Just downloaded.  Can’t tell if I’m rusty or the game play isn’t as nice

 I feel bad for the layed off Dev's. I would like to think they wanted to make a better game and higher ups fucked up their vision.

No one posted about this because the game is basically dead before 1.0 release. About a week before these layoffs they announced the Tutorial Island was renamed, and available for a limited time for season pass holders. after a couple weeks normal players could rent it for 24 hours with one of the many virtual currencies. This didn't go over well, especially with their pre release promises of no maps behind paywalls.

Jesus. What a cluster fuck. I’ve generally enjoy the gameplay but this is such an astronomical fuck up. If they just stuck with Skate 4 and charged full price they’d have sold millions of copies. This Skortnite BS is infuriating. Who greenlit this Pop Off update?

That’s what I was thinking. They should’ve just made a real Skate 4 with career mode and the usual stuff. I would’ve bought it on release day.

they couldn’t have killed this game faster if they’d tried. I was trickling out during season 1 and haven’t logged on since the beginning of season 2. I honestly don’t even know at this point what they can do to salvage the game.

I kind of gave up midway through season 2.

The map is bland and lacks any personality between the neighborhoods
rotating the same challenges just to fulfill the daily requirements
lack of any brands that I would actually wear in real life other than maybe sci-fi fantasy
multiple currencies for an "early access" game lol
no matchmaking system to help doing party challenges

It's a mess with no direction other than trying to sell as many microtransactions as possible, which wouldn't be a problem if 98% of the shit in the store wasn't ass.

same feelings, tried out the season 3 update and you can't even get to the other map unless you buy the "premium" pass.
the map is so boring. a couple cool spots i'll go to for 10-15 minutes and then i'm bored with it. I'm really glad i didn't spend money on this game, early access or not it's pretty bad

[big sex]

The little spot they added is some bullshit

[Cuban_Lynx]

I’m begrudgingly playing it regularly still, but god is it hard to like. The controls are superior, but it has no soul and I get furious with each update adding more micro transactions. I won’t spend a dime of real money until they give me a real game.

I would pay full price for a Skate 1-3 remake like the THPS series did. Coach Frank and Skate More Jason Dill was so much better than Vee and my generic Fortnite character.

Well if it makes them accessible for PlayStation users it’d be nice

I fell off this shit so hard.

I just bought Session on my Steam Deck after getting a little bored of the one area available in the Skate Style demo too.

EA could easily port them to PS4 and PS5 like Rockstar did with the GTA3 games...EA really does hate gamers

How does Xbox get around the licensing of the soundtrack and brands? I know most racing games have to be pulled after X amount of years because of licensing agreements
How do they go about selling a game when many of the in game brands have gone out of business?

[bluntfullofmid]

not sure if people care about this game anymore but season 4 drops tomorrow and both Quasi and Real are coming to the game

Rarely play this game anymore but logged on and was surprised to see Quasi gear available

Items feel unobtainable without the premium pass
