I really thought skate 4 was going to be shit. Yes, the graphics are very cartoonish compared to skate 2, the writing/dialogue sounds like they told an ai to be as cringe and reddit as possible, glitches, and there are only a handful of good songs (mainly the get up kids(!), turnstile, mf doom)
But it's fun. it feels like a skateboard mmo seeing all of the other players skating around a huge skatepark city. There are a lot of good features, and I like how parts of the map and challenges can change. Tony Hawk 3+4 was a fucking rip off and Skate 4 is free so it already mogs that shit.
