The more I hear about this game the more flaccid I become

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/eas-new-skate-game-is-always-online-reconfirmed-for-2025-launch/1100-6531121/

I was so hyped when they announced it and when they announced it was free-to-play and live service I kept my hopes up but man confirming that it's always online really chucks the biscuit to Narnia as the kids say

Barring titles that initially launched with some other model, are there any free to play + live service games that have an offline mode? I always figured that was part of the model. You can't get live service updates and they can't sell you stuff if you're playing offline.

western AAA devs don't know how not to treat customers like shit, and they will gladly release mid product after mid product proving time and time again that they've earned the right to do so.

It's a live service game so that's what I expected.

At this point, I would have been happier if they just remastered the first 3 games and be done with it.

There are extremely few, and if you do get offline play all you get are the defaults unless you log in first. This is from learning my own lesson with Brawlhalla and trying to purchase the full priced edition that comes with "all" the characters.

I would have complained in the early 2010's, but nowadays a game being always online is not shocking in the least. Especially a Free-to-Play Live Service game.

I feel like I need to put something here, or else I am one of those weird people who think that having no signature is a character trait.

And that apathy is why they get away with it.

tbh with the tony hawk remasters, it's kinda coming back

though i wish microsoft would push a new proper guitar hero, not that three button live shit that they killed the series on, rather than skateboarding

Didn't know it was going to be a f2p live service. Rip. Anyone that stays enjoy your 20 dollar ai skins and 10 dollar weed decal decks i guess. They'll probably make you pay to re-grip your deck when it becomes "unskateable".

an online mode for a game that doesn't exist

I never understood why any company would want to release something nobody can play, if I ever got scammed into buying copies of games that can't be played I'd never buy anything from those developers again...

*looks at his physical copies of Redout and EVE Valkyrie on PS4*

never

again

Yeah, I remember pre-ordering Darkspore, and then on March 1 2016 they shut down the servers, preventing you from even playing singleplayer, but hey that's EA for you.
