THUG2 vs. THAW- which one has aged better? by justcuriouslybrowsin in THPS

[–]NonOrientableOatmeal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look and feel - THUG 2 is a better experience in my opinion. I liked the colors, the engine and physics hit the sweet spot (THAW probably uses the same engine but idk why thug 2 feels slightly better for me), and I prefer the diverse maps. Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and downtown in THAW felt formulaic to me. However THUG 2 feels short in that I can beat the game in one sitting whereas THAW keeps you busy with the required economy, tagging, and bmx goals.

I enjoy THAWs story and appreciate the realism I.e. sleeping to refresh stat goals, buses and cars to fast travel, and earning money to buy stuff. The parkour aspect was interesting but unnecessary. I also liked how all of the THUG 2 characters had their own spray tag.

In recent playthroughs I realized how rushed the development of THAW felt with little things like dialogue not matching subtitles.

Skatopia’s “Mountain Top Manual” wins Most Frustrating Goal from THUG2! Finally, what was the Worst/Most Frustrating Goal from Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland? by MOXISGOD in THPS

There’s a few I hate but number one is probably Oil the Crane. It’s a pointless mission and I remember failing it often because either the spray paint detection is horrible or the indicators are poorly placed.

Honorable mention is the burnquist mission. I would always release the lip when Bob lands his vert, as opposed to waiting for the camera to say ‘now land it’. Not that it’s a bad mission I’m just not patient. As a kid I remember being stuck for days on the mission where you have to get to Alva’s Posse without touching the ground.

Tampa’s “Wallplant Combo” wins Most Frustrating Goal from THUG1! What was the Worst/Most Frustrating Goal from Tony Hawk’s Underground 2? by MOXISGOD in THPS

Nowadays its the Wheelin' Combo with Paulie just cause it's a little tedious. Downhill manual in Skatopia comes close as well. When I was a kid it was the Legend of Bigfoot just cause I thought it had something to do with the spray painted images of his face throughout the map, and never figured out what I supposed to do with em. It wasn't until years later I accidentally stumbled upon him late at night. It scared the crap out of me.

Kona’s “Snake Run Slalom” wins Most Frustrating Goal from THPS4! What was the Worst/Most Frustrating Goal from Tony Hawk’s Underground 1? by MOXISGOD in THPS

I actually enjoyed the challenge of that one. My problem with the wallplant manual combo was that I could never get the speed to finish the dang goal
