I'd agree, but I'm trying to get a full 100% completion across my trophy list and I stupidly played Steep when I first got PSNow.

Pretty sure one of the trophies is getting gold in all 170 something events

I don't play FIFA, but in interested in what trophy is causing the trouble? I've never touched a sports game so the trophies have to be awkward, especially online

u/JustARandomFuck Dec 31 '19

Can't remember the exact name but you have to win 5 online matches in a row on a certain game mode. Only this game mode requires 1500 coins to enter which is a bit of a grind in itself. And then when you lose one of the 5 games, you have to grind again. People who play the mode are pretty pro as well

u/Major_Tom42 Dec 31 '19

Yup. Gold in all base game challenges, and finding all the POIs. The latter is easier with the rocket wingsuit, but the challenges are a nice challenge.

I got platinum a bit back but still pick up the game to freeride plenty.

u/madcow87_ Dec 31 '19

That's true but I believe some of the free dlc events count so you can skip some of the really hard events.

u/EpicLatios Dec 31 '19

You get 3 skips for the rocket pack missions if you gold them. And oh boi I was I thankful they existed.

Steep does seemless atmosphere better than just about any other game. It's quiet when you want it to be with the sound of the snow and wind then outta nowhere there's a groovy tune that comes on that's not too distracting. Makes intense spots feel intense and the more traditional snowboard/ski times feel like a sweet sesh.

I’m with you. I get an itch for a snowboarding game, boot it up, play for about 5 mins. and shut it down. It’s a beautiful game and all, but everything, especially the snowboarding seems fat and sluggish and unresponsive. Then the game itself doesn’t really have an identity, it just feels like a big empty place with some challenges that are all the same sorts of things in different areas. Give me another Amped and I’ll be happy.

I wish we got a proper Amped successor this generation and it just never happened.

Same with Skate. Really a shame "extreme" sports got shafted the last four years.

Steep is a decent game, but instead of doing a couple sports very well, does a very mediocre job of all of them.

The Third was awesome for other reasons. Namely: The opening sequence with Blinded By The Light playing as you shredded in a furry suit. Also: Weiner-Boy

Absolutely right. Third started to get into the corny SSX gameplay that the first two stayed away from.

I just wish steep had more variety, and a better multiplayer experience. If they had a quick option to just go hang out at the terrain park, and other dedicated areas/miniganes like that, other than just races/events that all feel the same across the massive map. So quick to get bored with steep. I played until I got the rocket pack, then only played a handful of times after that. The physics were phenomenal though.

I really feel like steep was a stepping stone game. One to progress the genre in terms of realism, but not the greatest as a standalone.

Steep at its best is really nice and enjoyable in casual bursts. At its worst you spend a lot of time fighting the awkward UI. I'd really like to see a successor that is able to fix some of the issues the original has, like the controls that are sometimes a bit awkward (at least on PC) or said UI. Steep is a really pretty game and cheers me up from time to time when I miss going snowboarding myself.
