>terrible reviews all around
>100,000 players every day
>extremely viral across all social media
I don't get it. Does a game being bad matter anymore? Do game reviews not matter anymore?
>>
>>721838436
The gameplay itself is not bad at all, the issue with the game is just literally everything else. Characters, the predatory model, most of the map suck, the multiplayer is botched as fuck, kids are playing it like a tiktok garbage thing and so on.
But skating around is good.
>>
>>721838590
Should I give it a try? I've never played any Skate games before, but I have played a lot of Tony Hawk as a kid.

At this point a game being bad doesnt matter at all. What matter is hype and if it has multiplay. Half the pop has no inner voice, so influencing them is rather easy with just marketing and the hivemind hype.
>>

>Do game reviews not matter anymore?
They only matter the lowest most retarded fanbase, sony fans.
>>
>>721838684
NTA, but it's free, so it'll only cost you some hard drive space. If you hate it, just uninstall. I personally enjoy just skating around and trying to land grinds and stuff, maybe doing a challenge or two. There's something obnoxious about everything that isn't just cruising around and doing whatever, real customization is locked behind that stuff or paying real money, and it's glitched as fuck, but I like the core gameplay enough to endure all that.
>>
>>721838684
Eh. You can, but you should know that besides the good gamplay, everything else is extremely pasteurized and really cringe.

Is it fun?

If it wasn't free, nobody would be playing it.

>the predatory model
What about it is predatory? You get plenty of shit to unlock for free. Only thing I'd ask the devs to do is move the District loot boxes to their own tab so you're not stuck scrolling to the bottom of their storefront.
>>
>>721839846
>some hard drive space
only 8 gigs, which is insane in current day
>>
>>721840832
It has fuck-all for assets currently. There's about 10 common textures in the game used over and over, and the rest is graffiti.
>>
>>721838436
I was gonna try this out, but I'm not touching Javelin "anti-cheat" with a ten foot pole.
Why the fuck would skate need anti-cheat anyway?
>>
>>721841187
Unironically to protect the in-game store.

if it didn't have godlike gameplay no one would touch it, crazy how gameplay in a game matters the most

oh yeah if it was 90gb i wouldn't have installed it lol, 8 gigs and f2p means anyone remotely interested tried it out

A reminder it'll only get worse when the mobile version comes out, and that ends up becoming the new target audience for the devs to focus.

People are desperate for a simple skateboarding game. People love chill skateboarding. They're serving a market that's been neglected for 15 years, give or take.
>>
>>721838436
The core gameplay is still the best in genre just like the previous Skate games. Add in "Free" and it's a guaranteed success as far as player numbers go.

The progression and multiplayer is absolutely abysmal though.
The entire point of this game's existence is the multiplayer and it's implemented by toddlers with down syndrome. It's almost impossible to find people to play co-op because you have to rely on children that can't read yet.
Matchmaking would radically improve the experience. The bullshit timers and throttled solo rewards would not be so bad if it wasn't for how quarter-assed the multiplayer is.

I want this game to improve to the point it's not a travesty for the franchise but the devs are so utterly retarded and gay by default I just have no faith at all.
>>
>>721838684
It's just not worth your time at the moment.

You can't even make a male character yet. You can only make females wearing beards
>>

Have you seen how fucking cringe and gay all the characters behave?
Not to mention the deliberate androgynous non-gendered character you are forced to play as.

>>
>>721844215
I played with a guy the other day that didn't understand that not every player has to do every goal and it was insufferable. Everything would be done and all he had to do was get to the end, yet he would just slam non-stop trying to do shit way beyond his skill level.
He was so goddamn bad at the game too. It was like this was very first video game. After a full fucking hour with only 3 challenges completed I bailed on that retard.

Anyway I want the ability to say in chat "you don't have to do it all at once" now.

