Is The Session Schoolyard DLC Worth The Money???

[@itspigeonthief]

So what you guys think of the DLC???

[@itdatmunch]

Best one yet. Psyched for the jump to the next unreal engine, and the maps to come. 🎉

[@turtleGIRL_8]

I downloaded a pirate session to check FPS. So, my office pc from 2016 could run this map at 32-40 FPS. So, I've bought it) P.s. you can check low end pc gameplay on my channel ↑←

[@almightyIrie]

Probably the best DLC map yet but couldn't care less.. It's just another paid DLC with next to 0 gameplay improvements, not even surprised anymore.. I feel completely disconnected from crea-ture now that they announced to push through with the UE5 update rather than fixing the damn game first. There's bugs in there for more than 4 years now, let that sink in. 4 years is almost half a decade. Let's ignore the long standing bugs: Do you remember all the things promised back then? All NYC maps united? Multiplayer not for 1.0 but at a later date? UE5? OK, that one was on the table as well actually, but for real everybody thought they'd at least iron out the most annoying bugs, implement "1st pass" features like vert, premos and late flips, mirror regular so goofies don't ride switch all the time etc etc. But no, UE5 is where the money's at.. I wonder what will happen to all the modded maps like Hollywood High etc once the game is ported, shamed be they who think evil of it.^^

[@solidsession]

ever thought that them moving to UE5 allows them to fix the long awaited bugs that probably cant be fixed due to UE4 limitations? Its honestly the right call. @@almightyIrie

[@ClarenceFM]

if they fix the gameplay, I'll buy the map

[@jasperalmoore]

My wife got a six piece chicken nugget meal from McDonald's yesterday and it was over nine dollars. That's ludicrous. Not only is this map worth eight dollars, it's one of the best maps ever made for a skate game, in my opinion.

[@ryedaddy1675]

That's cool they hooked you up🎉. Push animation was touched, foot no longer clips through edge of board when taking back foot off. But goofy has an issue where it starts rolling before the push animation begins. Glad we know things are getting worked on now and things should slowly get better❤

[@almightyIrie]

Goofy has more than one issue, it never received any love at all because "we fix regular first and then can mirror everything properly". Rather than a fix we get UE5, hell yea hype hype (not really).

[@lnfskate6083]

Smh I’m disappointed , they refuse to work on making the game look better . They fired how many animators ? They mind as well scrap the game and start from scratch

[@Dizzle84]

I just started playing session a week ago and I am absolutely in love with this game! Quite a few of your videos have helped me along the way also, I definitely liked and subscribed!

[@KJ_Styles]

Loving it so far, really chill atmosphere in this map. Been wanting a school map for forever now. It really feeds my nostalgia for the old Tony Hawk shool maps. 😅

[@demonic75]

I love getting your perspective on things to skate, its really opened up things I normally would skip over or ignore. banger video!

[@itspigeonthief]

Appreciate this, thank you!

[@Jinseng]

2:26 fr the one time I went to California we checked out the stair set. I knew I couldn’t do the 16, but I was absolutely surprised at how big the 12 was. People make it looks so small and easy on video, but I rolled up to it about 7 times before deciding “yah I’m not doing that”

[@CRUISERMUSIC]

I really hope they do something with the camera when you are in a grind and it curves. The camera doesnt turn with the skater so you cant see where the landing is :(

[@kevincollins8620]

I've noticed and it's annoying for me too

[@itspigeonthief]

100% needs work, not being able to see the end of the rail or ledge is extremely annoying!

[@FsKSentrix-kc1jt]

@@itspigeonthiefwould love to see the fisheye cam fixed

[@tactical1981]

Outstanding dlc and fairly priced.

[@kevincollins8620]

Ive already set up ramps to do noseslides on top of lockers. I keep wanting to play this map even though not long ago I focused on finishing the campaign again. Wish this spot had historicals. Only thing im sad about

[@SuperGibbon2410]

Bought it based on your video, been watching for quite a while now and glad to see them keep coming, thanks for the entertainment and information

[@Mediocrityexe]

Kiibaskates said the push animation was definitely improved

[@okGDJ]

i bought it and its my fav DLC so far. I like the realistic skate parks and spots

[@milesdeming8911]

360 big flip is a Gazelle flip. Also loves when u said “-don’t believe in overcrooks.”

[@itspigeonthief]

Yes of course, knew it was called something!

[@MFNDman]

Overcrooks do exist... if they don't, salads shouldn't be called salads.

[@willpellerin413]

My opinion absolutely also, I've been away from video games since 2015. My last game was skater 3 this blows it away my personal opinion. I've also been skateboarding for 38 years. Obviously it could use a little work here and there but as a skater I think it's amazing. The skate franchise started focusing too much on downhill racing and hall of meat. They went away from the realistic skateboarding theme.

[@MadDgtl]

"you can never have too many rails in a school map" skater xl multiplayer trolls: "hold my beer"

[@manicspike]

Went back to American Wasteland with the messenger bag, nice. Excellent map, and new objects added too. Still trying to use the new roll-in ramp to skate the Triangle seen at 6:57. Already love skating the one on the Skater XL South Florida map. Seen so much positivity over the map I'm very curious as to what could be next for a map, and of course whatever gameplay updates.

19:42 fuck 2 hour recording sesh and bringing it down to 20 min is real work

[@JustIchi1]

dude, watching you playing session make me want to try skateboarding in real life for real.

[@itspigeonthief]

Go for it!! You won’t regret it!

