No way it is a $60 game

I just played for an hour and didn't see anything like that. I'm sure it's there but that guy in the video isn't exactly trying to play the game and if he was he's awful.


I did a few missions and actually skated around doing tricks and saw nothing like that.

I mean 95 percent of that video is just awful landings. I guess the game plays better when you actually stay on the board?

[Blzer]

Yeah, looks like he was trying hard to exploit the glitches.

The only real turn-offs for me in this game are that "slam magnet" feature and the Mario star kind of thing. Everything else just looks like THPS, and I'm fine with that.

I'm really enjoying it. This is coming from someone who thinks Tony hawk 3 is a top 5 game ever though.

The special thing is different. Once your meter fills you hit lb to activate it. Then you get that blue trail thing you are talking about. After that every move you do is flashier and worth more points. I think I would have preferred the old method of just hitting the right button combos to do specials once your meter filled but it's not awful my any means. The slam thing doesn't change the game much for me.

According to Polygon this game is profoundly broken.

And yet I'm going on 2-3 hours play time and Ive seen nothing that shows its broke. Those guys are having issues during the tutorial. That's like 2 minutes in.

Guys are just falling and blaming it on the game. Hard to take a review seriously when it's clear they went it wanting to hate it. If you like Tony hawk you are missing out if you let a review like that sway you.

Unless of course I've just got lucky for 2 hours straight tonight. I'm going to pick it back up later. It's definitely not online only like then say too. Very easy to play by yourself.

Edit: Also they complain about the stomp feature ruining a good run. that guy saying "oh you are high in the air. Well now you are on the ground!" Makes no sense. Unless you hit the stomp button while you are in air. Which is user error. Only time Ive used it so far is to go into a grind. Comments like that make me feel like they went in wanting to bash game.
