Offline/career mode
Forced multiplayer shouldnt be a thing. All gamers should have the ability to play games online or offline at their own will, this is a fantastic game to just cruise around and skate in. But its empty. Yes I know youre in a lobby with up to 100 people, but from my experience (playing on ps5) its a lobby of up to 100 people skating and doing THEIR OWN thing.
Now dont get me wrong I have had a few times where me and a random player have started messing around making a mini skate park and that was fun, but encounters like that are few and far between with the vast majority of players I come across just do their own thing. Ive even tried to send out party invites to try skating with other people and I get nothing back 🙃.
I guess my point is that I dont fully see this game accommodating all types of players, from my perspective the game seems to be only focused on the online social aspect which when it comes down to an introvert like myself, I dont see the appeal.
Having multiplayer isnt a bad thing, but there should be the option of "freeskate" the mmo aspect of the game as it stands now, and then there needs to be a career mode. I havent touched a single challenge or done any daily/weekly tasks in over a month. But with the addition of the new season I was loving the 2 "story missions" that were added, albeit short but it was nice and gave me a sense of what a proper career mode could be.
Im dead certain I wasted my time typing all this out as I know this likely will never happen since game companies no longer care to listen to EVERY PLAYER. They tend to listen to the ones that agree with their visions. Thanks for joining my Ted talk
