There we go, now we're at the meat of the game.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Awesome, I'm so glad they broke it!

Yeesh, this game.

Giant Bomb #17 | Just a space station of Lil Waynes

 

[daydream]

It doesn't seem THAT broken though. Sure it has some framerate drops and glitches, but for the most part it just seems like a bad, poorly conceived game.

hm, it seems so unpolished to me, the menus, the systems, the animation, the collision, the everything

i'd rather have it be cool but broken so they could fix it, this just seems unsalvageable, if only 'cause it wouldn't be worth the trouble to put more time into something this bland

the only person that did a decent job was the guy who put together the soundtrack, it seems pretty good all things considered

 

[strafer]

Calling it now; 1 star.

 

[ratcliffja]

Calling it now; 1 star.

Almost certainly.

 

[Myggen]

I'm surprised every time someone mentions that this is a $60 game.

 

[strafer]

This level is my biggest memory of THPS3.

 

[alr1ght]

I bet Dave Lang is friends with these guys.

 

[Mister Negative]

I feel bad for most of the skaters in this game, to be honest. You have to think that most of them grew up playing these games thinking about how cool it would be to be in a tony hawk game, and now they're in this pile of trash.

 

[Felix Lighter]

It will be a

'$60 Tony Hawk like game developed by 4 people released in 2015 on Steam Early Access' / 5

 

[Antiwhippy]

Weren't robomodo formed by some fairly prominent developers? I remember some hoopla about their forming.

God dammit Dan.

Fly away Lil Wayyyyyyne.

So much talk over the past week about Tony Hawk, Lil Wayne, and Fred Durst. We're heading in the wrong direction.

Giant Bomb #17 | FLY AWAY LIL WAYNE

I vote for this one

 

[Santar]

Growing up in the 80's and 90's with games having lots of slowdowns and hearing Jeff and Dan complaining about Tony Hawk 5 having some frame rate drops being unacceptable makes me realize what a weird spot in gaming we're at now.

Before being jerky and slowing down was just how many games were, now if a game jerks or slows down it's like the end of the world for some people.
I'm just glad I don't care, unless a game is completely unplayable of course. If a gamle slows down a little here or there that's fine.

So do I.

We didn't know better in the 90s, now we do. Especially for a game that should require precision like this game slowdown is a fucking killer.

THPS3 released 14 years ago and was 60fps.

 

[AcridMeat]

Cloud Nothings, nice.

"They" better damn well be somebody other than Robomodo because are incapable of making a good Tony Hawk game that plays well.

If Nintendo couldn't get Mario controls even remotely close, Mario Maker would be terrible too.

Tony Hawk 3, 4, Underground, and Underground 2 were all a solid 60fps.

 

[Santar]

We didn't know better in the 90s, now we do. Especially for a game that should require precision like this game slowdown is a fucking killer.

And we were completely fine with it, imagine that.

I'd take up a new hobby involving book depositories and other high vistas and staying still for long periods of time.

It's not like 60fps is a modern concept.

Hey wait where's the Bombcast

 

[Teddified]

Some great stuff in that QL.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Cell phones weighed 8 pounds and lasted 45 minutes on a batter in the 80s. Our perspective on tech changes over decades.

 

[Archaix]

Hey wait where's the Bombcast

Canceled. Video games are canceled, in fact. It's Tony Hawk 5's fault.


Also I'm really confused about this idea that we didn't care about framerate in older games. That shit has been mentioned in reviews as long as 3D games have existed, and it has always been unacceptable for it to drop. Slowdown was pointed out as a negative as far as NES games.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Was it a dan/jeff ql BTW?