There's actually a spot in this very game where you can casually just fall through the map. Some of those tree assets with the metal grates surrounding them have no collision surrounding the base of the tree, so you can just step right on through. IIRC the ones near the casper hotel

No story, just a 14 hour tutorial where a chatbot adds people to a Discord call, challenges are procedurally generated and required to grind currency for loot box based customization. 1-4 unique models per slot, loot boxes are cluttered with ramps and rails.

There's your answer. Kids and NEETs will sink countless hours into slop when it costs $0 to install. It helps that Skate had a proven gameplay loop EA could leverage before development even began. It also helps that the skateboarding vidya landscape is barren.

On Early Access launch the servers died and everyone who tried to relog immediately got put into a queue, highest I saw a screenshot from that was 1.2mil iirc and at that time steam was at 80k. Not sure how consistent that ratio would be but that puts steam at about 7% of the game's playerbase. Game will be on mobile before too long as well.

Its riding high off tiktok/reels craze, but seriously, the core gameplay is very fun and addicting.
It is as said before, EVERYTHING ELSE that isnt the gameplay that sucks absolute dick.
It's fucking sad to see. It's like maybe two of the OG skate devs worked on the core gameplay and got it down right, and then hundreds of other EA goons come in to discuss how monetization is gonna work, what artstyle is as inoffensive as possible, what shitty cosmetics people would pay ridiculous prices for, how rarity is categorized on fucking clothes.
But the game did entice me to order copies of the original skate 1 and 2 on 360 because my only experience with skate was the demo back in 07

I think it's almost literally that. On the dev videos they do they have Chris "Cuz" Parry and Mike McCartney on from the old skate games and I'm pretty sure every other dev/artist/hack in those videos are new. There probably are a few others, and there are some really cool authentic things they've done like adding slappies, wallies and the other new mechanics. But it's all drowned out by safe-space retards steering the ship.

Steam reviews are not a measure of quality, they're a measure of satisfaction vs dissatisfaction.

I did that the other day too.
When I noticed there's an animation to signal it, I felt like fucking retard.
At first I was trying to do prewinds like a street fighter move right at take-off and my timing was completely fucked. It's as simple as quarter circling and holding shortly before you pop.

Spinnin' quicklike is tons of fun and you feel cool showing off to children that can barely kickflip.

Consider that there is literally no alternative game providing this experience. It is a 1 of 1, and that alone virtually guarantees a playerbase.

I play with advanced controls and find grinding to be completely fucking impossible without at least 35 grind assist. I never had a problem grinding in the previous games. In this game, the consistency with which your grind connects is totally fucked. You either have a choice of never being able to connect because of outrageous precision, or getting pulled out of your flow constantly because your basically magnetizing to them.

It's fucked. It's not a skill issue. The grind coding is fucking broken and I know better.

>>721864316
It might have been intentional because there are certain little things the tutorials don't tell you that enable unique tricks.
For instance, if you tweak your board with the right stick BEFORE you grab, you can get a different trick.
Then you can one foot or no-hand that trick for even more obscure moves.
If you want to do a Bennihana, you have to tweak first, then grab, then one foot. Stuff like that helps players feel like actual pros when they start experimenting. I prefer there being no tutorial.

I don't know, man. I had no issues whatsoever in the previous games and have fond memories of hopping all over the fuckin place and still hitting the rails I needed to.

0 grind assist in this game is basically like grinding as a feature is disable for me. The angles become so precise that I can't ever ollie correctly. I either overshoot or miss the angle and eat shit.

I don't know what is going on.

to put it simply, in the slide only the nose of the skate slides parallel, in the blunt the nose is on top on an angle and the wheels are away

boardslide the nose hits first, lipslide the opposite

Steam reviews can't always be trusted, mainly due to how they're either negative or positive with no middle ground.
Some pajeet with an outdated PC might give it a negative review for running poorly or get really anal about some issue that most people don't really care about.
Not saying that all steam reviews are like this, but many people decide to not give a shit about them due to the "bad" reviews

The throttled rewards wouldn't be so bad if you weren't forced to wait 24 hours to be able to do them.
The progression and rip chip systems really need a change to not fuck over people who like playing the game. That's the only thing everyone besides marketing shills agree on. It's a massive massive problem for any game to outright force you to stop progressing. This has killed every free game to ever die and needs to change immediately.

