It was actually pretty great but it just happened to release during your angsty teenage phase where everything felt samey and boring to you.
People criticize the adventure game elements introduced in THUG but it was the best thing they've done in the series
If THUG and/or THUG 2 had THAW's gameplay, then they would be the best in the series. THAW sans gameplay is very mediocre. Also reTHAWED is tranny shit so don't bring it up.
>>737578318The story sucks, the characters are ultra cringy INCLUDING THE FUCKING PROTAGONISTYou start the game with a very limited movesetThe missions are a drag and boring most of the timeThe last missions are AWFUL, buggy as fuckThe whole skate ranch shit feels unrewardingNaw man, THAW is one of the worst Tony Hawk games
>>737578318It just feels off after coming from the THUG games.
>>737578318I wasn't a teenager yet when this came out and I loved it. Not as good as THUG 1 thoughever
i liked the main quest vibe of these games, thaw thug thug2
>>737578318This game ruled dude. I loved collecting pieces of the world and putting it in your park. Fuck I wish I still had friends.
>>737578318Series went Downhill after this one.
>>737578318I used to like the Tony Hawk games but then Skate came out and I realized what we all had been deprived of this entire time. They're both going for different things (TH is meant to be more arcadey) but pulling off tricks felt so satisfying in the Skate series and the feeling of momentum as you pick up speed is addicting.
>>737579195Skate sucks because I suck.
>>737578318>It was actually pretty greatit was notfuck you
>>737579125built like a fridge with the freezer door open
>>737578318I never bothered finishing the story and played arcade mode instead. I remember loving the apocalyptic level, it was neat. Still it's probably my least favorite game in the series:THUG2 > THUG > THPS 3 > THPS 4 > THPS 2 > THAW > THPS (this one gives me vertigo).
>>737579125>voice acted by that one chick that voiced every rebellious chick everWas kino
>>737578318No, it was good but it wasn't as good as earlier THPS games.
