Re: Skate 3 Review

I think you're good to buy it used. It came out before that Online Pass business, so I think you can just save yourself a couple bucks.

Thanks Witn..er D-man I'll check it out used then. I loved skate 1 and 2 with a fever! Lookin forward to this one now.

Re: Skate 3 Review

I'd have to agree with whoever said Skate1 > Skate 2 > Skate 3.

This is truly a shame.

But, after buying Skate 2 over the weekend for 20 bucks, and having to deal with the god awful frame rate issues for the PS3 version (seems worse than the first skate) it seems that equation is truth.

This series has so much potential. I don't see why they can't makes this run in a smooth fashion. No excuse for it.

Re: Skate 3 Review

Skate 3 retail isn't smooth either?

The first Skate has a constant framerate, but at 30 FPS I don't know if I am satisfied with the sacrifice that's made for it.

Gamespot said there were F.R.I. in Skate 3. So sad. I would rather have 20 FPS than the issues that are in Skate 2.

Re: Skate 3 Review

skate 3 is mad fun guys.

Gotta agree with this. I wasn't too keen on it when it first came out, but have gotten back into playing it and think it's a near masterpiece.

I'm playing it on the 360 and don't see any frame rate issues. I've also looked into the park creator a bit more and now realize just how cool of a feature it is, something I didn't see before because I didn't spend much time with it.

I think mainly it's just the bitterness I had towards Skate 2 is finally gone, because I can now say Skate 3 is a flat out great game.

Re: Skate 3 Review

The only real framerate issues I get are in skate parks (it gets hit badly), but that's on PS3.

Skate 3 is awesome, and I finally have some free time to play it.

Re: Skate 3 Review

I don't think I've played this since I beat it after launch. Wow. I still have it, I might throw it in now. Maybe start it over. Damn this thread for giving me the itch.

It doesn't help that I'm now looking for a game to play, since I bought Fallout: New Vegas and then discovered that RPG games really aren't for me.

I ended up playing it for 6 and a half consecutive hours that day until like 6 in the morning.

Good man.

When I get out of this school work funk, I'll be popping this in faster than you can say "Saskatchewan."

Re: Skate 3 Review

Super late to the Skate party, but picked this up yesterday for $10 (20-10 off). I've been meaning to try a Skate game since the first one came out and am FINALLY getting around to it. What a great game. I'm liking it a lot more than the TH series. I might not have thought that back when I was enjoying the hell out of those early TH games, but now, this is right up my alley. TH series got extremely stale, and I didn't even play the last couple versions. I could only take so much x45-multiplier circus tricks before it lost its luster.

What I can't get over is how amazing the soundtrack is. There is not a song that I would ever skip on there. Very impressive.

I only got a couple hours in last night, but I love that it's actually hard to pull tricks off. When you land a trick, you feel like you actually did something. Steep learning curve, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm sure this has all been said before, but thought I'd bump this up in case there was someone else out there who hasn't tried these out. It's well worth the $20.

Re: Skate 3 Review

This game is a blast. It didn't improve on some things I wish it had, and it removed some things that the first two did well, but it's still the best skateboarding game out there to date. I still haven't tried this puppy online yet.

Once I get my game up to snuff, I'll give it a try. I'll add you on PSN later.
