True Skate

True skate is a super fun game there’s no doubt about that. I love how it’s physics based and the tricks aren’t just the same animations. However, this is also THE buggiest game/app I have ever owned, I mean that literally. It’s bad, really bad, half of the time the app just crashes for no reason. Then gets stuck in this loop trying to open it but it crashes so you have to constantly delete the app and reinstall it just get out of the crashing loop just to be able to play it. But then all your settings reset and all of your in game mods erase it’s beyond frustrating. More than half of the features just stop working like the replay editor the camera stops blending smoothly and does whatever it wants. The shop is beyond buggy even though they just revamped the whole thing. It’s frustrating because this game has SO much potential to be incredible. The last thing, the lack of content. It’s not right to have to rely on members in the modding community to keep sandbox alive (in game paid subscription to mods) because without them it would be dead. It’s mainly one person who adds new stuff that’s it. True skate every now and then adds new SLS maps but that’s it as well, no street maps, no creative made up parks, just these smaller SLS parks most players don’t like to skate they want street maps. I really hope they fix a lot of stuff because this game could be 5 stars EASILY! But for now, it doesn’t feel like a finished product.

So I got the game and played it for a while and it feels great. Advices: Show Skateboarder Legs💯 Physics Version💯 Realistic Mode🙅‍♂️ The “Show Skateboarder Legs” makes you feel more realistic and fun to play. I like the way it is designed that part of the body is half opaque and the shoes are 100% visible. And there are even some animations for the character, that’s really great. I didn’t notice there is a “Realistic Mode” there until I read some worst ratings of this game, and then I tried it, and it sucked. The default mode is actually the “Fly Mode” or “On the Moon Mode”, which means the physics in it are too fake or the gravity is too little. The “Realistic Mode” is like “Mini Fly Mode”, although it greatly reduces the jump height or flip height, but it feels really rigid and sticky. No matter how light or hard I tried doing the tricks, the jump height is always that same little. Finally, the “Physics Version” should be called the “Real Realistic Mode”, because with the physics version on, you can really control and steer your board or player, the jump height is good and the feeling of control is realistic, it varies when you’re doing the tricks with different strength. So my advice would be, change the physics version to default and get rid of realistic mode. You can still keep current default mode and change it to fly mode or something to add some additional fun(For instance, people can do some impossible jumps with it if they want).

Ive been playing the game for about 7 years (since December of 2015), and I can say that this game is probably the most enjoyable skateboarding game i’ve ever played. Ive played Skate 3, Skater XL, and several other games and this always persist. This game has so much diversity (if you have the money), from vert skating to realistic skating. Its all around an amazing time killer too, and it also got me to start skateboarding in real life. However, it’s now time to get into the inconveniences. 1 Inconvenience would be the prices of maps. They aren’t crazy (like 1 dollar a map), but it adds up. My recommendation’s for your first map would be 2017 Tampa, SLS Hangar, or Mondo Ramp. Another inconvenience would be the Subscription required for DIY parks, which gives u Unlimited access to all DIY parks for 5 dollars a month. Now I love this game and everything about it, but at this point it seems like they’re charging too much. Although, the starter map is very good unlike another skateboarding game on mobile. The community is absolutely amazing, including the devs who are super layed back. They allow just enough glitches that are fun, but don’t break the game. Overall, this game is wonderful if you’re willing to dish out a few dollars, but really you don’t have another option so they can ask as much as they want.
