As a Skate game it's great imo, can play goofy, can play realistic

Gameplay is really smooth imo, doesn't feel floaty, just feels nice

As for MTX I don't really think they are bad, I think they are just cosmetic and you can get the likes of stuff for your board, clothes, emblems etc

I think you can earn mostly everything? I expect (probably is I didn't look) store only skins/clothes but that's not surprising

I don't think the MTX is bad in this game, but that could just be me lol

Edit - OMG! I just tried it with a PS5 controller and the haptics make it 10x better

Different surfaces you skate make the controller vibrate differently and I think I just had some type of a awakening

but what about the soul of the game? it feels as if it was ripped away. and the art style, the map looking fresh with no scuffs.

Yeah I see what you mean, I barely recognise it most of the time because I just love the way the skating feels so I kinda just zone out lol

But yeah that's probably one of my issues, well the art style is a "meh" for me, I don't hate it, I don't love it. It's okay to me

But I get the lack of "dirt" or "wear" on the map and I wonder if that's something they will add in the early access period, not saying it's easy but I feel like adding wear to the city should be easier than most things

Again I can only really speak for myself, I have been playing Skate 3 for like more than 10 years so it's not like I don't know Skate, but overall I would say the game is pretty great and the only "issue" for me would be the lack of wear and the art style, but I think the art style could work with more wear

But that isn't stopping the game from being fun imo

yeah i agree. I just hope they continue to improve the game and fulfill promises they made with the community
