Free online multiplayer game doesn't have an offline mode? How bizarre.
How bizarre, how bizarre.
People expect something different, because the Skate series was different up until now. They should've branded it differently, if they didn't want fans asking for singleplayer.
I don't understand why games don't have two modes: paid, offline single player experience, and F2P online multiplayer experience. The former ensures the game will survive once the servers shut down, and the latter is a gravy train if it works out. Surely that doesn't add much to the development time...
Pretty sure the new Call of Duty games work like that.
