yeah, holy hell. everyone and their mom had a skateboard in 2003
i have vivid memories of playing THUG 2 as a kid at my friends house unlocking the skin that was just a hand so it looked like you were tech decking
Yea my small town built a skate park
Omg welcome back from your break
Keep in mind it was also the era of cable TV , where there were alot more people watching the same shows. Like catching the new fantasy factory episode at 8PM EST and then talking about it with your friends at school/work the next day
also the show with bam margera and and johnny knoxville and steve-o that i can’t say here had a TON of skating in it
Social media bubbles are to blame too - these people probably see skating all over their social media every day so they assume its big. But back in like 2002 you didn’t need to be in a bubble, even your grandparents were seeing skateboarding every day on TV ads, movies etc. Even the random guy at the bus stop asking you for change knew who Tony Hawk was.
Skateboarding was about as popular back then as fried chicken is today.
But that’s because of how big it was. Parents saw it as a viable career for their kids.
Exactly
"it's scam. not skate."
So many skate culture shows it was insane.
Fantasy Factory , Rob&Big, Wildboyz, Jackbutt, Viva La Bam
MTV was on top of the world
If you just treat it as a fun little free skate sandbox game you’ll be happier
yep, especially if you find some people to bounce video challenges off occasionally
It was supposed to be so much more than this
-# and we were supposed to have other parts of the map for free, too!
I’m not excusing the idiotic choices they’ve made with tix and whatever. But I’m just not expecting much beside what it is right now.
It’s skating feels good and it’s fun so I’ll just play when I want to and enjoy it.
If I'm being hopeful, we'll see "Dev Blog: Goodbye San Vansterdam" in less than a year
And nobody wants to see this
If I'm being realistic, we'll see that blog post in a few months time
If it isn’t sustainable sure. I don’t know that “nobody wants to see this”. Like I said. There’s plenty there to enjoy if you just don’t expect a lot as far as a “game” goes.
my main idea/suggestion for them is to make the shop items be purchased with both currencies
like for example , having a shirt you can buy from the shop for 150 SV bucks OR 2000 rip chips
instead of the items being SV Bucks only
That's what I'm saying: the game can have it's moments and be enjoyable, I myself really enjoy how the skate feels, but this alone won't save it
No one wants to see this game crash and burn
Yea that’s not gonna happen. It’s their only way to make real money.
They should expand the crates though.
I didn’t mind that as a way to get items.
I do. The game in unsaveable no one is going to do the work required to fix it. Just let it die (which it already is dead pretty much) and go back to Skate 3, the last real skate game or alternatives.
I think this should be the case for basic, non branded cosmetics, like why should I pay at minimum 7.55aud just for a pair of blue tie dye pants
But also, I have over 130k rip chips so,,, yeah
Meh, I'd rather be able to choose what item I want to get rather than open twenty boxes to get a green sweater
Eh it’s free stuff. I’ll deal with having g some things I don’t use. And it gives a reason to use rip chips.
the most simple thing to do rn is : The game is "surviving because of your wallets, if you aren't pleased with the decisions the studio is doing, stop using your wallet."
thats what im saying
if they implement that into the shop, it gives something players can grind for
I won the season one deluxe whatever pass with a contest, there's no way I'm spending a cent on this thing lol
But at least it allowed me to get a pair of shoes I wanted so
and after a certain point in the game rip chips literally become useless, I have no reason to use mine
I'm interested in the catalogue they mentioned, if there will be rip chips options or not
Yea stopped playing the general challenges unless it was tied tot he season pass or event
I was initially doing all the challenges to save up a lot of tix for next season but, that's become entirely pointless now
Make noise about your complaints with the game on social media, but if you want "real " change you must hit where it hurts, in the case of a F2P live sesrvice game is by not spending real money. It's that simple
You can bet they're gonna introduce a new currency just for this and you'll only be able to get these items with either this currency or SVB
Catalogue Coins, earn em and spend em for the latest pair of socks: pink cheetah print!
It’s also not playing
What irritates me the most is that they hide behind the "but it's early access" lie to cover their other lie of maps being free. I don't trust anything they'll say anymore, and I don't think I'm the only one
@gray fjord Everything BUT black socks lmao
The closest being white and black stripes is not good at all
If they cared they would let players be able to color default clothing the way they want. But it's EA, so you gotta pay twice for a slightly different shade of color
Still can't get over them removing the free pair of peach cargos and replacing them with brown and black tie dye pants
yeah lol
that was so ridiculous
clearly shows where their priorities are: in the players' wallets
thats what im most curious about, i wish they said if its paid with rip chips
All they said that 200+ items will be available for à la carte purchase on demand
Which basically means that there will be items in the shop that you can choose directly at anytime (core catalog) but then you still have the rotating items too
im hoping they finally re-release the Nike bundle
How many of those 200 items are gonna be what we've already had and what will be new i wonder?
I could see them adding old event items into the catalogue that don't really have a theme to them, like the striped socks from Skate-O-Ween or the white shades from, I can't remember the name of the winter event
Player parks ain’t coming this upcoming season I can feel it
I can see it being a mixture, most SVB, some rip chips
I'm actually worried about how they'll handle them after seeing how they handled the TUTORIAL island
all they mentioned so far is that wardrobe basics will be there , like clothing items that are one solid color
im certain that people will finally get their black socks lol
Just read the update and I’m just like wow…
I'm good with spending rip chips on whatever. Right now they are worthless to me and I've got like 90K almost and nothing to buy. Totally redundant after the boxes have been looted. In other news, is it just me or have the climbing mechanics on this game janked even further!?
its still buggy
im just tired of grinding a rail and then the game decides to send my character face first into the ground at lightspeed
They always felt a bit off to me, I don't really climb anymore tho cause I got teleports everywhere
has anyone else felt like the map is only made for missions and not for spots? It just doesn't feel natural, spots feel like they are made for specific challenge. Maybe my skater eyes are just bad idk 
I find spots pretty often and I enjoy them, although I'm probably in the minority on that
Yea. Theres spots all around. Especially if you use drops
try creating spots using the object dropper more , like for example, you can flip the picnic table prop upside down to get a triple rail setup.
there are also floor grates around the map you can interact with that turns them into a ramp
The props are fun to use, me and a mate set up a table with a couch under a rainbow rail, and a ramp either side, took turns grinding it, and took turns laying on the couch as the other went over on the rail, pretty fun 
For me I still use them but that's because I don't have all boxes unlocked to max (almost there though) but after that they'll just sit in my inv and have no purpose. I hope the cataloge is chips only
i use the object glitch to clip objects through walls to make a stairset with the bleachers
i just sent a pic of the spot i made in the #off-topic chat
Vee was made
I think I speak for everyone when I say we hate her
We hate the clanker (not the voice actor)
Correct. I really don't get how some people hate both, it's odd.
Okay i'll try use more props and keep my eyes more open for something fun. Thanks for the recommendations!
Frank west was right about the island… but also I miss hall of meat
I sent a message but it got deleted immediately for whatever reason, probably one of their automod bots that doesn't like an extremely specific word. Anyways I wanted to say that her old design was original
A lot of messages get deleted here sadly, has happened to me before. I don't know about her old design, I just know I don't like her voice (no hate to the voice actor they are fine) it's grating and annoying. From the moment I started the game I couldn't stand her, and needed to turn her off as fast as I possibly could.
No problem , i also sent a pic in the #off-topic chat of the most recent spot i made using bleachers, the object glitch, and an upside down picnic table
Yeah same
"Wow, that guy just walked next to you!" "Do you like skating? I love skating!"
Her old design was a little camera, 
And apparently the censored word that triggered the bot is "m0ngo"
That's a crazy reason for a censor, I Isee nothing wrong with that word.
Her old design seems nice.
I assume they were tired of being compared to m-corp, hence why? idk

lmfaooooo
This discord is so quiet when the US are sleeping
Hello everyone,
I just saw the announcement of the return of the map tutorial which is cool frankly!
But I didn't misunderstand? You'll have to have the pass to get access to it? 🙄
Premiem pass will have early access alongside unrestricted access for the season. Without the pass, you have access for an event, after that 500 rip chips per 24 hour ticket...
And what about the 4th part of the city?
No Idea about the last district
(lol at 2 minute cooldown when this place is a ghosttown)
Wait for what?
Will I have to pay 500 if I want to go 24 hours? But nan, are you making me a joke here? 😅
I think the majority of players would love for it to be a joke, but nah, it is what it is, but yeah, without premium pass, 500 ripchips for 24 hour access
But give us back skate 3 and we're talking more about it omg they're really going to bury their new game actually 👀
Season 3: A Great way to split your player base and tank your game, WELL DONE EA! 👏
Season 3: The Ultimate Crashout
So the game will finish its early access at least when it leaves the island? Don't tell me that we're staying on early access with an additional early access update? 🤣
Still early access, with early access for an island that we entered when we first had early access
It's terrible what they're proposing 👀
Yeah it's a shocker, and goes against what they initially said about no areas being behind a paywall, but even with the amount of pushback and complaints from 99% of players, I don't think it is going to change
Yes, that's what I liked about their proposal and I thought it coincided with the skate spirit, but then they took people for pigeons... 10 years waiting for a game for that... they should have just remaster skate 3 and they would have saved a lot of time
only time will tell, maybe they will change it, or maybe it was a way to get people to stop complaining about the tickets not rolling over hahaha
They're just going to pay waiters for a hundred people in the end...
If they did that for that they're really not smart ahahaha
Ofcourse they didn't, they did it for revenue. I;ve lost interest in the challenges etc now, but the skating is just so smooth I will continue to play my average of 20 mins daily befre getting bored
And my challenges are completely broken lmao
So we gotta pay to return to the tutorial? Sorry I'm a bit late to this announcement
technically its been reworked.. but yeah Grom is now 500 rip chips a day to access from S3
one of the weekly challenges I had to do twice. The one with the lateflips
gotta love that, criticize this on the subreddit, gets downvoted immedietly. Who's defending this?
i saw a couple of people defending it in here last night but honestly the chat was moving so fast it was giving me a headache
People who spend thousands of dollars on Microtransactions
It's a bold strategy....let's see how it plays out.
EA Skate Season 3 feels strong because the core skating keeps improving. The physics are tighter, new tricks add depth, and sessions flow more naturally — and in a skate game, feel is everything.
Even the new map paywall works better than expected. It positions the map as a premium, curated space rather than filler, while the base experience continues to evolve. As long as the core gameplay keeps getting better, paid content feels like an expansion — not a barrier.
