  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 เม.ย. 2018
  • As sort of a follow up to my every Tony Hawk game ranked video, I decided to visit another similar franchise that I've been equal fan of from the beginning. SSX. As a huge SSX fan, I've played every single SSX game, and decided to rank every single game, worst to best. This accrued to a total of 6 games.

    I have a habit of playing SSX 3 pretty much every winter. There's nothing like picking a new character, decking them out in snow gear, working your way up the mountain and maxing their stats, only to then pick a playlist and free ride your way down the entire thing like a victory lap. The game has such a perfect winter atmosphere, and I never get sick of it. Just little things like the radio announcer, the loading screens on the lifts, and all the little venues you can ride to. It's like going on vacation.

      Poor obstacle placement killed it. It would often punish you for going too quickly/getting too much air.

      SSX3 was objectively the better game in pretty much all respects, but whenever I think back to old memories of SSX, it is always Tricky that comes to mind. The courses were all so unique, and the overall vibe was amazing.

  • @windmonkey95
    @windmonkey95 5 ปีที่แล้ว +61

    SSX 3 is one of the few games I can confidently say will never get old. It's controls were so smooth and precise, the tricks were so cool and original, traversing the levels is so satisfying and had tons of replay value, there was so much freedom and exploration, especially for a game genre that could easily be seen as very restrictive when it comes to exploration, the music was absolutely perfect, the characters were cool, original, and interesting without ever feeling like they were trying to overshadow the gameplay, and of course, there was DJ Atomika. To anyone who hasn't played SSX 3 before, go online and buy it, dust off your PS2, slap that bad boy into the console, and start kicking yourself for not having played it sooner, you'll love it.

    The lighting effects in SSX 3 was really something else. The snow had this glitter effect, like you could see the individual ice crystals. It was really cool, and still makes it look stunning. Also, the fact that you automatically found your way back on your feet after a huge air trick was very welcome. I can't remember how many times I went mad over landing on my head due to my character spinning the wrong way around when trying to land in Tricky.

    When I was little, my dad had SSX 3 on his console. I would play it sometimes, but never really grasped the controls. Recently, 13 years later, I felt a little nostalgic about that old Xbox. So I renovated it and rediscovered the game along with it. Even spite being an already experienced gamer, I've never felt anything similar to playing this game before, and loved every minute of it

      I agree 100% with the fact 2012 did try to capture 3 aesthetically, but you have to look at the overall package between the two. Though 3 didn't have online; it offered far more content with couch coop and solo options. Plus the soundtrack is dar more memorable and 3 was basically when the series peaked (pun intended).

    I've only ever owned the SSX reboot and played a little of tricky, but I really got a lot of enjoyment out of the new one. I know it's a massive divergence from the old series, but I'm a snowboarder who enjoys freeriding (exploring the mountain, finding and working with new and weird terrain). It let me have that same feeling of trying out new lines, finding what's most satisfying to me and partially ignoring the scoring. And to be honest, the trick system is way over the top, but once it passes realism it's all the same to me. Nobody in a snowboarding game has ever pulled an oblique going for a crail, y'know?

    Personally, I actually liked SSX 2012 and it's my favorite in the series. To me, it was the series growing up ad the characters have. In the first game, they were all teenagers and young adults, but by the 2012 they were all in their mid 20s at the youngest and Zoe was in her 30s. It made sense to me that they would want to challenge something like real mountains; especially the dangerous ones like Everest and Kilimanjaro. This is just my reasoning for liking it. If they make a new SSX, I would like them to continue the timeline but have the SSX veterans train a new generation.

    Only played On Tour and 2012, and having said that I need to point out that everything you praised about the On Tour combo system is present in the 2012 system. In fact, they work the exact same way! You talked about how ridiculous it was how involved the character movement for so little inputs but that's what you got with every other game too!
    I can vouch that the level design could've been better and more exciting, but you completely overlooked the fun and interesting challenges introduced by the individual goals of the seven deadly descents.

I 100% completed SSX(2012) a long time ago, but it's one of the few games I can always see myself enjoying. SSX 3 is my second favorite, followed by Tricky, then On Tour.

    • @ShinyGaara65
      @ShinyGaara65 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      From what I remember playing SSX2012, the controls were really slippery and I didn't feel like I was earning my spins and flips. It's the difference between a burger you make yourself (SSX3) and a McDonalds cheeseburger (SSX2012). Just because they're easier and you can stuff a bunch of 'em in your mouth, doesn't mean you feel as good eating them. SSX had a trick system where you felt like you were really putting effort in for those tricks. In 2012? You just hold a direction in midair and boom. 5 backflips and a sloppy landing. Without charging up or prepping the spin beforehand.