Try using the left stick forward to pump setting and go to maybe the underpass at bonski skatepark or whatever it's called or any other place with big humps and see if you can get the hang of it then, it'll tell you when you do a pump correctly when it goes "Pumping Clean"

the game is made by fucking faggots and amateurs. yes as all the thread is saying the gameplay is amazing, because its ripped from other people's work from 20 years ago. but the more you play the more you realize the little inconsistencies and fuckups. the wonky momentum and friction sticks out, but then you start finding smaller details like having to reset your stick to neutral before a grab command.

i watched some youtube video from a 'dev' thinking it would be interesting. turns out to be some stuttering queer with that horrendous tumblr artstyle - you know the one, where everyone has giant freckles and a red nose.
as far as i can tell (honestly its hard to listen to), spends all their 'years of dev experience' in QA (IE worthless and not a dev) but for some reason was submitting art assets, unpaid? larping or just looking for a promotion to actual development i guess?
anyway, they finally get hired to a real position, on this game. and the way this game looks is no accident or mistake.

You should try emulating Skate 2 & 3.

3 is a really fun, more arcade style of game.

I gave it a try this morning, I never played Skate 3 but I did play Skate 1 and 2, somehow the game feels awful though. The controls feel really really sluggish like akin to controlling arthur morgan slugish just movement on the board feels really unresponsive.

The games kinda fun but I'm not sure what the purpose of it being multiplayer is because I'm not playing against people if there were games of SKATE going on around at different spots it would be fun but it just feels like a mostly mediocre designed map. I've skated a few spots but none of them so far felt as good as the community center park in the first game and again why the hell do you move so fast it feels like instead of landing tricks naturally the game constantly has to aim assist you into transitions because you move too fast.
>>
>>721840658
I would also say this, what does the game even have to buy? If it's just clothing and skate decks who gives a shit I'm using the default stuff and just wear whatever trash I unlocked randomly I'm not going to buy decks or clothing could care how my character looks at all.

>>
>>721896401
Move the camera further away if it is too fast for you at first. It feels 'unresponsive' because you don't ollie into the air in a millisecond and need to do it earlier than you think, you'll get used to it.

Voice acting itself is good and even better than most professional voice actors, the problem is the lines are often corny and they overexplain lingo and shit to you. The whole story also has a negative halo effect due to the initial non-skating feel of the character select screen and setting.

It's not that bad if you just want to skate around and fuck around. The biggest problems is the art style, lack of soul, and limited challenges. But as a game to just skate around in, its pretty good.
It could have been done waaay better, but I think Skate as in a GaaS model makes sense. Its always been more of free skate endlessly replayable game, so if its a service now, they can continually add new stuff. Just a shame it launched so barebones. 6/10 seems about right, and the 100k players is probably people who are just fucking around and don't care about all the stuff I mentioned.

Marketing is far more important than the game being good. Gamers are that stupid plus people generally want to play something that is popular because they can all enjoy it together as a cultural phenomenon.

Because people have been dying to play skate on PC for fucking years the controls are still decent and its fun just spending some time doing some simple tricks at a spot and its f2p. If it wasn't f2p it would be DoA because its bad outside of that.
>>
>>721907474
For some reason clips of what you mentioned or people getting huge air off of buildings or mega ramps are the only thing that gets any traction on video platform algorithms, but most probably play it because its a chill skateboarding game.
>>
>>721838436
That game isn't "bad," per se. The issues are:

-Microtransactions (was always going to be the case with bonEsAw)
-Games as a Service (*fart*) which needs the above
-Dripfed content (because it's GaaS despite being in development for EIGHT [8] YEARS)
-Not much to do besides dailies for your GaaS F2P money
-No Linux support (and thus, no 'Kateboard on 'Eck support)

The gameplay itself (despite the "bugs" that Pewdiepie fans love) is fine. The skating is okay.

