7 PLY MAPLE HARVEST TRASH
Another terrible AI slopped out park. More generic trash items. Thanks for killing a franchise in one season. Where is Hall of Meat? Where is S.K.A.T.E.? Where are the competitions? Where are the Pro Skaters? Where are the death races? Where is the skate culture? Where is the story mode? Why do the characters look like they are from The Sims/Fortnite? Why is the language censored?Option to play offline
Can we please have an option to play offline? All of the moving pieces and characters makes the game lag and makes it impossible to enjoy the game. I personally don’t like playing online games and prefer to just enjoy them by myself and I hate that I’m stuck skating around with randoms. Not only that, it slows everything down and makes challenges impossible. The glitches and lags make me not want to play because it disrupts the gameplay. This doesn’t need to be an online game, give me the option to turn that off.What’s happening with the physics!!?
I play the game since early access and the game was almost perfect at first but every update seems to break the physics a little more. It’s the first game I see that gets worse and worse updating. A lot of challenges are not doable anymore and a lot more will be if it continue.
My top 20 frustrations/complaints/suggestions for skate.
I was filling out the Season 1 survey and going to include all of this, but halfway through doing it they apparently ended it and are "not accepting additional responses at this time" so... I guess I'll just paste my whole thing here instead. idk if any dev is actually going to bother reading all this, but if so then thanks and sorry for it being so much. I tried to order it from most to least important (in my opinion, of course). The grind for Rip Chips and Tix is miserable now. It's so slow! Please, fans are more likely to return to the game and buy the battle pass when it's easier to finish, not harder and grindier! I hate that the game is online-only and there's no way to play offline or host a P2P/LAN server. I don't like spending money on online-only games knowing that one day they'll be shut down. Please plan for the future and make sure all the work you guys have put into this game will be preserved. I wish battle passes were permanent. Please look at Helldivers 2 and Halo Infinite for how much better a consumer-friendly permanent battle pass system can be. It leads to more sales in the long term than FOMO does! Bailing is so finicky in this game, it feels like the detection for it is slightly broken. I often just get thrown off a grind for no reason. There's no way to disable the vert magnitization or tone down that assist. I'll often be trying to grind a rail or just ollie over something but instead magnetize to some far away ramp and my whole character goes sideways. There's no text chat! For an MMO-like experience this is so disappointing, I have no way to talk to randoms and meet up on the map or anything! The "low camera" setting isn't accurate to the original skate's low camera view. I want it to be a bit lower and closer to the board. Please either replicate that camera view from the original, or just let me manually adjust the camera position and angle in settings? There's no setting to disable the chromatic aberration effect that gives me a headache. The object dropper having a limit of a measly FIVE objects is so limiting, you can't do much with that. Please increase it quite a bit and also let us save the objects we've placed so they load back in the next time we launch the game. Disabling Vee under audio settings doesn't remove her annoying, repetitive voicelines that play at the start and end of every challenge. Almost every time I launch the game it tries to run at some lower resolution rather than my desktop resolution, and it screws up the position and sizes of all my open windows. Drives me nuts. Frequently when playing my mouse cursor will appear for a bit in the middle of my screen, usually after challenges. The lack of any indoor locations is disappointing. I'd love to see an indoor mall to skate around, for example. Clothes are way, way too baggy and massive. It makes my character look like they gained 100 pounds! Where's the nice form-fitting jeans and shirts? There's no way to block songs, or have only songs I've favorited show up in the open world/during challenges. There are certain songs I hate hearing so much, please! There's no way to skip forward a song in the music player. When doing a line challenge if you complete one goal it'll cross it out, even though you need to do the whole thing in one attempt. After it crosses a goal out you can no longer tell your current progress on that goal in your next attempt. This is really low on the scale of importance (hence me putting it near the bottom), but I'm not a fan of how every costume so far either looks like it was made of paper mache or cardboard. I was really hopeful that Isaac Clarke would return to this game, he was my favorite character to use in skate 3! I kept asking if he'd return on skate's social media leading up to release lol. I was very disappointed that what we instead got was an unappealing cardboard box costume version of him. I would gladly have given you guys some money if you had just ported over the skate 3 model (aka the OG Dead Space model). Quite a few emotes can't be done while you're on your board. I really love the ones that let you do that, can we get that for all of them? Like "Running Man," for example. Currently when doing emotes it'll mute the music whether it be from your music player or the open world, I'd rather it not do that.Dying game
