...All I can do is simply sigh and say what the fuck has happened to gaming. I knew the magnetic rails would kill this game and my interest for it.

The video you have requested is not available.

If you have recently uploaded this video, you may need to wait a few minutes for the video to process.

Technically, you can play every game without touching the controller. It's just a question of how good you want to play.

Well that's odd. I just viewed it fine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=l0bTUBuimwc

Exactly. Just because you can finish a run without touching the controller doesn't mean you'll do very well. SSX is about getting the best times and scores. People who care about that sort of thing (ie most people who are going to play SSX) won't care about this, myself included.

EDIT: Just watched the video. My point still stands. This is like getting mad about being able to beat the easiest AI in Soul Calibur by button mashing.

Yes, because SSX was always about trying to reach the bottom of the slope as slowly as possible.

Honestly, getting upset that you could theoretically get a 160k point trick out of an entire run where you should be racking up millions without touching the controller is kinda petty.

Also, saying you can play SSX without touching the controller is like saying you can play any pinball table without hitting the flippers. It's fucking stupid.

You can complete the game of life without moving too.

Doesn't mean it's the best alternative.

I can't be the only one who thinks this is awesome, right? 
I really don't see what's so horrible about this...

isn't this just logical I mean combine gravity and level design that has boundaries on the side of the track and no place to get stuck and this is what's going to happen. I would challenge people to try this on some of the crazier maps. So no, you're wrong.

Impressive how they managed to navigate the menus and start the game without touching the controller...oh wait.

Fucking childish. You're not playing the game, the game is just on.

augh you can play the old Tony Hawk games without touching the controller, too. remember how much of a disaster Tony Hawk 1-4 were? the only problem is that you have to use the controller to navigate the menus too. that doesn't count as playing, right?

Understanding Danish made that video unbearable, jesus christ.

Video Games that play for you. How sad.

The next step is PSN homeschooling.

Sweet, now my dream of winning 3rd place can be achieved without any work. Finally!

Oh for fuck's sake. It's called gravity.

@ZimboDK: What were they saying?

I can lose races and get very low scores in almost any game without touching the controller.

Someone lock this stupid fucking thread.

Okay, but how do you win races or get points like that.

That is a bad example and you should be ashamed.

Alright, in before the lock then. This would not have worked on SSX Tricky. There. I said it, come at me bros.

You do know that in a snowboard game, you are on a downward slope... so you are going to reach the bottom eventually regardless.

This. You're a moron, OP.

Also, as somebody who's played plenty of SSX before, rails have always been slightly magnetic. So this thread is completely pointless.

Hurr, the game's about getting high scores, you can't get high scores like that!

Seriously, this video was just poking fun at how the game slightly guides you. Get over yourselves you pretentious jerks.

And that's what's killed the SSX series. When are we going to see somebody develop Super Snowboarding GalaXY? IT MUST BE MADE!

With this definition of "play" I can play an acordian without touching it. If I put it on a steep hill and push it down, it might even make a noise or two on it's way, and I'll be the greatest acordian player who ever lived.

Anyone care to book a venue for me?

So you're on a mountain. And you're going down, because gravity(I mean, do they want a button just to GO DOWN!?). And the game slightly helps you with rails. OH MY GOD! OH MY FUCKING CHRIST! News of the year right here, guys. Seriously, this is changing MY LIFE.

poop thread

All that shows is that gravity works in the game. It is also incredibly irrelevant.

Third place

DAMN YOU SIR ISAAC NEWTOWN!!!

Seems you are just looking for ANY reason to hate this game.

@Hero_Swe: .......the problem with gaming is what you do with it. Yeah you can do it that way, but the point is to earn scores and do tricks and stuff, not get down the slope as slow as possible. Your logic is fucking shitty.

Wait, objects placed on an inclined surface tend to go down? Scientists need to look into this thing.

Of four. On the first course in the entire game. Show me you can progress through the game that way and then this argument would make sense.

So that's what language it was? Man Danish is ugly.

What argument? There is none.

You said how good do you want to play and I replied with third place, because thats what you'd get.

I play this game using a Rock Band guitar.

Well, this thread is going about as well as a hat full of spanners.

I feel other users in this thread have already addressed exactly how silly this criticism of the game is, and seeing as we are now at the point where people have nothing to contribute other than throwing petty insults at the OP (Not cool, by the way) I can't see any reason to keep this open.
