ALEX: "From the perspective of coming in and promoting a product, it's really interesting seeing people get hands-on time with the game for the first time, like, the public, not just you press assholes"
JEFF (slightly off-mic): "Oh, whatever, these 'assholes' already fuckin' love your game, Jesus Christ, fuckin'... yeah, name one person that could possibly be anti-Rock Band at this point. I had to send a guitar back, and I got one back that still didn't work quite right and y'know what? I FUCKIN' LOVE ROCK BAND! And that was before you were there, those guys did their job, you came in afterwards, it was already fuckin' easy"
Maybe this is just because I'm still in the The Beginner's Guide afterglow, but... was this game supposed to be this bad? It's like they took all the parts of what makes a Tony Hawk game awesome and intentionally did none of it.
Like, if you view THPS5 as a work of art in what not to do in game design, it's fucking incredible.
I cried at the end of Chapter 14, and my gag reflex started triggering involuntarily. Not because of any particular visuals or anything. Because this game was talking about me.
It's probably not for everyone, but man... I want to meet Davey. I want to thank him in person for this game. I've legitimately learned a lot about myself from playing it.