I jumped into Skate 4 hoping for a skateboarding game. What I got instead feels like a fashion catalog with a skateboard cameo. The gameplay is fine, but the whole experience is so bland it is almost impressive, like the developers deliberately removed anything that resembles personality. But the real star of the show is the wardrobe. Every clothing option looks like it was designed by a committee whose only reference for skate culture was a Pride parade and a Pinterest board. It is almost funny how hard the game pushes “Look how inclusive we are!!” every time you try to customize your skater. Subtlety is completely gone. If the developers focused half as much on depth, mechanics, and actual skate culture as they did on adding dozens of rainbow themed crop tops, the game might have been something special. Instead, it feels less like Skate and more like a corporate diversity training session with ollies. Maybe next time, dial back the forced messaging and put that energy into the gameplay.If you don't change something, this game will die.
I'm really trying to enjoy this game; I've been playing for 80 hours now (which is very little compared to other skateboarding games I've played, where gameplay time is measured in hundreds, if not thousands, of hours). However, I have a serious problem with SKATE: it's simply boring. Until now, I've been completing tasks, completing them over and over again until I reached level 10 in each district, and let me tell you, it was simply exhausting. However, I don't think I've ever started this game just to play, skate, explore... I've been waiting until I feel like it, and I DON'T. I keep wondering what the main problem is, and I think it's the controls. After years of playing SKATER XL and SESSIONS, we're accustomed to very precise gameplay, to controls that allow us to hit the railing with our truck at the right angle. If something didn't work out in those games, it was clearly my fault, so I want to play more and get better. In Skate, it's like I'm trying to do a boardslide, and the rail pulls my board up, and pretty much ANYTHING happens. I feel like I'm back in some arcade Game Boy game where you have to press buttons quickly and carelessly. Like I'm playing a stripped-down Tony Hawk. The only thing I enjoy is riding ramps and doing grabs, because other games couldn't handle that, and SKATE does it more or less okay. Another problem is the game's lack of skate culture. It lacks skateboarding brands, skateboarding personalities, and anything related to skateboarding culture; the game is culturally sterilized. Then there's the lack of a story. I don't know if a story would have saved this game. Maybe it would have encouraged me to play another few hours, but it still won't keep me glued to this game for hundreds of hours. However, the lack of a story is a major flaw. And this whole fuss about some kind of monetary system is just laughable. I enter the game, hoping to have some fun, and today I get a message saying I've received some coins. You can guess where I got them. What am I supposed to do with them? Buy a dress just to stay bored in it? As a final icing on the cake, we can add the long animation for opening these packages that often breaks, showing you opening the same thing twice, and in the end, you still get some crap like a sticker you don't want. On top of that, you can't edit your character's stats, speed, ollie height, flip speed... it's a disaster. This way, I can't use the board to its full potential because there's only one rail height I can jump on. Everything else is out of my reach because my character skates slowly and jumps low. YOU'RE KILLING THIS GAME RIGHT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. In my opinion, this game is made by people who have no love for skateboarding games, and above them are people who prioritize making money from the game, and that way you won't make any money because the game will die. Thanks EA .....Problems with inconsistency of ollies and other tricks.
Trying to grind a dozen or so times, my character does a very small ollie one time, and an exceptionally large one the next... the inconsistency is glaring and very irritating. Clearly, it's not up to me whether the trick works or not; it's some kind of mechanic with a life of its own, and I have to rely on its mercy. It's simply ridiculous how poorly this game is made.