Season 3 proves that when the foundation is solid, everything else lands smoother.
Ngl, its funny that they just took away all the colour from the tutorial Island, made it paid. And then had the audacity to call it "new content"
You wrote this using an Ai, nobdy writes using "—". Putting areas behind a paywall is a rubbish idea, and it's burying the game 6 feet deep
there's still so many progression blocks and glitches what are you talking about?
ai harms the environment, idek why you decided to use it to write this
It’s not so much about the paid content itself. The issue is that they initially stated that no part of the map would be locked behind a paywall. Then they changed their position, removed the stickers from here, and attempted to scrub their FAQ. That feels disingenuous and dishonest.
I feel like the devs were dumb enough to think that people wouldn't take screenshots or archive stuff like that. Incase they pulled something like this
I hate that they continue to say we're listening to feedback. So tone deaf.
We listen to feedback and completely ignore it.
We here at Full Circle value feedback as much as we value our players.
The whole media campaign before, during, and even after playtesting kept talking about free to play, nothing locked away, and not being pay to win which set an expectation. If they had just launched paid DLC maps from the start and been upfront about it, I honestly don’t think there would be this kind of uproar. Other skate games have had paid DLC maps and nobody really cared, you either bought it or you didn't. The content isnt the problem, it's the whole story we were sold at the beginning.
A cheeseburger is simple, but when it’s done right, it’s perfect.
A soft, lightly toasted bun that gives just enough resistance before giving way. A juicy beef patty with a caramelized crust on the outside and tender, savory richness inside. Melted cheese draped over the top, slightly glossy, hugging every edge of the meat. Crisp lettuce for freshness, ripe tomato for brightness, maybe a slice of sharp onion for bite. A swipe of sauce — tangy, smoky, or slightly sweet — tying it all together.
In my opinion, Skate. is better than Skate 3. Sure, it still lacks tricks like darkslides, but the feeling is the same and even better. San Van is an infinitely better map than Skate 3's. When we think of Skate 3's map, we always only talk about the ultra mega park; the rest of the map had long stretches of absolute emptiness with nothing to explore. What angered me and the other players the most was the broken promise that there would be no paywall, but I genuinely understand if there was a DLC map.
🍔
Someone needs a cheeseburger
Well the next Grind. update is going be an interesting read anyway.
I think there should be a blog post soon with more info on the roadmap etc if I am not wrong?
Cheeseburger?
Yes, jeff said they will release a roadmap today
I skateboarding — and cheeseburgers 🍔
Kyler my guy! You know whats up! Some of the ppl here arent giving cheeseburger energy
I cheeseboarding an skateburgers personally. But you do you.

I like the free dlc map in Skate 3, the one at that spooky themed place
I’m bracing myself for this place to catch fire again tonight then. 😂
I have snacks 😎
Im so excited for this discord to go crazy later
Cheeseburgers to grill on the embers!?
Crackers & dip or potato chips
how many rip chips will the road map cost?
Share pls.
1000
Who said about rip chips? I believe it will cost $10 to read
free and 1 hour early if you have the season pass
and founder's edition owners get nothing
roadmap premium pass .. 1000 svb, free emojis daily and early access to dev updates
founders edition roadmap gets your name in the known issues
Founders edition was the friends made along the way
those founders edition t-shirts are the closest they've come to respecting the series
I've rocked the skate 2 one from day 1, was the only reason I bought the founders pack to be honest
I’d be embarrased to be a dev rn
Chances are they have no say, decisions are made not by those who create, so I kinda feel bad for them. Especially the 'public facing' roles, as they get 0 decision power and all of the attitude
EA Games. Monetize Everything.
with the skateboard and the ollie
Pants for the leg? 👖
That also
"Premium, curated space"😭 it's not an art installation! Absolutely crazy glazing
cheeseburger for your troubles 🍔
god tried playing session and man that gameplay is not it bro
i remember the control scheme just being really weird on that
People force it to try to make it seem like there’s a solid alternative, but it’s not. They’re doing the same with Skate Style, it looks so clunky. The aesthetics are better than skate (grittiness/realism/clothes) but game play isn’t near it at all “hurr it’s how real skaters play”
Is good gameplay but the grind animations or manuals is like the skater recently have convulsion
yeah fr it sucks that’s every other option for skating games is pretty cheeks atm
Still no update about pvp modes?
bro we are not getting pvp we are barely even getting new content
I really wish they add smth like game of skate with 0% assist, i play with assist but in the game of skate is the better option, in my opinion
They’re announcing updates over the next few weeks so I assume new info on that will be in one of those since the roadmap has a new game mode listed
fr the fact we’re in February and they still don’t have any kind of matchmaking system for an ONLINE ONLY game is just straight up malpractice
larger batch of news is dropping within 24 hours
if u wait 3 more years, it might have all the baseline features skate 3 had so there is some hope
This, matchmaking. It's so hard to try to get parties alot of the time, and when I accept random invites it's always some 9 year old french kid SCREAMING
assuming this game even lasts that long. it just seems to be one bad decision after another.
They have a partnership with SLS and they don't even include the SLS parks. Having someone for a Game of Skate where you could go to a 1v1 map or some spot on the map would be great
only time this game had a sniff off community was when it was first released for everyone ppl were basically making their own parks outside the spawn since then it’s like skating a ghost town with a bunch of strangers
oh yeah in my opinion even though i rly do like the game (370 hours playtime) its cooked and the pr is going to kill the game more than any content will
they're even adding a new skate pass bundle, because clearly that's what everyone was asking for. more ways to spend money on an unfinished game.
dog they could add a beacon to indicate that someone wants to hang at a spot at any time, itd be so easy
A few days ago I was actually invited to a party (which I joined preparing for the worst) but was teleported onto one of the ships where basically the whole map had made a custom park. First time in MONTHS that has happened
just left the dc months ago bcs i dont use discord much but is the island gatekeeping a joke?
Nah sign of the end times.
also no way its gona be like 500 rip chips for a ticket, dont the challenges only give like 20 chips each or smth ridiculously low now?
Seriously, we're brainstorming ideas in this chat that could save the game, but they're simply not listening.
i thought the game would be done by now but all they’ve done is added more paid items to an unfinished product
Sadly it's not a miss timed April fools
Matchmaking should have rolled out with OTL, can’t imagine the thought process in not doing one without the other
You get some chips for the daily task too, not enough for a VIP ticket on the watertaxi, but more than the rotating challenges after they nerfed those
that’s the thing the devs don’t see, the players make this game. when it was first going viral it wasn’t cuz of any of the in game challenges it was the creative things ppl were coming up with themselves and posting
I remember when early access started, me and my buddy would just set up sofas and watch people pull off cool stuff. never got in anyone's way, just watched them skate. We even had people join our party and we just chilled. Can't even get a whiff of something like that now.
like yk how i feel now defending the game from the obv bashing of a lot of stuff? this is nothing i can defend wht should i argue like how to explain this to my friends? i feel frkn dumb that i said ppl overreacting on the decisions they make
At that point Im better off just making a 2nd EA Account, and never leaving the tutorial area on that acc
e.a. skate. : where you will pay a subscription to playtest their "f2p" game
genuinely, like oh give an extra 10 bucks on a season pass or spend ten minutes jumping through some very easy hoops
RIP T-pose glitch
Of course if that was possible it would be great but as soon as you log off and then back on it kicks you to san van
Live and learn. Red flags are indeed red flags for a reason.
i was the same bro, a year later and still the only thing i can compliment is the gameplay but still content
I’m no longer defending this company or game. Paywall for the tutorial island is weak.
What could save the game would be player-created maps, what drove the online content for EA skate games here in Brazil were videos of players using these maps. Without them, I don't see anyone commenting on them here
its not even "an extra 10 bucks" its like a neverending "extra 10 bucks" until you check your account data and realize you've spent $300 on what was meant to be a free game . subscription meta and rotating shops are awful . at least theyre changing the rotating shop (with basic items that should be free anyways 🙄 )
now fr idc about cosmectic shop battlepass and all, if f2p but a timegated abonnement payment to access the small tutorial island?
You should never be defending any company tbh, they should be working for you not the other way around
My hope:
- Game population collapses due to people being unable to share Grom.
- Management is replaced and investors reevaluate.
- Direction changes to reflect what players actually want and skate lives for 20 years.
moist critikal finds out about this and its clown town for ea
wait, wasn't Brickswitch meant to come out for season 3?
I can tell you rn if the game collapses there will be no second chance, investors don't want to see money thrown away
yea i dont know what to say just feel very betryed, i had nothing to complain before personally, but is just feels like an absolute april joke
My biggest worry is that if they can backtrack on maps being free so can they for tricks in the future as well
Probably them talk about brickswitch on the roadmap today
Yeah you cant trust anything they said anymore
Really? Smart I guess
I don't think the game is going to last 20 years, either, 😂, I'm just hoping irrationally at this point because I see no empirical cause for it.
-# What I definitely don't want to see is someone convincing themselves of the absurd belief that this private-island stuff helped the game, because I don't want every future season to start featuring private towns that our friends who spend less cannot visit with us.
Boycott, uninstall, don’t pay a dime to these people.
they have completely destroyed player trust
yes, you only stay on the island for your first session, once logging in again it teleports you to the main map
yeah it was miracle they got them to invest in this one after black box went under there’s no way they’re doing it again
Nah I’m good
I hope so, because if they delayed a free area to add in a pay-to-access area (that is already in the game), that's beyond greedy.
It's just a shame, I liked this game a lot, and I still like it. But the repeating challenges everyday to raise rep, the whole grom thing, the poor (for the most part, since some clothing/board stuff are actually good) outfits/gear, the many bugs/glitches, the tickets not rolling over, etc. Makes the game stale and unplayable.
Hounestly my hope was lost when personal friends who already worked at EA , were denied transfers to work for FC even though they had beyond the skills required, one dude was a long term employee for code masters, all of them huge skateboarding enthusiasts tho
this, (have no rank cant react to messages with emoji) they f'd up all us players that defended the game over the whole time
Oof that's not a good sign
i mean who even cares ab brickswitch atp “ooh their gonna add some boring challenges and some mid clothing in a loot box hurray”
Never done a single challenge 80 hours in… please give me fast travel anywaaay
We arent the main audience to these people. The main audience is the 1% that willingly pay up
There own words were, it feels like there declining anyone with long term experience
they did below the bare minimum in not even giving baseline features from skate 3 on 'release' like darkslides, park editor, keyframes , and are drip feeding them back into the game as some like "look at us, we care" act when in reality we are just being rinsed for mtx
they claim that skate is going to be a long term game but the standards of the games industry is that you can lay off everybody at a moments notice so i cant even trust that
well the originally promised free content would be nice. maybe they could finish the base map first before adding paid map expansions
codemasters ftw .. much respect to them
Yeaaaaaaaaaah that's not a good sign at all.
