Where did the skate series go completely wrong?

The comunity is coming back?
For who? There is maybe MAYBE 5% of the og crowd still around.
Maybe 20% of s2 (that number is surely high)

No offense (yeah right) I don't want any new guys for the most part. Mostly because if they weren't around before now they were too young or they aren't the type of dudes I originally gravitated towards. Mainly curent or ex skaters that enjoyed similar interests not just the game.

As far as the game itself I respect both sides of the argument. I have gotten over a year of satisfaction out of this game which is just as much as the other 2. Some things totally frustrate me, but the trade off for the added features (cap for s3) (afc for s2) are fine with me. But if the way the game went caused other cool folks to quit playing then I'd rather have what they want. A lot of my friends moved out of state, have kids etc etc I was never part of any social network or forum before skate and besides like Facebook I doubt I ever will. When all this is over for good, I'll def miss the comunity more than the game.

I still enjoy skate 3.

+ 2 cents.

Eh. I just don't see why you'd put a hinderances on the growth of the community by saying you don't want any new people. Like I didn't use the forums till this game played every game since OG just hated xbox live and if the locals only mentality was carried I'd have never met all you rad people.

There are cool new guys, that's not what I'm saying. But the very few additions of cool guys are coming waaaay slower than the departure of current cool guys.

To answer the op original question, you would absolutely have to agree with knex or hesh I can't remember who mentioned it but that when Scott Blackwood left "thing changed"

I can't put my finger on it and I have 0 inside knowledge but the entire "feel" of the franchise changed

i dont mind the game, theres things i like and dont like about it, OG was still my favorite minus a few things, but s2 is iffy for me, i tried it today, but wasnt really feeling it, id be stoked(and so would many other people) if EA went with replicant's idea on a "remake game" where they change a few things to make it better for people who actually skate. when i first bought the game i thought it would be the best it was gonna get as far as realism for skaters. but like i said, i still like the game, it just annoys me that its not as good as it should be, because of what hesh said, its meant for gamers, not people who skate.
