Trophy hunters will not be joyful. If you’ve managed to nab each different achievement in Skater XL, and have gotten more and more infuriated by the dastardly “Travel over 40.075 km in total” one, I’m afraid I’m about to damage your day.
Apparently the dot has managed to wander three decimal locations to the correct, which is a bit inconvenient for individuals who don’t wish to skateboard the precise circumference of the earth. It’s both that or the gap tracker is damaged – both method, it was speculated to be a manageable joke, however has as a substitute grow to be a near-impossible feat.

That method they’ll maintain happening a ramp as a substitute of getting to manually management their skateboarder – nevertheless, though this technique is faster, it nonetheless takes 46 days to unlock.
Base PS4 homeowners like myself must get used to the sound of a jet engine cooling fan, it appears.