But after eight years it should be more than it is.

how exactly does "Slam Distance" work in a challenge? I'm fucking plummeting off a roof and bouncing 50 feet into a dumpster, but its saying i only got 11.5 feet of distance somehow

thats the great thing, sometimes it just doesn't!
those slam distance challenges stuck tracking after i reset a single time.

It's fun gameplay (it's Skate after all. They'd have to try really hard to fuck the gameplay up) wrapped around the worst package possible. EA saw the love that people still have for Skate 3 to this day and said "how can we monetize this as efficiently as possible".

Yeah, if the main goal of the game is to get people grinding for loot boxes, there needs to be a way to constantly earn rip chips, even at a low rate. Once you're done with the goals for the day, there's really no reason to keep going, unless you're only playing to skate around, which kind of defeats the purpose of the F2P model, and outside of the novelty of it being new, the city kind of sucks for that and you might as well play one of the other, better games.

Just back up a bit, do two full pushes, ollie for ease of contact, then do a rotating fliptrick out of the manual.

The Halloween Hellbomb is one of the most beloved things in all of Skating right now and it's the polar exact opposite of something this game would allow. ESPECIALLY with all the brutal music and rowdy men.

This game is for women and trannies.
That is not ever changing.

Less than a year? No way.
It came out on PS4 and Xbox One. That's guaranteed mass engagement which pleases investors greatly, generating income.

It's guaranteed to be a money pit for a brief while as EA and Full Circle worship the player numbers.
Only when they realize it isn't truly profitable will they pull the plug.

I've seen too many Grim Reapers skating around to think this game isn't going to be strung along for at least couple years as everyone slowly quits from sheer incompetence of literal factual tranny-groomers on the dev team.

It's only been a few weeks dude. This game legitimately has nothing to fucking do. Once the novelty of playing skate again wears off the casuals area going to fall off. The cosmetics are shit and look like shit, the social functions are broken or non existent, COD is coming along with the holidays in general which will be taking people's time and attention away from doing the same missions again and again with no goal in sight. I'd be shocked if it isn't all but dead by February. GTA will kill it for good, good riddance

I honestly don't see it. I'm willing to give it until the first couple seasons to see how the content stream is going to look, but right now you can't even keep grinding for lootboxes once you've finished the daily rotation. Once they're done, there's nothing to do unless you just want to do some spots, but the city is so shit that those type of players will probably just end up eventually going back to play the older games.

The biggest takeaway I've had is that the pass will include new music tracks which seems very fucked up to me.

>Introducing: the skate.Pass. Starting with Season 1, as you play skate. you will earn in-game Seasonal currency (Tix) that will allow you to unlock new pages of the skate.Pass. Each page unlocks a new set of rewards that you can choose from. Rewards are split into Free and Premium tracks. Everyone must earn skate.Pass levels to unlock rewards, but Free rewards are accessible without owning the Premium pass. Each page of the skate.Pass requires you to earn a total amount of skate.Pass currency, aka Tix, to unlock. You can then exchange that currency for items you want.

>For Season 1, it’s a little shorter than regular seasons, so there’s over 80 rewards split between the Free and Premium tracks - including free track customization items like the White Backward Cap or Lucky Strip Cargo pants, decks and gear like SN8K Wheels or the “I Know Skate-Fu” deck, stickers, outfits, and social items like badges and emotes. (Season 1 is a little shorter, but regular seasons going forward will have about 100 items available to unlock in between the Free and Premium tracks of the skate.Pass.) With the Premium track, you can even earn SVB - and use some of that SVB to buy the next season’s Premium skate.Pass.

