You're halfway right, halfway wrong.Originally Posted by MarcoPoloUSN
Actually its not that hard to combo, but the balance meter is really the worst of any TH game. It sometimes makes you bail whereas its still indicating that your manual balance is not fucked up yet.
I'm a HUGE THPSer, I won't do a review of this game, but I'd say its a good game for its price. The main problem is that its supposed to be "arcade huge fun" and that it ended up that its just "arcade and a bit fun". What I mean => The gameplay is cool, but its LESS enjoyable than even the 1st TH episode, cause of that balance meter issue and cause of wallrides (they are way harder to get, which always makes me angry. Losing a combo for such a reason aint no fun).
Just my opinion, but if doing a remake was a great idea, coming back to the THPS1 and 2 gameplay wasn't. Reverts and abilities like going off your board were improvements, it wasnt what killed the TH serie.
Look at me doing a total improvisation of TH American Wasteland:
THPS HD => killed the fun I could have.
The online got killed too compared to THP3/4,THUG1,THUG2,THAW: No lobby system, 4 players max (8 before), and when the timer reaches the zero, you can't watch others continue their combo (or be watched by others if its you). Watching others show off was nice, be seen too. Even if its not your opinion, you can't say that what's happening in THPS HD ( => after 0, your see your character "freezing" in nose manual stance, and you wait...2, 5, 10, 30 seconds...) is better.
THPS HD => killed the fun I could have (bis).
As a result, I like it as a skateboarding game, fun to play, nice music etc... but we're in 2012, and i don't understand why they wanted to do a remake without putting all the improvements in.
A THPS3 DLC with reverts available is nice...but they won't work in non-DLC levels...
I won on a scratcher so I picked up THPSHD.
There are just too many bad choices that were made here.
No splitscreen anything?
I just 100% the game with Andrew Reynolds. I can only play all the levels with Andrew. If I want to play Marseille with Nyjah, I have to play all the way through the game again. Bad choice.
Seriously?
This really could have been an amazing arcade title with just a few little changes.
The nostalgia doesn't hold up very long and when it runs out, you can't even play the character you want on the level you want.
Maybe they can address some of these problems with the DLC or a patch or something.

Lol noodle I used to play online on East LA all the time. My record is like 273millions or sumthin like that. Still can do all those buttslaps, neuroplants, vertical np's, vsws and shit.
I wasn't very good at prov tho. I just knew the lines for each map, and then maybe I changed them a lil bit.
I literally did the same thing, all with Reynolds as well. Was pretty pissed about how you can't freeskate any level with any character after you beat all the levels with one.
And another stupid thing is after I beat all the challenges, and maxed out my stats, I wanted to just freeskate, went to lower my stats so I don't ollie 10 feet high and you can't edit them once you've set them all the way up, was pretty pissed at that.
It seems like the base idea is there, but theres a lot they forgot to think about with this game. Hopefully theres an update where they make it so if you unlock levels with a character you can freeskate in those levels with any character, I really don't feel like doing all the challenges 2,3,4...etc. times over.
Also, has anyone done all the projectives with a character yet? Any unlocks?
hearing more bad than good about this game...think i'll use my $15 for a dime bag and a tall boy
Noodlezer couldn't have summed it up any better.
I don't regret buying the game one bit, still going to play it from time to time.
Robomodo just has a lot to learn and improve on, if they expand it further.

Well, actually, this game is just "not what it could easily have been", but I wouldn't recommend not to buy it, cause it's still a nice game! For $15, which good game do you have? Trials HD/evolution, and...? Not a lot.
If you enjoy skateboarding (and you're here, so you do), you'll have more fun playing this $15 game than a lot (most?) of $50/70 games.
Let's say that for us its a good alternative to Skate3, like when nobody's online and you have no inspiration at all for tricks or filming
I just 100% the game again this morning with Rodney Mullen. Took about 2 hours.
Hopefully Robomodo will listen to the consumer and fix some of these small, non-gameplay problems.
This game has such incredible potential.
