Yeah, if they don't take community feedback seriously, this game will flop. As is, it doesn't have the staying power right now, that the original franchise brought. With all the microtrans. BS they are relying on heavily to ramp up their profit margins, I don't hold much hope.
I don't even care so much about that, honestly. I just want the soul of Skate to eventually start shining through as the game develops. But for real. They need to listen to everyone in these threads. Especially og Skate fans. We propped them up for 15 years replaying Skate (2&3 mostly) online. Keeping the hype alive. Holding out for the next in that style of the series. This is a far-cry from what we wanted.... but it's what we got. Now we just have to neg the **bleep** out of the devs to make it right... lol
