Lords of Football

[Rob92]

Just noticed this game, hadn't seen anyone here mention it so thought I'd give everyone a heads up.

YouTube - Lords of Football Development Diary Episode One

Seems like The Sims mashed up with football, not sure what to make of it but it's released in a few days...

It's gunna be awful isn't it? No previews, no video footage etc.

Yes.

 

[BobbyBox]

The name is rubbish

 

[DagsJT]

I imagine it'll be terrible but also intrigued to see it. £24.99 might be a bit of an ask.

I'm buying because I always buy any and all football games. It looks like shit though.

Oh dear I've bought most of those in the past.

This looks like it could have some cool ideas and features.

Is it pc only?
Minimum specs?

Good Lord, why this????

Looks almost as ridiculous as having players with shark heads, or unlocking boots to give your players more skills.

 

[Honome]

Agree!

Pro Evolution Soccer isn't exactly a fantastic name either. Let's at least try the game before we start disrespecting it?

 

[jaygrim]

I disrespect it.

Does everyone realise this is a management game?

EDIT: Wait a minute... I confused this one with that other new Sega management game. My bad.

So this is more comparable to Football Life I guess..

Out tomorrow on Steam it seems.

 

[Sabatasso]

Seems to me it's more a Big Brother game with a football theme...

Make it compatible with Kinetic and it´s a GOTY contender!

 

[stuartyd]

oh dear god!!

 

[BobbyBox]

Get over Kinect you freak, why are you so against it? Did you catch a Kinect in bed with your wife or something?

 

[jaygrim]

Playing with her titties.

[DagsJT]

Anyone seen any reviews? Or better yet, tried it themselves?

 

[Rob92]

It's managed to make the front page of the Steam Store as a Featured item...

There's no way I'm paying £25 for it though with no demo available to see what it's like beforehand.

New Star Soccer 5 is £10 and that's a pretty good game which seems to be along the same lines (control the career/lifestyle of a player).

I've been waiting for the game adaptation of Mike Bassett: Football Manager for a long time.

 

[Gab_]

I tried the game and it's horrible.

 

[Rob92]

Well, NSS 5 is NOT good at all. It's quite the opposite of good, in fact.

I hadn't played it for a few years and the gameplay seemed nicer this time around with better visuals/GUI. It's a basic, casual game so I can see reasons for some to dislike it but I've found it quite fun for a quick blast every now and again. Defo not a game to spend £20+ on or dedicate a lot of time to though. I suppose the same could be said of "Lords of Football" but I can't form an opinion of the game properly without playing it.
