This is why I never considered buying AEW Fight Forever. the developers refused to listen to exactly what the fan base wants, added recycled rewards and raised prices and it’s certainly not a recipe for success.
The devs did listen to what the fans wanted, but the fan turned "developer" in Kenny Omega, probably overuled that. This game could and should have been the second coming of No Mercy, but it was shit in a box.
They fooled me once with the Elite edition. I've completely given up on this game. I like the gameplay, but everything about this game is just lazy. AEW is hurting for money so bad that they are ripping people of with their video game.
@@curtissimmons2287 💯 like I’ve never seen players voice something they so obviously want just for the devs to be completely ignorant to what they want.
This could've been a simple fun arcade styled mode for the base game. You could even style it like the beat the streak mode from 2k14. The difficulty gradually goes up through the towers. And the final match all the stops are pulled. It's further difficult, but the ai can have different abilities or special moves to make it unique. Hell if you wanna have a further gaming history quirk, have whatever wrestler you play as have different text scroll endings like MK. I feel on it's own though as dlc still doesn't seem to have the full sizzle. Which overall seems to be the problem with this game.
For real even though i don’t like the aew game at least it doesn’t crash the entire day and it’s literally a role of the dice if the wwe game will even start it’s like a game in a game the actual objective is can you even get a game in lol
AEW Fight Forever is the first game I’ve ever reached out to PlayStation to request a refund (was denied). I don’t care how much they improve the next game, I will no longer spend money on an AEW game again.
When they said they'd update the game I didn't think we'd be getting charged extra each time. I bought this game in good faith thinking it was an investment. I feel slighted, and I'm trying to put it nicely
Thanks for the clarification on the storm is coming I'm hoping that the 37 new moves or movesets is actually movesets because that would be awesome if they were able to add 37 new movesets to the game but I also think it's moves I think they had a typo but I could be wrong
You forgot a very important piece of information about the difficulties in this mode. The difficulty doesnt determine how easy or hard it is to win matches, the difficulty of beat the elite mode only, and i mean ONLY, determines how many retries you get. If you check your settings and you have difficulty set to easy, regardless of whether you select elite difficulty on BTE, the actual gameplay will be in easy difficulty. So you can, in fact, win everything in easy difficulty. Thats a joke!
@@AssembleShow Yep, they didn't even bother to make it challenging. So it's EVEN worse than you originally thought lol. Now it's getting ridiculous, and it feels like yukes and thq are scamming us while aew is stuck trying to save it's own TV show.
I agree with the problems of the game(and Also the shows) but i don't think they need to save the TV show. Dynamite is Nr. 1 on cable most of the weeks. Nr. 1 on cable. Some people are acting like this is nothing special.
I bought this on day of release and when I saw they couldn't even do a triple threat match I was like aaahhh crap. I bought a lollipop that says sucker on it.
I love that they thought this would be better than just giving us the match types that are in RTE. But again, it should all be free. We should only be asked to pay for wrestlers. Man, I'm so glad I hooked up the old PS2 and am currently enjoying Smackdown shut your mouth.
I don't want Skins i want Alternate Attires 😭 Jeff Hardy with Face Paint etc.. Can i even select a Hardys tag team Entrance Motion yet? I need a "Universe Mode" to keep me playing this game 😭
I was gonna buy that here comes the boom edition but over $80 is crazy tbh and content don't seem to justify the price. I assume it's only for the most devoted willing to shell out that much for it and they know that
@@dominicarroyo6269 not even. There’s nothing to do. No replay value. No longevity. Arguably the worst CaW mode. Only offers 7 match types to play. The story mode is mediocre. A terrible wrestling game
If you haven't purchased Fight Forever yet, here is my advice: When they finish releasing all the DLC for the game and you see the game and all the DLC on the PlayStation / XBox / Steam store for £20, it is worth buying! But the game itself is not good enough and doesnt have enough content to justify paying more than £15 for and I added the £5 for whatever DLC content they put out, because a lot of it so far is stuff that should have already been in the game from the start. Anything more than £20 for the game and all DLC they put out is too much. You will literally play it for a few hours and then never feel like playing it again. If you played the TNA game, it is very much like that. Not the worst wrestling game ever made but just not up to a standard where we would want to keep playing it.
Anyone reading after reading his comment, DO NOT BUY THE GAME !!! This is an incomplete game. Their live service plan is a scam ! They’re basically charging you DLC’s to help them finish the game. This is just wrong on so many levels. All they care is about stealing from their core fanbase. Don’t waste your money to anyone almost fooled into buying this incomplete game
We got used to 2k putting out bad glitchy games for so many years that in our excitement for THQ making a comeback we forgot THQ hasn't made a good game in over a decade.