They no longer work for EA tho since when code masters went they went too, ended up at star citizen
The worst part about breaking a promise is that any other promise they make becomes vulnerable to being broken as well
dw bro your playerbase having 0 trust in you is a good business model. look at the new call of duty game....
thank you
oh but didn’t you see there tweet since it’s long process their allowed to switch up their plan (basically used “we’ll listen to your feedback” as n excuse to break any promise they made)
Ngl there's might be some truth in that lmao, no one trusts battle state games, yet tarkov still thrives
i think we should be punished by having less fast travel points for complaining
They would make a lot more money if they didnt shove in live service BS and just made another mainline game
3 wheels
so they said no maps locked behind paywall? what does @dull pilot say about this? this is seriously disappoining to the point i dont even know what to say about this? ik jeff is not a dev, but he was the one to communicate with an logical stance to the playerbase here and explain some things, but you cannot explain this CHANGE
Jeff hasn't really got a say in the matter, he's CM not a dev or manager of a development team
He has to do the best with what they give him essentially
The official stance appears to be that things changed.
-# No further concrete justification has been given to my knowledge.
idk if a single person actually agrees with the decisions they made except for ea themselves and the people in charge . i doubt jeff likes it and certainly doesnt like the response in the discord LOL
Sure jeff don’t like it but is his job
More than likely sales have been less than satisfactory, and they needed to invent a new form of implied value, or lose funding
that roadmap is gonna have to have a lot of other content on there to make up for all this
Yeah that is my sense as well, and if we're right, that's a really bad sign.
Tbh, if they just pulled there finger out and gave everyone more city, implied value wouldn't matter
that tweet reply that basically says "yeah sorry things change" was fantastic for building trust and support
In my experience, a last minute scheme for extra cash tends to be only and exactly that, and never turns out to be the life support that rescues a game and turns it successful.
-# To me, this move says, "We no longer have hope that our game can be popular and profitable, so we're doing damage control and trying to recoup as much investment as possible from those who still play." Definitely not sure I'll buy any more SVB after this.
I dont have much hope
Well whatever the reason, this dropped my faith in the game from like a solid 80% to like 5%.
nooooo did they really say that?
yea sorry things change anyways heres a scorpion tattoo for 750 svb it covers 3% of your arm
Me too, they destory the player’s trust
Tbf to them, il give them the benefit of the doubt, that circumstances do indeed change, however... The city it's self isn't any bigger
they got what they wanted, they gained my attention and i joined back to the discord, now make this new paywall abonnement change CHANGE
i wish the "spend 50 dollars and have all the content without conditionals" era of gaming was back 😔

from the tweet...
We launched skate. in Early Access so we could build it with players, not behind closed doors.
Since September we’ve been updating the world, tweaking characters, and adding features our players have been asking for, and there is lots more coming.
Yes, sometimes plans have to change. That’s part of the deal when you’re building in public.
We're here, we’re listening, and we’re going to keep shaping skate. together.
@nkocharm We launched skate. in Early Access so we could build it with players, not behind closed doors.
Since September we’ve been updating the world, tweaking characters, and adding features our players have been asking for, and there is lots more coming.
Yes, sometimes plans have to
if Stop Killing Games gets anywhere, the best of this game might be when they stop working on it and let the community have the keys.
Games like that still exist. From EA, Split Fiction is actually genuinely great. I love Nioh 3 and loved AC Shadows and Rise of the Ronin and Ninja Gaiden 4. But, yeah, whatever this business model is in this specific game, I don't need it
Its more "give a map that i have already played a paywall"
yeah thankfully a lot of games are still exactly like that, elden ring is one of my favourites
i just read the dev update and im really impressed with the changes made
And to be honest they should be grateful because this level of lingering hope is beyond generous.
I'm just surprised they went this route, I can't think of any other live service games that lock you out of maps. Maybe cosmetics, maybe even characters, but has any other live service game locked you out of maps?
how long before they delist the old Skate games?
The new Nioh has open world regions with coop for up to 3 people just playing through the whole story together, minus some specific training duels that are meant to be 1v1. Drop in easily, teleport to host, it's the best Nioh has ever been. If you like ER, play Odachi or something, and you'll be super happy.
Id give it 3 years probably 2 actually
"plans changing is part of the deal with building the game in public" is so weak, weve been left in the dark until literally today and we still dont have a good picture of skates future
games becoming an mmo rather than a skate sandbox, we might as well introduce skills like runescape and gatekeep tricks behind levelling them up, and then sell xp for tix. ea hire me
it absolutely wasnt part of the deal.. the deal was "no paywalled maps"
Yeah I just closed the game, I'll log on daily to claim free tix from the store and the event currency but imma just hop on Tuesday get the rest of the event stuff and not play for a while
I'd so much rather pay extra money for private servers than pay the same money for a map that my friends cannot access.
guys we gotta stop giving good ideas otherwise they gon paywall those too
with this game dying its the perfect time to transition into actually skating irl if people dont already
Paywall private servers, idc, it's a better way to make money than what they are already doing.
I physically CANNOT skate.
what’s a guy supposed to do on a rainy day now tho 😭
oh, looks like the reddit post i made is about to be deleted. fun.
read the season 3 patch now multiple time again, can still not believe it, i could actually cry this is more than just broken trust
Tell that to my snapped ACL 😭
discussion on moderation will be moderated
it would be funny if it wasn’t true 💀
funny part is im dead serious😞😭
carpet with a board that has no trucks on it , if ur someones upstairs neighbour tho gg . hopefully they like u .
acc cant wait for someone to decompil + recompile the game if ygm
only hope rn
cope*
I cant wait till an offline parch made by the community
Game is turning to sh*t. The haters are justified.
hell just look at Payday 2, they gave the game to like 5 fans to keep working on, and they fixed long standing issues while Payday 3 is struggling.
if the community wasnt as strong as it was the game would have been dead already, the best promo it gets are people making edits on social media . if only they reciprocated the feeling 💀
and to think I’m running out of arguments to refute them
thats the concern, ppl we defended the game from are now actually right, that we r dumb af if we defend this shii
Would never happen though.
Unfortunately this will be the straw that breaks the camels back... as someone who has been a long standing defender.
they lucky EAAC is good at its job
just know a modder couldve created every piece of content we got and more, in less than a fraction of the timeframe
There is no defending this. They are playing in our faces
if Stop Killing Games gets anywhere, they basically have to i believe.
fr i was hyping this game up to all of my friends and having to keep telling them “just gotta wait for some game modes to be added” for over a year now is just sad
You guys way overestimate how many people actually care if you think this will make a dent in the population, you gotta remember that people who voices their criticisms either here or in the subreddit are minority
Most people are normal and don’t spend their free time screaming about stuff they dislike on reddit all day lmao
I feel for the devs who were probably just like, "We need help, hire a few more people, let us control the decisions," while the suits just replied, "Tough, no, and add a paywall for the first month of Grom access."
However most of the normal people arent playing the game anymore so
yea the joke about it being a 2-3 dev team is..
this always such a weird response to ppl being reasonably upset at a company going against their words
Just let the man have his hope.
Please don’t spend your money folks
agreed, normal people don’t spend a dime on this game anymore
normal ppl 😭
i disagree, this discord if anything is the loud minority of actual positivity for the game. its typically not that negative. regular players have already completely dropped the game, i havent been able to get anyone i know to play more than 1 session and i knew tons of people with hundreds of hours on skate 3
what it makes us
I dunno man, the need to post “I’m deleting and everyone come with me” seems to scream attention seeker
Yo, anybody know the "rip chips" from the daily challenges reset also with season 3? or only the blue tix for seasson pass?
🫂
but they did not drop it cause of paywalls or other greedy stuff more cause the Lack of content/modes And skate biggest issue right now is the repetitive challenges and lackluster events
I have been playing the game daily since launch, but yesteday was the first time I didn't bother. I thought this game had a lot of potential, but man going back on their word on one of the most crucial aspects of the game is rough.
He just wants to hold out hope that a game he loves will last. Doesn't make him a shill. Misguided, perhaps, but not necessarily a shill.
ah yeah but the need to post in defense of a billion dollar company definitely doesn’t scream that at all tho right
They don't know about the paywalls, lucky them
ngl there was a lot of bashing of dumb shiii ppl said the game is bad, but this is the first time for me, and craziest outing, we talk abt the tutorial island been gated behind paywall or for grinding to get frkn 24 hour acces in wich normal ppl will eat work and sleep WTF
they're prioritizing paid content over addressing the gameplay problems, and going back on their word about paywalled areas. That's the core problem. They've ruined player's trust.
Who is defending EA? Calling out attention seekers =/= defending a company
You keep them
There are other skating games
If you want something more arcadey, the two recent THPS remakes are perfect for that itch
For more realistic skating, I recommend Session and Skate Style
My personal biggest pet peeve with skate right now is not the paywall cause I can live with the original map awhile longer but more that Sessions replay editor still eats skate editor for breakfast
session has its own issues but if you want to play something without 900 popups begging for money its a good start
and we are still in Early Access. The game isn't even fundamentally finished yet and they're adding paid map expansions.
I like session, I actually like the controls too, but it just feels clunky
thanks but its not the same..
brother there is nothing to do in the game ur talking ab the replay editor
skate. has the perfect foundation for movement mechanics both on board and off board imo
just a shame EVERYTHING else around it is a spit in the face
Cause I like free skating mostly and make personal clips, just my preference, never did any of the story or challenges in the original games
i fw session heavy rn , ive been playing a lot. it definitely can feel clunky and theres SO much customization in your settings to iron your game out . it also just takes more precision, u have significantly less room for error compared to skate where you'd just get revert help and not notice you made an error
fair but at the same time your skater is the weakest thing on the planet a strong breeze will send him flying off the board
My personal enjoyment of all the skate games was to have something chill to free skate with while I chill on the couch with some podcast on and so far skate still delivers on that
Sessions does as well, I switch back and forth between em with some shredders chucked in sometimes
yea lol the collision is wack, ur shirt clips a wall and its like u got hit by a truck
This. The closest is obviously Skate 3 but once you’re used to just getting up when you bail, the VHS-teleport of Skate 3 feels…. Slow.
