    There are exactly two things skate 3 did better than its predecessor:
    1) pedestrians were less annoying than in skate 2
    2) darkslides

    And that's pretty much it. Man, skate 3 was such a let-down :-/

      Editing … It no longer has an open world compared to skate 1 and 2, instead they divided the city into three different levels. That's a deal-breaker. Moreover, this game feels sterile due to how empty it is. There are huge parts of the city with literally nothing in it, everything is way bigger than it should be. Port Carverton doesn't feel like a real city, unlike San Vanelona from skate 1 and 2. The spots are way less creative and thus less fun to skate. All these things make skate 3 a worse experience than the first two games in the series. It just isn't (as) fun.

      Editing … Oh, forgot about 3) skate 3's off-board controls are a bit more precise than skate 2's.

    „Re-entering the [UK All Formats] Top 40 for the first time this year at No 38 is EA’s skate 3 (+15%), which continues to enjoy a cult following on 360/PS3.

    The game dates from 2010, but units sold in 2014 and 2015 so far are close to 25% of entire lifetime sell-through, which is a highly unusual sales pattern for a boxed product.”

    Thanks #PewDiePie.

      Editing … Hell no, it sucked. Even though I played it for 20 hours straight, I never touched the game since. The world feels empty and too sterile. Skate 2 on the other hand is my second favorite game of all-time, it's pretty much superior in every way. You can tell that skate 3's development was rushed. Going back to separate levels after the huge connected open world in skate 2 was such an awful design decision, totally ruined the experience for me.

      Editing … Well that sucks. Glad I didn't pick it up then. I'd kill for a skate 4. A good one, I mean. Here's hoping the new Tony Hawk can fill the void.
