[@Notpoop906]

@@username1660 Yeah I've never got on with Tony Hawk because the controls are so unintuitive. You're not learning tricks unless you study a strategy guide or a wikipedia page. The controls in skate make complete sense. If you know how to ollie, shove, and flip the board you can do any trick you want by just combining those movements in different ways. It's not even close.

[@leonmikeson2313]

Sam you gotta pull out the Superman Jump next time you play. Ollie into a superman up onto a ledge or box or whatever that's at a certain height and you will jump up off of the ledge/box/whatever and you can pull sick ass tricks mid air, use it to reach higher locations than you normally would be able to in a combo, and just normally freak out your friends with the Superman Jump. Park and Play's concrete barriers around the outer edges of the different floors make a great training spot. You can launch over the big open area in the center at some spots and even over it from the top floor into a lower floor with a landing ramp to absorb some impact. Coolest shit in the game.

[@leonmikeson2313]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/boK4dYGjnJKLrJI here's a short combo I made in Skate 2 last year that shows some of what you could do with Superjump

23:00 Sam is spitting facts tho. Let people make their character look like the physical manifestation of a stroke if the game stays online without a subscription/battle pass/etc.

[@Moto_Medics]

The editing style of skate and snowboard videos is what first got me into the idea of filming, that and the ability to follow someone with a camera but not do the tricks cuz I’m scared of eating shit. It’s really cool to see this bro.

Sam you Shepard, nothing beats some skate and a bag full of that Bhutanese shadow grass. I was young when skate 3 came out, probably like 4. My dad was a manager at Zumiez and they used to have a little spot with a CRT tv and skate 3, my dad came over and showed me how to play, he would be doing ollies, pop shove it 180s, heel flips, It blew my 4 year old brain and later on I picked it up for myself and it gets crazy love from me. Also, skate 4 better fuckin have microtransactions so it lasts long enough for me to find a willing companion and play some skate 4 with my infant child.

My problem with cosmetics is when a skin costs as much as an indie game. There is no reason for games to charge $15 for a fucking anime skin.

[@coltinvautrin6496]

i don't agree but i see where you're coming from. i just feel like, as long as they put a ton of cosmetics, just like in Skate 3, then add microtransaction cosmetics, i don't see how it would be bad for anyone. its optional and it helps the game keep a larger player base, ex; fortnite, (kinda) warzone/cod, WOW, valorant, etc... indie games are important, and also great in most circumstances, but most people that can buy a skin in a game, can also buy an indie game, if you catch my drift. Also, to add on, most higher priced skins are bundles, or rarer skins in some games, ones that only go in the shop once for a particular reason. totally see where you're coming from though.

[@ASentientToaster]

@@coltinvautrin6496 If they have a ton of unlockables that's kickass. But EA is notorious for stripping features from sequels to them sell them as DLC. Look at the Sims as an example of that. And then games like Overwatch 1 it cost 12k to unlock all the skins as a new player. Obviously almost no one would be insane enough to do that. But the fact a company is selling skins in a game that total up to a car is absurd. It's not even about affording it, it's the fact companies are charging so much for stuff that isn't worth the price. I want Skate 4 to be amazing, I love Skate 3. But with EAs track record I'm afraid they're doing everything in there power to screw over people like with Battlefront 1 & especially 2 where it originally took 40 hours to unlock Darth Vader.

I’ve always been envious of the good street skaters in Skate, I was only ever good at vert skating.

[@christianswift4469]

In relation to your fries before boiger conversation, authentic anecdote incoming My middle school band teacher once described not nailing the ending of a piece something like this(like 20 years between then and now); It's like finishing a meal at burger king or mcdonalds and you're taking your last bites. Dip your fries in the ketchup, last bite of the burger, and you go to wash it down and you find a dead rat at the bottom of your cup. This prompted a conversation in which he confirmed he finished burgers and fries *simultaneously*.
