.... I'll just let myself out.

After all the fully upvoted comments regarding SSX over the past while, I've already prepared myself for the possibility of being downvoted into the depths of hell for this, but....

Am I the only one that thought there was something that just seemed wrong with this, at least as compared to the previous entries? Can't quite put my finger on it, but there is something about the control that doesn't seem quite right. And I don't mean the actual control scheme, just the feel of the game itself. There's also something about the viewpoint, even when set to the closest setting, that seems a little too far off to me.

Not saying it's a bad game, especially since I spent a fair amount of time with the demo and will most likely buy the game today. But I just feel a little underwhelmed with it. Maybe I had set my expectations too high.

Anyways, end of rant. See you on the slopes!

Can't you just re-download from your download list? Still have my original beta files, but I tested this and found that I could download again. I just cancelled the download, so not sure if it's possible to reinstall.

Oh god no... seriously?
Kids these days. Makes me weep for the future.

Like the irrational child-like hope that I will actually win one of these joyswag competitions!
Oh, and sex and eggnog. Tis the season.

My gaming room smells like mandarin and cranberry... yeah, so I keep a clean, fresh smelling house, you wanna fight about it?

I would draw a stick man... my artistic prowess knows no bounds.

I hate the Battlefield 3 / Modern Warfare 3 fanboy wars so much I could repeatedly stab a MW3 fan in the face with a BF3 fan... then vice versa... and tea bag both... kids still tea bag in these games right?

Can we all just pretend there is one less "instead" in that last sentence? No? Damn...

Many of the comments in this thread (among countless others) seem to reflect the sad reality of the gaming community these days:
If it's not the best thing ever, it's absolute garbage.
Sometimes it might be worthwhile to look past graphical flaws and poor lip-sync. This game seems to be taking a more "human" approach to the post-apocalyptic survival genre, which isn't a bad thing.
Not to say that the game is guaranteed to be a success. If fact, a lot of signs are admittedly pointing in the other direction. But seeing so many "looks like shit, etc." comments being up-voted reminds me why I often grow tired of even bothering with reviewing the comments on this site.
While everyone is entitled to their own opinion, maybe it's time to wait for a game to be released and judge it on its own merits, instead of immediately writing the game off based on 30 seconds of video.
Can't think of how many great games I would have missed if I didn't look past (sometimes obvious) flaws, and instead took the time to try them out instead.
