MrSmartGuy 01/28/21 6:14:09 PM #294:	EXXXXTREEEEEME BLOCK (cont.) #38 - Skate 3 (PS3, 2010) I really like the entire Skate series, but its 3 that stands out to me above all the rest. I played most of it before I even knew it was a completely broken mess, and I still had a wonderful time. The controls are great. Your left thumbstick controls the direction you want to go, while you use the right thumbstick to mimic what you want the board to do. If you hold down, you will crouch, and then you flip up, you will ollie. Flip up and to the right or left, and you will do a kickflip. Land on a rail while holding up and you will do a noseslide, while holding down will do a tailslide. If you hold a trigger, you will grab the board with your hand. It all feels incredibly intuitive in the first place, and the more you play, the more you will feel like you can do some crazy shit. However, because of this control scheme, you arent just going around comboing from rail to rail like a Tony Hawk Pro Skater madman. Skate is much more grounded in reality, at least in terms of the tricks you are able to pull off, and despite what that screenshot I chose to include would indicate. Your typical combo in Tony Hawk might be 20 tricks long. Your typical combo in Skate is a pop shove-it into a grind of a rail until you fall off the end. Something you would see in a real skate montage. HOWEVER. That does not mean that Skate 3 itself is grounded in reality. Oh no no no, far from it. One of its main modes is called Hall of Meat, where you purposefully bail and try to direct your skater into as much harm as possible, breaking as many bones and getting as many bruises as you can. Not gonna mince words here, this is easily my favorite mode. But wait, theres more! Thanks to some trailblazers like HelixSnake (pictured above), players have found out that the code behind the scenes of Skate 3 is. shaky at best. As a result, there are some fabulous and insane things you can pull off, just by a few presses of a button. Here is Helix making his character completely implode several times: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpdvELrfFsU Here he is, after he figured out that plywood can make you fly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0Vncc0B6TU Long story short, Skate 3 is a wonderful and beautiful mess, and I love everything about it. --- Xbox GT/PSN name/Nintendo ID: TatteredUniform http://www.scuffletown.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/tRBE1.gif <cite>MrSmartGuy posted [p:950029166] in The Board ...
