and then I said the game was done, but considering these are the Simpsons and they sell for a much higher price than a Phoenix game, I'm surprised no one seemed to care if this game worked, oh it was so hard, it was kind of a bit bad, did that hurt your feelings?

Do you think he went too far? Have you played this? I don't know how anyone on the development team tested this and thought it was passable. It's almost impossible to play. It's not even that bad. It's good, I don't feel any misguided passion or overinflated egos behind creating this. All I feel is the bitterness of an entire team that didn't want to do this considering it was also aimed at kids who probably didn't do it. I don't know or care who Tony Hawk was, it's probably the most cynical cash grab ever for a licensed game. Copy Tony Hawk's level design, Tony Hawk's game structure, Tony Hawk's mission style, and even Tony Hawk's button layout, but destroy all the other elements.

Magnificently, it makes me wonder why they didn't make a complete Tony Hawk rip-off, quite sure it wouldn't have been original, but it would have been a good game, watch this if you somehow managed to win just one thing. In this game all that satisfaction and frustration is spit in your face since you only win 10 cents 10 cents 10 74 10 cents 10. wait, are you telling me I'm going through all this throwing for a big prize of 99 are you crazy? I use that kind of money to blow my nose and wipe it on homeless people and you expect me to almost die from that 99 shred Springfield with pleasure, okay, so if a Tony Hawk rip-off can't give me If there's no satisfaction, then I'll have to run back into the arms of the man himself and what better way to get back to him than with Tony Hawk Ride on the Xbox 360.

Tony Hawk is gone, so this game, this damn game, here this seventh. The next-gen console classic turned out to be developed by Robomodo, the same lovely guys behind Tony Hawk's Pro Hate My Life Five and you immediately have to wonder why such a big, big book, well, because this entire game is controlled by this infernal thing, oh yeah. By using your body weight and these fancy sensors spread all over the board, this game expects you to have a small amount of skating skill before you start or at least the experience of being able to stand up and shift your weight on a board and I Give credit to To its credit, this thing is solidly built, it's not that flimsy, in fact, if you put trucks and wheels on it, you can skate on it.

It's very well made, which also means I can smash it into a wall over and over again and it will. Never mind, after 10 years of gaming I finally get to ride Tony Hawk and so you can see what the heck I'm experiencing I decided to install this special gym cam so you can get the best view from all angles. Once Tony Hawk gets rid of that right away, this game starts off in the dumbest way I've ever seen. Why go to the effort of making a super expensive experimental gaming peripheral and then putting control buttons on it, including a home button, only to have it later? tell me I need a controller to navigate menus and press the home button anyway if we were going to do that why don't we just, oh I don't know, play the game with the controller?

This skater just turned professional and now. look where we are, this is a real cinderella story just a few days ago, p-rod called them for a special mission in southern california, oh okay, that's our story that was terrible, what was that that didn't does it explain anything? Tony, do you have scurvy? What you have in your hands is one of the most advanced gaming controllers ever created. Oh, don't say here's my skater and his name is bungalow because his hair looks a little like a thatched roof. You're a little worried about playing this because you've never touched a skateboard in your life.

I wouldn't really worry, firstly, because this thing doesn't slip and you won't fly out of the living room and, secondly, because even if you have a little experience like me, you won't make this game work, I repeat, you will not make this game work, I didn't even do that, oh sure, I can push the board, I can do it manually and I can certainly ollie, but by performing specific tricks. It's a total nightmare, this board can't read the subtlest moves it needs to activate certain tricks, and so in this tutorial here the first three minutes of the game, no matter how many tries I gave trying this trick here, I never, ever, never.

It worked, what am I doing wrong? I'm not riding you hard enough. Tone and this is justfor the tutorial. Sometimes even things as basic as an ollie don't even register for a game so focused on performing tricks and maintaining balance at high speeds. jump over objects, the fact that this controller only allows you to perform something as basic as a jump sometimes is reason enough why it is a part of that that should never have been released if a new player has so many chances and luck when performing a hack like Someone who puts hundreds of hours into it, the game will probably fail, and putting that aside, the gameplay you're treated to here is not enjoyable as you approach each objective in exactly the same way as when you're trying to make a move. happens, forget about combos, forget about doing specific tricks on specific spaces or anything you're just trying to do the basics from start to finish, mix it with some dizzy inducing graphics and all the elements blend into a delicate mix of urine and vinegar. are you kidding i don't care what fancy technology you have i just want to spend my money on a game that works and tony hawk ride doesn't work and even if you make it work it's murder on your legs come on this is a video game to play for fun, not as a training ground for the navy look.

I just got some of my highest scores and most sophisticated tricks just by moving the board in any direction I could. How is this fair? and look at this. I was able to improve and more. consistent results from sitting on the thing, how come I can't do this, but by sitting on my stupid ass I can do this? In fact, how could they say that this is the most realistic skating game of all time when? The Tony Hawk series itself already said that a few games ago in Project 8. It's so real that you don't just skate it, you feel it, oh yeah, it happened again.

I rambled too much, but let me ramble a little more. because I really need to get the taste of Tony Hawk out of my mouth and I'm going to conclude this bone-breaking journey by quickly talking, in my opinion, about the best skateboarding games that aren't Tony Hawk, the skateboarding trilogy, what makes the skate The game is so brilliant that they don't copy Tony Hawk's control style at all, instead they give you a control scheme that feels as natural as Tony Hawk's and at the same time is 10 times harder to achieve but 10 times more rewarding. Nail it, once you get it right you'll want to know how these games work, okay you push the board with a grab, grab the board with your left hand with the left trigger, use the right trigger for your right hand and everything in between It is done with the analog joysticks.

