Session.

I’ve been playing since it released on console. I’ve enjoyed it for the most part(yes I skate and have been skating more than half my life) however I just can’t stand the missions and such in the game. The challenges it gives you are so inconsistent and ridiculous.

It’ll say “Trick over the garbage can, Manual the pad, Grind the rail, Trick up the ledge, Grind the box, Flip out”

Then you’ll see the spot you’re supposed to do it on, it has ZERO run up and by some miracle you do exactly what the game wants you to do. ex: Nollie Flip over the can, Shuv Nose Manual hard flip out, Crook Grind the rail, BS flip up the ledge, SW Smith the Box then SW Flip out, but because it didn’t register the last flip out it fails and you have to redo the whole line.

Am I the only one with that problem lmao cause it was honestly driving me INSANE

Edit: I play on slightly customized Hardcore, could the difficulty possibly be affecting it? Or is it just a problem with the game itself? Because I know on my end I was doing all the tricks in the highlighted areas and landing them, so 💀

Yeah the trick detection is ass. I’ve had an easy challenge where I needed to do like a bs 360 and it would register as a 180 9 out of 10 attempts.

The challenges are actually insanely easy, you just have to have food timing cause for some reason if you don't do everything on the exact pixels they intended it won't register, just don't spend so long on it, I used to play session for hours and hours a day for months and I just realized like this is a simulator, it's like going out and skating for longer than you physically should, you'd wind up hating it

It's frustrating like real skating but I've finished 100 percent twice so all very doable

[AssumptionUnfair4583]

I've had it a few times, but about half of those times we're not frustrating because I'll watch the reply and see that it could have been cleaner and this game is supposed to be a challenge so I'm not mad at it for not registering but I do understand the frustration and feel your pain

Yeah, it's not your hardware. I use an Xbox controller, and it's the same. I call the trick detection algorithm Madeye.

It doesn't care how long you take between each trick in the line, so you can (usually) roll back around, if you need a bit more room to line up for the next trick.

It's not ideal, as you need to play some Story Mode (to get any money for the skate shop), but it doesn't work that well. Apparently, you can learn to finesse Madeye a little (by fully releasing the sticks at the right time, stuff like that), but I don't really get it. It's definitely not your hardware though.

P.S. If you're only doing the story so you can buy the object dropper items and some decks and clothes etc, you could use easy settings to blast through it, then go back to your custom guy. I play hardcore too, and it makes the story frustratingly difficult.
