 Hello, and welcome to my current favorite game, Skater XL. If you know me, baby, you know that I am a big, big skateboard game fan. Skate three is one of my favorite games of all time. And, ooh, baby. There have been a couple of skateboarding games that have caught my eye since Skate three has passed because Skate three was released such a long time ago back in like 2010. But no other skateboarding games have caught my eye like Skater XL. And I played, I think I played Skater XL when it very first came out, when it was just early in the beta. And I honestly wasn't about it because I didn't like the controls because I was so set in my ways with the flick it control system from Skate where this one, each analog stick controls the foot. So the left analog stick controls the left foot, the right analog stick controls the right foot. But now that I've been playing, this is kind of like all I've been playing in my free time is Skater XL. Now that I've been playing it and have the controls down, this game is so much fun, so much fun. And what makes it even better? The fact that I have it on PC because there are mods on PC. So some of the mods I have on screen right now are just cosmetic mods where like the shirt that I'm wearing is custom, the shoes that I'm wearing are custom. The board I think is from the game still from like the base game. But there's also other mods too. Like you can't flip in this game. There's a mod that you can flip. I don't have any of those mods enable. As far as the gameplay goes, everything is still base game. All I have downloaded are custom cosmetics and custom maps. Which I think is the biggest thing about this game is that, and this video is gonna be a lot different than normal videos I think, because I think it's gonna be less ha ha funny goofs and more just fucking vibin' dude. Because it's just so chill to just sit here and play a skateboarding game. But that's one of the biggest things about Skater XL that it's a fully fleshed out in their own minds game where it's not a beta anymore, it's fully released. But there's really not enough content at all to constitute for a whole game. Doesn't make sense because there's only these five maps and then one, two, three. So there's eight maps total. There's no like open world at all. It's all just the map. So unlike Skate 3 and the Skate series as a whole, it's not open world like that. So you have to go to different maps. But there's also no NPCs at all. So it feels really lonely because it's only you in the game. Also the challenges, I'll show you the challenges. So like, let's go advanced flip tricks. So this is the challenge. You need to gnolly backside 180 kick flip. I did a hard flip, whoops, I grinded. There we go. So that's the challenge. Those are all the challenges. So honestly, other than just skating around and doing tricks and stuff, which for the most part is all a skateboarding game really needs to be. But that's all this game is. It's just like skating around because the challenges are really weak. There's no NPCs. It's not open world at all. And there are very limited maps. And honestly, the maps that are in the game, I think kind of suck. They're just really boring. They're super, super boring. But back to the mugs part is that the modding community of Skater XL have made some really fucking sick maps. So today we're just gonna look at some different maps. We're gonna skate around, have a good time. It's just, you know, time to just vibe. Yeah, man. That's what we're gonna do. So let's go to the maps. So I've downloaded a ton of maps in here, but by far, and this might honestly be the only one that we do, Applewood Park, baby. That is the best map on Skater XL community maps. It is so damn good. One, the spots are just really good in general. But two, it's so big. We got all this street stuff down here. Wow, look at that. This is crazy. We got a little, some big stairs over here, some cool little, some cool little things. We got a fun little like basketball court thing over here. And then we got the like more official actual kind of park thing over here. Wow, isn't this nice? Wow, look at this. Wow. Oh, baby. Would you look at that? Oh, a big rail. Oh, a picnic table. Oh, wow. Pretty cool if you ask me, gamers. Pretty damn cool if you ask me. But the spots on this map are sick. I really like them a lot. Let me take you on a journey. Let's go here because boy, oh boy, look at this big drop right here. Oh, baby, that's nice. Oh, baby, that's nice. Come around here and just a little, ooh, baby. We got a big old set of stairs right here. Ooh, that's nice. Oh yeah, we got a fun little thing right here, little trash can to, oh boy, oh boy. Oh, and then I'm dead. I like it a lot. Is this fun to watch? I don't know, but I'm just like kind of vibing out, dude. So the one thing that I really like about Skater XL is because of the way that you use like the different sticks for, it feels a lot less like, I guess, artificial or video gamey than Skate 3 does, in my opinion. But on the flip side, one, it's really hard to fall. Two, you can just do insane tricks that normal people in real life would not be able to do so easily. Let me just show you an example of what I mean. And this is even without having a flip mod enabled. I'm sure you could just do endless flips. So in Skate, the maximum amount of like kickflips you could do was a quad. And you could only do like one tray flip. With this, you can just do that. Frontside 720, 1800 tray quintuple flip. An Anali 1800 hard octopple flip. So, you know, it's not super realistic sometimes. But I do kind of like that you can just kind of flip the board forever as long as you're in the air. I think that's kind of cool. It doesn't just max out at four. Because in real life, you know, people have done quintuple flips and stuff before. Are they going to land them? Probably not. And definitely not as easily as this boy right here. But still kind of non-nuffle. I didn't even know that that's a number. We're learning new numbers today, dude. Skater XL teaches you numbers. Let's get some, let's get a sick little line here going. How about that, huh? How about that? Ooh, all right, we're gonna hit this rail first. Just a basic little kick flip to a board slide. Oh yeah. Hold on, hold on, hold on. I wanna get a full like badass line, all right? This is like real life skateboarding, dude. It's like me real life skateboarding, I'm very good. