EA lies more than Trump. News at 11.
I don't buy anything from EA, but I'm curious: Is it difficult to acquire their games via the high seas?
Unrelated, but when did all Magazines start faking youtube thumbnails as the meta image..? I bet times are desperate, but I mean at what point do you understand that it's all the deceit and desperation that drives literally everyone away to the media they imitate?

In this one case EA is to blame, but I do know what you mean. I think it's just that YouTube videos have had a large impact on the form media takes, and that's trickled out towards other forms.
I think of this practice as a tax on herds.
You want to belong in a trendy group, you board the hype train and pay the tax to belong in the herd.
i remember pointing out that this would happen in a couple places and ppl said i was just being negative. like a live service skate game is a dead in the water idea but ppl were so starved for skate content they just didn't listen to sense. look where they are now
What's Andrew Rousso doing in the image? Seems completely unrelated to the content of the article.
I was wondering the same thing...
Does anyone remember how Skate 2 was the best one and they won't release it again? I suspect it is because of the music.
Is the game not ass anymore at least? I'd rather play the OG THPS without any qol additions added by the good remake than this game after I had tried it.
I tried it and it’s shitty compared to skate3. SkaterXL is a better option and has better controls but a lot less content.
But SkaterXL has mods. Soooooo many mods.
I came here to say "the good news is this game sucks anyway." Coming from someone with literally hundreds of hours in the first three games.
Now I just play Session.
That's really disappointing. I have already completed all of the major challenges in this game and it was really great. I'm pretty disappointed to hear this is the direction they've went off to since I last checked in. I would say that if you miss playing the old skate games you can either get an Xbox series X and play them on backwards compatibility mode. Or you can give this a shot because at least it's pretty fun for quite a while without any spend.
works well in emulators too or skater xl https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/skater-xl/9PFM3WM299H6 is the true spiritual successor
Sense of pride and accomplishment
Fucking lol.. This is the Metaverse with extra steps.
EA is for gaming like popcorn is for haute cuisine.
Wait, I made a mistake. There is good popcorn.
