Impressive! I've been loving the heck out of THPS 1+2; been making my way through it slowly. I've almost 100%'d the goals in THPS1 and can't wait to hit THPS2. The sequel's still one of my GOATs.
Don't think I'll go for the challenges, though...this is the first time I've played a THPS in ~20 years and I sucked when I first started, despite being an absolute demon back then. It's slowly but surely coming back to me. I never played much beyond 2...played a little bit of 3, so even the revert feels like a "new" thing to me.
Thanks
The Get There Challenge for School II broke me. I was trying to go for the Platinum but I can't for the love of me do that challenge. It's really hard! You basically have to grind all three Rail Call grinds and the gap out the front of the school hall in one combo. I for the love of me can't do it. I can get the first three gaps needed but I can't make it to that last role call grind for the life of me. I just either lose momentum on the grind or manual or get hit by the stupid rent a cop somewhere along the line.
So yeah, the Get There challenges ultimately killed any lust I had to go for the platinum thanks to that one challenge.
But other than that, I love the game too. I played a shit ton of 2 and 3 back in the day, so I grew very custom to the revert and manual in terms of pulling huge combos. In my heyday, I could do 1.5 or 2 million combos with relative ease in THPS3. I was that dialled into 3.
I loved 2 and 3 that much back in the day. 4 was fun but I think fatigue started to set in for me after 4. But yeah, I loved 2 and 3 and would easily put 3 in my top ten of all time.
