....been thinking about it all day and came to the conclusion that this is the only proper way to play skate:The "Proper" way to play Skate...
NAKED!
!!!
LOL @ Gizzler's Picture. Woud be fun all ladies but I really don't want some dudes peice on show while i'm playing xbox.
@ Antwan/Stevie - So true, i'm sure I have some subs who are just heir to hate on my shit. The way I see I see it, if I annoy them to the point they actually sub to me just to hate on me, i've already won :-)
@ Flymike - What everyone else said. Play how you want to play dude, thats the beauty of this game. For me the skate series offers up so many things. I can skate like a pro and do things I could only dream about doing IRL and then film myself doing it, exactly how I want, without being bound by restrictions. I have the ability to make my own graphics, and the wear or ride them or build a famous spots that I will probably never get to skate IRL.
I used to play Tony Hawks, Thrasher S&D and anything else I could find skateboard related, and loved the challange aspect of those games. When skate series started it all changed. I realised it can be whatever I choose to make it. The freeskate aspect of the game soon took ever everything and the ingame "missions" were only a means to an end of unlocking things. The only challange I myself like is to get my video looking a realistic possible. Even though I have been makes videos for about 2 years now and I still see myself as a noob. I can honestly say I will never consider myself complete at this game, as i'm constantly trying new things ingame, from messing with in game animations to trying new camera angles and styles.
All I would say is don't feel you have to skate or film a certain way to just because other do, do what you want to do!
i want to post a long and rediculous paragraph stating my journey into and out of the whole fake-skate (if you read that right yes that means i quit skate..). But the honest truth is play how you want to bro. if you enjoy jumping off a bulding and grinding a few cars then go ahead. i dont think i really "converted" into realistic skating, its just something i tried, got into and basically stuck with and evolved into my own skating. i mean my best trick in skate 1 was a fuckin darkslide so you can kind of see how i thought. but as i progressed i just tried to find ways to stay within the realistic realm and do incredibly difficult stuff, like 50-50 hippy jump manny for example.
so dont think of it as "doin it wrong". its more liek "doin it doggystyle"
IM A BOSS ASS BITCH
