    Having bought The Elite edition of the game at launch, I feel stupid for not waiting until all the DLC was released. Should’ve known they’d bundle all of it together for the same price I paid at launch. Forget the lack of support or content I feel ripped off for sure.

      @@ianblake3224 I wouldnt really try to argue that. No Mercy has a good story mode, good features like backstage roaming, random interferences, great weapon selection, bomb roster etc. But I personally feel 2k19 should be the standard for a modern wrestling game. Universe Mode, Goated roster, backstage roaming, more interactivity with the ring and its surroundings, and many other features you would want in a wrestling game. 2k22-2k23 tries to build off of 2k19 but they broke too many things so those games dont feel as good as they should.

    This may be a "TLDR" post but here it is. There truly should be a law for this type of stuff. I mean if a person buys the "top tier" edition of anything especially a game; then they should have anything as part of the updates and DLC. So for a "X" amount and "X" period of time; a person should be entitled to everything that is to come with the content/product they purchase. Tier levels work for all parties if they stick by the rules. Base level means just that, "base" game and updates to fix something broken. Mid-level should be what we see now. You buy the game and content/DLC after because you didn't want to spend for everything at said time. Then Last Tier or Best Tier (Season Pass) should be anything that is going to be put out should be an option to be included into the game as the customer see fit. They download what they want and get all updates. No extra charges. I know this is long but it shouldn't be that hard to pull off and everyone would be happy.

    One of the more frustrating things is all the changes they could make that are already in the game that would for sure strengthen the replayability of offline mode. Handicapped match, 3-Way Ladder match, and 4-Way Lights Out match are already in the game in RTE mode. The ability to have a Tornado Tag match I have to imagine is already in the game. The PPV intros from RTE mode can be used for the simplest of introductions for a simple Create-a-PPV mode. Maybe let me put a BCC shirt on Moxley or Danielson...because it's already in the game. So many easy things that would lessen the slap in the face that is everything else. I can't imagine being a Switch player who bought the Elite edition now waiting for any word on the release date for the Acclaimed DLC.

    At this point, I'm done. I've tried giving these new wrestling games a shot. I even started to enjoy AEW more because of the fun factor. So I had hopes that they'd be better with communication. That we'd start to get more content in the item shop. Maybe buy arenas, caw parts, ring attires etc. But nothing, only these slow drops of season passes. I'm exhausted by it. So from now on. When it comes to wrestling games. I'll play them on the PS2 & PS3. Our last hope is Ultra Pro wrestling.

    @SaviorGabriel 9 місяців тому +2

    As someone who never bothered to get this game, none of this surprises me at all. It turned out pretty much the way I expected it to. The thing with AEW Fight Forever was that it didn't really have a foundation to build upon. It IS the foundation. All it was built on was the idea that they wanted it to be like No Mercy. That's sounds great, but you have to understand that games like No Mercy, and HCTP weren't made on their first go. They were built on the foundation of other wrestling games before them. Fight Forever was never going to live up to those standards right away. I've seen this many times with other wrestling titles that were either the very first in their series, or was a game in a series making it's transition to new hardware. The best they could hope for is to get out a decent game, hope it sells well enough to make another one where they can implement the the ideas, and refinements they couldn't before.

    Honestly, you said everything about how I was feeling. I thought when I bought the elite edition that I was going to get every single added on bonus just like how it works with WWE 2K when you buy their season pass or etc. and when I logged on and saw that I had to buy the acclaimed, I was like OK that kind of sucks but whatever then I saw that there was actually a second edition, which had the beat the elite mode and the acclaimed and something else I can’t remember though. I felt kind of cheated at the fact that I just bought the acclaimed and realized that I could have just bought that other addition, and gotten everything that I wanted. But I still was upset at the fact that I had to buy that again because when I bought the elite edition, I thought that everything else was just going to be downloaded. I don’t remember having to buy hook or Danhausen or any other wrestlers that have been added to the game so far other than the acclaimed. For me I do enjoy playing the game, but it still needs more and I’m hoping that they can improve it big time with you know some new modes may be increasing the story length as well. But I guess we’ll have to see.

    Great retrospective and summary of the issue. When the game released and we saw the reviews, it seemed pretty clear given the development history of the game that something isn't right.

      That doesn't make sense. It's a live service game. You're approaching it as if it's an annual. This is not 2K's DLC model. If you want them to improve the game, you actually have to put money into, or you're sending the wrong message.

    • @RobertHighwind
      @RobertHighwind 10 місяців тому +4

      I hear you, but live service games don't usually repackage the base game with whatever current DLC they have currently out, and call it a different version of the game. Then release more DLC and repackage again. The DLC also has been underwhelming for the price they charge per DLC. And it's only been six months.
      Also, as a general note, calling the game a live service doesn't necessarily mean it's going to continue indefinitely. Look what happened to marvel avengers.
      I'm not trying to be overly negative, but you can't deny the multiple delays this game had, and the underwhelming game that was released eventually. You can easily see a scenario where they can call it a live service game in order to buy more development time, and money, to release content.

      @@tonchigaming7238 I play them both, have both games on my channel and honestly they are the same game but the FF has been polished a little, it is a little smoother, but if you play Raw for PC again or watch videos of it, you can tell it is the same game, the animations of the blocks, reversals and movements, running, getting up from ground, the way you are blocked from doing a grapple after they just get up, the animations for everything are exactly the same the whole feel of the game and the controls are the same pretty much but they have worked on it a little, I admit that. If you have the game still, play it again and you will feel like you are playing FF. It feels the same.

    Buying the elite edition was a huge mistake for me. To say I'm let down is an understatement. I feel ripped off and stupid for supporting this game. All I wanted was a good wrestling game like No Mercy, instead I got a bare bones wrestling game with limited options and match types, garbage CAW, a bunch of mini games no one asked for and a big burnt hole in my wallet. Screw you AEW.

    I don’t see the DLC going too low on discounts as the wrestlers get their biggest checks from the first scan into a game. Company needs to try and break even/make profit. A great alternative and nostalgic, but still agree lacking. However. I think the next game will be a lot more improved, polished, and greater.

    I Bought the Elite Edition and I do feel ripped off.
    My overall experience with the game left me very disappointed.
    I Beat it, Unlocked everything and uninstalled it and I haven't looked back since.
    Way over priced for what they offered at launch.
    I felt the Campaign was Lackluster, Bored me to death with the stupid Restaurants. And you had to replay it to fully unlock different things because of different paths.
    I can only do Exhibition Matches so many times. I wasn't a fan of the Mini Games.
    I still feel like they Advertised Broken Matt Hardy as a 2nd playable Character with unique Entrance/Music.. Not just it being an Alt skin for Base Matt Hardy.
    Honestly I feel VERY Ripped off by this Game, I would get my money back if I could but.. Sony.

    I have almost every wrestler from FF in 23 now and ones they have not added yet. The lack of CAW parts and sharing really hurts FF and given how its under the THQ banner why they couldnt use similar setup as Saints Row (2022) style of creation and sharing is beyond me.
