this seems quite a bit harder than the first one.

I didn't play the first, but this one is kicking my butt. My career is not going well, though I must admit just skating around and finding a fun line is cool.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 26 January 2009 16:09 (fifteen years ago) link
I am complete ass at anything vert related.
Good thing about this game: the graphics creator, although it would obv be much better if you could draw your own shit mspaint stylee rather than use their shapes and etc. but the text has allowed me to have a black deck with Bawbag written in it in pink. Which is awesome.

I'm up and running with Skate 2. Let's do this thing!

It's crazy how early in the game they expect you to beat Danny Way in a big air challenge. That was one of the last challenges in skate 1.
― Your heartbeat soun like sasquatch feet (polyphonic), Tuesday, 27 January 2009 05:42 (fifteen years ago) link
haha, yeah. I found the challenge about as hard as that challenge in the first one as well. Steep learning curve for someone who is new to the game.
― Bone Thugs-N-Harmony ft Phil Collins (jim), Tuesday, 27 January 2009 12:36 (fifteen years ago) link
The point thresholds seem to be a little more forgiving, but otherwise it's pretty damned hard.

don't actually know how you find them, but if you're on Xbox live I uploaded a spot, it's just a rooftop jump in to the old pool but it's ok. My gamertag is JimMessina

oh fuck off, a quick google tells me i have to trick through the checkpoints. doh.

This game is so much harder than the first one. I'm stuck on a bunch of different things, it's humiliating!
― Your heartbeat soun like sasquatch feet (polyphonic), Friday, 30 January 2009 07:01 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah I know, I have 4 pro challenges that I'm stuck on. One of them, the Alien manual shop, is definitely achievable, I've just made a mess of it a few times and got bored, the other ones, vert with the vampire, blaow!!, and can you spell girl? I'm nowhere near doing.
― Bone Thugs-N-Harmony ft Phil Collins (jim), Friday, 30 January 2009 13:27 (fifteen years ago) link
anyone figured out the easy way to do the danny way challenge yet?
― cozwn, Saturday, 31 January 2009 22:03 (fifteen years ago) link
the camera DLC looks neat, but fuck if I'd pay for something shd be in the retail game
― cozwn, Sunday, 1 February 2009 12:18 (fifteen years ago) link
I think I may have finished this game, apart from a few "Do this trick that is impossible for polyphonic to do on command" missions.
― Your heartbeat soun like sasquatch feet (polyphonic), Tuesday, 3 February 2009 17:27 (fifteen years ago) link
I think I might be done too, though there are many things left to accomplish. I hate the "do this trick and then this other one" and playing S.K.A.T.E. All the ones that let you decide what to do - do a grab over X, a flip over Y - I'll spend all day figuring out what line I need; but screw the other crap. I'll just freeskate so I can shut off pedestrians, traffic & security.

The races were a lot of fun. Adding an enormous mountain was a awesome idea.
I made another video last night:

Nicely done! I like the 2nd one you have up (up at the megapark) - I haven't been able to land that line.
I've updated mine - a few new vids and pics. This one made me laugh:

I hope it is okay for me to post an actual skate video in this thread:
― Your heartbeat soun like sasquatch feet (polyphonic), Thursday, 5 February 2009 18:45 (fifteen years ago) link
That was pretty awesome.
― Bone Thugs-N-Harmony ft Phil Collins (jim), Thursday, 5 February 2009 19:05 (fifteen years ago) link
Great vid. The flip at the end was absurd.

Triple heelflip to a grind, not a completely awesome video or anything but i totally surprised myself doing it and it's fairly sweet.
― Bone Thugs-N-Harmony ft Phil Collins (jim), Thursday, 12 February 2009 21:25 (fifteen years ago) link
That is a great line! Be proud of it.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 12 February 2009 21:28 (fifteen years ago) link
I gave up and sold this today. I was not going to progress without some fighting game learn all the nuances so you can pull out every trick on command bs. I just don't have the time. Plus, the asshole quotient online was way, way too high - if I asked for help on executing something, or tips on how to work a line I was booted. Nice people.
I don't regret buying it - the time until I plateaued was amazing - but repeating a line for an hour stopped the fun. Respect to all who master it, but like with fighting games, that's not why I play.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 17 February 2009 18:38 (fifteen years ago) link
How far in did you get? As someone who has "beaten" both games, I don't think I'll ever get even close to as good as the dudes who play online.
― Your heartbeat soun like sasquatch feet (polyphonic), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 18:57 (fifteen years ago) link
Guessing from what I read online somewhere past the middle. I hate playing S.K.A.T.E., and it seems like there became more and more of these as time went on. Shutting off the volume helped me get through the Dyrdek stuff, but it seemed to lose the fun factor as it went on. Every time I unlocked something I didn't feel like I accomplished something but that I had unleashed more impending drudgery on myself.
Back to Burnout Paradise for my pick up and play fun game.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 17 February 2009 21:06 (fifteen years ago) link
the replay value in this game for me has been going back to all the own the spot points and beating my xbox live friends high-scores just to be petty.

So, I played the demo of Skate 2 and really enjoyed it, but decided that seeing as I have many other games to work through I would wait and see if the price came down. HMV are now doing the original Skate for £9.99, while Play.com are doing Skate 2 for £24.99. Should I go with just Skate for now, or would I be better skipping it and going straight to Skate 2?
Obviously there's always the option of 'both', but if Skate 2 is way better than the original I might not play the original much. What a connundrum.
― CraigG, Tuesday, 31 March 2009 12:46 (fifteen years ago) link
imo Skate 2 isn't much better than the original. A little bit better yes, but only small improvements.
― Blackout Crew are the Beatles of donk (jim), Tuesday, 31 March 2009 12:59 (fifteen years ago) link
Cool. I figure dropping £10 isn't exactly a big risk anyway; I've paid more for games that only got played once...
― CraigG, Tuesday, 31 March 2009 15:05 (fifteen years ago) link
been playing a lot of this lately for some reason while waiting for Infamous to hit; I really love it but ye gods does it make you confront how shitty you are at it. plus I haven't even played skate since I sold my 360 so I'm extra-crappy at the moment; I don't think I've even earned a single trophy. still, though, it's great.

Where did you manage to find this for a tenner? I just finished Skate a couple of weeks ago, and am ready for Skate 2, but refuse to pay above £20 for games :)
