Learned this the hard way when I opted in to help run the player facing public betas for fall guys from the playtest side. Grateful I did it or else I would not be in my current role but holy moly I was not prepared for how every word would be scrutinized or misconstrued

Haha, I feel that, I don't mind it generally for the subreddits that are just videos but understand

discord.gg/zQ8kn9vhZ I enjoy this one the most as the overall skill level is a bit closer to beginner than pro

But this is the biggest and most active for 30y/o+

Hell yeah!

Not sure if it's your bag but there's a pretty decent community for oldskaters on Discord/Reddit, generally just a cool mix of posts from former very good skaters getting back into it or very new folks starting for the first time
Tony Hawk just posts there too which is neat

Yup, for sure! thankful for my helmet/pads gear

I will admit an odd part of me does kind of like the adrenaline from falling and getting back up to try it again? Idk, it feels really good to be able to improve on things every session, very mad I never started when I was younger

Youch! Slip outs from under are the worst and scariest thing, I've been trying to be extra careful with not leaning back at all since I took this fairly hard slam last time - afaict theres basically never a good time to lean back so if you have to bail then bailing forwards is definitely better

I started this year for the first time at 30, it's been sick

We've found our "don't fall in love with a loan" for this season I see

He does his best

Micolash feels like a bit of a DeS boss to me, it definitely is still a bit standard 1on1-y in parts but you spend a lot of that fight just trying to run after the dude

Wish they would do more interesting gimmicks like that

Maybe I just accept that's not profitable and rely on games like Session and SkateXL to give that feeling

I think there's space for crazy ridiculous tricks and set pieces - the fantasy of being able to skate the things you could never do in real life - but I feel like that should be the territory of Tony Hawk games and Skate should show the pain/struggle of what skating really is like (fucking hard)
September 20, 2025 at 12:11 PM
I don't think it would be as egregious if everything else was up to par but it definitely doesn't help. I really wish I wasn't so negative on it but so many of the decisions feel like they have come from 'above' 😅

The overall vibe is very corporate, sanitised or "how do you do fellow kids" - feels antithetical to what the game stood for

It's live service so they can turn around the mission variety on offer but the vibe and level design feel so ingrained to the experience that I don't imagine that will 😔

also I hate that I have to call it skate 1 now because skate 1 was "skate." and now this is "skate." and games should stop doing that, why do they all do that
