I follow the rule of waiting to post permanently free games on Friday, and I always miss it -- likely partially due to Fridays being busy.

I was looking for a good skate game and I thought this might be a good.

....then I read the reviews. There seems to be some real mixed reviews of this game.

The reason I didn't download was because it's choc full of Microtransactions.

    ReSkate takes out the mtx afaik. And makes it work in Linux.

    As for the gameplay, it's slightly too arcade-y for my tastes.

    In reskate you can tweak a lot of settings that you can't in the base game. Things like gravity and what not. I haven't tried it myself yet, but pretty sure you can make it more realistic that way. If not, someone will make a mod for it, if there isn't already. I didn't hate the gameplay, but by god i wished it was more "realistic", that's the thing i liked about the series. In THPS, you had to pull a 5million shitass combo to get the same dopamine that a clead treflip boardslide gave you in skate.

    Thanks for all the info.

    Can I just check, do I need an EA account to play?

    Cos if it does, I'm out.
