Forums - Gaming Discussion - skate. Anyone buy it?

 I was shocked when I saw the american charts this week. Why? because EA's skate. pretty much floped. 

 I bought it and I have to tell you, its fun. Nailing tricks with your right stick is very satisfying. For those who haven't played it, there is a demo on xbox live. (I don't know if its on the psn.) Give a try, I'm sure most people will like it.

I hope sales pick up next and I hope the PS3 versions sells so there will more sequels.

My cousin bought it and loves it. I liked the demo so can't wait to try it at his house.



Wow. Looks like there aren't that many people intrested in skate.



 

I played the demo... i liked the concepts for the controls but just didnt feel like they nailed it, Tony Hawk's controls though were pretty good. Not getting either though.

People keep complaining that EA just milks old IPs but when an orginal, well build game comes out they don't buy it. I don't get it.

 Thats your opinion but considering most EA games get a score of over 70%, your assupmtion of EA games usually sucking is wrong.

 Play Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 for the ps2, xbox or gamecube. Great skating game, might change your mind on the series (might not, game is old. May not have aged well).



 

When you hear people talk about it, most just got tired of replaying Tony Hawk over and over. If sports games didn't update the rosters every year, you wouldn't see people so excited about them either. The little things that each Tony Hawk game changes do not really justify another $60 you have to spend on it.

As far as skate goes, I haven't played it yet. The reviews say that having the tricks on the analog stick put everything too close together. They we're inadvertedly doing the wrong tricks sometimes. Just because EA put out an original IP does not necessarily mean it will be great.

It is a skating game, and a sports game. Though skating games are usually much better types of sports games, I have just never been into them.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

skating games have done better on PS1,PS2 and i think the game should do better by the time the PS3 version is out.



Heeeeyyyy!!!! <Snap>
