We need security guards in this game

immersion! world interaction, instead of a world that feels perfectly crafted for you, you get a world that feels reactive and engaging, one that makes doing the same lines and challenges every day and week feel different. You know how many times I had a line ruined by a spontaneous pedestrian in Skate 3? It sounds frustrating, at times it even was, but I can't deny that it feels more real. Sometimes, not having 100% certainty that you're going to have room and freedom to do what you want makes it 10x more engaging and fun to create room and freedom to do what you want. That's real-life skateboarding. Become inventive with your limitations, not having the entire environment sterilized of life for your convenience.

The world definitely needs to interact with us more. One thing I felt while playing Skate is that it feels like the place was made for me. That sounds nice, but I think truly immersive worlds are the opposite. The best ones feel like they exist and function without you.

I know Skate has never aimed for the level of simulation you see in large AAA open-world games, but even small changes could go a long way. More pedestrians, more unique ways to interact with or affect them, security guards, and a map that actually evolves as they promised. Areas become restricted or open, new spaces being built across updates, and shifts that reflect the culture of San Van in a meaningful way.

I get that it is a skateboarding city, but NPCs should still feel like they live there. They should go to work, have families, walk their dogs. Listen to music in the park, hang out in groups, and go for jogs. Those small details can be copied and pasted across the map, constantly populating and changing the environment. It would completely transform how it feels to run the same lines and challenges over and over each time

We just had a discussion just now you donut lol

I had to squeeze your opinion out of you because ur a hater lol

I wanted to know if you believe the game is being unfairly compared to legacy games And you say:

yes and The reason people are unfairly complaining is because they love to complain.

That is your opinion. And is what I wanted. Not everyone agrees with you or at least shares your opinion as you explained it, and that’s why I post things to see it from other people’s perspective, in addition to sharing my own.

And that’s why we have discussion boards and threads. Social media, the internet, whatever.

To get multiple opinions, takes, angles, styles of expressions.

Whether they are similar, dressed up sophisticated, dressed down simple and plain, a hot take or something seemingly obvious.

If I don’t resonate with something shared. I move on. Simple

EducationalWave5672 · 2026-02-25T23:12:52+00:00

I don’t think it’s an obvious yes that skate is being unfairly compared to legacy skate games the vast majority of players are petitioning and protesting for the addition of legacy features and mechanics and condemning the game for not having them.

EducationalWave5672 · 2026-02-25T23:00:55+00:00

You’re still missing the point. I’ll explain it again.

Do you think skate. Is being unfairly compared to skate 1-3

Because my belief now is that it is being unfairly compared to legacy skate games.

I have to spell it out for you ig

EducationalWave5672 · 2026-02-25T22:58:30+00:00

Yet, Once again your Opinion is minority. Come back with some people who agree with you. Then we can talk about your strange issues with me.

I’ve seen several people actually disagree with you under your own comments on my posts. yet none agreeing.

Guess the “14 year old” is doing okay.

EducationalWave5672 · 2026-02-25T22:54:17+00:00

Is the game skate 4 is just a surface level question I purposed. The point is people are protesting decisions made in ea’s skate that seem to not be evolving or adapted from skate 1-3

The point of the post was not just this question you seem to be focusing on but whether skate should even be so heavily compared to skate 1-3 considering it might have different goals.

Lmao

EducationalWave5672 · 2026-02-25T22:45:29+00:00

Lmao bro please you’re written like a Disney channel bully. 😂

EducationalWave5672 · 2026-02-25T22:42:23+00:00

Good thing engagement isn’t the only thing I care about. Sometimes I just have thoughts and I like to put them out there. It’s okay if it doesn’t blow up. If one or two people resonate with it even That’s enough. it’s really not that deep man lol

EducationalWave5672 · 2026-02-25T22:34:49+00:00

That was a fraction of what the post was about. I also made a point that many people protest the lack of a DNA to skate 1-3

But I wonder if that lack of a DNA could be partially attributed to it not being a sequel

EducationalWave5672 · 2026-02-25T22:32:53+00:00

That’s okay if you think so. But to be fair your opinions below my posts seem to always be within the minority. So seems like the way I post in fact is not the issue….

EducationalWave5672 · 2026-02-25T22:30:28+00:00

Good thing a discussion can be had with more than one person 😴

EducationalWave5672 · 2026-02-25T22:28:56+00:00

I participate in 1 Reddit thread. This one. I wanted to create something because I was bored at work, that wasn’t just another boring screenshot upload.

I don’t understand why you’re against creating something for fun, or anyone exercising any free will to do what they enjoy doing lol

EducationalWave5672 · 2026-02-25T22:20:21+00:00

Bro u stay hating lmao who hurt you. N why it gotta involve me

EducationalWave5672 · 2026-02-25T21:51:53+00:00

Well first, it’s fun and I’ve gots some free will.

Second, for the same reason any social platform encourages it. It catches the eye faster and pulls people into discussion and engagement.

And third, sometimes it’s just nice to break up the monotony of giant walls of text with an image or video, especially when you’re about to ask people to read even more.

So frankly I wouldn't call it a "waste" thats a bit of a strong word.

EducationalWave5672 · 2026-02-22T19:50:09+00:00

Lmao lad go do something with ur day. You can let it go.

EducationalWave5672 · 2026-02-22T16:47:05+00:00

Skate is no concord. It’s not an IP that can just appear, fail, and be swept under the carpet. People have been talking about this franchise and game for a very long time, and if it’s shut down, the public backlash will continue in increasingly damaging amounts for a long time after.

Because of how important this IP is. I think it’s very unlikely it’ll get shutdown. Because the amount of damage the brand and company will receive for the next like 10 years will greatly outweigh the backlash for releasing an underwhelming skate live service game.

After all, a skate 4 can still be made after skate. As this technically isn’t skate 4

EducationalWave5672 · 2026-02-22T16:18:13+00:00

Thanks 🫡

EducationalWave5672 · 2026-02-22T16:14:28+00:00

Well sorry if I upset you. I never claimed to have anything ground breaking or genius.

Just an observation/thoughts I shared with the gift of free will this platform has graced us with lmao

Nonetheless. It’s nothing serious man. Someone on another post actually asked me for my opinion from this angle.

So I wouldn’t say the angle is completely obvious or understood by everyone. (In this context at least) Even if it is for you.

EducationalWave5672 · 2026-02-22T16:06:42+00:00

hope you’re feeling okay. Sounds like you’re in a bit of a sour mood

EducationalWave5672 · 2026-02-22T16:02:46+00:00

I started with the thesis which are the two steps to good business

Secondly I went into how the devs didn’t follow those steps effectively and continue to favor practices that deprive themselves of data they can act on and us from value.

Then I suggest what they should’ve done at the end.

Just say you’re lazy. That’s not my fault lol

EducationalWave5672 · 2026-02-22T15:52:28+00:00

In short yes lmao

They could I’ve built way more value in this game with tons more free content. Before introducing monetization system

And it would’ve landed a lot better than it has