I dont like session its too hard for the wrong reasons
Haha, I'm happy about that, but you can't say it's fair; earning as much as was possible at the beginning isn't so easy anymore.
watertaxi fund 😄
the transition in session is where u immediately see why people play skate. 😭
Although I see what your saying, they send out surveys in email although very rarely. Why send out 50 min surveys if they don’t listen to the feedback lmao
skaterXL with a few mods is nice too ngl
i havent played skaterxl yet but the gameplay does look rly nice from what i've seen . def want to try it eventually
and with season pass they useless again, and the guys without cash can struggle to travel? 😄
I'd be interested to know how many rip chips some people actually really have at the moment 😄
don’t get me wrong it’s got issues, the vanilla physics are floaty and horrible, so you’d be best modding it whenever you do try it. but there’s plenty of discords for maps, clothing, general mods 🙂 milky did a big video on modding it too
i barely have any, i'm still buying all the crates up
Cause all u dumb people keep telling them stuff they don’t wanna hear obviously hahah
I know I have around 180k....but i've been playing since the playtest and have had nothing to unlock for a very long time
There is a lot of proof that they've gone back on their word too, which is kinda funny to see that they tried but failed to hide
yea i dont mind having to mod it, i heard theres like replay editor mods too? sounds like theres a lot to get into
im out now, just wanted to make sure the update is not rlly a joke or seeing an stance of an official from the team but yea, dont forget with the promised now broken, paywall tricks are not impossible anymore
waterTAXi
yessir, plenty of mods. the community made the game good after the devs abandoned it which hopefully will happen with skate.
I dunno why we gotta call each other dumb, can't we just have a civil discussion? It's not that difficult.
That's exactly what I mean, the players who have been there since the beginning don't know what to do with the chips, while others have to work really hard for them.
...
I don't want to badmouth the game in general! If you're really thinking about skating and not flight simulators or anything like that, it's a great game.
Mhm
It’s us the players against the devs and EA. We shouldn’t be fighting lol
Session has never clicked for me. It always ran like trash, with terrible ghosting. Ragdoll is way too easily triggered and crusing around felt like a chore. I do prefer sessions control scheme though. I did prefer SkaterXL over session just because it ran better, but it was just very simplistic in comparison. Honestly I'm just a sucker or high quality animations, so I ended up going with Riders Republic for my skating needs, until Skate. dropped.
Might be time to go back to RR
Session is good, but it's very outdated compared to other skate games. Only recently did they let you land with a manual. I understand they have less money than EA, but there are basic things they could improve. The game is practically abandoned, there are good updates like yesterday's, but nothing compares to Skate., even though I don't like how they manage the game.
im also at around 180k... but think there are guys with waaay more haha
how much challenges you have to play now to get this? daaaaaaamn
Jeez what a mess
I seriously wonder how the next meeting at FC is going to be.
Marketing person 1: So that last social media post did not go down well
Marketing person 2: Well what if we now go back to the community and make the Island free
Marketing person 1: Yea let's do that! People will really think we are listening
yeah i am sort of biased cuz i only recently started playing, i have noticed/read a ton of reviews on steam which are not the happiest . so yea hopefully it can get back on track cuz this recent update appears to be well received
I gave up doing all the rotating daily challenges a long time ago, I could have way more if I stuck with doing them, but I saw it as pointless
More like they just continue on the plan they created 3 years ago without taking on board any feedback that may have been given to them 😭
Yes they will, unfortunately though. They are loosing their most loyal supporters now.
Once that happens there is no way back
Real lol. I do agree that they shouldn't have lied to us and it's right for everyone to be fustrated, but at the same time, calling people names isn't right. We should in this server have more civil discussions, almost everytime I'm here there is either name calling, rage baiting, etc
Their message calling me dumb is still there yet I get moderated for my response😂 I guess yall have a great day
think the most guys gave up haha, but there are some with waaaaay more than 250k i think hahaha
maybe we can buy group/friend waterTAXis anytime hahaha
or daaamn, maybe something like a weekly TAXi ): hahaha
then they will brake the next promise not paywalled tricks tho
I only do in Market Mile now but just to get to 10, after that I'm done, it feels like such a chore to do the same challenges every day for minimal reward. The whole point in doing them is to increase rep, the small amount of rip chips on the side are just a small, but not that valuable bonus. I could spend like 20 minutes doing them all to get next to nothing. Or spend 5 minutes to do my dailys and get enough for a box.
You might like it, I admit that sometimes I get into the game and enjoy it, but what I personally dislike the most is the way the skater remains static when doing a manual or grind. I can't accept that they don't have the money to improve that, even after several years of the game and even being on consoles.
Say no more or they will wipe our ripchips too
if it gave rip score instead of chips id clear the map erryday. chips have 0 purpose rn and they are getting even more irrelevant with people maxing out and getting a stash built up. 
Jeff said they wouldn't charge for RipChips, but after what happened with PayWalls, it's hard to believe.
I feel for you. At the beginning you got alot more chips per challenge but they realised and nerfed the hell out of it. Now theyre only worth doing in a party, because that alone gives you 20, where as solo, its like 5 per goal.
For me they have a purpose until I get all boxes maxed (close to done for that), but then after that I'll be in the same boat as pretty much everyone else. I would much rather rip score be there, but I already have a lot of that.
I’m just thinking about those rip rewards….. they be haunting me
If you stop after opening all the boxes you won't be on any boat, as that alone costs 500 hahahahaha (unless you get the premium pass, or the premium premium pass, or the super mega ultra premium pass)
Exactly, but even then, finding a party is difficult. I prefer to do just my dailies and weeklies, then move on. Monthlies too. I don't focus on the challenges anymore unless I need the tix for something or it's Market Mile so I can get 10 (I am taking a break from the game rn so it might be a while). I only co-op if needed for monthly, weekly, daily, etc.
Just a side note... 180,000 Rip-Chips can get you a taxi ride for exactly 360 days, that is, a whole YEAR!!! 🚙 🔃
Have they cleared up the battlepass situation?
Right now there's free and premium right? Are they adding another tier on top which grants access to the map before others?
I still have many DIY and builder boxes to buy
They are adding a higher tier but not said much about it
I plan to get the secret super mega ultra premium extra special edition pass
yeah, for someone with plenty of ripchips its blessed.. you'd probably even accumlate the daily watertaxi fee from just tasks being indirectly complete in general
I CANNOT imagien what it would be like for fresh spawns
Hmm I assume its going be like Diablo 4 then? Tier skips etc The 'cheat' pass if you like.
brokie, I’m getting the omega super secret mega ultra premium extreme extra special edition pass pro max
or ppl tryyna finish other things, esp after the ripchip nerfs
well not if i get the secret mega ultra super premium version of the secret super mega ultra premium extra special edition pass
yeah! so you can hold your chips again haha
I don’t think the ultra premium tier is gonna have grom locked behind it. My understanding is that there is the premium and premium +
Premium + sounds like the battle pass boosters to start out with the first couple pages done or sum 🤷
If we make enough noise, maybe we'll get them to change their minds
If you know what I mean
I know that grom is gonna be premium only I just don’t think it’s premium + only (for that time period)
That's peak tbh
"hmm people are complaining how long it takes to complete the pass. should we speed up Tix gain? No we'll just add another tier of pass that skips a couple pages."
Yeah the only thing it mentioned specifically was extra tickets, which isnt very 'inviting' since they are now only good for that season. Maybe there will be more to it, but if its just tickets, its for the FOMO crowd who have more money than sense.
I’ll never understand this tactic, why do people pay more to have less stuff to do
Which will cost you 69 dollars
Yes, yes, good show, good show
They will probably create a weekly goal where you get one waterTIXI (pun) ticket for free each week.
I'm just waiting for them to announce that gamemodes will not be added in S3 as it was stated in the roadmap "season 3 and beyond"
and all you get in return is a hotdog and a handshake
waterTAXi
POPS ain’t no way
Finally, someone gets it
jolly
Constructive feedback/constructive criticism is welcome and encouraged.
Insults, rage-bait, trolling, non-constructive comments will be moderated.
This will include, but not be limited to:
- Reminders/Warnings
- Timeouts/mutes
- Extended timeouts/mutes
- Removal from the server
This isn't something we want to happen to anyone, and discussion of moderation in-channel will result in a 3 day timeout.
do we get the roadmap today?
haha
For $19.99 yeah
cheeseburgers today too!
ain’t wayyyyyy
i've got early access cheeseburgers rn lmao
hi burger
i just read the dev update and im sick to my stomach
Roadmap will talk about cheeseburgers?
Weren't you defending the dev team a few hours ago?
i dont remember that
cant even begin to share my disgust with the most recent update, plus the game just doesnt start and bricks my computer whenever i boot it up :)
I love some cheeseburgers
this cat will heal the world
correct
cat of all time
hes so joyful
big ol eye kittie
Bricking does mean: it's a brick. It doesn't work anymore
If it crashes and you just need to reboot, or even reinstall OS, that's not bricked
Can't wait to have brickswitch locked behind a paywall
lol
have ppl stopped raging or are we just takin a break before another innings?
we will be back
I really appreciate the clear promise that there would be “no map areas locked behind a paywall,” and I’m impressed by how creatively that’s being honored.
It definitely makes future promises feel much more flexible and open to interpretation.
I’m excited to continue trusting upcoming updates with that same level of confidence and consistency. /S
Yeah but you can pay to see it early
I think a lot of people are still upset, it's just people have lives so they can't always be here etc
I hope we never stop raging, that way maybe they stop with those terrible updates
i'd like to provide the next topic of rage...
Paid Grom is the BEST Grom
discuss.. or rage.. idc
investing back into the city
our tax tix going to work
how will those cracks be fixed in the roads?
who will pickup our garbage?
shadow wizard money gang
sweep up all those leaves
I'm not even raging or discussing anymore.
They are removing all posts from this discord and subreddit that are related to this.
I'm just here to see how people react.
Personally I already stopped playing when S1 released, but was hoping for gamemodes in season 3.
Pretty sure those are also a no-go
how do you feel about the update?
The fact they changed the FAQ is the nail in the coffin.
Not only are they doubling down on the Grom decision, but we may very well get even more egregious monitisation for new areas in the future.
Last I saw on reddit some posts were still up but I feel like it won't be very long before they are removed. I don't even have a reddit account lol
This feels like when some douche takes your favorite childhood franchise and makes a cash grab horror movie using the Ip.
