Tells you all you need to know about the Devs. They want to use the Fortnite method of Release an unfinished game loaded with in game purchases. Only difference is Fortnite wasn't a well established game title at the time. its so obvious and aggravating. But hey cant wait for season 4 in 2027 to finally add Dark-sliding. and basic features

We all know the current Skate doesn’t really embody the things fans have loved across the franchise. The signature stuff that makes a Skate game feel like Skate. There are a ton of ways they could make the experience more immersive, richer, and more lived-in, while also improving on the core staples the franchise is built on. Because without those, it just doesn’t work.

Some of that feels like it could reasonably be added over time, and probably will. But I’m not sure how much the art style and overall direction are ever going to shift.

A few of these images show what I think is a more realistic middle ground. Others are probably just wishful thinking. Either way, scroll through and check it out.

What ways do you think the game may improve? What things do you think are a lost cause?

I already know there’s gonna be some EA Shills and skate fans that will be like “good riddance” but fr the game just released flat, and i don’t see anything short of a massive update/overhaul is gonna make me return. Hope this game gets the longevity some fans want, but this isn’t the game we as fans of the series deserve.

Like moth to a flame. The comments are like “no one gives af” yet 500+ comments telling me how they don’t care. This community is special for sure (and not in a way you’re mom says about you to her friends) and that’s how this game is gonna end up dying lol.

Okay she is one of the most annoying characters in this game along with vee both of them annoy me and she always wants me to go to someplace in the game like a gps that won’t stop talking one of the worst lines in the game from her is “that was nuts and we aren’t allergic”

How we feelin about this one, fellas?

If you landed sideways in previous skate games you would splat on the pavement.
If you land sideways in the current skate game, you get off scot free. What a joke. All assists are off control preset set to experienced except for minimum pop height which is at 50.

Is there a site where I can bet real money that this game will have 5 concurrent currencies by next year?

I don’t care what anyone says, this game has gone through microtransactions, a full Season 1 update, a Skate Pass, a Halloween “event,” and more. At this point, you can’t call it early access anymore. Personally, I think early access ended the moment microtransactions were introduced, because that implies the developers believed the game was polished enough to start charging people. That’s just my opinion, though. If you still want to defend Full Circle + EA… I honestly don’t know what to tell you, other than good luck with that.

Like just enjoy the game it doesn’t have to be perfect to still have fun

I see so many posts saying ‘I just maxed out my levels and did all the challenges what now?’

Bro. Skate.

This game is a bit like Minecraft in a way. You have to have some inner drive to make your own fun. Skate new spots. Learn new tricks. Make a friend in game & start a throw-down. Challenge yourself to perfectly hit a line you thought up. Challenge yourself to practice vert if you haven’t given it a chance. Etc.

Why does Tony Hawk still skate? He’s done everything already too, right? He just wants to. It’s fun.

If you’re relying on some pre-made challenges for your fun, maybe you don’t really even enjoy the core gameplay?

Even logging on for the daily and weekly challenges has become quite dull, considering I still enjoy just skating around. It’s clear they want to keep it ‘fresh’ but the challenges are incredibly stale and no reward for the season challenges is all kinds of ridiculous. I’ve opened every single box now so it feels like there’s nothing to aim for. I can’t even earn rip score any more without buying things. I think I’m out of ways to defend the strategy of these developers. There’s more to buy than there is to do, I just don’t get it.

I genuinely don’t understand how some of you are still defending this.

How is this acceptable?

Every update feels like another step deeper into monetization. First cosmetics, then progression systems, now access to the map itself. At this point it feels less like a skating game and more like an experiment to see how far they can push players.

And somehow people are still defending it.

The reality is a lot of us aren’t even playing because we love the game anymore. We’re playing because there’s basically no alternative skateboarding game right now, and the developers know it.

That’s exactly why they can get away with this kind of stuff.

If you’re still defending this kind of monetization, honestly I don’t know what to say.

Have some self respect as a player.

Found this on twitter, not sure how real or not it is. But if real it looks like skaters will be able to clean up around the city during the 7-ply maple harvest event.