At this point the wrestle code gonna be the alternative option for wwe 😂 thank you for the heads up on this game, they are really scamming people out here 🤦🏽♂️
Game should have been released for $20. Build up good faith with the AEW audience and potentially gamers in general. Kenny Omega supposedly being involved had me thinking this game would be something that it's clearly not.
Well, to be fair, this season does come with at least one new game mode. Problem is it’s just the same as randomly selecting opponents in exhibition. So basically the same as what we’ve already been doing after finishing RTE all these months later. So no, it’s nothing to be excited about.
I bought the Elite edition of the game, but there’s no way I’m buying any of this DLC unless it’s like $10 for all the season 2 stuff. $25 is too much for this little content, especially when The Acclaimed should’ve been in the game from the start and the updated arena should be free. It’s just disappointing because there are things that I like about Fight Forever, but it also needs some serious work. I honestly think they’d be better off making a new game due to all the stuff they need to fix and people that need added to the game.
I live in Canada and a grown a** man and I have wrestling shirts from the 90's that I would never wear in public including WCW & ECW old shirts but yeah I don't know how some do it without feeling embarrased. @@AssembleShow
I can’t remember the last time I was genuinely happy I didn’t buy a game… that is until I hear about AEW Fight Forever. I was wildly tempted several times to buy the game when it came out, when it went on sale, when I literally had nothing else I was in the mood to play. The more I hear about this game the happier I am that I didn’t waste my money on this garbage. AEW needs to either do a COMPLETE overhaul if they ever do another game or they need to just never make another game again
They lost me long away with $29 dlc for 3 wrestlers and 1 arena that should of been included for free ill wait for 2k24 and the fact they just dropped the bring the boom edition without being transparent with us gamers was horrible if i knew that i would of got bring the boom over elite which should of included everything. Ill wait for 2k24
my biggest issue with Beat The Elite isn't even the lack of rewards... it's just how it's barely even a mode. the UI is so basic, just ten cards with faces on them and you go from one to the next. and there's no connective tissue. it's just ten normal matches, completely disconnected. you went into One on One > Normal > and then just hit random for your opponent ten times. that's not a new mode. if they added in a function where your health doesn't regenerate and maybe you have a limited number of heals, or power ups, and you have to strategize when and where you use them, that's at least SOMETHING.
And how would we know if someone’s health is low when this garbage ass game didn’t even bother adding that 😅😅 here comes the pain had it 20 years ago. Absolutely no excuse for something like that to be missing on top of all the other missing components
The bigger issue with this game is the execution of this model has been horrible. Conceived as a base game with expansions vs buying a new game every year was good but then you don't charge a AAA price for your base game or any of your expansions. By design, you are selling a bare bones game and 90% of the negative reviews are they overcharged. Problem is they had to. They invested heavily in making a new engine from scratch and needed to recoup some of that investment, messing with their long-term vision for the game. And it tappered off so they haven't fully recovered that initial investment so every DLC now is priced badly imho That's what happens when you put a dude in charge that play videogames vs a dude who actually makes them
@@AssembleShow It's got some great little "in jokes" aswell with some of the other wrestlers/fighters. I'd really hoped AEW would at least put out a better than average game.
@@Methazar the only thing I could say the 1st did better was the soundtrack… and also have dmx lol… not sure why he wasn’t there but I know he was like the most favorite rapper out the bunch in the game. But other than that i couldn’t agree more. A great sequel & the CAW did help us make the rappers we wish were in the game
I wouldn't say Beat The Elite has no tag matches because of a lack of tag teams. I think it's two specific things: 1) Tag matches in the game do _not_ play very well, have not since day one. 2) It would require more than the absolute minimum amount of effort, time, and money, and between AEW, THQ Nordic, and Yuke's, they're either not willing, or not able, to put in more than the minimum. I can't, in good faith, suggest it's anything more than that, and this is coming from someone who got 100% of the achievements within the first week of the game being released, and logged over 70 hours of playtime in the first month, and finally shelving(well, uninstalling) the game just before the 90 hour mark, once the Hookhausen DLC dropped. This is coming from someone who gave the game, the devs, the community, the global CM that oozed toxic positivity while attempting(and failing) to deflect any questions or statements or, even worse, trying to put words in people's mouths, chance after chance after chance. At the end of the day, it felt like all of the above were saying, "Support the game, give us money and we'll deliver," when that is *NOT* my duty. I'm a *customer buying a product,* not a *donor giving to charity,* nor *an investor funding a project.* When I'm buying a product from a business, that business is obligated to create a product the customer finds worth the cost _before the customer gives the business any money._ Everyone at AEW Games, THQ Nordic, and Yuke's is fully aware of this, but there's absolutely zero transparency or honesty about this, and legitimate criticism is completely ignored when it comes with even a slightly sour attitude. tl;dr: THQ Nordic, AEW Games, and Yuke's are full of it, and are either unwilling or incapable of selling this game as a product, rather they're expecting the customer to fund its development as though they were investors, and in any other place and time in history, that would be considered complete idiocy at best, and a complete scam at worst.