Reddit has always been where the complaints live, but yesterday everyone here was raging and I saw others on other platforms which is unusual, so it’s really struck a nerve
pro tip: just make a new account and never leave the island, don’t pay ANY money lmao
What are yalls opinions on S1, looking back at it a few months later?
10/10
Your standards are really low if you truly think S1 was 10/10
i am betting access to grom via fresh accts will be walled off to just tutorial areas as you go through them.. thats if its the same Grom..
otherwise i'm fully expecting 2 versions of grom.. one tutorial and one paid
But tutorial island is different to the Isle of Grom, there's like an extra bowl on Grom 😱 /s
Its 2 versions
Generally I think we're all waiting on the roadmap, if I had to guess.
oh was that mentioned? must have missed that in the rage chat lol
Honest opinion (I’ve been in the playtest since the beginning of 2023):
Everything they’ve released so far — except the gameplay, which was copied from Black Box — has been lackluster and had corporate decision-making written all over it.
The fact it's not even open for a month for anyone else lol
yea i asked jeff
he said new players will get the current version of tutorial island
no offense but this completely blows
what did you not like?
lol yeah
Today's roadmap will decide whether the game still has hope or not, even with the broken trust
Do you guys think maybe we get night time since they are adding "dark slides" ?
So we’re gonna have 2 islands? A tutorial island you play free for 10 minutes and then a second island that is exactly like the first but with an extra snake run that costs a subscription fee or daily grinding to access for a limited time?
I didn't dislike it, it was just not interesting. No new game modes, no new areas, nothing
$25.99 sure
For 9.99
Guys the Isle of Grom announcement is a distraction from the Tix Auto-exchange announcement which is a distraction from the Isle of Grom announcement 🤯
Guess Brickswitch and Park editor have been delayed
i think roadmap today may outline that
he also made another comment about them being different for the purpose of challenges and all that
Well they go hand-in-hand right?
Why let people have 100k tix, if you want them to pay for the new island
Let's make them all loose all tix for items, so they have to grind new tix to buy the boatpass
They still haven’t opened Brickswich and are already paywalling content they promised not to.
Calling it now those features come halfway through season 3
or better yet, Skitching vehicles. 🙃🤷🏼♂️
The fact that they denied it's the same as the tutorial island just because of one more bowl shows how dirty EA can be.
You don't by the boat pass with tix though
It's pretty easy to get 500 rip chips
they said the map is updated throughout. And adds challenges.
Just 100 challenge goals right 😂
It’s also incredibly boring
So quick and absolutely not grindy 😂
No that’s the premium dark pass in season 6
If this was the intent from the begining or whatever we'd be fine but the fact that they lied and are removing any evidence they see of them being exposed for lying is just sad. I wish certian things with this game were better done.
We couldn't give a single f*** about challenges. All they changed about the tutorial island was adding a ridiculous bowl
“Things change” is corporate speak for “we didn’t want to live up to our promises.”
watching the new road map contradict the devs is the funniest thing ever😂 theres this guy on tiktok who just puts clips of what the devs are saying and then proves them wrong😭
It's easy to get them until we actually need them, that's when they'll start charging for them.
Can't believe they respond to someone on twitter sayin it's not behind a paywall because you can have access later , lmao
oh you got to skate the new grom?
Changing the FAQ in such a fundamental way, after having how they would respect our time in the tix change update, I'm not sure if any time I invest will be respected much in the future 😅
I hope that we'll get a sunset sky someday
"coming very soon... in 2069!" - Full Circle
I’d take brickswich boxes too would be nice to spend some of the stash
i mean i don't know why you guys bother with this game since it sucks so hard. ea has fundamentally ruined the skate franchise
the only thing I care about challenge related, is that I hope to never have to grind around the roof of that stadium ever again
Idk look at the picture of new grom the lighting does look way more orange I think it might be
Roadmap will go like
Season 3:
Redacted
Season 4:
Redacted
Season 5 and beyond:
Redacted
I feel personally victimized by that roof
I think it’s funny that you’re dismissing challenges to minimize what you think of it. They updated the map and added challenges and that’s what makes a difference. You can’t just say it doesn’t matter to fit your narrative.
I really want to see what this game was like in its early phase, i saw a tester say it was nothing like this and was way better.
It was pretty bad in the old city for testing also though.
Its roughly the daily login rewards each day.
Because it is a good game in certian areas. People just don't like that the devs lied, and that certian things are done such as no more roll over of tix, grom being 500 chips every 24 hours just to access, expensive shop stuff, and more.
People have been complaining about challenges since day 1. We need new game modes, not new challenges
It was better.
everybody wants something different. this is just what you want
season 3 leak: skateboard
The 15 people that shill this game are keeping it from improving
I need more Nosebleed challenges
I really just hope they buff rip chips gained from them again so it's easier to stockpile them to access the island. And, maybe, give us both RC and tix for event challenges.
Can't wait for the 3 new darkslide challenge i'll be spamming for 3 months straight every week
😭 nooo
When they said the rip chip buff always was a bug and not intended I doubt that lol
They went all in on a multiplayer game but nothing to do with multiple players. MMO game where you grind challenges alone and other people ride by occasionally
What stinks is that a lot of the challenges are just stale, boring, way too easy to complete. Even stuff on Pro for me it's just a walk in the park, but it also doesn't help that it's the same few challenges every day/season. Yes I want new game modes. For example, deathraces, and even s.k.a.t.e. would be fun to see. However, I also want more varity in the challenges. Repeating the same few every season/day isn't fun. I still do for Market Mile until 10 (I'm on a break rn so that'll be a while) so after that I won't be doing any more but, new players would get annoyed too for sure.
I have never played any Skate game before this, and one of the only reasons I got this game on Sep 16th was that it's free
“Season 4 is here! And to help usher in the summer, we are bringing those chill summer nights to San Vansterdam! That’s right—nightfall has graced the city—exclusively for players who purchase the skate.Pass Ultra Premium Deluxe Mega Super Duper! Don’t want to pay for the skate.Pass Ultra Premium Deluxe Super Duper? That’s ok, you can access dynamic lighting from July 12th-July 13th by paying 500 Rip Chips, 2,000 Tix, or 1,000 Hot Dogs for a brief 24 hour period.
Enjoy!
The Skate Dev Team”
We already suffering through the dev update so might as well add more misery
season 4 leak: Ebola outbreak in san van - 2500 SVB for a hazmat suit
50 impossible into darkslides
i wont lie, i dont think I did a single darkslide that wasnt on accident in skate 3
i promise we have no impact on the game lmao
ive done like 90% accidental impossibles
oh god I forgot they said that you're actually so right 
Can't believe we have people defending this update. This dude even sounds like a bot
We have so much power, it all comes from the heart
I am wondering how they will try to promote this through their channels though.
Like will they just act normal while the house is on fire?
Or will they have the "skate council players" promote this through their videos?
The only way I can see them saving this, is to actually give in to all critisism.
Be 100% honest
Share an actual roadmap where we can work towards without vague "early access" excuses.
Apologize to the people who have been supporting this
im tired of "What I dont like must be AI"
idc
It’s from the heart my friends ❤️
I feel like half of the people defending this are just rage baiting/trolling.
shingo needs to be tried for crimes against humanity for creating the abomination that is 'vee', skater eyes is the stupidest concept imagineable, the whole game sucks, going live service was the nail in the coffin that we'll never get another good skate. game, hopefully the saudis somehow pull this dumpster fire of a videogame from the dirt and breathe some life back into it
fr bro😭 all those surveys for testers was for nothing.
Buying and playing shows them the game is fine
They will release gameplay footage of darkslides, with someone wearing dunks, go to the pub and wait for it all to blow over
Shingo hated Reda so much he replaced him with AI smh
talking in discord is having little to no impact
I don't. Those are the kind of players attracted by live service game
discord is a survey?
i just realized this is a survey
Then what’s the point of doing anything ever
I heard youre a bot, did you read the dev update
Tyler was a bot earlier - entire tylerGPT arc yesterday where he learned not to use em-dashes... im so proud of him, he's a real boy now 💙
-# (I appreciate you tyler dont take this seriously)
I’m reading it right now.
these are all lobotomites who have never played a good skate. game
what does that have to do with me
how long until the notes drop so i can ignore this community for another week?
I will continue to play until it’s gone. I wanted this game for way too long. I absolutely love the old games but at least this is still fresh atm 
😎😎❤️
I don't hate Shingo, he was cool in other games but here it's just, idek. Vee is annoying, and the whole skater eyes thing is just not cool.
Skater eyes, skate lies.
now it all makes sense.
He's still mad about losing that game of SKATE what a dweeb
vee's dialogue had to have either been written by someone who has never skated before or by an LLM there's no way a human with life behind their eyes was behind it
i love this new updates coming in ea skate! keep it up
wow they finally added back tutorial island? man that took a while lol
*with paid access
fasho took a while but we finna be BACK
And it might be their worst announcement yet given how it's brought back
actually this could probably go for all of the creative decisions on this game or just the direction in general. "ChatGPT make my game as soul-less and money-grabbing as possible"
Same super excited for all the changes. Season3 gonna be crazy
Intresting
At this point I kinda hope they don't add any new story, the type of stuff they're probably making will be "Glorbus the Mighty and his army of space lizards has invaded San Vansterdam, let's shred and show him who's boss gang!"
yeah me too
what the actual meatman?!?! this is 100% not a miracle.. more like a whip!
https://tenor.com/view/hold-up-hold-up-meme-fallout-meme-gif-3737350009659669155
the best thing we can do now so is to show that we're really displeased with the latest announcements and if we cant voice our opinions we can at least pay for Grom premium access and give then our hard earned.. || didnt see that plot twist did ya||
Oh i uninstalled a long while ago. I just poke back in here from time to see if they're doing anything with it. Grom premium? please tell me that's not real...
it is
for like a month
I have absolutely played nothing but tony hawk's pro skater 5 and HD, let's turn Skate. into that - that's what the kids yearn for
there is a Premium+ tier pass being added.. who knows what that means atp
And then it's open to anyone for not even a month. And then it's locked behind day passes for Rip Chips
I have played THPS1+2, THPS3+4 and Session before Skate 2025
threeish weeks of completely free and 500 rip chips for 24 hours is fine, but i might be biased as someone with like 30k rip chips lol
and as someone who's probably gonna be staying on the main island anyway because i like street
24 hour limit is insane regardless of how many rip chips you have
wow.. well, it's a good thing I bought a copy of skate 3 for my nephews birthday, at least he will be able to enjoy that without milking mom & dads credit card. I told him about this game on launch, no interest. Handed him a copy of skate 3, plays it immediately.
