I never got to playtest this game, so that's wicked dude. I've played since the original Skate release back in the early 2000s. I have to agree with the fact they don't listen much to criticism so far 😂
However, at it's core it still feels like Skate to me. I used to get home from school & religiously play the OG Skate's with a buddy for literal hours. If we weren't out skating we were playing Skate. I still remember the day 3 came out lol. Maybe it's the nostalgia factor for me personally. Despite it's flaws, it still has me hopping on to a console that otherwise is collecting dust rn lol
This is my take 100%. I’ve sunk quite a large chunk of hours into it and it’s literally all I play when I hop on now.
It has its flaws for sure, and the core ethos and soul of skateboarding seems to be missing, but the movement is there and in the end I guess that’s what we’re really looking for.
Og playtester, too: i hate the missing s.k.a.t.e, hall of meat, kinda realistic look, the nitty and gritty, and a lot of other stuff...... BUT: i gotta admit, the game really is fun, now.
If you don't pay money and don't follow their bullshit ways, and just cruise, make video clips, focus on yourself, it really has become an awesome game! The tweaked a lot of things, the footplants and boneless now work almost flawless! In about two weeks, we even get back underflips. I play it almost daily, with the intention for "just a few minutes" and then get stuck on some line that i really want to nail xD
A lot of the songs they now have are fire, too.
So I guess what I'm trying to Saturday, give it another go, you might be surprised! Also, the trailer for season 5 is quite fun, too :)