Im not buying this bs. They duped me with the elite edition only good for season pass 1. Im not playing their game of ripping me off anymore they already have
There isn't enough meat on that bone for those prices, sorry. There isn't enough. AEW Fight Forever is, at present, and if this is the trajectory, dead. I might feel different if there was more base game, and these were more value added. But this feels more like we are being asked to pay for them to flesh out and finish the game we all, regrettably at this point, already bought. I don't know if the devs are greedy, creatively bankrupt, or untalented, but there is no way this little is worth what is being asked.
Man it’s crazy to think that Yukes is fumbling this game after all of their experience making bangers smfh new age gaming is dying when it comes to quality and longevity.
The big problem is the game itself being so unfinished and lacking content and then trickling out little things and members of the roster for an extra cost, that either should already be in the game (Acclaimed) and those that nobody ever wanted in a game (Danhausen). If you play WWF RAW for PC that came out in 2002 it is the same game as Fight Forever.
Exactly that game had nothing. Even WM 18 on GameCube lacked content. Just bring it and shut your mouth already set the standard of everything that we expect in a wrestling game at the time.
@@MR.__G I can go without full entrances. They’re the least of this game’s issues. But it was dumb for them to give us control over pyro and camera angles with the entrances being so short.
@@luccirobbins6675 just because you don’t care doesn’t mean it should be short entrances. they are apart of the presentation, it should be there along all the fundamental content of a wrestling game.
So the mode is just matches against random opponents? Hell, the few people still playing the game were already doing that because that’s all that’s left to do after RTE. Only difference is a member of the Elite being the 10th opponent. And no, cosmetics are NOT worth it because you can barely do anything with that creation suite. We just want a sandbox mode of some type. Or GM mode. I’ll even settle for Create A PPV.
I’m certain that your points are all valid. In fact, I have the game and have many of the same thoughts and viewpoints. But I also discount what you’re saying, to a degree. Simply because you chose to wear a CM Punk shirt for the video.😅
AEW is basically just like AEW itsself. Good gameplay but terrible when it comes to Replay Capabilities and some modes. Same with AEW good wrestling Terrible booking, character, storyline.
wait----are you one of the 13 people still playing this? wow....salute. they got my money day one but i gave up on it about a week in after playing through the joke that was story mode.
Yeah for me I love fight forever and I do think that the game has a really solid foundation but this mode does not look like something I'm interested in and I wanted a single player mode that like had replay value because I think that's what fight forever needs is more modes with replay value but this just isn't it I really hope for season 3 they can salvage this game and have some replay value or a reason just to come back.
How can you continue to have hope when the game has been 70-80 percent incomplete for almost 6 months now ? How much worst does FF need to get for you to actually open your eyes ?
I got this game on sale and still feel like I overpaid smh paying more for a little bit of extra content with no patches to improve gameplay is insane also very disappointing that have to play online to do stadium stampede
I don't think i can justify buying a mediocre arcade ladder mode. Wcw vs nwo had a great version of this, you would generally unlock a wrestler after beating it. If they wanted to go this route, why not make it based upon the characters to make sense and unlock all this cool stuff on the way
I seriously believe them not doing a Universe mode ala 2k games, is basically a big mistake. With all the things missing in this game, that one thing alone would've made fans want to play it. But with no actual Universe mode, there's not enough reason for a player to come back to this game. Do I come back and play it again? Sure. Do I think it needs to be fixed? Definitely. Unfortunately they failed in all fronts with this game. It doesn't even feel like the No Mercy game they were trying to emulate. It feels like something beneath it. Also, the way they make people pay for stuff that should've been in the game since day one is actually scammy as hell.
I feel like the developers are at the stage of the relationship where they just put out the bare minimum of obligations because they know the breakup is coming.
