More specifically, it's etiolate telling everyone YET AGAIN that they would share his tastes if only they weren't all mindless slaves to a corporate fanboy mentality. All while saying precious little about the game itself.

Except for my discussion of the track design mistakes and the dev's intent to go anywhere and yet failing at that by filling tracks with invisible holes.

You have some weird obsession with me Mandark.

Himuro: The homogenization of gaming right now sucks. Last gen, there was a moment where the success of certain games bleed into other games, even totally unrelated to them in genre. SSX3 was SSX + GTA + EA trax + custom skaters from Tony Hawk. Jak 2 was action adventure + GTA. All the arcade racers started to bleed into each other. Each game started to lose its unique flavor, and SSX lost what made it work, namely the track design, sound and character of the game. Also at the time, previews were about the same thing you got in the review. It all added up to some major bullshitting about games, and at this point and time, I'd figured it best if people got past it so we don't repeat it.

It's all cuz sports games aren't happy about just being sports games, and action games aren't interested in telling stories, which makes it seem like they are all the same shit.

Imagine if movies were just stylish shots, of whatever. No plot no nothing. Every movie would feel the same.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #22625 on:** February 24, 2009, 09:04:01 PM »

SSX was a great pothead game, SSX Tricky was an even better pothead game, and then SSX3 was this incredible, open and smooth pothead killer app. I'd say the progression was for the best. If I was to level any complaint that darling of a game, it'd be that having to unlock music for personal playlists with in-game currency sucked balls.

Dude. What are you talking about? Games have always been like this.

Genre fusion is a new thing? Uhhh. No. Action rpgs are from the 80's. Action platformers are nothing new. Earthworm Jim 2 had a fucking 2d shooter level. Resident Evil is a blend between traditional adventure game puzzle solving, action, and Metroid-esque large world labyrinth "I have to find out how to get over thur" gameplay. Genre hybridization is nothing new, and in fact, has served as a means to evolve games over the years.

For many games, the GTA formula was just an evolution of the traditional action adventure formula. One huge world. What's wrong with that?

What arcade racers started to blend together? What are you talking about? F-Zero GX is nothing like Burnout, and Burnout is nothing like Outrun 2006, Outrun 2006 is not anywhere similar to Hydro Thunder.

SSX3, despite being influenced by GTA, is still SSX. It's not one long track. If you think that, you haven't even played it. What changes to the track design is there? It's still old SSX. The inclusion of the big map doesn't make it hyper-realistic or anything, it's pure arcade-ish mayhem:

[youtube=560,345]oUGB7D8sNzY[/youtube]

[youtube=560,345]_m2QHtx0wo0[/youtube]

In what way is this similar to GTA at all?

I can see how someone couldn't get into SSX3 because it's not as crazy as SSX Tricky or 1, but your complaints just reek of someone who has never played it. Sorry.

Bildi · « **Reply #22641 on:** February 25, 2009, 07:24:51 AM »

Yeah, I'm sorry etiolate but I think you've gone totally crazy on this one.

SSX3 had everything that makes SSX great - the characters, the voices, the spectacle and elation of landing huge tricks, the noise, the fireworks, the awesome tracks, the insane tricks, and the great trick system. I liked Rahzel, but Atomika was great too, and integral to creating a new feeling for the series - that of an insane spectacle taking place on a mountain. As for the music, well, they allowed you to customise it and I found a handful of songs I liked.

I'm sure you played it, but on the surface I have to agree with Himuro - it sounds like you barely played the game and decided you'd hate it based on what you read before it came out. If you played it, you'd realise the tracks could just have easily been located around the world like in Tricky rather than on the one mountain.

Now if you want to say On Tour ruined the series by removing the character of the game, screwing up the trick system, and providing endless tree-filled tracks, I'd agree.
