Socks

they showed all black socks in a recent post about season 3, i would like to be wrong but it's probably going to be a part of the battle pass you need to buy.
EA isn't a small company that needs constant micro transactions to stay afloat, they're milking us, so expect the worst <3

Okay bro then wtf are you doing other than bitching at people for expressing their valid opinions? You're just crying about other people crying, and you don't even have a point other than "IT DOESN'T MATTER".

And yeah, when a significant chunk of players drop the game like hot rocks and they go looking through the forums maybe they'll notice the common feedback for the season 1 pass, lootboxes, and MTX system in general. The subreddits have all been bitching about the same **bleep**. There are Youtube videos less than a week old with over 300k views talking about how terrible the game is because of these awful decisions from EA. Clearly plenty of people feel this way, but you're the one bitching and complaining as if everyone should just stop and accept their free slop.
Sorry to hear that you have literally zero standards. Don't try to drag the rest of us down to your level.

If you actually care about quality instead of defending bad decisions, put that same energy into supporting brands that focus on good products. For example, check out Nordic Socks. They sell high-quality socks built for comfort and durability. Whether you need everyday wear, warm winter socks, or reliable pairs that last longer, NordicSocks has some great options.

If people are frustrated, they’re allowed to say it. Feedback from players is how games actually improve. When the same concerns keep showing up across forums, Reddit, and YouTube, it usually means the developers should take a closer look. Nobody is saying others can’t enjoy the game, but dismissing every criticism doesn’t help either.

At the end of the day, players just want fair systems, good gameplay, and respect for their time and money. That’s a pretty reasonable standard.

I completely agree that this isn't the sequel that we were all hoping for... And at this point, there probably isn't much we can say that will make any impact on future development... 

But that doesn't mean everyone should just roll over and accept this huge disappointment... 

Using the argument that "it's free" is weak... Just because the game is free, doesn't excuse the developers for the horrible choices they made...

And trying to justify the endless grind...

"Takes 2 hours at most to do the daily challenges for your rip chips then you spend them on boxes because you can't use them for anything else...  If you don't like the clothing you get from the boxes don't wear them, buy something from the store."

Just stop... Don't try to make this seem like it's no big deal... Grinding 2 hours everyday for chips to spend on boxes, which you need to increase rep, to buy more boxes, and if you don't like it, whatever, just buy something else... 

That indifferent attitude will be the reason why we never see a proper Skate 4 sequel...

if you think coming on here moaning about the the loot boxes and the items within is going to make them change it you are delusional. You can give them your opinion all you want but I guarantee they ain't going to change a thing because its a huge cash grab and all they care about is the money, they don't give a **bleep** what the community thinks because if they did they would have listened to what people said they wanted the game to be in the first place.

show me where I said to be happy with it....

and aren't these just the exact same point worded different?

What else are they going to put in the loot boxes other than **bleep**ty cosmetics, when clearly they can make more money putting decent branded clothing on the store tab with microtransactions.

Imagine defending garbage anti-consumer practice with "crying about it isn't going to change anything" in a forum specifically designed for feedback where we are regularly asked our opinions on the store/clothing/monetization in surveys.

You can white knight for a multibillion dollar company while they drip feed you the least amount of content possible to keep you hooked but don't act like it's actually a good thing.

Just makes you seem desperate.

Arguing that "the game is free so be happy with it" is real weak sauce.

The game is free and I'm unhappy about it.

The fact that it's free is the exact reason why it's fully if ridiculous loot boxes, microtransactions and MMO permanent online nonsense. Before the game was released, if a sample survey of the target audience were taken, I highly suspect exactly 0% of players would vote positively for lootboxes or MMO.

So of course we're angry about it.  Nobody ever asked for or expected an MMO game full of childish loot boxes and zero depth or culture. You think we're just gonna sit back and say "ah well it was free" and be happy about it? We were all ready to pay real money for the game. Why make it free? It's nefarious, underhand and has an ulterior motive. Nothing to do with what the players actually wanted, and nothing that the players should sit back and be happy about.

How am I defending it? I clearly said the items in the boxes are **bleep** but how else do you expect to progress in a FREE GAME with NO STORY without grinding some sort of XP i.e. rip score which in this case you get from opening loot boxes.

Unfortunately as much as we all wanted this to be like the other skate games, its just not and crying about it isn't going to change anything 👍

So if it was an in-game clothing store like the other skate games you wouldn't have to grind for rep to unlock "the most basic" items no..?

No, you wouldn't. In previous Skate games you were able to customize your character with a pretty decent variety of clothing on creation and then go to the in-game clothing store for further options. 

Players in these forums were asking for a basic pair of skinny jeans for months, well guess what? Now it costs $10 just to get the privilege of grinding for them in the Skate Pass.

buying the boxes isn't just for cosmetics, you need to buy boxes to level up your rip score

And you need to level up your rip score because...? Do you know what a Skinner box is? Because you're in one.