So glad I waited to see how this game was going to be. Very sad it couldn't become direct competition to WWE games
Especially when it's being developed by Yukes and they were the ones to make the WWE games until 2K20 (2K19 being their last one). You'd think they would have knocked it out of the park.

Problem is they had to. They invested heavily in making a new engine from scratch and needed to recoup some of that investment, messing with their long-term vision for the game. And it tappered off so they haven't fully recovered that initial investment so every DLC now is priced badly imho
That's what happens when you put a dude in charge that play videogames vs a dude who actually makes them
You're assuming they won't update mode in future or give you more items in future
will wait for this game to be 20 bucks or under before i buy!
Where’s stadium?
Better value for money just getting Def Jam Vendetta lol.
I'm pleased I got 2k23 and waited on this 1.... That's a 10buck purchase at best
Def jam V & fight for NY are all time classics ! Aki didn’t flop once with wrestling games
Def Jam is definitely a better choice!
@@AssembleShow It's got some great little "in jokes" aswell with some of the other wrestlers/fighters.
I'd really hoped AEW would at least put out a better than average game.
@@MR.__G NY was such a good follow up. It improved on the core of the original and expanded it.
The PSP port was 1 of the most fun on the platform.
@@Methazar the only thing I could say the 1st did better was the soundtrack… and also have dmx lol… not sure why he wasn’t there but I know he was like the most favorite rapper out the bunch in the game. But other than that i couldn’t agree more. A great sequel & the CAW did help us make the rappers we wish were in the game
*Forest Gump voice * I don’t recommend
you get this 😂
I hope they put prince nana doing the dance when Swerve comes out in the game.
I wouldn't say Beat The Elite has no tag matches because of a lack of tag teams. I think it's two specific things:
1) Tag matches in the game do _not_ play very well, have not since day one.
2) It would require more than the absolute minimum amount of effort, time, and money, and between AEW, THQ Nordic, and Yuke's, they're either not willing, or not able, to put in more than the minimum.
I can't, in good faith, suggest it's anything more than that, and this is coming from someone who got 100% of the achievements within the first week of the game being released, and logged over 70 hours of playtime in the first month, and finally shelving(well, uninstalling) the game just before the 90 hour mark, once the Hookhausen DLC dropped. This is coming from someone who gave the game, the devs, the community, the global CM that oozed toxic positivity while attempting(and failing) to deflect any questions or statements or, even worse, trying to put words in people's mouths, chance after chance after chance.
At the end of the day, it felt like all of the above were saying, "Support the game, give us money and we'll deliver," when that is *NOT* my duty. I'm a *customer buying a product,* not a *donor giving to charity,* nor *an investor funding a project.* When I'm buying a product from a business, that business is obligated to create a product the customer finds worth the cost _before the customer gives the business any money._ Everyone at AEW Games, THQ Nordic, and Yuke's is fully aware of this, but there's absolutely zero transparency or honesty about this, and legitimate criticism is completely ignored when it comes with even a slightly sour attitude.
tl;dr: THQ Nordic, AEW Games, and Yuke's are full of it, and are either unwilling or incapable of selling this game as a product, rather they're expecting the customer to fund its development as though they were investors, and in any other place and time in history, that would be considered complete idiocy at best, and a complete scam at worst.
Im not buying this bs. They duped me with the elite edition only good for season pass 1. Im not playing their game of ripping me off anymore they already have
I haven’t played this game at all. Does it even have in-match commentary? Or just during intros?
@guyincognito6582😅😅😅😅 you literally blink and the entrance is over.
I don’t even have to game downloaded anymore 😂
There isn't enough meat on that bone for those prices, sorry. There isn't enough. AEW Fight Forever is, at present, and if this is the trajectory, dead. I might feel different if there was more base game, and these were more value added. But this feels more like we are being asked to pay for them to flesh out and finish the game we all, regrettably at this point, already bought. I don't know if the devs are greedy, creatively bankrupt, or untalented, but there is no way this little is worth what is being asked.
This game fooled us all....
For me the boat has sailed on this game. At this point I'm waiting on wwe 2k24 which will blow this game out of the water.
Why not make a Continental Classic mode?
I really don’t understand how they havent announced a Continental Classic game mode yet!!
Kind of a ripoff? No it's outright scamming imo
What they should've done was do beat the elite the old school way whereas the prize you win is AEW stars that aren't in the game 🤷🏻♂️
It so worth it for €3 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
be a fun afternoon!