Turning left and right, slowing down, and even pumping your body weight up and down ramps to build momentum is done with the left analog stick, while the right analog stick just has a bloody party. with your thumb, as you have to pull it back and then move it. in certain directions to perform ollies and tricks depending on the direction you push or pull the right stick to set up a trick and then depending on the shape your thumb makes the joystick move as you move it, this is how you perform tricks and some of the most.

It's amazing to pull off impressive tricks once you get the hang of it, especially when you integrate it into a combo. Oh, and you also push the right stick halfway forward or pull it back halfway and hold to stay on the manuals, which if your thumb is very Precise can also be linked to more combos, you even need to lean properly and apply the right amount of speed to your stick movement to properly land on the rails and grind them without jumping too high or too low, but because the physics feel very grounded. and the realistic speed feels much more natural here than the madness in Tony Hawk, which needs to make you jump on the rails or else you'll overshoot every routine in the entire game.

The skate trilogy takes what on paper is one of the most players. Unfriendly and crazy control stars in an all-time sports game and manages to weave the impossible into a relentlessly challenging but incredibly rewarding game series. I love them. You get brilliant career modes. Incredible soundtracks. Some of the deepest real-time skating and customization games. replay editing with multiple camera angles and effects, tons of stuff to unlock and the core gameplay features and control style became more refined with each game until skate three where it implodes on itself in my opinion, I mean , I love the improvement. camera in that game, but oh this is not good, Gate 2 is probably my favorite of the trilogy, although it is a great time, but it definitely feels like the first game compared to Skate 2.

In that game, there is a lot more What to do, it looks beautiful. The Xbox 360 runs at a consistent 60fps and feels much tighter to play and less floppy than the first game. Your board felt like an extension of yourself, rather than an unwieldy beast that did whatever it wanted, not to mention this game gave you the ability to exit. your board and walking when you couldn't skate in certain areas and you could fail tricks by just tripping and losing your board instead of falling on your face every time like in skate one oh and how about those multiplayer modes for the meat hall party games ah all of me looking at you a local multiplayer mode dedicated to you deliberately trying to outdo your partner in the most painful and craziest hurdles you can while jumping off skyscraper-sized ramps you can't love this feature.

Skate 3 is a good game. I guess it's basically more than Skate 2 with some added bells and whistles, but it ended up cutting out some other things and is flawed. I'm sure you've done it all. I've seen enough glitch compilations on youtube to know that little detail, yes skate 3 has the park editor and the x-ray feature when you break a bone after a bullet but the local multiplayer is mad compared to two and again, these things get into the To me, look at the AI ​​in Skate Three, it's practically suicidal. In no other skate game I played did I have other skaters interrupting my tricks more than in Skate 3 or random pedestrians just standing around questioning the meaning of their existence.

For me, no other skateboarding game feels as much like ranking up in career mode as it does in skateboarding games, not least because the missions reflect real life, much more unlike Tony Hawk's arcade nonsense. , but because the open world here feels as close to a normal location as you would see in real life. However, in life, everything has been carefully designed so that you can skate it and the speed you can reach is extremely cathartic. Everything here feels so relaxed and down-to-earth, which makes it all the more satisfying as you impress the magazines, act for the photo shoot, and edit the selections yourself. and then get sponsors as you progress until you become a pro.

The most recent skate game came out in 2010, 10 years ago. Christ, thanks e8, but if you don't want to dust off your old ps3 or xbox 360 to try them again, don't. Don't worry because I managed to find two games on Steam made by independent developers who are trying to continue the legacy left by skate session and skater xl. Now don't worry it won't take me long to discuss it because skater xl is a decent attempt at the skate formula while excelling with a unique left foot on the left stick and a right foot on the right stick system but it costs too much money for a game that doesn't have any real content and session.

It's in early access, which is all I need to say about it because damn, it feels like it's in early access and I just can't figure out these controls, you fall off your board in a gust of wind. breathe on you and this tutorial here is possibly more difficult than standing up while holding the right stick down or the left stick forward to tilt and then moving the left or right stick to raise the board in the opposite direction and you can. It doesn't grind on a rail unless you push both sticks in opposite directions and hold them as you land on the rail.

I just can not. I appreciate the effort here, but my fingers can't bend backwards and I'd love to. Check out this new game called Deck Splash, but it ended up being cancelled, which I'm glad because it sounds too much like Dick Splash, so I'm going to get back into skating. Hey I want to see a trick that wasn't me and now We're at the end the thing is guys there are a lot of different ways I can tell you how to play a skate game because everyone really set out to accomplish the same thing so I'm going to do it while doing the coolest trick I can. to say goodbye, damn and hit the bricks bell, follow me on instagram and twitter or i will push a skateboard up your special thanks to my executive producers on my patreon page in the description below trepidanos damian castaway in flim el elegant cards the wizard dredge and bungo michael o'donnell kenneth d ethan spencer lizzie lizzy in a nervous heart abyss of fire specter matthew gunthorpe kyle burke greg john richard howard stephen leblanc matthew heinemann iron ninja steve the weave daniel and alex ex shadowhunter zx critics red eyes skull man tardis type 40 the game shed ramen wolf 1485 slowpong mitchell reed ad thornton smith anderson dell nightshade 96 and basil stan mmm long legged boy
