Skate 2 Impressions

Re: Skate 2 Impressions

It's up in the UK PSN store. I really hope no one buys this stuff that was all included in the first game. I'm sure as hell not buying it and considering that it was in the first game the price is rediculous on top of that ($7.50!). Did they not have enough room on the disc or something? Could've at least included it on PS3 and then a free DL on 360 if that was the case.

The only frustrations I've seriously had so far was with the handplant on the rail above challenge and Lucas's Translation. Some other minor ones along the way like being interefered with during contests and whatever I said before. I finished the rail above one eventually,Brown kept running into me any time I got any speed up then the times I finally got high enough nothing would happen or a grind would be attempted on the rail. As it turns out you're not supposed to get up there without an ollie and then they'll grab it. Didn't finish the translation thing.

That basketball backboard one sure was easy for all the complaints I've seen about it. Maybe they don't know you can go up that hill to the tunnel opening and get speed there.

Agree that its a rip off, but if you're into video sharing its kind of a must buy since they crippled the cameras in the retail version. Sucks for people like me who are curious and have decent editing software at home and at work but probably won't use it much after one or two videos.

That's exactly my point and why I hope no one buys it.

We're on the same page, but there's such a huge community of skate video editors that hoping it fails is a lost cause.

Can you guys put some stuff in spoiler tags? I didn't wanna know Big Black was in the game!

My bad. I thought it was common knowledge. I appologize. I will edit my post above just in case.

Um, FYI it says specifically in the instruction book under "Cell Phone" telling you to call Big Black for security, so not sure I'd call that a spoiler...

He's also in the opening trailer of the game when you turn it on.

Re: Skate 2 Impressions

I couldn't find another post on here regarding this but I've been getting really frustrated doing online freeskate activities. For example, I do a group score accumulation event, the goal is 20,000 points, I end up getting 8-9,000 while the other 3 guys I'm playing with get like 1,000 points and we can't complete it.

Basically, I'd like to know if there's any other PS3 guys out there who are having similar problems and want to knock out these challenges together. My PSN ID is djwirth2 so feel free to add me, I play pretty much every night. Every other game I've played online with fellow OS'ers I've had a good experience with so I figured this could work out the same. Even if you're not into the freeskate activities, it would be nice to play with some other good sim type skaters.

I'm away from my console right now, but if you add me, I'll probably be able to help tonight or tomorrow, or whenever. I have nothing to do until Wednesday and have been trying to knock out all of the career challenges. I haven't gotten to the online stuff, but I hate playing against randoms.

PSN ID is Shinyhubcaps. There are many trophies for online play...

Re: Skate 2 Impressions

I really hope my console gets back soon. It got to MS today, and they fixed it, so I'm hoping tomorrow it ships back out and I can get it by Monday.

I really want to pick this up. I passed on the first Skate game, but this one is looking pretty awesome.

Forgot about those. Guess the game spoils it for you.

I edited the post anyways in case someone skips the opening and doesn't read the instruction book.

Re: Skate 2 Impressions

I wouldn't worry about it. Commercials, videos, screenshots, and even the intro/instruction book talks about Big Black. I noted it in the review, too, so I'm not sure what kind of a spoiler it is. I never even thought of something like that being a spoiler, honestly.

I don't even know who Big Black is lol

Finally got the handplant on the backboard...that was annoying with the ramp setup, not the most fun of the difficult challenges....

He was in the first one as well...

He wasn't on the official roster, though. Other names have been added and subtracted so you know where they stand, but he wasn't on either roster.
