most definitly : no !!!
pes and fifa PC version are two examples where PIRACY is a good thing.
companies should not get squat from games like this ( i dont call it games , i call it nerve wrecks ).
its fun at first, and you think that after getting used to it, it gets better. no , it gets worse :
* really tired of seeing my players stop for one second after a tackle or some other event , while cpu players just keep on playing
* really tired of stupid through balls too short or too long. i dont mind making bad through balls , but at least it should be my fault ( power bar )
* really really tired of pointing to my teammate next to me, and it passes to another player in a totally diferent direction
* my god , is this fight soccer ? totally annoyed of the referes. this problem is just to freakly stupid , it in itself should make pes 2010 not sell a single copy.
* i dont mind that at normal run, its dificult to control the ball, but would it be too hard to create a close control mode like fifa , where the player would have better control ( but not run ) ? the R2 button control its just stupid like sh*t
* frustrated as hell , in my defenders running away from the ball in headers or putting themselves behind the opposite team player when heading. are they stupid ? no, only the konami programmers are. if i want to win a header , i have to place the player manually, not so easy when switching players is so stupid. ( i just played a game where 2 defenders ran away from the ball , to allow the forward to head freely and score... my god )
just from the top of my head. so pes to me is like drugs ... i play it , but because i have been playing pes for so long that i have trouble stopping. but after a while i just get really annoyed with it, and for keeping the addiction.
disclaimer , i do like the direction of pes 2010, to a more realistic feel. but sh*t , seems that every little detail had good intentions , but was really badly implemented.
their goals were good , but failed completly in putting it in the game.
my biggest hope for this year : fifa next gen on pc.
i lost faith that power bar pass and throught balls , or maybe , just maybe , revamp the stupid free kick passing. maybe next year they will remove the tactic cards, and reimplement attack and defence awareness tactics. or maybe some more 3 years of arcade gaming then back to pes5 engine. stupid idiots
the way i feel , congrats to people who pirate pes ( only pes , not piracy in general ) and shame for people who support this.
