Gameplay fun, Optimization TERRIBLE
I spent about 3-4 hours getting this game to behave with my CPU because I love the skate series and refused to not play it because it was initially making my CPU constantly under load at 100c. I have a decent gaming rig, RTX 3070 Ti, i7-13700k, 3200 mhz 32gb DDR4, 240mm AIO on CPU. I literally had to go into my bios and change the PL1 and PL2 on my CPU from 240W to 125W and turn off Intel Adaptive Boost Technology. This still did not fix the issue, this game has serious FPS uncapped leakage as if you tab out of the game it will override and FPS settings you tried to cap it at in NVIDIA control panel and go back to uncapped. The only way to fix this was to use RTSS and set the game hard capped to 60 fps, with vsync on in the NVIDIA control panel to get rid of any screen tearing. After doing all of this I was finally able to get stable CPU temps with occasional peaks of 95c. Something needs to be fixed with the FPS in this game as it will eat up your CPU if not manually overridden using RTSS
