DLC #56 - Skate 3 San Van Party Play

Re-visit the classic San Van skate park!
The final piece of Skate 3 DLC re-visits the old stomping ground of San Van, complete with 9 new trophies.

Although the requirements are incredibly linear, and simply involve beating the small clutch of newly presented missions, there is a fairly solid challenge to be had in certain instances.

Every new challenge, including a range of film, photo and own the spot challenges, grant an individual trophy upon completing them, which ensures a nicely even spread on the package, and given the fact most of them only require a couple of tries to beat, it's a generous offering of trophies.

However, if you're still looking for a challenge, you'll get one thanks to a specific trophy in this DLC;




Marraffanator
Complete the "Marraffa's Skatepark" OTL challenge 



                                                                                                            The DLC is about 4-5 hours in total length, but the majority of this time will be spent trying to beat the Own The Lot challenge for the DLC.

As with all OTL challenges, there are a couple of incredibly tricky tasks to pull off, and you never feel like you get enough time to tick off all 12 tasks in order to "Own the Lot" and unlock the trophy. Even though most of the 12 tasks are quite simple, there are a couple that will peg you back and halt your progression, which will definitely require you to retry this challenge a handful of times.

It's a little bit frustrating to get so close, but having to re-do everything because you couldn't tick off a couple of the boxes on the trick list, but as long as you persevere, you'll be OK and eventually nail it.

Apart from that though, there's alot of easy trophies on offer here, and if you're willing to be patient, grabbing all of them isn't too demanding.
