The Skateboard Is FINALLY HERE! But Should You Buy It? | Riders Republic

[@Deinmannryan]

Looks like i don't need to pretend like i am skating with the snowboard

[@BrandynWithaY]

For some reason my few braincells cannot comprehend what you’re saying… Me:➡️🤡

[@zine_eddinex24]

i miss when we used to buy game and we enjoy it to the fullest offline and online and there's no Stores or battle passes and micro transactions

[@AMT_AllMyThoughts]

Same today, but they add new stuff and charge for it, wich should be logical to most of ya. U can still play this game without spending anything with the same content. And thanks to the new content, players will keep playing it longer.

[@Void-Realm]

I miss it too. Then with Ubisoft I am so worried for the future of AC with this live service model.

[@Tysorude]

Currently deciding if I want to buy rd2 agn or buy this cause I can’t get skate 3 on ps5😭

[@anickanimations1973]

I would of liked it better of you at least got the free roam skateboard for free but not the career just like the BMX update.

[@BrandynWithaY]

It was indeed disappointing to not see a free roam board implemented for skateboarding😔🚫🛹

[@keymasteryt9441]

Honestly I just want them to add dirt bikes

[@BrandynWithaY]

That’ll be another $20 on my credit card balance🤣💰🎮🏍️

[@outlawbackwoods931]

Wait no dirt bikes????

[@austinmcphaul321]

I bought the skateboard pack day one but all my events are gone They're not showing up at all just live events

[@BennyWest1992]

do you have to buy the skate plus pack that comes with the skateboard, the ritch ultimate and the hoverboard to get access to both free roam and all the event for skateboarding, or is it also a options to just buy the skateboard bundle for 2,500 Rc and u get access to all the skateboard included events, sponsors and free-roam for it that way as well?😕

[@BrandynWithaY]

You can just buy the skateboard bundle for 2,500 RC & have access to everything the skateboard sport has to offer. That’s what I did😄👍🏼

[@Funky_Astroman]

Every body is so damn hung up on a $20 bill 🤦‍♂️. If you love the game and want to play the birthchild of skate 3 and THPS then then pay the damn 20 dollars and shut up. People complaining about $20 are still sleeping on there mamas couch

[@BrandynWithaY]

It’s the $20 here, $20 there & $20 over here that raises the question of “are consumers getting a good value for each purchase”. $20s add up quickly especially if consumers buy dlc in other games beside riders💰💰💰💰

[@DexUGK]

Ain't no danm why I'm paying 20 to ride a skateboard. I love this game. But attest give us a free one like the BMX. Idk why they didn't do thatv

[@BrandynWithaY]

@@DexUGK I also found that unfortunate😔🚫🛹

[@InfoConGafas]

@@DexUGK « Im not paying for something they spend time, effort and money on. I want free stuff » How has our aging community come to this 😂 nobody is forcing you to pay for it. If you don’t want to support them, no need to whine.

[@DexUGK]

@@InfoConGafas well yes I paid for a game. And I'm complaining about wanting free stuff. U can tell they need more money cause they added a free BMX to last update so why not this one. That's all I was saying

[@FUSION_X5]

No outfits should cost money, if it was free then maybe but not when the game cost money

[@danleonardoyo3946]

I’m not giving them any of my money 25-40 dollars just to be able to skate in a game I’ve already spend about 100 bucks for with the season 1 pass etc….. I’m good with the bikes, hopefully they will get a clue that the pricing is terrible. Thx for the new map that’s all I’m using

[@BrandynWithaY]

Imagine spending $100 just in Riders & having other games tempt you with their cosmetics & dlc. It adds up like craaaaazy😭😭😭

[@davetroll5027]

Yeah, no. The bikes are great, and thankfully i bought Tony hawk a while ago.

[@danleonardoyo3946]

@@davetroll5027 we got session, skater xL skate 3 and skate coming out, THPS, etc so many skate games and to me rides is the worst and I put in time to get use to all the controls as well it’s just not worth it

[@Kor3Gaming_Ghost]

hy the skateboard bag came with the 20 Doller bundle/

[@king_koopa0583]

I have play the free events that allow you to use the skateboard and in my opinion it's clunky but I think that makes it fun but it would be cool to see an update where it uses the skate 3 controls

[@klutch4878]

Idk why but on PC i got it for free and all ive ever bought was the year one then checked my xbox which i also have the year one pass on but I can only play the trial on it.

[@BrandynWithaY]

PC hacks🛹👀 #imhating💚

[@bippyfit8952]

The way I look at it is. If ur gonna buy the skateboard for 25$ are u going to be putting 25hours or more into using it. That’s how I justify it

[@BrandynWithaY]

It’s always up to you the consumer to determine value for your money, don’t let others influence all of your purchasing decisions. Buy what you wanna buy & have fun😁👍🏼🎮🛹

[@klutch4878]

I think it's better to look at it by an hourly wage figure. So say you make $12.50 a hour and only play two hours then you got you money's worth

[@BrandynWithaY]

@@klutch4878 I understand your philosophy💡 Value, wages & time will vary from person to person. If an individual sees value for their money & is happy with the purchase then that’s a W🎮

[@kaafflick]

I wanna play this game so bad waited till skateboard I'm gutted had no Idea every sport costs money wtf

[@BrandynWithaY]

Yeah it’s a bummer😔 You can still play skateboard in multiplayer & rotational live events to at least experience it. If you really enjoy the skateboard then maybe you can be happy with paying $20 just for the skateboard pack🛹💚

[@kaafflick]

@TeeJay-ue9pp thanks for the book but I'm not so sure every single sport isn't free, I'm not saying I expect a good dlc not to be free but the game wants me to pay for the skate board, jet pack, jet ski, etc totalling more than 70 for a new game I want so excuse me if I'm surprised so many cool features including skateboarding are locked behind a pay wall. Thanks for sharing ur opinion ...

