thps1 thps2 are flawed, the only reason to play is muh atmosphere. thps3 is perfect but thps4 is perfect+ with thug1 being alright and thug2 being epic and perfectly fine

>>15607443

he meant it in the literal sense because the games took so long to go through the travesty that was a story

>>15607428

JGR was the first, and JSRF was the last.

THPS4 is crap. Anybody who says that THUG was the turning point has to have some issues. The whole point was to try do as many of the special/combo/points in a combo/gaps/points in a round as you can, and THPS perfected that. By having a time limit it meant that you had to try and do a handful of things within that time limit, under constraints, rather than "try this particular trick and you have as long as you need to get it right"

>>15607446

Oh, okay, carry on then. I've only ever played THPS1+2

>>15607453

THUG had some really good ideas, like the fun character creator and a more open world with exploration.

>>15607464

>Fun character creator

This is fine

>more open world with exploration

THIS IS NOT PRO SKATING

>>15607501

Also, the smaller, tighter (and more streamlined) level design meant that secret areas like the secret area in the hangar and the spooky mansion in the suburb were a lot more fun than Generic Suburb #323 that THUG and THPS were full of.

>>15607501

It could have been handled much better.

Scouting out the park/location on foot before skating is a good idea, and being able to see where all the objectives are BEFORE being thrown into the mix is also a good idea. It should have been handled in rounds, i.e. an on-foot exploration round followed by a skating round and not just a constant intermingling of both.

>Scouting out the park/location on foot before skating is a good idea

It's really not- by using these closed in, small levels, they could be a lot more creative with the design because they didn't have to make the level conform to an environment. Take for example, if you could scout out an area before hand, you would (or could) inevitably find secret areas before you even enter the level.

>and being able to see where all the objectives are BEFORE being thrown into the mix is also a good idea

A terrible idea for the same reason.

>It should have been handled in rounds, i.e. an on-foot exploration round followed by a skating round and not just a constant intermingling of both

Why are you playing a skating game if you want to walk around on foot?

Skate 1 and 2

P8 was fun

I have played it in recent years and I truly enjoy it due to the increased difficulty compared to earlier THPS.

I remember playing tag mode in one of the Tony Hawk games on PS1 with my cousin.

>>15608002

>inscreased difficulty

Care to elaborate? With the timer gone, reverts now being an acessory to the crime of spine transfers and manuals being a gateway to freestyle without having to slow down, where do you think it is more difficult? Goal-wise? Not sure if any goals in thps4 broke the 300k mark

>>15608022

>Being autistic about score despite thps4 being the best contender for racking up score

Goal wise yes, there are some tricky missions and the pro missions making you do a lot more crazy stuff.

But then again, earlier tony hawks you can eventually complete all the goals by completing them one by one.

>>15607999

the new stat system THUG implemented was a massive improvement. I tried playing THUG2 recently but found myself burnt out in Boston, the second level. It's just not very fun.

>>15608027

Here's how i see it: THPS1-3 let you blast through the goals in one session without stopping, THUG let you get off-board and get to whatever goal you wanted but ALSO allowed you to select any goal from any chapter wheteher or not you found that particular goal's NPC. THPS4 imo has worst of both worlds, you can't blast through things because of the dialog shit, and you can't quickly warp nor walk to goals (unless you found the person already).

Thread theme

are there any skateboard games that let you play as a loli?

SO HERE I AM

Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure. It's a good game made on the THPS4 engine.

>>15607428

I'll tell you what the best skateboarding game ever is right now

it's __real life____

seriously, you can get a decent board for ~$100 or so, and it's a ton of fun

I always really liked Matt Hoffman's Pro BMX. Ends up sort of playing like Tony Hawk 1.5. It's not the best game in the world, but I certainly count it as part of the series. I never did play the sequel, though. Gotta get around to that.

I know there was also Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer. I never played that but can't imagine how it could play similarly to Tony Hawk. Matt Hoffman is the exact same game as Tony Hawk in all but name, but surfing would make no sense for that.

>>15607984

>California games

If we’re counting NES games, then you forgot Skate or Die.

>>15614329

ngl i played the shit out of that game

1080 Avalanche was the best snowboarding game ever until Steep surpassed it.

Absolutely underrated sequel.

I know a most people would instantly give it no credit because

>rollerblades

but I thoroughly enjoyed Aggressive Inline and I'd suggest anyone who liked the THPS games play it.

So here I am.

Why the fuck would you play a video game of something you could easily do in real life.

>>15615006

>easily

that shit is hard if you weigh more than 150lbs

>>15607428

You mean skat thrad?

>>15612826

I was about almost done getting all gaps without a guide before my game crashed and corrupted my save. It was so crushing I never tried again.

>>15614626

I didn't know THPS4 had a splinter cell level

>>15615006

t. Phelper

Go edit your stupid mag, faggot

>>15614676

This anon knows what's up

Agressive inline should have been the THPS4, if that makes any sense. Rad rat makes a good point about it if you bother watching his review of it

Dave Mirra was a better series and had better music.
