Deleted my game, you should too..

They had their chance, they missed it. This game is a slap in the face, devs have quite literally destroyed this franchise in three weeks of early access. I tried to love playing but have wasted my time in a soulless mess of lootboxes and paywalls. From the very first question “how important is skate culture?”, to the horrendous voice acting (sorry Sean, sorry David), to the disgusting cosmetics, to the very obvious cash grab called the skatepass. 

People have made comparisons to Fortnite but honestly, at least that game delivers. Buy the Fortnite season pass and it will pay itself forward. In Skate, it will take a minimum of four seasons in order to unlock the currency required to repurchase said skatepass.

I tried to love this game, but am not going to continue to support a franchise/developer who completely disrespects the core of it’s fanbase. Imagine the backlash from Fifa fans as EA asks, “how much do you REALLY care about this dumb sport?” and proceeded to replace the uniforms with skirts, tube tops and character models from The Sims. At least in The Sims, I can customize my avatar. 

I spent about two hours messing about in Season 1, deleted the game from my PlayStation and sincerely hope Full Circle is shut down and this game gets taken offline. Shame on everybody involved and good luck to anybody still holding out.

    Fair play to you.
    If I had a working PS3, I'd be doing the same.

    It's such a shame we wait 15 years for Skate 4, and then get this.

    I've never played Sessions, becuase I knew Skate 4 was coming out. Not it's here Sessions looks very tempting now.

    My last hope is that they listen to the fans and make some major changes. 

  • I’m going to play because it’s fun, but I agree that they are driving into the ground with the **bleep** cash grab. That part was to be expected, but the fact that even what they are selling is the most generic **bleep** and the skate pass I bought has no real brands only stuff that should’ve been in the game already.  They price this bull**bleep** as if it is even as good as what Fortnite has to offer but the designers in that game actually seem to put out art… not just color variations of a **bleep** crop top. They are pushing away long time fans of the franchise because of this soulless lack of artistic expression. Like guess what guys if you buy the skate pass you can unlock a striped polo and a backwards hat. Meanwhile I already bought two hats and can’t even put them on backwards like I could in skate 3… I enjoy the game but if they are gonna spit in the face of the fans and skate culture all together I’m not spending another dime on it.

    I'm gonna keep playing since even with all the issues I can still enjoy the core skating mechanics, but I'm not gonna spend a single cent, so unless EA adds an offline mode they're gonna lose money through me due to the server costs lol