>Don’t worry—you won’t miss out if you can’t complete the Season 1 pass before Season 2 drops in December. As long as you obtain a seasonal skate pass before that season ends, you can continue working on Season 1 through Season 2, Season 2 through Season 3, etc.

What do you think the maple harvest is going to be?
>>
>>721934654
pages of junk to buy with tickets
have to get more tickets to unlock more pages
not sure they showed exactly how to get tickets but probably shit like "Daily: Do 250 Christ Airs in Market Mile" because they have no creativity.

I misread an older post. They're being added per season not in the pass as per this.
>>
>>721935316
there are overalls but they are costumes so it sucks
>>
>>721934995
>As long as you obtain a seasonal skate pass before that season ends
So is there some item in a skatepass to let you keep working at that thing, or is it that you need to buy the thing first, like in Helldivers 2?
>Free and Premium tracks
Jesus fucking christ with this shit.
>>
>>721935316
Cute women shouldn't skate
>>
>>721935316
the closest thing to that at the moment is the blue boiler suit outfit
>>
>>721935437
unless they are tomboys
>>
>>721935316
you know in this game it will look like a weird oversized fleece babygrow in swirly pink and blue, and only available as an "outfit" rather than a clothing layer.
>>
>>721935480
No such thing sadly, just broken people seeking attention
>>
>>721935561
seemingly so. met many men and many women but not a single tomboy

>follow around random skaters since there's no way for a /v/ meet up

fucking grim

>>721935773
maybe we should make a /v/ skate group
>>
>>721935773
To be fair when I'm going from place to place I'm just dicking around on my board. I've still yet to find any location in the game that interests me enough to what to do anything in it, while also not just being something from a challenge.

This game is going to die very soon.

Keep dicksucking EA, you might get some Rip points lmao

>So is there some item in a skatepass to let you keep working at that thing, or is it that you need to buy the thing first
I was wondering that, too, but considering it's EA, I'm going to assume it only applies to the premium pass.

Also,
>With the Premium track, you can even earn SVB - and use some of that SVB to buy the next season’s Premium skate.Pass.
Tells me that there's going to be no way to earn even a small amount of SVB, like CoD points in their battlepass.

>>721935773
shame not your brother for kickflipping and bailing on a curb. for they are skateboarding, and thus our kin.
shame instead the heathens bailing from the top of high rise buildings. repeatedly. on purpose. for their pleasures are the devil's corruption of our sacred way of life, and they are not our brothers.

amen.

They also cut dozens of goals and the mini games like tennis and baseball. And the animation blending is unironically worse than the ps2 games
>>
anyone else getting earraped when they get into the game?
>>
>>721937454
that loud as fuck skateboard slam sound? yeah. it's like every skater on the server just took a large drop at the same exact place and time

every single time, it always shocks me

>need to spend actual money to be able to do this and i have to wait for the cash shop to reset in hopes of something you actually want to show up
>default shit is ai slop crap
"Blud really complaining bout a free game in early access ctfu who cares unc shiet just cosmetics unc it ain't that serious" is the most retarded take.
>>
Fix the player models already. I want to be able to say "yeah I'd fuck my skater"
>>
>>721938526
honestly jus the ability to add some makeup would go a long way
>>
>>721937934
>>default shit is ai slop crap
this is one of the worst things in the game right now
I get the multiplayer not being done and I get not all the objectives resetting despite both being very retarded decisions from EA but the AI shit on the soundtrack and the boards is borderline a crime

>>721938526
kek, they won't do that, if anything they will do the opposite, look at sims 4 and what they did with bella goth
>>
>>721938526
Are you gay? All the character models look feminine as fuck, the faces look like Disney princesses
>>
>>721938576
Fucking retarded design choice to have eyes with makeup and eyes without makeup rather than having an eye makeup section alongside the lipstick/gloss.

>>721938619
>bella goth
Don't remind me

>>721938670
Pardon?
>>
>>721938726
I haven't made a female skater but looking fuckable isn't the problem as far as I've seen
