no one likes how the game looks.
the visual updates somehow have made the characters look like they all have a rash of some sorts. what we meant by "update" or "change" the visual style is make the game look real. like the others...

you are really trying hard to not get what im saying.
im saying even the male faces. look feminine. there is no distinct differences to make a face male/female in this game unless you put a beard on your person to signify that you are in fact male. your male character. looks feminine. my male character. looks like a girl with a beard. because not only does every face choice look kind of like a girl. every hairstyle is feminine. there are maybe 5 i could count of hair styles that would be for guys. the rest are for women. you are a guy with long hair? hope you dont mind looking like a stylized diva while skating.
oh you wanted to customize your characters body? the only sliders for customization are for your **bleep**, your hips and **bleep**. almost like they made all their character customization catered for women
it feels thoroughly that they made an extreme sports expansion for sims and decided "oh hey we got that skat IP on the back burner" and added a flick it system.
I’m genuinely not, but chocolatekake beat me to it, you’re complaining about an art style with no effort given. You can’t give a single reason why they look feminine besides a lack of hair options which is wrong? Believe it or not men have long hair and it can look just as nice as a woman’s head of hair without making someone a diva. Not to mention season 2’s visual pass reduced the amount of makeup on all of the feminine eyes making them even less “diva”-like. If your character looks bad it’s because you don’t like the art style, if you think they look like a woman then that’s a lack of effort. My friends made passable characters in 5 minutes on their first login and they look mostly like themselves. My guy looks just like me, if he look me feminine it’s because I probably have feminine features. Most guys I run into in game very obviously look like men. Focus your complaints, we’re only here making a case because we don’t want your unfocused argument to ruin what we’re enjoying. lol
yes i agree, having an androgynous game style isnt my cup of tea. a long with the people choosing not to play this garbage because of it.
let me blow your mind. i have long hair irl. im a bi man. ive always skate in my free time.
what i dont like is forcing this weird androgynous mess. im a man at the end of the day regardless of my likes. i dress hetero and i dont want the equivalent of e-waste in my character selection screens and baked into my progression.
i want it just as easy to make my character to look like a man as it is to make my character look like a Pilipino women.
are you stoked about getting short shorts and tu-tus in your boxes that you are FORCED to get to progress?
the old games made women apart of the stories by giving them pivotal roles in the game itself not by making the entire game with girl stuff. they just made it available. thats apparently a crazy concept for yall that the dev's instead of trying to wrangle in new people by legitimately pandering they could just make something good.are you stoked about getting short shorts and tu-tus in your boxes that you are FORCED to get to progress?
There aren't any "tu-tus" in the game, and the shortest shorts in the game only go a few inches above your knee, which plenty of real men wear. They're not even actual "short shorts." Not only that, but there's dozens of longer shorts and pants in the game. You're whining about what, that they have a variety of clothing options? That you claimed the cosmetics in boxes and now you're upset by just the mere existence of them in your apparel menu?
And you're not "forced" to get boxes, literally what are you talking about? Don't get the boxes if they don't have any cosmetics you want? You don't need them, I'm level 10 in all three districts and I didn't open every box.
Also you keep saying the game has an "androgynous" character style and yet I see in this thread someone's already given you examples of masculine male faces you can make in this game. You just don't know how to use the character creator, apparently.
what you are enjoying stylistically has lost 90% of its player base since launch while its counter with a realistic style have gone up a steady 60-80% every month since skates launch.
almost like no one likes the choice of style in the game except you guys.
the only reason im on it at this point is too hold the company accountable because all they have done is lie to the community and provide nothing but recycled missions and microtransactionsI too like to pull random statistics out of my **bleep**. Do you have a single bit of evidence to prove that "90%" of the playerbase has stopped playing since launch, and it's because of this game's artstyle?
skirts* sorry not tu-tus you right.
that statistic isnt pulled out of my ahh. lemme grab the numbers right quick.
lost 98% of the player base since launch sorry G my bad.
i wish i was able to get the numbers for players going back to skate 3 but those are archived. i thoroughly believe that this game has no player base because when people opened it up and saw how it looked. they were disappointed like i was. then proceeded to be disappointed by the corny events/no consistent updates to physics.
youd think if they went for a style thats easier to model that they would focus on making more options for looks of the rip? or putting more effort into the physics/ actual new tricks? but instead its getting the bare minimum in every single way except for microtransactions before launch. ya know the number 1 thing people want in an unreleased game. right?
I'm fully grasping your point. It's just that your point is complete nonsense. What does a "man" face shape look like? Do you really need to be babied, step-by-step through the character creation process with each face shape, so that you can see which ones can be made masculine enough for your shifting goalposts?
Are you stoked about getting t-shirts and hats in your boxes that you AREN'T forced to get to progress? The game is not entirely made with girl stuff you weirdo. If you don't like it, don't wear it. Or make a better suggestion like "It would be great if we could just choose which clothing to buy instead of relying on a random loot box."
I saw some of these ridiculous complaints before, so not too long ago I actually counted the loot box cosmetics, since I have every single one of them. Since you seem to be freakishly averse to "girl things", I'll categorize them into "boys" and "girls" clothes, like we're back in the 1960's. There are 8 bras/crop tops, 7 skirts/leggings and 3 dresses. That's 18 "girl" clothing items. 20 if you want to be a real stodgy loser and count the 2 pairs of short shorts. For everything else, there's 37 tops, 21 bottoms and 3 outfits that are "boy" or neutral clothing items, for a total of 61. 59 excluding the shorts. Now, which is the bigger number, 18 or 61? 20 or 59?You actually just described why most people have left. Recycled missions and microtransactions. And also the game is unfinished and has a lot of really annoying, persistent bugs. Lots of people indeed aren't a fan of the artstyle, but if that's what makes you give up playing a game that you otherwise think is fun, that's on you. You continuing to play the game is not holding the company accountable when all you're doing in this thread is complaining that you can't make your character look masculine enough for your sensitive tastes.
the reason i have my opinion is look at those items.
if you think im counting recolors of blank t-shirts. im not
if you think im counting shoes period. im not.
because i think its beyond lazy that recolors even exist in the game as something to unlock.
you notice how the only graphic tee unlock is a crop top? you notice how theres 10 full rainbow items you gotta unlock? that every pair of socks is thigh high?
im not even trying to be "edgy" its a opinion based on what ive seen provided.
for men the unlocks are "hey we got like a grey v neck. you dont like that? grey round sweatshirt with no logo? dam. how about blue hoodie no logo? you dont like getting 3 of the same pair of black pants? ugh youre picky; oh you wanted skater branded shoes? thatll be 6-8$ sorry fam you are asking too much"
meanwhile on the more feminine end "hey yo you want graphic crop tops? skirts for days? we got you dock martins with glitter laces in the battlepass for free just for you. we added k-pop dances with pink pants the whole nine sister the skate world is yours take it; its yours"
its almost like they are trying to appease to a female not even skater audience. wouldnt you think?
and why im still playing? because EA has said since day one that the voice of the community matters. if i dont test out the game how will i have any opinion to give for any kind of hope to change the direction of the game.
but yeah you right honestly i should be like the other 98% of players and just leave and not come back trueeeeee
