Bonelesses, no complies, all plants are really bad
For a game that was really marketing on stylish tricks, you would think these would look good. In real life, the boneless is meant to be boned out to the side. Hence the name. This is just a quick and weak plant. The no complies, only go to a quick no comply 180. why ??? What happened to the regular ones ?? The whole game to me looks like what someone who doesn’t skate but wants people to believe they skate would make. No one freaking cuffs their pants like the base green pants anymore. That fad died out in 2017. For a new game in early access it already feels outdated and out of touch with skateboarding.
Myself, along with many others grew up playing the skate franchise. (I got skate 3 for my 11th birthday. I played it for literally 15 years straight. I’ve skated practically my whole life. I’ve worked at a skateshop for years) and when I say this, I mean it in the nicest way possible. EA, you are doing the biggest disservice to a devoted and dedicated community and fanbase. And it really freaking sucks. Everyone knew the second the announcement was made that this game would be free to play was going to kill this game. And here we are. Do you do this on purpose ?? To kill off another franchise and further ruin your reputation ?? You literally had a perfect opportunity to make a decent game. But instead you had to chase the bottom line and line your pockets with more money spent from children who have access to their parents credit cards.
I want to like this game. I really want to support it. But you are making it so fugging hard. And for the love of god, please fix the vert and transition skating. Even skate 3 did it better with skating bowls than this game. AND FIX THE PLANTS IN VERT AS WELL. That is what prompted me to even write this, was because of how frustrating skating transition is. Super clunky. Pumping sucks. It takes a lot to even lock in a front 5-0. Such a disgrace fr.
