Really? Some of you are compromising with this game?
It is not better than Fifa 22
It is not better than Pes 21
It is not better than nearly all of the footy games released in THE PAST 20 YEARS.
Do some of you have no standards?
Its 2021 and we have next generation consoles with enormous power. I don't want a game thats going to be built up over several years into something vaguely resembling a football sim, that getting Konami off the hook. This is a product that is asking for REAL MONEY off customers. It is not fit for release.
I've just watched a review where the guy was playing Juve v Barca. The same patterns of play over and over, CPU trying to dribble when no one was around him, same tired keeper animations. Even less AI variety than before.
This is not how football matches play out in real life, they look and play nothing like this game. There is no nuance to be found. Wheres the physicality? Wheres the interceptions? We were running into the opposition to steal the ball back in Sensible Soccer in 1990 for goodness sakes.
There is nothing remotely redeeming in this game. Nothing. Nada. I don't understand what some of you are looking at or hoping to expect?
Utterly bizarre.
You have a tendency to become quite personal in your posts, if somebody is disagreeing with you.
Re your point about standards. I savaged the online test game. I have also shredded pes 20 on this forum. I have been bored within a couple of months by every pes since pes 6.
I've played almost no football games at all in two years, and very little in the years before that. If I do, its fifa 16 vanilla, occasionally fifa 19 krebstar sliders. Because I have standards.
Those standards however do not prevent me from gaining some enjoyment from this demo, despite its numerous deficiencies.
Neither does that enjoyment in some way vindicate Konamis approach to game development. I will never give them a penny in my club and wont buy this game for offline play unless its substantially improved. And so there is no compromise. Simply some impressions of a few hours with a free demo.
You're conflating what you want with how people have experienced something, completely independent of your wishes.
I too want a next gen pes worthy of ps5 horsepower, but it's not going to happen. What value is there in continuing to get angry about it? Konami have significantly lower standards than you or I do, in our expectations of what pes should be. But enjoying the demo in some way doesnt lower my standards, because my personal standards have no relationship to what a games company in japan is doing. My enjoyment or otherwise of their free demo will make not a jot of difference to how they develop the game. We here are in a bubble, and nobody but us is looking in.
