Game Informer seriously not impressed with Tony Hawk RIDE
Game Informer’s published a list of quotes uttered by a man in the Game Informer offices while testing Tony Hawk RIDE. The game’s out in the US today. If you’re a Tony fan, you might want to look away now:
- “Wait, that’s not… d*** it. Seriously? I didn’t even do that trick!”
- “Oh god! A bunch of people just died! Whooo, SKATEBOARDING!”
- “Ugh. This board is just horsecrap. (sigh) Horsecrap.”
- “Wait, what? Was that a joke? lol skateboarding, I guess.”
- “What is taking so long? How long does it take to load a bad game?”
- “I go Super Saiyan. My hair turns blonde, but my beard doesn’t”
- “I don’t know how they expect people to do this s***.”
- “Last time I did that exact same motion, I did, like, a quadruple kickflip.”
- “You will have no idea what you are doing. I promise.”
- “And…I landed in the dumpster. That’s, uh, that’s called the triple-kickflip-dumpster.”
Apparently, these “seem pretty representative of the experience as a whole.” Their words. Not ours.
It’s out in Europe this week. Thanks, GoNintendo.

‘This game has been set up to fail.’

Well it could actually be good if you could use an actual controller and not some shitty board

Such amusing wisecracks. I bet the onlookers had aching sides at the end of the day.

Oh, so there is a reason I know next to nothing about this game. Asking for a ton a money on a product like this with next to no marketing on how it all works is just stupid.

Looks like Activision aren’t too keen on people reviewing it either.
That must mean it’s great!

Its got “Tony Hawk” in the title Hunam. Thats all some people need to know. I bet Pat’s pre-ordered 10 copies.

I can’t believe I didn’t think of that, in fact I know why I didn’t think of that. Reason being I was thinking of proper swear words!

Keep your gimmicks. Or make em optional. Learn or fail.
