Long time fan, love the game, but I hope it gets better.

 I started playing skate 3 on my 360 back when it came out, and like many my age it got me into skateboarding and I've played it many times through the years. 

I really enjoy this evolution of the franchise. skating with people is always fun especially since we can build together, I even had a guy accidentally extend my grind at the last second. the new movement really useful and even a little fun. I like the physics both on and off board. The myriad of settings are totally awesome and I was able to customize it exactly how I wanted.

Now what I'm not so fond of. The whole voice from the sky/implied earpiece thing sucks, it sucks so bad, it sucks. where are the people? It's just sad. and it goes with another thing I don't like, how missions are handled. They just start as soon as you unlock them with some person randomly starting to talk to you and making you feel forced to complete the mission immediately,  it sucks, just as much as the sky voice. 

Missions should pop up in your map and there should be a person at a location that gives you said mission, maybe they can be in some of the missions too. 

Clothing is also a bit lazy, like noticably so, alot of them are just straight recolors with zero variation, just a few slight adjustments can go a ways to make clothes feel new.

Party games are most definitely needed I think, especially community party games. think of games like Forza horizon, NFS, destiny, diablo, that have those world/public event. Death races returning would be very welcome.

I do hope there is a texture overhaul before they decide it's finished.