[@ichrism]

5:05 there is mentions of animation changes in the devblog actually

the more i watch your channel the more i love love your videos. when i first started watching im not gonna lie i didnt like your accent so i didnt watch much. but i pushed myself past that personal preference and not i really do love your videos. keep up the fire work fam!

[@itspigeonthief]

Thanks for sticking around man! Trust me my accent annoys me too sometimes haha

[@varyagace]

The push animation DID change! They showed it on a devblog. Both push and brake animations.

[@BudetSvobodnoy]

where exactly did they show it? nothing in said in the blogpost on steam about animations

[@varyagace]

@@BudetSvobodnoy right, it was on one of JL Nightnmare's recent videos. He's working with the devs now.

[@Brody-Andrson2010]

I did rodney mullens half cab crook nollie inward on one of the tables in the schoolyard part of the map

[@garageink74]

I think I’m going to be stuck in the asphalt banks area recreating old 80s parts for a while.

[@nomodz4real]

I bought the DLC for myself and a friend. It's pretty good so far

[@StillSteezy]

“Or a nose grind if you don’t believe in overcrooks” 🤣🤣

[@RoastyBunz]

Really good map, still wish we had some skaters/pedestrians to add life to it but the best DLC so far mapwise. Missed opportunity to add more historic challenges though... So many legendary spots and no historics feels a bit lazy.

[@itspigeonthief]

Historical challenges would have really pushed this map to the next level!

[@K4SH.11]

I noticed a change in the push animation too. I thought there was something wrong with my game 😅

[@wgo89]

wait can u still get this i haven’t gotten the game yet but i’m thinking about and it’s on the top of my xmas list and i rly want the schoolyard map but idk if i can stilll get it please help

[@thesoundofviolencepodcast]

Love your content and love the new Session drop. You got to lower your push speed dude it looks wild af

[@itspigeonthief]

Haha yeah I think it’s on full blast I need to tone it down a bit!

[@RawLmax]

I've also noticed the game playing *way* smoother and nothing of note in the patch notes

[@cainbierl8083]

Need your stats! I’m on Xbox but damn! Your gameplay is looking dialed 👌🏻

[@itspigeonthief]

Stats video on the channel and screenshots with number values on my Discord so you can copy them over easily!

[@WASPjasper]

Do u have a link to the grip?

[@sirnyberg5105]

Love your content man but how do you lock into grinds so smoothly? Every grind you lock in perfectly. Mine slide off constantly or just don't lock in. You make it look so easy

[@itspigeonthief]

Just don’t have your grind alignment too low. The feature is kinda broken and if it’s too low you’ll just unrealistically slide out of everything despite how locked in you should be. Keep it somewhere in the middle, high enough to keep locked in but low enough to still slip out for that extra challenge!

[@SlampthChompth]

Where do I get the body pillow pants?

[@qahiko_]

i stopped playing skate sims as much but i got it regardless bc i really wanna support these sick fucking devs

[@jordanhare935]

Slappys and wallies dont seem to work at all for me for some reason no matter how well im aligned. What grind settings are you using if ya dont mind me asking? Relaxed? Friction low or high?

[@Occams_Greatsword]

Been loving the map. I have a few good lines recorded.

[@zacharyjohnmusic]

I’m probably going crazy but fakie heelflips look way better than they did before. Like the back foot kicks out more or summin

[@danleonardoyo3946]

Do you have a mod for the way your flips and catches work? They look so much different than minr

Nope, no gameplay mods!

He's so good at this game it doesn't even make sense. I've been playing for years and I'm pretty good. But no comparison here. And the DLC is dope. Best one yet. And for $7 you can't go wrong.

[@alanscubana8724]

Played the new map for a couple hours last night and was like dang why am I so much better…I think you’re right, it is smoother

[@BudetSvobodnoy]

wait pigeon I think I know what's different. Wheels are not bouncing off the ground anymore when you land big gap, do they??? Also, I read the blogpost, and they stated that they are back to idea of moving to Unreal 5

[@itspigeonthief]

Wheels do still bounce sadly, happened to me numerous times while recording this!

[@kronshevskiy]

What is skitr? Hollywood 12 and 16 staits

[@pemodays]

I think they changed the pushing animation... Btw what's your color settings? Like filter, sun angle etc etc... Do you have that information in your discord? Peace ✌️

[@itspigeonthief]

I have the blue boost filter on but i haven’t messed with the sun angle. The filter just gives it a nice saturation boost!

[@Zyke_iLLest]

They changed the pushing and stopping animation the foot goes off to the side when u push now before it used to go through the board

[@itspigeonthief]

Nice little improvement!

[@ethanchastain9282]

They need to add some different hair options

[@smittyabbott9999]

Agreed 💯

I didn’t know it was this cheap for the DLC!?!?! It’s highly worth it. Don’t even hesi❤

physics changes? when? where? he mentioned small tweak/fix for push animation and another small animation related thing i can't remember - it sure as hell wasn't "goofy fixed"^^

[@maedbhdonaghy3631]

got me thinkin. they have bound to be working on a Barca map...

[@cainsta]

Is it just me, or does the game look graphically better now? Everything looks higher res to me. Have they converted to Unreal engine 5 yet?

I have been playing this DLC for 2 days now 1st day for about 7 hours and the next for about 2 best dlc yet and I’m gonna be skating it for awhile while waiting for the next one. Is it worth it for 7.99 us I would say ahhh what are u waiting for.

The inverse of a regular 360 flip. There is trick guides in game, check them out!

[@thegascompany1051]

Why dont they give console players the option to wear socks with shorts for your created player or give them more of a variety of hairstyles other then then the same two and what about more clothes and more music to the soundtrack 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ those little things would make the game feel a little more refreshing for console players
