Tested Skater XL and Session few months ago. At the time session felt better and I stuck with it.
Now seems Skater XL has received fund injection and is leaping ahead in volume of content and updates.
Now I feel like a loser.

Just a heads up if you're on PC, this weekend is your last chance to get the game on Steam for only $20 before the price is increased to $40 once the new update drops on the 28th of this month.

I’m guessing this guy got it early and is showing off the customization and products.

I don't have a PC so the only way I'm going to get this is if the console version lets you adjust the physics. The standard pop/gravity looks way too floaty.

Grabbed it today and it’s pretty cool only played for half hour but have day off and no kids tomorrow.

Controls are good but a head fuck ifyou are used to playing skate.

It looks good but i like the game play of session much much more. in skater xl the board is pretty much glued to your feet unrealistically when you should fall and i can't stand it. It's also pretty easy and not as rewarding as landing tricks in session.

I've always been a game play over graphics type guy though.

I don’t know. I have never played session , or skater xl till today and I am seriously sucking at grinds.

It’s way more in depth than skate.

I haven't felt like this since Skate 2 launched, fucking love the game. If they ever make online available with friends i might just stop real skateboarding to just play this.

wtf is this shit? It is 8am pst and I cant buy the game (it only show gift buy)

Steam tells me that I already own this game and that I cant buy it. I have the BETA! Do I have to delete the BETA or what?

Sorry, I am new to all this steam-stuff. I come from a time, where you just go into a store and buy a game.

Kind of, although I only played for about 40 minutes on my lunch break. It is incredibly fun to try to remember that it isnt Skate and instead a totally different set of controls.

The one thing that is annoying is every time you fall you are placed back to wherever your session marker is.

What was kicking my ass at first was that you don’t have to flick the right stick up (regular foot) to do an Ollie. You just hold the stick down and let go and it will do an Ollie.

I never realized that I pulled the stick down slightly off center until this game.  I was doing wild shuvs more than ollies until I consciously adjusted the way I pulled back on the right stick. Its also kind of tough that even when skating switch you have to point the left stick up, instead of back as if you were skating regular.  I had a really tough time figuring out grinds. I cant wait to get back to it.

This game is quite fun so far. Hard as fuck but I like the challenge, reminds me of when Skate first came out. Looks pretty floaty but doesnt feel as floaty while playing. 360 spins look awkward as hell right now.

Soundtrack has a good amount songs from classic skate parts, got me feeling nostalgic. Love the 411vm gear too.

Just picked up a copy from best buy. Can't wait to try it out. This is the first game I've bought since the last red dead came out.
Because you can't kill and idea, and we will not be ruled!

the visuals are also mad visual yo

I've had a better understanding of what is happening around me while smoking Salvia as a passenger in a moving vehicle than reading your post

Does this concept pretty much force you to always pop out of noseslides and crooks?
