PS4 Load Times, Always Online Frustration

Playing on PS4 and the load times when returning to a session marker are really bad. It gets worse the farther away I am or the longer I have been playing, and it completely kills the flow.

I think the always online system is part of the problem. Resetting to a marker should not feel like it is loading half the map or waiting on servers.

I really wish this was not free to play. I would gladly pay 70 to 100 dollars for a full Skate game that works offline, has instant resets, and runs smoothly.

Right now the live service approach feels like it is hurting the core gameplay and alienating OG players. I hope improving load times and adding an offline free skate option are priorities.