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Okay, okay, let's hit this real quick. Okay, okay, okay. Uh-huh, a little inward heel right there. Uh-huh, okay, just easily go around that. Oh baby, oh baby. Let's do a switch backside flip, yep. Oh yeah, oh yeah, baby. Ooh, let's hit this big boy right here. Oh, just tap it, just tap it right on the edge. Just the tip. It's just chill vibes, gamers. It's just chill vibes. I hope you're feeling these chill vibes with me. I have a Stranger Things poster, look at that. Little Stranger Things, isn't that fun? Wow, let's hit this ledge right here. Just real quick. Okay, that was kinda shit, but it's all right, it's all right. Uh-huh, that was bad. All of it's bad, I did bad things. It's also one harder to do grinds in this game, but it's also like more realistic because you can control both feet. So it's, I don't know, it makes it harder, but also a little bit more customized and stylized for sure. It's also kinda cool because you can do slower flips like that. Ooh, the steez on it. They sprinkle a little bit of steez on it, you know? It's still a fun little line right here, huh? Uh-huh, pop over here. Oh, baby, oh, baby. Oh, and then, ooh, oh, wow. I ain't never seen something so smooth like that before, have you? Probably not, oh, grinding on the stairs, whoops. And then you can pull back on bull sticks to ollie higher. I think that's kinda cool. Is that kinda cool? I think it's kind of cool. Ooh, wait, I wanna grind down this whole rail. Will I have enough speed? Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, if, go, go, if, go. He's gonna make it. Oh, wow, he's so pretty. Let's go up these warbillies. Can I get, oh, that was actually kinda sick, dude. Hold on, let's try and make this a thing. Let's make this a reality, up and over this. No, need more speed, need more speed. I might need to do it from up here. I might need to get this much speed. Let's see what we can do. Too much, oh, hold on. This is a good amount of speed. Might actually be a little too much speed. But we need to go into this a little bit earlier so we don't just go over the whole thing. Oh, didn't even need to do a big ollie over that. That was sick, dude. Dude, that was dope, nasty rad shit, dude. Let's see if we can 360 tray flip over that bitch. Ah, it was a front side 360 hard flip though. That was kinda cool. Wasn't that kinda cool? That was kinda cool, right? Wasn't that kinda cool? That's kinda cool. This is a new park that I just downloaded. And I like it. I do, I think it's fun. Heh, it's a fun little rail, huh? Ooh, go up real high, mister. Nice, do some switch tricks. Ooh, ooh. That is the one thing about this game that's a little funky because I skate goofy. I don't skate regular, but in this game, I have to skate regular because I'm so used to popping tricks with the right stick. But if I skate goofy, then I have to pop tricks with the left stick and it just doesn't make sense into my brain. So I skate regular in this game now. What just happened, dude? Oh, this is kinda sick actually. Little half pipe made out of the pole that we just did. Oh, I was about to ask if we could do that and then we just did it first try. That was sick. Give me $1,000 now, Thrasher magazine. Little fun little street park, little park session. Everything seems too small in this, you know? Where I feel like I can just ollie over everything without even doing the big ollie, you know? Feels a little too small. Like look how tiny this rail is. It's not size properly. I'm so big. Wait, let's see if things are to scale. Okay, well that basketball hoop seems the right size. Basketball hoops are 10 feet, but all these obstacles feel too small. Too small for my big boy brain. All right, let's get a sweet line here for you guys. Just a little nollie right there. A nice little, ooh, baby. And then we're gonna, uh-huh. And then, hold on, I wanna hit that rail, dude. Oh, yeah, with the lip. Uh-huh, oh, almost didn't make that. Oh, big boy tray down there, but now. I wanna get up and over, you must be able to. It's so nice when you just do like a slower thing. It's just so smooth, you know? So smooth, kind of like my bottom. Mm-hmm. Oh, we got speed, this body being flung across the map. So we definitely can do it. We definitely can. Let's just try just an ollie over it. Guys, if you have a Skater XL on PC, you have to download this map. Bye for our best map, bye for. I did it, I did it, did you see that, dad? Are you proud of me, dad? Let's try and see if we can tray over it, because that'd be sick. I feel like I can do it. I don't think you can do it. I don't think you can do it. I don't think you can do it. I don't think it's possible. I think with flip tricks, it's just not gonna happen, you know? Maybe I need to flip slower. All right, last try. Last try. This is the big one. This is the big one. This is where I make it. Make it or break it. Was that a gymnastics show? I think so. And I broke it. Broke my ankles. All right, and the game crashed. Perfect timing. All right, guys. Well, I am going to leave this one here. Thank you guys so much for watching. If you like skateboarding games, definitely check out Skater XL, especially on PC. It's really, really, really good. Anywho, thank you guys so much for watching this video. Love ya, and, dude, keep skating, dude. What is up, my crazy crew?
