@SourOG; I think many of us would rather pay 60 bucks and get access to a full SP game, being able to unlocks all items, instead of being stuck in some open world city with hundreds of strangers where we would do chores and grind to get some random items, or pay money to obtain them. I guess this open world city will have real-life ads (billboards) and product-placement and sponsorship deals as well.
As a single-player, I simply have zero interest in stuff like ‘ooooh, the community’.
@yi Myself included lol. People misunderstood me, I do not want f2p lol. I don’t mind real life branding and sponsorships, that’s a big part of pro skating. I don’t mind online but if I want to play against others it should be my choice. I’d rather it be:
- go to a “spot” - choose to go online for that spot, choose solo, or choose co-op
Otherwise I don’t want anyone in my game. An NPC or 2 is okay lol.
Exactly lol. People are “sleuths have detected lootboxes in the code. They said they wouldn’t but we found it!” Bro, it’s f2p… I could have told you that without looking at the code lmao.
Monetization Director caught lying & she'll apologize when? Thanks for giving me a super-advanced warning on how scummy this game may turn out to be though, wp.
Don't be scabs. Don't play this game. I know a new Skate game is tempting, but ignore this one, and stick to Skater XL and Session until they make a proper one.
If they implement it like Apex, I don't care. If someone wants to pay real money for cosmetics, it doesn't damage my experience within the game whatsoever.
If they implement it FIFA however, this can get in the sea. Pay to win is bullshit.
I think the big difference with games like Apex, Rocket League, etc, is that those are games which are already MP-based. So the whole ‘F2P GAS’ set up doesn’t REALLY affect the core gameplay experience, because nobody is really looking for a ‘career-mode’ or story in those sort of games. You just go online, play for a while with/against others, unlock some stuff maybe, and that’s it.
For me, in a game like Skate, I’m not interested at all about going online with others and dealing with some ‘community’. I just want a basic SP set-up where you just do your own thing and unlock new areas and stuff.
Same goes for a game like SSX3. If they’re gonna push out a new SSX, I’m sure they want to focus on MP again and do everything bigger and more ambitious, while I just want it to be SSX3, but with new stages, better graphics, and that’s all it needs to be.
The suits in charge simply don’t ‘get’ gaming, and they’re arrogant enough to push through their ideas of what they think we should want.
Tbh it’s possible they’ve experimented with implementation but they’ll not be in the final release..
Remember when everyone was up in arms about the Sims4 subscription model that turned out to not be a thing in the end.. (though kind of hilariously it probably would have saved a lot of players money anyway considering the number of expansions now..)
Typical EA. I was excited for this but can’t like going free to play put me off now their blatant lies have put nail in the coffin. There’s another skateboarding game I been meaning to check out and another new one. They’ll do me. EA Can…. Second word is off 🤣✌🏻
The device took.my.most hyped game in the last few years and took a massive three word dump on it. Free to play no other words could of made me go from hyped to I'll just go fire up rpcs3 and.play the originals instead.
Loptboxes are a natural evolution of f2p. They can say its not that bad or it's not pay to win but truth is it has a massive predatory aspect and reduces the quality of the game there will be no story or end because they need the game to generate money until the end of the generation ea no longer believe in skate they simply believe the community is OK with being milked and teased
I have no issues with free to play games. Games like Fortnite and Warframe do it well. Sure you can buy new skins. But they are not needed to have fun. Plus they don't do lootboxes. So if their is a skin you want to buy. You buy it not give them money and hope you get the skin you want.
I get why scummy EA includes them. They rather people gamble on getting the skin they want. Rather just out right buying it.
Of course they are in there. What a surprise.
It’s free to play..
You can't hide from the internet, because eventually they will know...EA got caught with their pants down once again.
ya think
They're gonna do the loot boxes until the entire populace just gets sick of it and it implodes in their faces.
