You’re removing the good stuff

  I logged on today and 8 of my favorited songs were just gone, including my favorite one by Royel Otis. Not sure if it’s a bug or intentional but i don’t see a point in removing music. 
  I think there should be a choice for where your music plays, and STAYS there. For example I would start my liked playlist and I’d get a couple songs in before it just starts playing on a in-game speaker nearby. I’d then have to go back and play a song from the playlist again to listen to my music. 
  I will hear a song in the shop and want to go out of the shop to add it to my favorites, and the song will stop playing. 
  There should also be more accessibility with the playlists. Shuffle, repeat, etc. As of now, the playlist seems to shuffle no matter what.
  A lot of glitches have been found in early access and some of them are annoying and some of them are great. I understand that a developer doesn’t want their game to have glitches but a glitch like the flying and speed ones are a reason I had so much fun playing sometimes. I enjoy skating with friends of course but flying at high speeds and slamming into things is unbeatable.
  When I was a low level player, something I found annoying was the inability to activate fast travel points. The climbing is a cool feature but 1. it takes way too long and is too janky to climb anything and 2. I don’t want to have to do it again later when I unlock the fast travel.
  Since skate is a very casual game at times, a weather and time-of-day feature would be cool. Something where I can change the specific aesthetic I’m feeling but doesn’t affect the way the game plays. 
  I’m sure it’s been mentioned before, but sometimes the camera height will change to low on its own, usually in a challenge. My friend and I have both experienced this. You also can’t go in the menu during a challenge so you have to finish it or quit to change it back to high. 
  I understand everyone has different preferences when it comes to style, aesthetics, and art. But to me it seems like most things in the shop and progression boxes are not skater inspired. It’s very bright and saturated. So many peach colored things.. The skate pass has some better stuff though. I’m fine with a cartoony style game but it can have some character to it still. The game is meant to include younger audiences which is great. But the game as of now is very Cocomelon-like in its rewards and items. I guess what I’m trying to say is don’t be fortnite just cause it has a “pass” and give us some skating grime as well as the goofiness of skate 3, like the slab of meat. Which didn’t have to be a costume. (P.s. things don’t need to make sense. ImpervaTEK was so unnecessary) 

Love.

Please and thank you,

    You watch! They will start removing all the good songs and make players pay for them thru the battle pass like fortnite!

    So scummy

  • Well said, OP.  I was disappointed to learn many of my favourite tracks were removed from the game.  Admittedly, this is sufficient to be considered a dealbreaker for me.  I officially won’t be playing any further music from the game.  I’m one more lousy decision away from quitting this game for good.

    They removed my favourite skate spot by the banks, replaced this awesome natural kicker -over these hedges- to ledge to drop down with a stupid ugly flower bed which has deemed it entirely unskatable now. Now I see they’re changing up some of the cosmetics colours….. Then removing songs on top of it all?

    Unbelievable huh. 

  • What really gets me is that there’s such a high proportion of songs that are entirely disconnected from skate culture on the playlist. When I see acts like 2Hollis, Julisa, or Ocean Wisdom, it looks very much like EA’s corporate music department has come in with a quota of sports title crossover tracks that the devs have to include. It’s tonally jarring, forming another front of the ‘devoid of skate culture’ war that the devs have to fight now. EA couldn’t let them have free creative reign, and that is what is jeopardising this title.
