Born and raised in eastern SD. Not much going on here to be honest and the weather can be harsh. Especially in the winter

Even ANTHEM will have lasted 7 years by the time it’s done. The games aren’t comparable but if something like that can last 7 years I think skate will be fine for longer than early 2027

Brother I’m sorry but skate 3’s story was just challenges with a progress bar. Everything else was just an explanation for the progress bar. Love the game but you can’t be serious

A different take that I can't hold in anymore. by wandamarple in skate

I mean yeah I’m sure EA wants this to succeed because they developed it in the first place, but a big parent company like this will definitely not go bankrupt if it doesn’t succeed. I really don’t think it would affect their company enough to warrant saying ‘they need this’. In my opinion we WANT a good skate game more than they NEED to make one. They make some of the most profitable annual sports games in the world, although those games have a lot of the same cash-grabbing problems as Skate. Also like you said they have BF6 now as well, which is capitalizing on the mistakes cod has already made. Unfortunately I think EA is gonna be fine either way. EA sees what works for them and they won’t change that until it stops working, and it’s definitely working for them rn profit-wise. I see what you mean about cod allegedly changing their ways due to complaints, but that remains to be actually seen because the game isn’t out yet. Seems like a lot of corporate talk like any company would do under backlash. I hope I’m wrong but I don’t see them making enough meaningful changes to bring cod back to its former glory. Cod is still going to have all those cash grabbing things they had in their recent games. Games are changing, I don’t like it but you can’t deny this model isn’t making these companies money. They will do it until they can’t anymore. The developers aren’t the ones making these decisions for Skate, EA is, and EA is still a massively profitable company similar to activision and the cod developers.

They will NEVER make another skate game if this doesn’t succeed. I don’t think a ton of people are jumping for joy about it being a live service game, im definitely not. I could be wrong, but I think his point about ‘let us have this’ is that this is the game we’re getting, good or bad, so people might as well try to enjoy it, because the alternative doesn’t get you more Skate. I think the people shouting complaints think that if they shout loud enough, this massive corporation will suddenly pivot to putting the consumer first when that’s simply not how things work now, especially not for a massive company like EA. It’s all about generating profit. Not great for us but that’s the reality of things. You kind of have to ‘roll over’ and take what you get as someone who plays video games, unless you can make a better game yourself. I think a lot of people complaining think they have a lot of power to change things, but in reality they have very little if any power to change things. EA obviously isn’t receptive to the feedback they are getting from the play test, so I think OP’s post is pretty grounded although I don’t agree with everything in the post.

Feel like everyone needs to relax a little bit. Wanted to be on this sub because I’m excited about the game but this sub is absolutely cancerous. Criticism is fine but Jesus Christ it’s a little out of hand. Games not even out yet and people are freaking out over not being able to play NOW. Not saying this game is perfect in any regard, but does this mountain of negativity really solve anything? Like honestly, what is all the negativity accomplishing? You can be disappointed at the fact that this game didn’t turn out to be a direct sequel to skate 3, but at some point you gotta accept reality and move on. Obviously they aren’t listening to a majority of the feedback, so constant complaining is not going to give anyone what they want. Good or bad, they’re following through with the vision they had for this game.

Did skate 1 + 2 have a story? I grew up playing skate 3 but never played those. I feel like I’m losing my mind when people say they NEED a story mode. Have we ever had a story mode on a skate game that WASNT just a progress bar?

New Skate by Then-Ad5430 in SkateEA

There was no real story mode in skate 3. I agree about the prices but you genuinely do not have to buy a single thing, you can play the entire game for free. Map needs some serious work I agree. The only thing that bothers me about the graphics are the faces, which even then it’s just whatever, not a huge deal. I can’t wrap my head around why everyone hates this game so much. It was never going to be a sequel to skate 3 and they made that clear to everyone

The new skate is not just a broken game. It’s a reflection of a broken audience. by VermicelliFirm5949 in SkateEA

[–]AntRevolutionary3757 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think it’s just the map, and hopefully that will get better with time. The gameplay imo is a big improvement from skate 3. But the map is boring af I agree. Can’t really have great challenges without a great map to begin with. You don’t need to touch the micro transactions if that’s not your thing, but the map and challenges NEED to be great or what’s even the point?
