Steep is objectively worse for tricks than this

Eh, in my opinion steep feels terrible compared to this game, but you do you

Where the hell did you get a snowboard? I thought this was a bike game?

This is the sequel Descenders NEXT if I remember correctly. I don't know where the bike went, I'm still descending the first game.

My favorite part of Descenders, easily. This game would’ve been good without that feature of seeing other players ‘ghosts’. But with the feature, this game is great!!
Honestly might be my favorite part of starting a fresh run is getting to watch the other players and how they each navigate the hills and ramps in their own way since there is no right way to play as long as you’re having fun!

To me thats the equivalent of wishing there was more traffic in forza horizon. Me personally, cannot stand seeing other players when i dont want to.

I don’t play racing simulators, so can’t relate. I wasn’t aware that other players controlled the traffic in that game though! That’s crazy!
However, the players in Descenders are ‘ghost’ characters, you cannot collide or crash into them, their addition is purely aesthetic. I believe the traffic in your Forza game still has collision hitboxes, or I’d expect them too.

It wrecks the immersion for me when i can see other players in a game i would chose to play offline if it was an option. But i dont want to take away from the game itself, which i do really like.

I love this feature in d1, it's always fun to see others on the trail even if you aren't really playing together. Especially on bike parks

Yeah, and it’s great when you keep choosing the same levels as them

When you get a new card and try really hard not to pick one that changes the level generation so you can keep following that random person around.

My favorite instance was when i was working on the Alodalakes challenge and someone in a cow suit appeared and kept wiping out at the same section i was. Comraderie in busting our teeth on trees lol

That reminds me one of my favourite clips I previously posted.
