Incompetence

Being a skate.insider playtester, I can say without a shadow of a doubt, not a single bug was fixed/smoothed out before "release" into early access. I am also strongly convinced not a single dev on the team working this game other than "community manager" ACTUALLY plays the game or has even touched Skate 1-3. I am experiencing these bugs STILL on both PS5 and PC.

E.g.

1. If its a zone that requires a transfer or jumping from one rail to the other, 90% of the time it will NOT register. Almost as if there is constant desync and the game is registering your character a whole board length behind you when doing a trick in a zone. 

2. When returning to session marker, the tv static sound will get stuck on even though you try to respawn again.

3. When coming into a grind, no matter the "grind assistance" amount and depending on the landscape, a lot of times you'll follow the terrain near the rail/ledge, instead of the OBVIOUS spot you are already grinding, forcing your skater flat out like a plank and slamming.

4. Almost EVERY SINGLE "spot" you people set up for us to complete, is bugged. On top of that, when in a grind on a simple rail with 0 obstructions for your board, doing a mere ollie will send you flying off your board like a rocket ship.

5. Speaking of grinding, the ENTIRE map is plagued with ledges/rails that are just pure cancer. Their physical properties and geometry are waaay off. Causing wheels to catch. 50-50's and board slides will come to a halt even though the wheels aren't obstructing. And to top it off, you'll try to transition from 5-0 to tail slide and your broken game just assumes I'm done with the grind and throws me off.

Best part of all is the game is called Skate. but you can't even play S.K.A.T.E....

This game is an abysmal pile of dog crap that is a clear cash grab for EA.

NOT A SINGLE PERSON WHO PLAYED SKATE 1-3 WANTED AN ALWAYS ONLINE EXPERIENCE EITHER. 

We want multiplayer at our own discretion, i.e. inviting friends to a SINGLE PLAYER WORLD FOR CO-OP.

I can't speak for all people. But no joke, if you would've made a Skate 4 that was NOT always online, $40 and guarantee you'd make 10x the amount you think you could make from all these lame MTX's.

I can however speak for everyone when I say, cut the quirk chungus voice acting and get rid of that stupid bot Vee.

Just pure troonslop at this point.