[@kaafflick]

and other games have been releasing free expansions so its not uncommon so it's kinda stupid for u to say it's common sense to expect to pay....when u don't always have to pay...idiot

[@kaafflick]

@@pukei first I don't have the game, second yes there is jets skis like the snow skies with a rocket booster I'm looking at the bundle rn, 3rd the only thing free is the wings I have to pay over 100 dollars to get all the stuff I'm le Literally looking at it right now.... another dummy here

[@kaafflick]

@@pukei u can simply look it up bro rocket skis ...

[@grime.308]

charging the games original price for one new thing and some challanges is fucking wild though

[@JoeyD82288]

I got the game last year for $40 that was the game plus the year one pass i skipped the hoverboard and ultimate pack

[@Jacobowitness]

I bought the year pass, skipped out on the ultimate, skipped out on the Hoover board but I got the skateboard but I don’t buy RC but I have bought v bucks

[@BrandynWithaY]

Skipping out on the Ultimate & Hoverboard has done good by me👍🏼 Don’t buy what you don’t need😌🙅🏽‍♀️

[@BrandynWithaY]

@@pukei That sounds great! I was very curious to know since I didn’t purchase the ridge Ultimate or Hoverboard packs🎮

[@Warsrecker]

I wanted to buy the Skateboarding dlc, but it is way to expensive. 40 bucks for skateboarding? I got the full game with a full map, bikes,wingsuits,jetpacks,skies, and snowboards for 50 bucks. So how are they justifying 40 dollars for skateboards. I either will never buy it or will wait for a 20 dollar sale. Then i would think about it. In the past companies needed to release the best game possible for what they imagined or gather enough material for an expansion. Which were like a whole game it itself. Now they release a picked clean game for full price and in the following year will add a bunch of stuff that should have been in the base game. The most games today if bought whole are about 100-150 bucks with all dlcs and ingame shop items. For comparisson with that value 10 games are the equivalent of a gaming pc. A price most people claim that they cant afford that even if they wanted to.

[@zenon7774]

$25? almost half the standard $60 price of a game to add a skateboard to the game? F THAT

[@BrandynWithaY]

It can be a tough one to swallow😔

[@BennyWest1992]

yeah, I'm all good brand! but I haven't got the skateboard addon yet because you may have known that Sony just got hacked a few days ago so I'm not going to add my credit card to my account while that is going an, so im going to buy some PSN credits from my local store today while im going to the hair sallon just in case to be on the safer side instead!😂👍

[@BrandynWithaY]

Hacked you say!? I was not aware of that😬 Hopefully you enjoy skateboarding in Riders homie, I think it’s pretty rad🎮🛹🙌🏼

[@zine_eddinex24]

yeah not lot people burning money and buy these shit some in other countries struggling and everything already expensive

[@GetBricked]

I think it’s ridiculous that you but this $70 game, and then Ubisoft expects you to spend another $80 just to play the content in the game 🤨

[@NowayitsBrandyn]

Too expensive😒

[@GetBricked]

@@NowayitsBrandyn honestly! I was so hyped for this game too, I played the beta and pre ordered and got it day 1 and then every new thing cost so much. You can’t even really get any cosmetics without paying money IRL 😞 bums me out cuz it’s such a great game!

[@RicHard-Christomas37]

Imo, of cause gear like skateboarding and Hoverboard is worth buying. This because it’s really fun to use and it will improve your skills using them. However all those various outfits that may be bought using RC coins is not worth it at all... //Be Blessed by Jesus, Christomas37.

[@celdouble0]

Exactly 😁

[@zine_eddinex24]

when i hear there's Store in game & forced online I'm out😂 fuck this shit i want but game and enjoy it full free not make it like shopping mall buy to get full content 🛒 I'm just student I don't have money to buy game 50$+ to buy currencies and skins and dlcs content in games and keep buying making game like pay to enjoy and get full experience everything become like behind pay wall.. it sucks even if i had money I don't like support these greedy companies and these battle passes and micro transactions trends

[@braidenstewart3404]

Same price

[@braidenstewart3404]

Still 39.99

[@BrandynWithaY]

@@braidenstewart3404 $40 for the year 1?😯

[@RicHard-Christomas37]

That price is just “greedy.”

[@RicHard-Christomas37]

By doing this they’re are probably just trying to fool some kids or other ignorant people and by doing that they will just make more money...

[@conahscreations]

I think I can count the amount of micro transactions I've done in my 20+ years of gaming on one hand. I might consider getting the skateboard but not at this price... sick and tired of paying a lot of money for a game only to find some of it locked behind more pay walls. Just move on to a different game folks, stop supporting them financially and vote with your wallets, it's the only thing they'll react to!