Get Rid of Scroll Bar for Tasks
This is extremely low priority when there are countless other problems like broken co-op, broken progression, an absolutely abysmal in-game rewards economy and an egregious cash shop in an early access game. But this should also be an extremely easy fix. So why does it exist? The bottom 2 tasks are already partially visible, so just move some things around, resize them and let us see all 6 at once. It can stay for the seasonal set, since there's actually kind of a reason for it, but when we also had 3 sets of Skate-o-ween tasks in addition to the daily and weekly tasks, there were 5/6 task sets with a scroll bar, hiding information that should be easily viewable. The tasks page also has a weird problem with excessive padding and a LOT more unused space than any other menu page. So to fix these problems, I made a couple very professional edits to a screenshot I took of the weekly tasks from a few weeks ago. The first edited screenshot shows the massive waste of screen real estate in red, with cyan boxes around the problem areas, and arrows indicating the direction they could move. The second edited screenshot has those same areas outlined in magenta, showing their new, happy homes, with arrows indicating where elements could be stretched or compressed to fit the space better and therefore provide more information without a cumbersome scroll bar. In this edited screenshot, I even kept the crazy large border and internal padding, so things don't feel too cramped. Also included are the unedited screenshot I used as a basis, and the final, very good version that I'm proposing, without the outlines and comments obscuring the layout. One final thing relating to the justifiable scroll bar on the seasonal task list: can we at least get an option to pin tasks? Either to the in-game HUD or to the top of the task list. Both options that I've seen in other games. It would at least partially mitigate the annoyance of having to constantly scroll to check progress.FUTURE MAJOR & MINOR UPDATES/CONTENT
What’s up everyone, I’m an advocate player of the skate series as most of us are. And as most of us we can agree that we’ve been waiting for a skate game like this! But I think There’s so much untapped potential in this game that EA isn’t giving us which makes this beloved franchise look like a money grab. It’s sad to think that about a game I’m so attached to from childhood but it’s realistic. MAJOR ADDED CONTENT: -SKATE COMMUNITY XGAMES/EVENTS I think it would be a fantastic idea not only for the game but for skate culture itself, to hold “SKATE GAMES” or 20 skater event that gives decent well deserved rewards & well as gives decent xp, this can tie into utilizing sum of the cool skate park already made on the map. -PLAYER CUSTOME SKATE PARK COMPETITION bringing the whole new editing style we have in skate has made building sum of the most insane spots possible. I think we should pay tribute to players & offer them a chance to have their skate park added to either a roof of a big building or adding a section to the game for “created player parks”. these are honestly just some ideas that I have but I think would really boost the player time in the game as well as boost content longevity :) LMK WHAT YOU THINKMore customisation
First off I just wanna say I enjoy the game and it's great to see skate back, I love pulling off all the tricks and think you guys done a great job with that in my opinion. Please add more in body customisation though like for example there should be more body types or ways to increase how muscular or curvaceous or skinny or slim or whatever my character is. Also more clothing items that modern skaters wear and accessories like earrings, bracelets, chains. thank you.Skate Ideas, and Appreciation :-)
Hey, I filled out the survey, but here's some more specificity of what I actually enjoy about the game, along with suggestions for game improvements. I'm hoping someone from the development team finds this. Thanks for reading, I hope this resonates with others who play the game... Suggestions: Incorporate skill points/attributes, i.e. technical versus vert skating/transition skating, etc. Level-up in the style of Fallout, where you can pick special items/tricks, etc., from a menu Since you can get going pretty fast, space out some of the lines where there's one rail or stair set after another, allowing for more time to setup for another trick. Allow sticker size/rotation/placement options on your board. As a skater I never place stickers directly on the nose, tail, middle of my board as it causes your board to stick when you nose/tail/board/lipslide, etc. Allow clothing size/bagginess to be modified for each clothing item. Take "body flips" out of any street-oriented line, as a trick requirement. For the grind transitioning, i.e. rotating from a 5-0 to a crooked grind or