I'm just gonna put this out into the universe because I only thought of it recently and now I really want it to happen: I would very much like for the Yakuza/Like A Dragon dev team, RGG Studio, to make a licensed NJPW game. The control scheme of mainline Yakuza games would adapt well to wrestling, because they already have grapple moves and finishers built in. They have collaborated with NJPW before, featuring several wrestlers like Tanahashi, Okada & Chono in previous games. That being said, I'm not sure this hypothetical game would even leave Japan if it did get made. Can still dream though hehe
@@christophermarriott1681 Fans actually provided Zitty the community manager of aew games with a list of everything they wanted in the game months ago. A spreadsheet was made and provided to the devs who then ignored it.
I don't understand what the devs think they are doing with this game. It is like they looked at all the feedback for what was needed/missing from the game and put that on the "DO NOT DO" list.
The saddest part is that the basics are there and work fine. The bland unnecessary non wrestling elements seem more like they came from direction of AEW rather than the actual devs. I honestly think if they told them to make a fun game about our wrestling company and then went almost completely hands off we’d have gotten something vastly different.
@@tremorchrist I’ve seen video of created wrestlers in here comes the pain from today era. Styles, Roman, Seth, Bryan, you name it ! And they look really good. You can’t even create a decent looking stone cold in FF 😅
It’s bad enough that everybody compares AEW to WCW, now we have an mode you can find in every single WCW game ever made. The only different is that you have to pay an extra $8 for the experience, while the WCW games gives you the mode for free.
It's a shame, but the more I see of Fight Forever, the longer I feel like I can just wait to actually buy it and give it a go. I want to play it some day, but it's really hard to muster enthusiasm when they charge a lot for the game, DLC etc, but don't seem to be putting out quality or quantity to match the cost. It's also not the greatest look for your game when not even the nL team seem to be having much fun with it.
@@starshipfame1 Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm waiting on. A physical copy is still floating around $70 though in most places I frequent, so I'll just have to wait a bit more. Even 2nd hand or pre-owned, I've only been able to find it for maybe $65.
I won't buy it until they add another kick out option and not "Break your gamepad by pressing the button often and still not kick out after the finisher"
I think this game has a great framework for a classic wrestling game, unfortunately stuck with barebones modes/matches that get super repetitive after a while and way too many big names missing from the roster. I hope AEW makes another game and has pretty much everything that has been DLC just in the base game because it absolutely just should have been in the base game.
Imagine charging $8 for what is essentially Mortal Kombat arcade towers. Also finishing the mode only to be greeted with "YOU WIN!" is just the cherry on top of how horrible and half assed this game was lol
@@christophermarriott1681delusional fanboy 😅😅😅 defending a game that’s 30 percent complete is crazy.. what’s even more crazy is you’re okay with paying for the rest of the 70 precent that’s missing.. which will slowly done lmaoo !!!
@@jonwolfenden I think he was trying to meme about it - don't think he was being creepy - but it really did sound like Johnny was starting to get annoyed. If they're not supposed to bring attention to her being there and Macho keeps mentioning it, it's kinda like poking a bear. Even if they didn't get fined or anything for violating an NDA or terms of agreement, it could sour potential future early peeks at games.
Slobberknocker at least gave some challenge, through a timer and not restoring health or anything between opponents, and was only used for unlocking Fred Durst in JBI or a Divas movie in SYM, instead of actual CAW parts(if you can even call them CAW parts, when it's just t-shirts and textures already in the game). Oh, and that wasn't an additional $7 for either game.
If they got her early for promotional reasons, they _should_ be under NDA. They may be allowed to have her on-screen, but not in matches; depends on the terms of the NDA. Even if she were to be selected as an opponent randomly, they'd still have to abide by the agreement. That having been said, almost everything around this game has been a complete disaster, be it marketing, PR, transparency, community management(mega lol there), etc., so it wouldn't be surprising if they actually _weren't_ supposed to show the game with Toni Storm at all, but were given approval to play the game before the DLC was released and just nobody at AEW Games/Nordic even thought, "Hey, what if she gets picked as a random opponent in the mode that gives you ten random opponents?"

The hatred towards AEW is so bizarre. This game is fun as hell yet people act like Toni Storm being shown before she should is some kind of disaster. Meanwhile, the 2K games are among the buggiest big-budget games I've ever played, with the most dull, plodding, tedious gameplay in a wrestling game, and everyone laps it up. Between WWE, Punk and Cornette stans, nobody is arguing in good faith about anything related to AEW. The circlejerk is real.
My brother in Christ, they're charging you $8 for an Arcade Mode in which you have to do the same thing over and over again, no gimmick matches, no handicaps, nothing, just 10 single matches in a row. 2K games are buggy as hell, I'm not arguing that but this isn't better either.
