  • The review focuses a lot on the negative, but I did truly enjoy the game after I got past all of the goals and just started to enjoy it for what it is.
    Later, I realized that I might have had to do 10 heelflips in a row because of the goofy stance, but I'm not sure. I'm not matching anything, so it doesn't make sense that I would have to mirror it.
    That Tony Hawk footage is from THUG Pro. You can see my review here: • THUG Pro review for PC
    Did you see that really weird text problem at the very end? I forgot to mention it, but that happened to me a lot.
    Overall, I would say that this game has some great bones. But it needs some heavy polish. It just feels incomplete right now.

    i was one of the ones who suggested this game and when i did i was completely not thinking about the actual missions and objectives. i strictly use this game to "free skate" and try to get high scores on the leaderboards. you nailed it with the 'glorified tech deck' comment, that's exactly how i use it and i find it very entertaining. another great review, keep it up! i am also curious about Skater but haven't been able to get passed all of the negative comments about glitches in order to pay the $5.

    • @RadRatVideo

      Yeah that's what I'm thinking too. I might do some other videos and wait for an update or two before I try it out. I'd hate to give it a crappy review and then it turns into something great a few months down the line.

    I've been playing this game for a little over three years now and never really payed any attention to all of the glaring flaws you pointed out lol. It's quite ridiculous with micro-transactions, most of the stages are bland, not to mention the "missions". All of these things make the game horrible, but in my opinion it has the best skateboarding mechanics and physics of any mobile skateboarding game. "a glorified tech deck" sums it up perfectly.

    All I can think of with these mobile games is, "What would that level play like in THUGPro?" Or just with controller support in, say, a Steam port or something. I just can't get into touch controls for most genres. But nice reviews regardless! It's nice to have an idea what these play like, in case I ever pull the trigger and try one out. (And have an improved device that won't melt from them!)

  • @AmpersandFB

    I totally agree that it is more of a sandbox style skateboard game that is all about the physics engine. I have spent almost all of my time just creating challenges for myself on the courses. That's pretty much all that I do in Skate 3 at this point as well. Great review man!

    you made some good points here! I played the game for years and downloaded all the levels, and I still play it every day. I 100% agree with you, the missions are extremely dumb (apart from the score based ones) and the game isn't extremely clear on the controls. the only thing I do on this game is free skate. I know it is quiet costly for a mobile game to buy all the parks but for the time I spent on each on, I think I definitely got my money's worth :)

  • @eeeeric1966
    @eeeeric1966 7 лет назад

    So I've been playing true skate for over a year and there's a few things I've learned or had happen. I have found a handful of glitch spots where you fall through the map (on schoolyard you can get onto nearly every roof quite easily), I have nearly all tricks on lock down so I can throw them whenever I want to and land clean every time, and I have hit the maximum number of true credits (100,000) 6 or 7 times now(when you do tricks while you have 100K points you don't actually get anymore true credits so that's just a waste, therefore I usually decide to do a whole skateboard make over then, like change whatever I want and make it look nice). I really enjoy finding large transfers or other random tranny finds. I have over 1000 uploads on my integrated "Everplay" account (EnergeticTheory1966). I am also working on finding every gap on every map going by the gap book and completely he trick book :D

    man i usually love this channel but god damn this review is awful. this is the best skateboarding game period. best control of the board. touch grind is absolutely not even a comparison. that game is shit. yes the missions are glitchy, yes you could complain about paying literally a couple bucks for some maps (several are free if you just earn the points, which you failed to mention), and yes the menus were bad before, but it’s changed. better menus, session marker is easy to set, it’s overall better. i can’t believe you complain about the board getting marked up, like in real life when you skate your board gets marked up, do you want it to just look perfect forever? the same thing is in skate and tony hawk. i don’t see you complaining about it there. who plays a phone game for the missions? it’s a virtual toy. it’s a “glorified” (not really at all) tech deck, like you said. nobody made you pay 5 more dollars either. you can pay efficiently or not, that’s your fault. this whole thing sounds like you’re just used to touchgrind (ew) so you found whatever way you could to call this game bad.

    All I can think of with these mobile games is, "What would that level play like in THUGPro?" Or just with controller support in, say, a Steam port or something. I just can't get into touch controls for most genres. But nice reviews regardless! It's nice to have an idea what these play like, in case I ever pull the trigger and try one out. (And have an improved device that won't melt from them!)

      I always think that too. These games actually do control really well when you get used to them. But you aren't doing anything crazy precise like in Skate. I don't think Android games will ever match that, but they have the benefit of being really convenient. You can play it for a little bit any time you have a spare minute.