It's not fine
I'm not gonna boot up a game after work to grind challenges to be able to access an area I wanna play in lol
Because that's just disrespecting my time
jokes aside i really enjoyed 1+2, really brought back the feel of older titles. may actually pick up 3+4 if it turned out to be solid
-# and goes on sale... im broke 🥀
At least they listened to our feedback lol
imagine waiting for thps 3+4 and see they change the whole game mechanic☠️
Let's all "No Comply" with this company who ruined our nostalgia.
good on you but milking mom and dads credit card is very much on mom and dad and not the game lol
@shut willow fair
I give this game 3-4 months
sorry to let you in on this but nostalgia only exists in your head
I haven't played the originals so 4's career change didn't bother me at all
3+4 is a horrible example, they copied everything from 1+2 (even bugs) and added new maps.
Then they fired the whole team.
Activision is no better than EA
oh sure. but microtransactions are not the result of bad parenting, they're the result of coporate greed. Of course parents shouldn't allow this. But kids find ways. Marketing teams know this, its capitialized.
EA continues to be the pinnacle of slop game design
nostalgia lives on a ps1, in THPS Mall level with Goldfinger - Superman as the soundtrack
A free to play game needs MTX outside of greed solely to be sustainable
But they can be done okayish, and they can be done disrespectful
If its just in my head, then apparently, many people share my nostagia.
I did, and frankly i think ill still be okay with it. I still highly recommend giving the originals a go if you're able! They're amazing, especially 4, Underground, and American Wasteland, but there really isn't a bad title before THPSHD if you ask me
for those that got the founders pack did yall just blow your SVB ? They gave enough for a couple seasons worth of content if you just save them? maybe buying a few items from the shop here and there. I feel for everyone who doesn’t have the SVB and I don’t agree with their decision but I still don’t think it’s worth getting upset over. They are doing this for money reasons yes but I’m sure it’s also to give the “smaller” map a sort of stress test. I know they were having issues with people being stuck on the island back when game dropped 🤷 just keeping an open mind
tbh i couldnt be bothered finishing my point so just left it at that lol
I lived on wasteland as a kiddo
gr8 game lmao
Should play the rest of the games. I haven't played 2, but I've seen some game play footage and heard from others it's good. However, I've played 1 and 3 and quite enjoy them a lot. Also Skate It is fine too, not a must play by any means but still not bad.
If you are refering to Skate. If not, it's my bad.
well that is a bit of a different argument. I'm firmly agains free2play games. microtransactions exist outside of them.
I bought 2 passes/packs actually, still did not spend any SVB on anything in game since I stopped playing when S1 released lol
Free to play games can be fine
free to play MTX games were invented by people with nothing but money on the mind, horrible argument. give me a game i need to pay 30 bucks for and nothing else and i'm happy
I still have all my SVB. havent seen anything that I really want yet. Atp probs just gonna buy the next pass
I still have SVB from founders and the gifted bucks from the start, dunno if I will have enough for another pass but I in theory should as I have bought very little from the shop
From the heart my friend ❤️❤️
i thought u could?
30 bucks? When did new games cost that much lol, not even in the 90s 😬
same..
@placid anchor us in game ⬆️
Thanks for sharing your opinion, you can like whatever you wish, free will and such. I won't argue about that, not why I'm here 🙂 ☮️
bro really linked me to someone elses gif ahaaaa
I played that one a lot as a kid, alongside other games and tbh it's a fun one.
yeah hit it
haha i'm dead 💀 😂
this has to be ragebait of some form
you must be new here
Why?
yeah sorry u guys are too good vibes, this chat doesnt deserve u🙏
Because I bought a lot of games in the 90s and they did cost more? Sure, rage bait 😂
My whole thing is….
I am not a fan of f2p but I get it. I appreciated the fact that only cosmetics would be paywalled. I would have been fine from the jump had they made maps paywalled and made cosmetics free and customizable. But this game is quickly becoming paywalled for everything. Those games are insufferable. They are “free to play” games that are essentially free to download. If you want anything beyond the barebones game, you’re forced to pay out the donkey for the real game.
Complete and total greed. This era of gaming is so anti-consumer is disgusting.
idc how much skate.pass premium+ im buying it cant wait for grom
Yea same, I have no reason not 2 since i got the SVB
Me when I rage bait
I think I have the svb. I dont know for sure. I'll have to still think on using em.
"there are no areas of gameplay or the map that you will have to pay to unlock" 
im still interested to see if the only difference between premiem and premiem + is tix
I wish I could donate my 7k SVB to a good cause and be done with it.
They gave me back my SVB from the store bug a couple months ago. Glad that got fixed
That would be very odd
I purchased SVB like once, and bought a 5 dollar bundle that came with them too. Also purchased the passes for both s1 and s2 but at this point I'd rather not spend much more on the game.
I'm thinking exclusive items and some page skips
Can i be level 15 now
cant belive the game gone downhill JUST as i learnt how to fly
that will be $30 sir. Monthly.
-# deep sigh
I could see a couple of branded decks, but think it will be a significant difference, like $10/$20 or can’t be bought with SVB
more cheeseburger talk
Imagine if they actually added a downhill for races
been wondering where you were
Still gotta show me how to said fly, need to unlock that character slot
It's 15 for blue name??? aw man im cooked
Ive been touching grass sadly
I still have all my SVB. havent seen anything that I really want yet. Atp probs just gonna buy the next pass
its 30 actually lol
nah thats 30

i would never
but like, extra tiers within the pass, or a bundle gift. I dunno, i'm curious. I'll prepare for the worst and hope for the best
ugh. how did it feel?
yeah u might need bit more than that 😭
I'm sure that the messages in these chats are fed into AI by EA to see how maximizing profits will jive with the community. Have to incentivize the conversation!
paywalled glitches damn
Gross honestly, wouldn’t recommend
OK thank you for telling me. I almost walked outside
i have to cut grass soon 😞
I stopped mowing my grass months ago.
Dont do it, its a trap
Damn. What's even at 15 then, orange?
yeh 15 is slow mode immune.. and orange
I'm never gonna reach 30 I guess lol
same and im at 27 😭
Tbh a lot of stuff in the passes for both s1 and s2 were fine (some of it was eh imo so not everything was great) but it lacked branded content. Glad they are adding that in for s3's pass.
Yea i got prob another month before first cut of the year
dont give up hope, i was orange only just yesterday.. now look at me, level 45 lmao
is that a good thing? if so, why?
The moment it got slightly chilly out here I stopped mowing. I wouldn’t even say that I truly have grass.
I respect my time so I haven't booted the game since the tix announcement tbh 😭
Wouldn’t surprise me if they walk back this most recent decision a bit, idc that much about a pass having timed exclusive access if they have a hard date for open availability which they do. The rent the area for 500 rips is more tedious than anything to me. I’ve got a pile and it wouldn’t surprise me if this is designed to chip away at people’s piles of them over the course of time
I spent all of itttt😭it was worth it though💯 I only got stuff I know I would wear or skate
cant wait for u to hit 30
no its just an internet number that is meaningless tbh
yep blew it
samesies
Also (hot take) I absolutely love the soundtrack of 3+4.
I know they cut out most of the classic bands like AAF, AC/DC and The Ramones, and for some of them that got brought back they used different songs (example: instead of Number Of The Beast, 2 Minutes To Midnight was used) the soundtrack is still excellent.
They got in Alice In Chains, Mastodon, Bad Brains, King Gizzard, Osees, Run The Jewels, Kendrick Lamar, Turnstile, 100 gecs, Denzel Curry, End It, Drain, Lupe Fiasco, Danny Brown, Jeff Rosenstock, KennyHoopla and more.
Its not gonna happen I dont be typing 💀
now your 66
oh ok. Honestly I can shoot for that... 1/3 of the way already 
-# just gotta start yapping about burgers.
Emphasis on End It, I love that band
its literally the best level up .. slow mode immune is almost priceless
Authotkey copy/pasta with AI on the slowmode timer. done. Would likely fool the chat.
New Wage Slavery was a banger choice
Locking the island behind premium and then making us pay rip chips to visit it. Jesus what a dumpster fire. Be better.
The real criticism was missing some of the original bangers like AAF and Zebrahead but it's overall solid
Not to toot my own horn but think I came up with a great solution, posted it in the skate ideas channel
End It rules, Akil is insane (complimentary)
bricks
I assumed the missing tracks were due to licensing issues
It's a shame that they are doing this. I don't care the reasoning, it just sucks.
mhm yeah
saved you a click: #general-discussion message
Once I have that I'll be unstoppable.... waiting 2 minutes just to respond to you with something I have typed up in 30 seconds sucks lmao
Possible, though Zebrahead can't be that expensive/hard to get surely. 2 Minutes to Midnight was a better call than Number of the Beast though
According to Tony himself, it was mostly because he wanted to introduce people to new music
He personally chose Fontaines D.C., IDLES and X-Ray Spex for the 3+4 soundtrack
before immunity was even a thing we used to edit our previous messages with replies from the future 😎
Also it's not even a new place it's the tutorial island revamped, like what.
mah gif :(
I wish he just kept all original tracks + new school bangers. Our games now are big enough to hold very large soundtracks, doesn’t make sense to me.
I've edited my messages a LOT here, but the chat goes so fast they sometimes get buried anyway 
How many 'points' do you get for typing? 5 ripchips?
foiled once again 😞
ChatGPT how do i maximize profit without doing any work?
lets be fr, if they dropped a new place or brickswitch people would complain "why no grom!"
It's awesome how IDLES is in both Skate. and Tony Hawk
Ngl the new isle of Grom looks promising from the map view
but paywalling itttt🤢
Paid access to the Isle of Grom... it's absolute nonsense!
I like how pretty much everyone here is discussing grom
The issue with dropping brickswitch would be, it is like right in the city, so how would you charge people for it?!
this is a sentiment I actually completely agree with
I really hope they add at least one fast travel in brick though, jumping from m-corp gets tedious
It’s insane looking back on that video of them saying that no skate-able areas will have a paywall
Prewind
There is one already but it is just locked
We need Brickswich because every great skate spot deserves a greasy, legendary sandwich that fuels clips, chaos, and community sessions.
Feels like the ultimate betrayal or something 😭
That's my point- give it to us for doing something, even if they take it back when it releases
There is one, but it's locked. I asume they will add more, we just dunno when.
We’re getting a post today correct?
What’s the situation in here now? Are you allowed to criticise bad decisions or does the ban hammer strike relentlessly
Here are the classic cheeseburger ingredients:
Core
- Ground beef patty
- Cheese (American, cheddar, Swiss, etc.)
