Some good and bad things about Skate.

So I've been playing everyday since the early access came out, and I want to share my thoughts. 

Is it better than Skate 3? In some aspects yes, in some others no not really. I personally experienced that some of the tricks felt stiff and very unnatural to look at. The missions is a good addition to the game, however, some is very repetitive and sometimes it feels like I've done the same mission more than twice. The performance of Skate. is kind of clunky too. When I spawn in after a fresh restart of the game, it runs completely smooth, no stutters no nothing. If I teleport to a player, shop or buss stop my game gets progressively worse performance, from 180FPS - 40FPS and sometimes textures of objects seem to disappear. For example earlier today I teleported to a buss stop and the road texture was completely gone, it was total black and looked like a void. Some areas of the map lags more than others. Some mechanics feels very clunky, like climbing where my character somehow can't reach a ledge when he is far beyond it - I understand it's early access it will probably get better in future updates. 

The trick responsiveness feels very much worse than in Skate 3, sometimes when I drag my joystick down and up to do a regular Ollie, he crouches and stands up very quickly without actually doing the trick. This is however not that common. I wish for the rolling speed to be nerfed because you should prioritize using your skateboard in a skate game. Obviously a counter-argument would be to just not roll and just use your skateboard. My response is, absolutely, I do it a lot. But in what world would rolling be a core mechanic of a SKATE game? Not only that but the rolling is very glitchy, leading to some launch- glitches and even speed- glitches. When I played Skate. I also noticed that the "grind magnet" (when a player jumps next to a rail it assists the player to the rail for easier use) sometimes is very wonky. I have even experimented with this a lot and in different speeds. Sometimes the grind magnet works and sometimes is doesn't work and I can't really figure out why. I also don't like how you can grind forever. You could literally go AFK on a grind, come back and still be on the same rail. The Objectives also needs to be clearer I think. When it says "Make a Flip Trick in the marked area" my brain automatically assumes do to a front flip or backflip, it's literally in the name. Would it hurt to change it to something like" Make a Board Flip Trick in the marked area"? Would be a lot easier to understand too. 

Thanks to anyone who read this entire thing. Hopefully it's someone who has control behind-the-scenes and actually change some of these things. 

Thanks for me
