What made it so much better than the Tony Hawk games?

>>718217576 (OP)
but they weren't

Focus on grounded skating. I could see myself pulling Skate 2 tricks but not Tony Hawk air jumping glitches where I can escape the skybox and still keep a combo going.

It actually felt like skating, I got so much satisfaction in skate from just being able to session a ledge or set of stairs for like 30 minutes and even simple tricks could be hard, playing SKATE where you had to try and pop a nollie varial heel over a mailbox or something was actually kinda hard there was some pressure it was really good for just replicating the actual feel of skating.

being a skateboarding game instead of combo platformer

Will never understand retards who compare Skate and THPS. It's like comparing Need For Speed and Assetto Corsa.

I dunno. what made DooM a better game than Doki Doki Literature Club?

Exactly this. Skate made you feel like you were actually trying to land tricks, not just mashing buttons to extend a 3-minute combo across rooftops while grinding telephone wires. Tony Hawk was basically a rhythm game with skate vibes. Fun as hell, but completely detached from how skating feels. Skate had that low-key soul of watching old VX1000 footage and just hanging at a spot with friends. You pop a kickflip crook on a bench and you're stoked for the whole day.

actually being about skateboarding to some degree