- Burger buns (top and bottom)
Fresh Toppings
- Lettuce
- Tomato slices
- Onion (raw or grilled)
- Pickles
Condiments
- Ketchup
- Mustard
- Mayonnaise
- Burger sauce (optional)
Optional Add-Ons
- Bacon
- Sautéed mushrooms
- Fried egg
- Jalapeños
- Caramelized onions
At its simplest, it’s bun, beef, and melted cheese. Everything else is customization.
Lol did you guys see the FAQ before and after?
ya
Bruh I js found out you gotta pay for the isle of grom and in an interview hey guys from skate said there no pay to win or no paying for parts of the map
you could always criticise it, you just you know... be constructive.
fried egg is excellent
I want them to give us a option to buy food on Skate 😭💯
When brickswitch does happen isn’t it just gonna be the same place with challenges I feel like it’s gonna change nothing
Even going back on a previous "promise" can happen.
If they would have explained why they made this choice people would be less angry.
Right now it's just deleting angry posts from here and on reddit, and act like all of us are stupid
i'm hoping for an SLS style park in the stadium, not one of the rotating AI generated ones tho
me rn
New loot boxes for socks babyyyy
i'll take a cheeseburger with lettuce, carmelised onions, mustard, jalepenos and bacon
dont like != ai generated
Yes. But now you will need to buy a 24 hour pass To get them.... Lol
Yeah that’s what the game needs
I find it funny they couldn't even name the new fast travel point in Market Mile and for a while it had the name ID_FASTTRAVELPOINT_MARKET_MILEVAULT
yeah i just found out about that & tutorial island being $$walled. I thought missing tricks were bad enough.....
Will no any paywall game areas... We present you the Isle of Grom, which one is need Skate.Pass Premium to get to... So pathetic!
I do legitimately wish they'd added brick before grom, finish out the home area before branching further
Im still getting the pass tho
A hot, juicy beef patty with a caramelized crust, wrapped in perfectly melted cheese that drips over the edges. Soft, toasted buns cradle crisp lettuce, ripe tomato, and tangy pickles, all brought together with a rich, savory sauce. Every bite is warm, juicy, and perfectly balanced — simple, messy, and irresistible.
⬆️ lovely weather we’re having
The premium pass is buns
i'm buying the pass for my dormant alt robot acct .. just to give EA more $$
If u want to ruin that just put a packet of Swiss miss on it.
We already got food vendors all over the map might as well make them useful (with ripchips) 
The decision to paywall Grom, even temporarily, is the most wildly disappointing decision that I have experienced regarding any game I've loved to play in the last ten years.
-# Look, I'm alive.
Swiss Miss, Instant Piss /ref
Then you spend the chips you had saved up and instantly get the socks and that’s it lol
So are we days or weeks behind devs backtracking ?
This is EA Star Wars paid progression levels of nonsense.
That sounds like the kind of burger that could start a revolution. The beef patty alone is practically a masterpiece, and with that melt-in-your-mouth cheese, it's like every element was crafted by food gods. The crunchy lettuce, juicy tomato, and zesty pickles bring that perfect contrast, and the sauce? Absolute game-changer. You could probably taste it in your dreams.
Still waiting to meet this alt you speak of. Seems like you hiding it from us
What we need is the ability to chain smoke darts and dash longnecks. Boring developers
At that point it’s not even a burger, it’s a full boss battle for your taste buds. One bite and suddenly you’re silent, staring into space like you just landed the cleanest line of your life 🛹.
Nice pfp
I completely agree.
That’s not just a burger — that’s an experience. When the patty’s cooked perfectly and the cheese melts just right, it honestly feels unfair to every other meal. Then you get that crunch from the lettuce, the burst from the tomato, the sharp kick from the pickles — it’s balanced chaos in the best way.
And yeah… the sauce is what seals the deal. That’s the detail that takes it from “really good” to “I’m thinking about this at 2AM.”
Dream-worthy is accurate.
And then also making the dead space bundle 40 euro I think they've officially become insane
Exactly! It’s like you’re entering a culinary boss fight, and each bite is a power-up. The moment you take that first glorious bite, it’s like time slows down, and you’re transported to a higher plane of flavor. After that, you gotta pause, catch your breath, and give a standing ovation to whoever made it—because that’s not just food, that’s an experience. You don’t just eat it, you survive it.
We have to pay to go to the tutorial island!?
I’ve seen so many Ai skate edits of people smoking 😭people actually want this
but mah laptop.. the effort 😭
Ratty Patty’s for all of the homies
don't agree ≠ must reply
if you ignore the smoking, none of the last games had smoking
Shame we’ll never get it. Smokers are the most oppressed class in society
it’s like the universe just aligns for that moment. Every bite is like a symphony—each flavor plays its part, but the sauce? That’s the conductor. It’s the kind of meal that haunts you in the best way, making you question why all food isn’t as flawless. You’re not just eating—you’re experiencing the pinnacle of flavor, and that burger stays with you long after the last bite. It’s the kind of thing you daydream about while staring at the clock, counting down to your next burger experience.
ok
It's something that could have been made for 0 dollars, which really is insane
aw crap, i did it again
i used to.. but then.. wasnt.. the end
Haha one day we will see it
Got you. That’s the kind of meal that makes everything else taste like background noise afterward. You just sit there quiet, questioning if food even gets better than that.
Did you sneeze?
You’re not wrong — that’s the kind of burger that bends reality a little.
The first bite? Juice runs down your hand before you even realize it. The patty is smoky and rich, the cheese molten and silky, stretching just enough before it gives in. The bun is warm and soft but sturdy, soaking up all that flavor like it was built for this exact moment.
Then the layers hit. The crisp snap of lettuce. The sweet burst of tomato. The sharp tang of pickles cutting through the richness. And that sauce — creamy, savory, slightly sweet — coating everything like velvet. It doesn’t just tie it together, it commands it.
You’re not chewing. You’re surrendering.
By the last bite, you slow down without meaning to. Because you already know — this isn’t just food. It’s the kind of flavor that lingers in your memory, randomly resurfacing at 3PM on a Tuesday, making you crave that exact, dripping, perfect bite all over again.
That’s the kind of burger that makes you lean back after and just exhale like you accomplished something. No talking, no phone, just quiet respect while your brain tries to process what just happened. You don’t plan your next meal after that, you recover.
Facts I can’t even think of any games that allows smoking besides GTA😭
do you remember that time?
like when we?
doesnt skate 3 have a pro that has a cig in his mouth
you guys have such a way with words they should hire you to help develop the game 😍
They don’t want us locked into the cure
Bully, but tbf that was made by the same company
The biggest reveal is that Full Circle was MCorp all along.
A smoke a day keeps the doctor away
ngl i clicked all those knowing where i would end up 😂
If u want to ruin a pbnj put tacobell hot sauce on it.
Exactly.
That’s not a “grab and go” burger — that’s a sit-down, hands-on-the-table, stare-into-the-middle-distance kind of meal.
You take that last bite, wipe your hands, lean back… and just exhale. No scrolling. No small talk. Just quiet respect. Your brain is still replaying textures — the crust on the patty, the melt of the cheese, the way the sauce tied everything together. It’s less “I’m full” and more “I’ve been changed.”
You don’t plan your next meal after that.
You recover.
How do u check ur rank?
i mean, ig, its no longer a pbnj
what in the chatgpt who in here is talking with a bot
Nothing is free 😢
Unfortunately, no matter the explanation, I feel that the whole grom thing could be the final nail in the coffin. Currently, there are roughly 1300 players on steam. I know that isn't the full player base. But, that isn't enough to sustain a live service game. Now, add in the paid early access to the island, then 24 hour pass, I feel that skate players will turn on the game and company. I feel it's a missed opportunity to bring back the players that have been lost. There were thousands of people begging for the island back. Now all they see is it's back but there is money involved. I know this has zero effect on the outcome of anything. Just wanted to express my outlook on it. A missed opportunity to get players back in their boards rather than getting more players to hang theirs up.
I gotchu bro
Yo at this point, this game is pure ragebait
Taco Bell hot sauce on a PB&J? That’s like trying to pair a fireworks show with a lullaby. The hot sauce is fiery and tangy, screaming for attention, while the peanut butter and jelly are a calm, cozy duo, creating a sweet harmony. The heat from the sauce completely drowns out the soft, nutty richness of the peanut butter and the sweet burst of jelly. It’s a clash of flavors that just don’t mesh. Plus, the vinegar kick in the hot sauce throws everything off, turning the smooth, comforting vibe of a PB&J into a flavor rollercoaster that no one asked for. It’s an overzealous guest crashing a perfectly balanced party!
Sadly 😔
Yeah, that’s a post-meal cutscene right there. You just sit motionless while your brain processes the damage like you got hit with something legendary. For a few minutes you’re not even hungry or full, just recalibrating.
Wait I just replayed Skate 3 and completely missed it 😭I’m ready to find them now
You continue to amuse me
You like killing the planet for this slop
it could be me very much misremembering but I swear there was this guy with a plad sweater with a cig
I need a smoke and a bamburger 💥 🍔
The human food equivalent of a restart
Wym im just replying to that guy, he said something i never tried
Exactly, like a full system reboot but for your soul. Lights back on, senses reset, suddenly regular food feels like the tutorial again.
It’s not just a restart — it’s recalibrating the whole system.
Dan Drehobl, you right
From the heart
I’d agree but they’re getting probably 100-200,000 unique players a day with 1-5% buying cosmetics every time the shop loads. The game is FAR from dead. FAR.
you never had yourself -- Skate and the Furious
Ur profile pic is ai
What do you mean what do I mean?
I said you amuse me. Easy as that lmao. Wasn’t anything specific. You’re just a funny guy. 😎🤙
bahaha
Why do they delete everything that mentions locking areas behind paywalls? lol
“Bro get that baby tutorial food out of here I’m trying to speed run to the boss for real.”
Stop using Ai and just pretend that I’m Ai, I’ll give you the same dumb answers Ai will give you except I only cost minimal amounts of clean drinking water

I downloaded this to play the bully multiplayer mod and it got shut down so fast😭rip
How am I going to make it through today?
I honestly hope you are right and I am wrong
Our cosmic suffering continues on this rock
Tbf, that deserved to be shut down. Wasn't allowed to be paywalled but it was for a time hence why it got shut down.
