Rockstar should commission (or better yet make it themselves) another Thrasher Skate and Destroy game.

But I want a Skate game not a shitty arcade racer with skateboard cars ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

So Jeff is definitely pulling for THPS5 in his most disappointed of the year.
Crazy that he didn't even have much expectations for it and is still this angry/disappointed with it.

I didn't either. The thing is, I think most people looked at this like 'it'll be as bad as THPS HD' which was a bad Tony Hawk imitation. This, however, is such a different beast. It's like a bad Tony Hawk imitation but from people who have only ever heard of what the Tony Hawk games are supposed to be like.

I think what gets me most about TH5 is that there's no flow to it. It's all sudden and ugly transitions between two points of animation, especially with that slam mechanic. It's a pain in the ass to follow, and it looks like levels are too small for how sudden everything happens.
Yep. It'll be a case where the expectations weren't very high, but the end result is so much more dismal than you expect.

Remember that time Jeff was playing Skate and Lil Wayne died?

The level design contributes to that too. There are no lines in any of the levels I've seen. Go back and look at a level like Alcatraz and see the sheer density of stuff and how everything links together so you can grind your way around the whole map. Then look at how barren the stuff in 5 is.

Wasn't Brad's argument to get Destiny into the top 10 that the only thing wrong with it was there wasn't enough of it, lol. Expect Taken King to be this year.

Brad's argument was that he can talk longer and won't give up on his point until he's blue in the face or his opponents give in to his demands.
But really I don't think they're going to put Destiny on the list this year.
Totally, I was waiting for those big trick combo lines that are always supposed to be in these games. The kind of thing that lets you pull off millions of points going from one end of the map to the other while feeling awesome about doing so.

THPS5 was a loving tribute.
The levels also seem to have no surprises to them. The original games had nooks and crannies and little secrets hidden everywhere that only added to the positive feedback loop. Granted I haven't seen anything beyond the QL, but it really does seem like they're just levels created in the level editor with little thought given to the skate lines and points of interest.
Look how nice this looks!

Just saw brad Muir is moving to Seattle .
Shame. Always loved when he was on GB stuff

He can do a few tricks but he's not actually very good. When he was super drugged out a few years ago he had it in his head that he wanted to quit rapping and become a professional skater. That never came to pass.

Brad will find a way.
Eh, I mean sure, but that isn't going to stop me from putting it on my list at the end of the year for the voting thread. I did the same for the Dishonored DLC because it's so damn good.
I can see Brad pushing for it

You don't understand the forces we are dealing with here. Brad is a pro at GOTY podcasts!!
Yooo, that Death song early in the THPS5 QL. Good to see it show up somewhere.

According to SteamSpy sold ~83k copies on steam. No idea how much on XBO, it was free for a month or two on there.

I'm watching the Giant Bomb Mario Maker level being played by Arda Ocal/Kyle Edwards on Periscope and I'm realizing how the existence of Dan Ryckert effectively turns the concept of Six Degrees of Separation into Three or Four.

Just finished up the THPS5 QL.
There was a moment there where I actually thought Jeff lost it.

Did he say he was going to take them out back and burn them?

Technically no. But rules have never stopped this man before.
They can't let him get away with it 2 years in a row, I have more faith in the rest of the crew than that.
There are some great moments in it, definitely.
