    While I did put Skate 1 away after about a month, I'd say the only thing keeping me from buying 2 and 3 are that 1 seemed so complete... I mean... one stick for board, one stick for body, and it's intuitive enough to quickly get, and hard enough to train and train on. I really didn't find myself going "you know, this could use a ____." Pretty shocking for a brand new(?) game idea really. #skate3

    Skate 2 is the only game that I occasionally pop in and play just for sheer enjoyment. No scores, no multiplayer, no quests, just fun (like real skateboarding is with friends). #skate3

    I got so bored with Skate 2. I couldn't even put my finger on what I didn't enjoy about it. I loved the first one, and I just felt a bit lost in the second one I think. The most fun I had with Skate 2 was playing the bails multiplayer on the demo #skate3

    @soap_box: Yeah, same here. With Skate 1 I would waste hours just tricking off of a simple curb stop but something about Skate 2 keeps you traveling instead of skating.

    Hard to explain what it was but it probably has to do with level design. #skate3

    I'm not a fan of the controls in Skate. Personally the way a game controls is probably the most important factor for me when it comes to video games and if they are uncomfortable or have a steep learning curve I'll tend to pass on it. I realize that I may be giving up on a decent game here and there but at least I'm not one to not play a game because the graphics aren't good or something superficial like that. I mean controls are the foundation to a game and for me make or break it.

    I'd really love a feature where you could see your friends in the same city doing their own stuff, then seamlessly set up a game of SKATE, some Hall of Meat or just kick around in a freeskate.
    Wasn't there something like that in Shawn White's Snowboarding? #skate3

    @Jezuz: because you love the carving engine, amirite? use both analogs while carving and you'll see what I mean: layback cutbacks spraying powder just like they should. I dont think gaming press knew enough to praise these dynamics in reviews. #skate3

    @jp182: Shawn White's Snowboarding did something no other snowboarding game has... copied Skate's dual-analog control.

    LA = boarder's shoulders (traditional turning)

    RA = boarder's hips (stance rotation; checkslides; reverts; laybacks)

    so you can trad-carve a slope/hip with LA and then ever-so-slightly rotate your hips to simulate deepheel/deeptoe. It's pretty remarkable if you take the time to play with it.

    most people just wanna barrel roll (read: 1080 stalefish). #skate3

    why is everyone acting like paid DLC is something new. 5 bucks is pretty reasonable, especially if it adds achievements or trophies.

    I'm torn.


    On one hand, I'd like a new area, and it's a very reasonable price.


    On the other, I found Dyrdek to be almost as annoying as Reda, and have problems paying money to support anyone who can seriously use the word "flarey" in conversation.

    The achieves have been bumped up to 1250, but only 100 of those are from the Fantasy Factory pack. There is another pack with some of the old spots from skate 1 that will contain the other 150 poinst worth of achievements.
