My thoughts on tony hawk 5

Who am I to talk, well I'm the kid who fucking played every tony hawk ever, witnessed tony hawk kick ass at the xgames... Goddamn you don't know what you got till it's gone. But yeah being a kid watching this man do his thing, life was too good.

And they're making another one. Never played the Tony Hawk wannabe Skate, so I don't know what I missed. I mean yeah I went to the mall and did play some of it. Too much bullshit for my tastes. I mean all the little shit you got to figure out to make that game work, maybe it's awesome but it's too much work to figure that shit out. Like it's a real skateboarding simulator, not a game at all.

When I play a game, I just want to play a game, not experience the real thing, please.

So apparently that's the idea behind Tony Hawk 5, no more fancy new bullshit, it's a complete return to the classic format from the original games.

I think that'll work out beautifully. I can hang with tony hawk classic all day, son. I swear to GOD. That game was the most amazing game I've ever seen back then. Every game is about going from point a to point b, pretty much and avoiding obstacles. Never was there a game that was just like a mini-amusement park ride, which was what was new and different about Tony Hawk. It was about mastering the skateboard and learning tricks and yeah like a mini racing/fighting game. Or a beat em up game to some extent only with the racing game mechanics. Anyway Tony Hawk 1 and 2 were amazing games. I know they did all kinds of new shit but I'm too used to just playing the game normally, all this new shit where there were trying to some how rip off GTA or create a story for tony hawk, nah, not my cup of tea nigga.
