So weird to see a Jackbox game that doesn't include YDKJ. I loved last years game but Fly Swatter and Word Spud were easily ignored over Fibbage and Drawful.
Man, some racist ass shit. Japanese team get some cool greaser looking dudes and the English team get a skinny, sickly yellow looking skeleton thing and a pink Frakenstein.
As someone who lives in London, this just looks accurate to me.
I think I'm going to wait on this one. It feels like it was rushed out to market and has a lot of oversights and missing features from the previous games. The downloading songs situation right now is especially fucked.
Why are people so willing to let this slide? It's microtransactions in a full retail product that if you bought the game day one, you're paying twice for what people are paying now and had a worse time for it. I don't understand the argument that this will fund new quests and the like. This game sold over 6 million copies in its first month and has probably sold many more copies since then. Bungie/Activision have more than enough money in the bank, they don't need the funding but they know people are willing to give it to them.
I can't even believe anyone thought this would be any good. It was being developed by Robomodo, a developer who had 3 shots at producing a good THPS game and they failed every single time. When I saw the footage of this game, I thought it was another downloadable title similar to that of THPS HD but Activision had the audacity to charge full retail price for this POS.
Just looking at the video above never really gave me the sense that this was the next generation of skateboarding games. I moved on from THPS years ago and the last entry I really put any time into was THUG. I owned Project 8 but it just didn't feel as tight in the gameplay as previous entries despite the leap in technology. I guess in some ways it's great that it's 2015 and we actually have a skateboarding game coming out but it's also 2015 and this was probably the last chance the genre had at least for awhile. Imagine if this had come out, been awesome and sold millions of copies like it used to. That could've been enough for EA to produce another SKATE sequel and may have even brought on some competition like there was in the 90s.
I know that the GB crew don't want an Uncharted 4 or have at least been against the idea previous to this years E3 showing but after 3, I felt the series needed it. 3 was an ok game but it aped too much of what worked well in 2 and didn't address what was wrong. The set pieces in 2 felt unique each time but to me, the ones in 3 didn't seem grander or even on the same level and it repeated many different times but just put a different skin on top.
