    after making your point of HOW youd like to play the game...

    theres a whole other factor as to..
    what i want to show off...
    or..
    how i want to be represented...

    im sure everyone here gets interesting tricks all the time..
    to film and showcase them is a whole other story...

    some kids just wanna jam out with awesome lines...
    some have mini bonks and wallies..
    some are all handrails...
    thats the nature of skateing...

    nobody is bitching about anything..
    slam jerr sg don everyone..
    has grown up with skateboarding in a different way..

    i only agree with jerry bear because i like to watch those videos...
    and i like to perform the tricks in the game...
    to me..
    its just not something i want to film and showcase...


    and if i did..
    those in that genre might consider it insulting to try to reign on there territory...

    niggas get mad butthurt in fake skate...

    If you don't like this thread
    don't bother commenting.
    Don't be a hypocrit by bitching here...

    @Signguy
    I think what Demz said earlier applies here (about breaking the engine).

    It's not that I wanna find another hole in the system, but I do miss that mentality. When some people can't accomplish something in PC, they tend to turn to CAP.
    Not saying that's a bad thing, it just disappoints me video-wise.

    It's like, when I look for a certain spot IRL (Yes I actually skate IRL), I'll keep looking because I have no choice - then again I'm not very talented on a board so the spots I look for tend to be rather plain and easy to find - I still wish more people thought that way in S3.

    Like when I landed my second fs bigspin and I wanted to find a hip-ish spot / transfer to do that trick on, I settled with this:


    Shame I lost every little trick I've ever learned and only land em 1/50

    yeah I totally get all of your gripes, I'm not upset or anything, just wanting to understand where you guys are coming from, which surprisingly seems the majority. And as stupid as it sounds I have always (whether right or wrong) tried to stick up for the game because I know I will miss it and everything that comes with it when it is gone.

    theres a few tricks i wanted this past week..
    just for the sake of being able to do them..
    pc refused to let me do them..
    onanything..
    wasted too many hours on attempts...

    went to cap..
    did everything i wanted in a nice 4 hour session..
    deleted the park.....

    yeah its cheating...
    but at least im not stuck in pc for another 2 weeks trying to find that one spot that lets me do this the way i want...

    and on a side note...
    most cap vids are pretty cut and dry...
    mine included...
    everyone builds spots but the mindset is still pretty ledge/rail/gap traditional...

    Haha you know what guys I like debating on stuff like this its a good time
    so I see the situation we have in the following way:
    1. As someone said earlier(can't look back to see who cause im on phone) cap is another "outlet" for creativity. This statement is not really logically deniable due to the nature of cap itself. It is a creative tool...to put it metaphorically cap is like a canvas and painting equipment. It is used to create and is therefore a creative outlet. We input creativity, skill, and action into cap...the game processes our input and manifest it into a tangible thing, a piece of art in many cases.
    2. Cap building, skating, and filming is a different but connected creative outlet to filming and skating in PC.
    3. Here at fluckit we have mostly similar goals. We try to make this game like real skateboarding. That means tricks, filming, etc. And we can achieve these goals through both PC and CAP. Due to the small population that still plays this game the introduction of a thing like cap to the community has resulted in a shift...a paradigm shift! By this I mean people now film videos in both pc and cap and for different reasons. Naturally some people have developed preferences/biases towards one outlet over another because they arguably have different things to offer...and as a result you see the effect clearly in our videos because of our size. So from the perspective of Jerr, creativity has been killed because he prefers looking for spots in pc and trying to make old spots look new and skate things differently than everyone else. He doesn't see this type of creativity as often and that is what he prefers...so as a whole he sees a decline in creativity. But from the perspective of someone like me, who enjoys building and filming at caps, there seems to be increasing levels of creativity and skill appearing. Creativity by definition is not declining it just has different types and outlets. One outlet may become more popular than another but the outlet itself is still there so creativity of that type can still be produced. I like turtles