    SSX3 was my first and so far only game that I've owned from the series. It just happened to be one of the three games that I purchased along with the Xbox initially, no hate for the others. I guess it was fortunate that this game was my introduction to the series because I wholeheartedly agree with all of your points.The part that struck me the most was the fluid transition between the tracks. At first you were greeted with very arcade-ish and flashy levels, but as you progressed the atmosphere took a far more serious turn. You'd constantly find yourself immersed in the desolate and at the time alien peaks in contrast to the levels you played over and over to get there. If you made it back down to familiar terrain it sure gave you a feeling of comfort and safety, as if you're home free. Definitely gave me a nostalgia trip lol.

    Absolutely brilliant! Didn’t know there were as many fans for ssx3 as what they are!? Whenever I’ve always talked about it people have always said Tricky was their favourite.
    SSX3 was to quote everything you said in the video and more for me personally. I loved all the customisations and artwork. I took massive inspiration from this into my own artwork as I absolutely love it! So will always be my favourite not only SSX game, but favourite Game of all time!!
    Not long ago even I played it with my daughter who loved it just as much as I did and even asked to play it again! Never would I think when I first started playing this game back when I was mistakenly bought it for my birthday instead of 1080 Avalanche (which I’m so grateful for becausethat game is garbage now in comparison) would I be playing it later in life with my own kids! 😁

    I love you and I love this game series. It's a shame EA owns it because they are a worthless trash company now. Even Ubisoft would be a better home for SSX at this point.
    Really gotta disagree about 2012's placement though. Yeah it was fairly sterile but so was On Tour. The courses felt good for the most part minus the death pits. Deadly Descents didn't add much to the gameplay but weren't awful to play. Music was amazing. Honestly It outclasses SSX and On Tour pretty easily by pretty much being a bunch of Untracked-style maps with SSX 3's gameplay. It's third only to Tricky and 3.

      I feel you, the game is ultimately a disappointment, but I feel like people exaggerate the extent of that disappointment. It's a really good game in its own right. Overall I'm glad it was made, even if it did prove to be the death knell of the franchise, at least for now. Who knows, maybe we'll get a new one in 2019 if the industry ever gets out of this hamster wheel of multiplayer Games as a Service TM with billion dollar budgets to the exclusion of everything else that doesn't make ALL THE MONEY and only makes SOME OF THE MONEY. My hopes aren't high tho

      Yeah, I have to agree. I thought 2012 was easily the best out of the post-SSX3 games. It had a lot of flaws but the things it got right, they got REALLY right. Definitely not comparable to the trash heap that's Tony Hawk 5. If SSX 7 was made and it directly improved upon 2012 mechanics-wise while keeping the level design/aesthetic of Tricky and 3, then it would be an amazing game. Sadly, that will never happen.

    Man the SSX franchise is a huge nostalgia trip for me.
    I definitely agree with those sticking up for the 2012 reboot, I'd say it's at least as good, if not better, than On Tour. From the games I've played, my own ranking from best to worst would be SSX3 -> 2012 -> On Tour -> Tricky, but they all have a special place in my heart and the list mixes up for me all the time. I dug On Tour's more punk aesthetic, but the new uber system and controls made the game feel much easier than it really should have been, and while I love Tricky, compared to the newer ones, the linearity just mostly reminds me of how awesome the more open tracks of later games were (though those tracks were a dream to play on on their own).
    The reboot definitely suffered a bit from losing some of the series' personality, and I totally get where people come from when they say the visual style feels bland and repetitive. For my money, though, despite the things lost in the reboot, I really dug what the game added into the mix. I think the deadly descents were a great addition to the formula, and if the franchise ever continues I would hope they would become a series staple. The online features were also great, not needing to pair up with friends to play (instead playing against their ghosts) is a great feature, and when they added simultaneous multiplayer is was even better. But yeah, the online presence quickly died off, the microtransactions were bleh, and a few of the descents were pretty iffy (the avalanche backwards cam was a pretty weird one). The Eddie DLC brought back the more wacky, funky style of the previous games, but by then it was too late.

    I think SSX Tricky is the best. It is the most fun out of all the SSX games. It has the best characters and maps hands down. SSX 3 has the best character customization (The gear/clothes in On Tour are too plain compared to 3) without a doubt but the maps get old very fast with it being so bland. Every map being on one big mountain makes most of the maps look too similar which will get boring after a while. So that’s why overall I think SSX Tricky is the best.
