So they couldn't do what they done almost 20 years ago and somehow they've gone backwards?

Someone can make a gif if they want lol, this is just the tutorial too.

Actually laughed out loud here at work. Oh man....

 

[BroBot]

uh, "Day 1 patch not included" ?
If it was included, it wouldn't be a patch.

I think you meant:
"Working game not included"

Actually, that's day 1, patch included.

I meant it wasn't included on the disc, but I can see I should have worded it better. So I fixed it. Thanks guys.

At least the song lyrics match up "It's a rental..".

 

[Head.spawn]

I thought for sure they'd at least ship a functioning piece of shit.

Nope.

 

[a.wd]

Is it...is it bad that I want to play this more now?

 

[entremet]

How can companies do this? Aren't they aware of reputation?

 

[SJRB]

Lirik JUST started streaming this on Twitch, he has no idea about the glitches haha.

He's the only one streaming it too.

Gamers don't give a shit about reputation.

Assassin's Creed will sell the same this year as it does every year, for example. Publishers can do basically whatever they want and people will lap that shit up

 

[Gentleman Jack]

How can companies do this? Aren't they aware of reputation?

If they weren't sensitive to their reputation they would have sent out review copies.

This is a calculation that people will forget to return the games, or buy them as gifts, etc.

 

[Cybernetic Empire]

That video made me laugh so hard it makes me want the game more.

But for a lot cheaper than they probably want.



I really want someone to post clips similar to Eurogamer's video, but with Superman in slow-mo. Lol.

Quick N Dirty. Mute Eurogamer video and turn down superman video to .5 speed. Enjoy.

If it makes money, I doubt Activision cares about reputation.

It's the devs who will take the hit. Acti will probably send them off to the Call of Duty map pack gulag like everyone else.

 

[Kenstar]

They need to just embrace their shittyness and market it to the streamer let's play crowd that eats this shit up

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

lolol

Lmao

Why is this bad news?

 

[Psyrgery ES]

I thought for sure they'd at least ship a functioning piece of shit.

Nope.

Well it's tecnically a piece of shit when you buy it.

It becomes a full shit after the patch.

[kiguel182]

Just as predicted.

I'm hoping for an amazing QuickLook.

 

[Dominator]

At least the song lyrics match up "It's a rental..".

I'm just now realizing how perfect that rental line is at that moment. Priceless.

 

[SFenton]

Good god reading this thread makes me:

A) Sad, because I loved the old Hawk games
B) Happy that at least for the *other* franchise Acti is reviving this year (Guitar Hero), they gave it to a goddamn respectable/great dev (FreeStyle).

Dying of laugh, this game is just a complete mess!

 

[Sleight of Jam]

Tony Hawk is a professional skateboarder, with everything going for him, but he's about to become.... A wall.

From the creators of Tum Ta Tittaly Tum Ta Too, Tony Hawk is about to find out, that being a wall is harder than it looks.

 

[Ferrio]

30k people watching Lirik play this lol.

He is about to become the next Han Solo.

Even a pro skater can slip sometimes. Duh.

"It's Alright, It's a Rental."

 

[taybul]

I have Ace of Spades playing in my head while looking at these gifs. Really adds to the experience.

That's a beautiful avatar.

Wow, Death is on the soundtrack.

 

[IAmRandom31]

So they couldn't do what they done almost 20 years ago and somehow they've gone backwards?

Sounds like they put a shit team together, rushed it out unfinished and buggy and basically want it to kill off the franchise and genre.

Activision probably got tired of requests and put this out there for those requests so they can go " see! Told ya this type of game is dead look at these review scores, reception and sales! "

 

[PROJECTZERO]

 

[gossi]

Dying of laugh, this game is just a complete mess!

Surprise: this is actually Half Life 3.

 

[Dredd97]

LOL Please tell me this isn't THPS5 because that looks PS2.

look on the brightside, he got a totally rad killer combo for it!...

 

[Liquidsnake]

Quicksilver unloaded TH, because they had financial problems, and really didn't care about the brand anymore.

Activation obviously doesn't care.

What a sad fall.

 

[AdanVC]

Dying of laugh, this game is just a complete mess!

[Garlador]

I am already more entertained by this game than I have by anything Tony Hawk has put his name on in the past 10 years.

It's like they looked at Goat Simulator for inspiration.

 

[Nightbird]

Dying of laugh, this game is just a complete mess!

Help, i'm dying of laughter!

 

[ChuChuRocket]

Its like the goat Simulator. Just grind it

 

[notworksafe]

Redboxed it and got some nearbeer for a stream tonight. One way or another this should be fun.

 

[OldSkoolFool]

"What is it... when it ain't exactly water... and it ain't exactly sand....???"

 

[super-famicom]

Just as predicted.

I'm hoping for an amazing QuickLook.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Trace]

Lirik just shit on this game so hard.

He's trying to refund it now.

 

[Shauni]

EDIT: Nevermind, totally misread that post

 

[TheSlySoul]

Lirik just shit on this game so hard.

Not unexpected.
I will try to spend around 4-5 hours tonight on it.
Here will be the playlist I post all my recordings on: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa3jfK4wo3ZOdouyW6X_2gArGj1kYruhb

Edit: Watch it or don't, I do not care. Just putting it out.

 

[Radec]

How the fuck they released a game like this and still charge full price is beyond me.

Holy shit.

 

[OverdriveOtaku]

The ragdolls are my favorite thing about this game.

Looks like some Loony Toons sound effects would make this infinitely better. Still, gonna be entertaining to watch vids of this.

 

[eso76]

Is it...is it bad that I want to play this more now?

No kidding.
In terms of pure unadulterated fun, this is probably the best title in years.

However, I think I'll stick to watching YouTube videos.