For one Weekend lol Yes! For 20 you can buy it, that's a good Deal.
Man it’s crazy to think that Yukes is fumbling this game after all of their experience making bangers smfh new age gaming is dying when it comes to quality and longevity.
So glad i gave this game a miss.
Still waiting for it to be 20 dollars!!😂
Wait till it’s free I only put time in the stampede mode not a lot either lmao
The only way I’m playing this game is if it’s free
I’m kinda surprised they haven’t put this on game pass it might have a shot of getting some people to check it out if it were free
@@AssembleShow ALOT more people would’ve played the game if it were free. High On Life was one of the biggest games of 2022 because it was free
It sucks that we can’t get swerves full entrance, it’s so good lol Who’s house!?!?!?!
The big problem is the game itself being so unfinished and lacking content and then trickling out little things and members of the roster for an extra cost, that either should already be in the game (Acclaimed) and those that nobody ever wanted in a game (Danhausen).
If you play WWF RAW for PC that came out in 2002 it is the same game as Fight Forever.
Exactly that game had nothing. Even WM 18 on GameCube lacked content. Just bring it and shut your mouth already set the standard of everything that we expect in a wrestling game at the time.
I kinda like Danhausen and am glad he’s in the game. Hopefully they give us a Universe mode or something because I wanna give him a push.
@@luccirobbins6675 universe ?? The game doesn’t even full entrances lol lower your hopes 100 notches down
@@MR.__G I can go without full entrances. They’re the least of this game’s issues. But it was dumb for them to give us control over pyro and camera angles with the entrances being so short.
@@luccirobbins6675 just because you don’t care doesn’t mean it should be short entrances. they are apart of the presentation, it should be there along all the fundamental content of a wrestling game.
Holy fuck we need a GOOD wrestling game that will give GOOD content, cause Yukes and 2K ain’t doing it
So the mode is just matches against random opponents? Hell, the few people still playing the game were already doing that because that’s all that’s left to do after RTE. Only difference is a member of the Elite being the 10th opponent. And no, cosmetics are NOT worth it because you can barely do anything with that creation suite. We just want a sandbox mode of some type. Or GM mode. I’ll even settle for Create A PPV.
Need the whole roster
I’m certain that your points are all valid. In fact, I have the game and have many of the same thoughts and viewpoints.
But I also discount what you’re saying, to a degree. Simply because you chose to wear a CM Punk shirt for the video.😅
Fair enough!
AEW is basically just like AEW itsself.
Good gameplay but terrible when it comes to Replay Capabilities and some modes.
Same with AEW
good wrestling Terrible booking, character, storyline.
Maybe they should have added a GM Mode to this game instead of an app based on it
wait----are you one of the 13 people still playing this? wow....salute. they got my money day one but i gave up on it about a week in after playing through the joke that was story mode.
Smh, AEW trippin bruh
the fact it cost 7 dollars
that's 7 dollars too high
Yeah for me I love fight forever and I do think that the game has a really solid foundation but this mode does not look like something I'm interested in and I wanted a single player mode that like had replay value because I think that's what fight forever needs is more modes with replay value but this just isn't it I really hope for season 3 they can salvage this game and have some replay value or a reason just to come back.
How can you continue to have hope when the game has been 70-80 percent incomplete for almost 6 months now ? How much worst does FF need to get for you to actually open your eyes ?
I got this game on sale and still feel like I overpaid smh paying more for a little bit of extra content with no patches to improve gameplay is insane also very disappointing that have to play online to do stadium stampede
I don't think i can justify buying a mediocre arcade ladder mode.
Wcw vs nwo had a great version of this, you would generally unlock a wrestler after beating it.
If they wanted to go this route, why not make it based upon the characters to make sense and unlock all this cool stuff on the way
It’s not worth it. I feel like I wasted my money preordering the elite edition
I still haven't played or bought this game lol
Season 3? Dude they've pissed us off this badly already who wants a season 3?
I seriously believe them not doing a Universe mode ala 2k games, is basically a big mistake. With all the things missing in this game, that one thing alone would've made fans want to play it. But with no actual Universe mode, there's not enough reason for a player to come back to this game. Do I come back and play it again? Sure. Do I think it needs to be fixed? Definitely. Unfortunately they failed in all fronts with this game. It doesn't even feel like the No Mercy game they were trying to emulate. It feels like something beneath it.
Also, the way they make people pay for stuff that should've been in the game since day one is actually scammy as hell.
This game ironically reflects the company.
It's behind a Paywall that's it.
