[@DIzE]

I will never understand how they just dont give the community what we want. Its so weird how easydaystudios is handling the situation

[@mewxtwo]

It seems almost as if there's something big going on behind the scenes that we don't know about. Everything that has happened so far has been straight up weird. There must be some dictator like figure refusing to care about the game. This could've been a masterpiece, something to go down in history for skateboarding. But someone is preventing anything close to that from happening.

[@Saint.Cosmos]

This is why, even though I don't really like the skating as much in Session, I fully support Cre-ature Studios. I've gotten every DLC they put out because they haven't abandoned their community. They're even moving the game into Unreal 5. Easyday has the skeleton of an incredible game and they just...never supported it at all. They never evolved the game beyond the tech demo it started as. Technically it's more fun moment to moment in SkaterXL but I will always go back to Session.

[@tiredghosts]

it's legitimately insane - they have THOUSANDS of people who would love to play this game if the developers just... listened. like, at all. even a little.

[@xistam]

As someone that has dug through the code in SXL, I can tell you they are working on what people want and then some. We already got that video a while back showing what they're working on, they didn't make the date they announced but they're obviously still working on it. They're probably running into more issues than expected. One feature I can say I saw in the code is actually a stats menu, it even had functionality of exporting and importing stats. (don't assume this means it's 100% confirmed though, code could just be experimental stuff that's left over and they just haven't removed it)

It's all in the game code, I can see it when looking through the coding. Modders have enabled some of it too, like Dawg's mod, the wallriding, new primos, and darkslides are all features from the game itself that are disabled. Dawg enabled them and probably made some fixes to it too cause it's likely not finished which is why it's not in the game yet.

The devs are either incapable of completing the work or they simply don't care enough to finish the game.

[@--Boon]

Seriously the only way to actually make an impact on this studio at this point is to actually ignore them. Stop liking their posts, stop commenting on their posts, this is the only thing they have going for them. Do you ever wonder why we get the same version of tampa every year? Its because they go to tampa with false and bloated socials numbers and get another sponsor. If they dont have any social presence, they dont get any more sponsors. If you really want to make your voice heard, be silent on all of their posts. They dont even deserve hate at this point. Because all its doing is giving them more opportunities to make money from this community without actually giving anything in return. BOYCOTT THEIR SOCIALS. HIT THEM WHERE IT HURTS THE MOST.

I used to play Skater XL almost every day, but Session is just a better experience (definitely on console). The only issue i have with Session is barren to no transition skating. Less importantly, but something that i also miss from Session, is skating with randoms in online lobbies that just elevates the whole experience. If session had Multiplayer and transition skating, i believe it could be the best realistic feeling skate simulator game to date.

[@patrickftw8464]

Damn. When SkaterXL first came out I was so stoked. The modding community was so sick, even those early maps where people were making spots by the courthouse because you couldn't load new maps were fun af. At the time, the game had so much potential to be the next big thing with skating/gaming but it's seemed to have really lost its touch since. I haven't played in a couple years now, but it seems like the community hasn't been very happy with them lately, and it's easy to see why.. the game hasn't really improved since I was last playing, and even then it was mostly mods keeping it interesting

[@jacobcarrizales427]

Played sessions and I cannot play XL now. It’s not even close. I wish they’d polish vert and transition since it’s like all they have over sessions

[@mewxtwo]

This has to be one of the most severe cases of bad devs of all time. I wish I could take away 3/4ths of what I paid for this game and give it to Dawg and the rest of the community modders. The devs deserve all the hate they're getting, if not more. Huge bummer for skateboarding.

[@SoapworthyProductions]

I tried playing it again last night on my Switch. Lasted 20 minutes and had to give up. Couldn’t even get a kickflip manny, flip out to nose slide. Did some other tricks but couldn’t get that. Session feels so much better on the Nintendo. The trick inputs make sense and function. I was excited for Skater XL to finally come to Nintendo for the online multiplayer but even that, no one was playing online last night. Created a lobby and skated by myself still..

[@vojtechmarik9465]

It seems to me that Skater XL and Session devs are basically giving up. Why ? Because there's a rough competition coming up. A killer. And its Skate which is supposed to be FREE. That game just crushes these two games easely. Those games used to be good. But way before Skate development was announced. And now when Skate is coming, it's pointless adding new tricks that are going to be in Skate anyway. Skater XL and Session devs basically screwed up. They had a chance, to do it more like a Skate. Adding airflips and that kind of crazy stuff, larger maps. Instead they kept it more to realism, and now Skate will beat that.

[@xBeepz]

Im very happy to say I have not touched this game this year :) Been playing a lot of the Tony Hawk remakes now that theyre on Steam tho.

[@svante1994]

I started playing Session instead. It’s more difficult with rotating before grinds, and going from manuals to fakie manuals (up and then down) isn’t possible, but everything looks and feels better. Definitely more polished, and the developers probably give more of a s..t about the gamers. At this point I’m hoping Skate. will give us something better with better flow, transition and maps.

I genuinely have never been this disappointed and angry at a game developer as I am with Easyday. How could the game be anything other than a scam when they're selling it to this day for 40 bucks and the game hasn't evolved at all. It's still a grossly incomplete tech demo and Easyday has put zero effort into making it better or more complete. Hell, there isn't even any more music than was in the game originally. Meanwhile Creature Studios has made Session into something special. They're even putting in the effort to porting the game into a more stable engine so they continue to grow the game in the future. SkaterXL could have been really special but the devs are legitimate scumbags.

Still the best game out there for skaters by far for me. The community is carry it with so many programmers, why should 3 guys would get better results? Its a really small devteam and its so complicated to translate each update for each platform, i think they have their reasons. Sometimes you stop feeling your "child", skater xl is like a sidehustle for the devs they have to have a mainjob to exist i guess. Then you maybe have a family and so on, i heard that many americans have like 10 days of vacation per year and a hard workethic. Im glad that they delivered us an open source pool to get developed further and the "base" for me feels way more fluid like session, for me session need years to get rid of the main concept of the animations and the codebase to feel as fluid as sxl.