something similar, make it more precise instead of just rotating around all over the place. This function, though, I really like and am glad it's incorporated into the game, it just needs to be refined. For "Window Shopping" challenge, make the highlighted manual area sloped downhill so you are able to gain/maintain speed to be able to clear the stairs. For "Flip Out" challenge, please remove the body flip. For "Change of Pacer" challenge, please add more space between the kinked rails/stair sets. Same for "Making the News." Incorporate difficulty levels where once you play all missions on regular, you can level-up and try to beat challenges on tougher settings. Incorporate real life Pros somehow, or let me skate as a Pro. Please :) Enable picture upload/face capture where you can skate as yourself in the game. I know this is far out there for probability, but design real life skate spots from videos. Downtown LA, Chicago, New York, Portland, etc. I understand that vert has to be in a park, to a degree, but I don't want to skate a street skatepark in a video game. I want to go hit up Hollywood High, the spots I see online that I dream of being able to skate (if I were anywhere near that good obviously). Even segmenting this game to different cities would be insanely good. For difficulty, consider adding cops, security guards, douchey people who try to mess with you while you're skating, etc. Add in a storyline for coming up in the ranks. Sponsor-me video creation, riding for a small shop before being sponsored by big companies, and then stuff like making your own board, shoes, etc., when you go pro. What I like: Game mechanics, ease of playability. I haven't played another skate game where you could really just pick up and play the game. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater maybe, but that game is too over-the-top for me to really enjoy playing it. Even though I would not/have not done a Slappy in real life, I actually like it in the game because in real life I would never just flat-out run into a curb; it makes for a smoother incorporation of the experience of roaming the streets, especially since my eye-sight isn't always the best at picking up what in the game is a curb and what is just a color variation on the road/sidewalk imagery. As stated above, the transitioning into and out of a grind is great, I like that you can pop out of a grind! For the over-the-top, ridiculous-ish challenges, my favorite one is where you have to Christ Air through the skylight. It's obsurd, but at least it's fun to try to get it right. For a ridiculous challenge, I also like "Flip With a View." My absolute favorites, to name a few are as follows: Know the Ledges The B-Line & the C-Line ... oddly enough it's the ledge at the very first stair set that I like skating because it's harder to lock in every time, like it's just out of reach to nail different flip-in variations. That's what keeps me coming back. Haul Most Butt is great for the ledges and obstacles that are set up, it's long distanc and makes for great lines :) Ledge Lord Waxed Gardens Truck Tester Grave Ridings Marquee Line Wall-Carver (the speed is great for trying to thread the needle) Don't Look Down Foliage Flicker Deep Bench Cut the Corner Just Passing Through Salmon Run Gettin' Tubular Gap Out Upper Lowers The Headline Again, thanks for reading this. Overall, I love this game even with its problems. I am grateful to all of the time and effort that has been poured into this iteration of Skate. i will still never stop playing this game :-) Chris B.season pass is a complete and utter joke...
the season pass is a complete ripoff. you cant get even near enough tix to unlock everything without having to buy EVEN MORE tix. how is this game gonna charge so much for items (seriously, $26 for ONE outfit and ONE skateboard? not even a real brand?) and charge for a season pass, and you still have to pay for more tix to get the season pass things you already paid for? for real, when is enough enough? i get its a free to play and this is all optional, but theres a HUGE difference in "collecting funding for your game", and "straight up robbing your whole player base, who are the ones keeping this game alive, for every single penny they have", and then still acting like they need more. this is honestly my only major gripe with this game (also vee can stfu >.<). but they are WAYYY too OVERLY greedy with the cash grab, and they need to chill tf out.different pop length between players
so, me and my friend usually play together, we have the same settings, til 99% still , lets say we jump into a kicker and get lot of speed, then pop out from another kicker, we have totally different heights and lengts, we have tried flicking late, early, middle, he still gets more "pop" has anyone experienced this? and yes we have the pop height etc on the same settings.