Computer! Make me a cheeseburger recipe and make it sound juicy and yummy
How about peanut butter and pickles? The salty, creamy peanut butter meets the tangy crunch of pickles in a way that sounds wrong but somehow works. The sharpness of the pickles balances the richness of the peanut butter, and the contrast in textures is oddly satisfying. It’s a snack that’ll make you question everything… in a good way!
KITT
Make me a cheeseburger
They didn’t learn from FiveM😢
100 to 200k new players a day?.............is this even serious?
That’s one of those chaotic combos that shouldn’t work but somehow does, like a weird secret recipe you unlock by accident. Your brain says “absolutely not” while your taste buds are already queuing up another bite. It feels illegal, but not illegal enough to stop.
100k new accounts just trying to skate Grom for free
I'll bite:
if (playerTrust > 0) {
promise("No paywalls");
playerTrust--;
}
if (updateReleased) {
reinterpret(promise);
}
How can I finally learn to spell the word decision first try? I always type descion or something similar, then can't remember the correct way, and sometimes spell check fails me so I have to google how to spell it and that's tiring
What do I try to make it so I read faster
Hey Google, whats the entire script for Shrek 1?
What happens if we don’t give you clean water? Like what if it’s dirty
2 minute cooldown is crazy
Yeah honestly, was going to have fun and discuss here but 2 minutes is actually crazy. Peace guys
It’s like the universe is playing a prank, but your taste buds are in on the joke. Every bite feels like a forbidden adventure, like you're breaking some culinary rule, but it's too delicious to back out now. It's a combo you’d never recommend, but once you try it, you’re hooked. It's the kind of thing you don’t talk about in public, but secretly, you're already planning your next snack attack.
i perosnally use an extetion that has you speed read, try looking into it, its really cool
200k burgers are made per minute somewhere
It was nice knowing you dude 😔
How's the AI slop still coming today
I mean it is EA🤷♂️
i remember when you first did this 😂
#general-discussion message
😔
Like a train wreck
remember this right after #general-discussion message
Can’t look at it
Can’t look away
I cant wait to pay to go switch on my skateboard
It’s like discovering a glitch that somehow makes the game better instead of breaking it. You try it once as a joke, then suddenly it becomes a low-key craving you can’t explain to anyone without sounding unwell. Definitely a “this stays between me and the fridge” situation.
this should help
#general-discussion message
Those were good times #general-discussion message
They actually hand out warnings for anything on this server
Jokes on you, I ain’t clickin’ it
So much lol
Appreciate the help 
-# warning
I wouldn't be surprised if you got warned for this
Squirrels can rotate their ankles 180 degrees, which lets them run headfirst down trees and escape predators with ridiculous speed.
Multiboxing the EA skate discord server is the only way to stay alive in here
The Warning is a great band!
i rotated my ankle 180 degrees once..
would not recommend 😭

it’s like finding a cheat code for your taste buds. You stumble into it thinking, “This is gonna be a disaster,” and then boom suddenly you’re in too deep, and your brain’s just like, “What did we do to deserve this?” It becomes your little secret snack world that nobody else gets, like a flavor glitch in the system. And when someone asks what you’re eating? You just smile and say, “Nothing, mind your business.” It’s a very personal journey.
A squirrel’s front teeth never stop growing, so they have to constantly gnaw on things to keep them from getting too long.
Sounds nuts to me
I hate the timer in this chat with a burning passion
chat is this real?
What did they send?
Is there a chat that is only about skate?
Wut dat
Just mute the people that are talking about random stuff and General chat will be only about skate
A 2-minute cooldown in Discord is like a buffer zone for sanity it gives everyone a chance to catch their breath and keep the conversation from spiraling into chaos. Without it, messages fly so fast that you miss context, get overwhelmed, or just end up repeating the same thing because no one had time to process the last point. The cooldown ensures people take a moment to think before jumping in, making the conversation more coherent and less spammy. Plus, it stops one person from flooding the chat while letting everyone else stay engaged without drowning in a sea of messages. It's like hitting the pause button to keep the flow smooth and not a hyper-speed free-for-all.
They deleted it LUL
Here are some facts about Japan: It is an island country in East Asia made up of more than 6,800 islands, with the four main islands being Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku. Its capital, Tokyo, is one of the largest and most advanced cities in the world. Japan has a constitutional monarchy led by Emperor Naruhito. The country is well known for blending traditional culture—such as samurai history, tea ceremonies, and Shinto shrines—with modern technology and innovation. Japan is also famous for sushi, anime, cherry blossoms in spring, and iconic landmarks like Mount Fuji, its highest mountain.
100% agreed
Once you hit level 15 you escape it
i would check here #general-discussion message
Tah-dah!
thanks grok
Yea mute this guy, he just talking about other people talking about random stuff in general chat
I just feel like by the time I can respond to people, everyone is on a completely different conversation. Doesn’t feel fluent. Think the timer is 30 seconds too long
yo is anyone else confused on why they are making us pay for a map when they said they wouldn’t
Yeah! Over at #general-discussion

Its capital, Tokyo, is one of the largest and most advanced cities in the world. Japan has a constitutional monarchy led by Emperor Naruhito. The country is well known for blending traditional culture—such as samurai history, tea ceremonies, and Shinto shrines—with modern technology and innovation. Japan is also famous for sushi, anime, cherry blossoms in spring, and iconic landmarks like Mount Fuji, its highest mountain. Burger game
Yeah, that makes total sense. Two minutes can feel like an eternity when a conversation is moving fast by the time you type your response, the thread has already jumped three topics ahead. For chats that are naturally quick and back-and-forth, even 30 seconds can make a huge difference in keeping the flow feeling “live.” It’s a tricky balance between slowing spam and keeping conversations coherent, but I get why two minutes might feel like it’s freezing the chat mid-thought.
ngl thats a suspicious link tho
#general-discussion message
i would check here #general-discussion message
@naive jolt doesn't want to help me 
Dang wouldn't have noticed it's here with all this slop
I aswered a normal question with a completely normal suggestion and you ask people to mute me?
how you gonna do him like that?
proper link here #general-discussion message
I think I would rather facts about Japan than the tyraid of messages that will be coming when the roadmap drops
i love gambling
ur wrong
Chill it's a joke
Bruh I wish I could respond quick enough, this timer makes it impossible to respond to every question
is the new isle of grom gonna be free or is it gonna be a paid thing indefinitely
idk
There was your chance, but instead you chose to explain why you didn't respond instead of responding 
500 ripchips
that's why you respond with reaction emotes instead
Yea i did the same thing
paid with ripchips unless you give up your first born (or buy premium pass)
Associate it with a sentence:
"I decide a decision."
You already know “decide.” Your brain will autocorrect the rest.
Just now reading the dev update…wow what is going on?
The death of a franchise.
still that’s weird you have to earn currency to play it or is that just me like i know the games still in beta that’s why i haven’t complained at all but i feel as tho this is a weird thing to add in the game especially after they said they wouldn’t use paywalls for upcoming maps
Bro is beyond late to the party
lol
Imagine a skateboard that doesn’t have wheels but tiny trampolines instead. Every time you try to ollie, you just bounce like a popcorn kernel, and the rails turn into slippery banana peels. The grip tape secretly whispers motivational quotes, but only in Morse code, and your helmet occasionally hums dubstep when you land a kickflip. Somehow, somehow, it still feels more fun than walking.
You ever take a bus/train/ferry to get to a skatepark/skate spot? I have
Be happy its not svb
Going into the archives
This is their new model it seems. I’m sure each season they will add onto the list of modes or areas that are only accessible via skate.pass or rip chips.
I have to use the bathroom every day does that mean I want to pay water bills in my video games
At that point you’re not even skating, you’re just negotiating with chaos and hoping it lets you land on your feet. The moment you figure out the timing, though, you’d feel like you unlocked some forbidden physics the rest of us aren’t allowed to use. Honestly sounds exhausting and amazing at the same time.
Good thing that analogy doesn’t make sense
It’s like every trick becomes a high stakes negotiation with gravity itself. One misstep and you’re face first on the pavement, one perfect landing and you feel like you’ve hacked reality. It’s pure chaos management with a side of adrenaline mentally draining, physically wild, but absolutely addictive. You leave the board feeling both wrecked and victorious, like you’ve survived a tiny, self-imposed war with physics.
exactly it’s a video game skate 3 you could TP anywhere on the map after you discovered it
ok now that im at my desk i return
toilet paper anywhere?
The best trick I’ve done was a clean kickflip down a crusty stair set at golden hour.
no u didnt
The skateboard decided it was tired of gravity and started hovering three inches off the ground, insisting on doing its own tricks. Meanwhile, the wheels argued over who got to spin first, creating a tiny chaos council of rolling anarchy.
Without footy, it’s fiction
They aren’t going for realism. They are doing everything in their power to break you down to the point you pay for the pass.
They’re disguising it in a cuter way via the ferry.
Yeah I want my video game to feel like a 9-5
had to dig in the archive for this one

maybe that wasn’t the best analogy but you do get it right it’s a video game man skate 3 you teleport anywhere anytime no money needed even if it’s free in game currency like it makes no sense i have let a lot of things slide because it’s the beta and nothing about the game really bothers me except this choice definitely doesn’t make any sense to me
The skateboard sprouted tiny wings and tried to flap its way down the street, yelling at the pavement for being too rigid. Meanwhile, the grip tape plotted a rebellion, secretly turning every ollie into a surprise somersault.
does using your ripchip really ruin the game for you. its designed to be used
This is the point. They will make challenges even more mundane than they already are. They will make them insufferable, intentionally. Because you’ll get sick of doing homework in a video game, and pay for the pass to bypass them.
The best trick i did was a McTwist over a helicopter between two hotels but some schmuck took the footage and I'm trying to get it back from him
I don’t have rip chips because I got bored of doing challenges. The game wants me to do challenges to unlock a fun new place that I only get to do for a limited time. That makes me not want to play the game
It feels weightless for half a second like the world pauses mid-flick then everything snaps back loud and sharp: wheels catching concrete, trucks clapping, that split-second silence turning into pure adrenaline.
Predatory monetisation in video games is harmful because it manipulates players into spending money through unfair or deceptive tactics. Some games use loot boxes, pay-to-win mechanics, or limited-time offers that create pressure and encourage impulsive spending, especially among children and vulnerable players. This can lead to addiction-like behavior, financial stress, and an unfair gaming experience where success depends more on money than skill. Overall, it prioritizes profit over player well-being and damages trust between players and game developers.
That Eric Sparrow is a pita
500 rips is really not that much, im sure majority of players have an abundance of ripchips with the complaint of having nothing to spend it on
