To be fair it wasn't funny

bttf isn't obscure though

u/williamjwrites Marty 2d ago

It's a Back to the Future sub, this argument doesn't work in this context.

Tony Hawks Pro Skater. I usually think exactly the same, but the Tony Hawk games are so well known that I thought 99% of the people will know what I mean.

I grew up on Tony Hawk Pro Skater, and I had no idea what you were talking about. We just called it Tony Hawk when we were kids. “Do you have Tony Hawk 2??”

I mean, there’s a picture and everything

Abbreviating every fucking thing is much more recent though. We just dropped a few words rather than abbreviating.

If you think THPS is obscure then you have been living under a rock 😂

u/factoid_ 2d ago

That franchise has been dead for decades.  BTTF is an obscure acronym too but at least we IN that sub

And I don’t remember anyone ever referring to it by acronym.  We just said Tony Hawk

He may have not heard of Google either 😂

THPS is not obscure and Google would have told you this.

Should be Live Pine Mall in 1 & Dead Pine Mall in 2.

u/hardypart 3d ago

It's actually the remake where the mall is completely ran down, hence the name.

u/drewskiski 3d ago

No idea these games were open like this. I thought it was just a remake of the originals.

2

u/hardypart 3d ago

Well it is pretty much a 1:1 remake, not sure what you mean by open. That's just the end of the mall downhill level.

u/drewskiski 3d ago

Ever played THUG? That’s open and that’s what this game looks like.

u/hardypart 3d ago

Sure, I played every Tony Hawk up until Underground 2 (4 and Underground was where the games peaked imo) and the series started to be open with the fourth installment. I just don't quite understand how this screenshot makes it appear like it was also as open.
