[@er_playz5429]

I was really excited when the game was first mentioned. But when they showcased it for the first time I’d became skeptical. I saw the graphics and obviously it isn’t the worst but for a new gen game and having a monitor that can run 4k I felt like they should have done more with it. What ending killing my deal to buy the game was when they mentioned that not everyone in the main roster would be available to play in the game and that there weren’t going to be full wrestler entrances. Ik people may be upset in what I said but I’m sorry I’m not dropping $70+ to buy a game that doesn’t look finished, doesn’t have the full AEW roster, & doesn’t have things like full entrances, GM Mode, etc.

All they had to do was use the No Mercy template and overload it with tonnes of options and match types. This game will be overlooked as one of the biggest fumbles in gaming history. They had the clear chance for an absolute gold mine.

If I remember correctly, a little over halfway through development AEW was pissed at Jukes for no delivering what they promised.

They failed by not using the game to tell the history of the territories and to bring up to speed the long term storytelling of rivalries that each character brings. I'm a huge fan of Kenny, but if Kenny was the Lead Developer of this game, than its on Kenny Omega for this disaster. He said he wanted to make it like a super smash bros, Def Jam, NO MERCY and to make a wrestling game for gamers. and that he would get people from the original no mercy wwf to work on it. That was the immediate red flag i had, of course i trusted kenny would be able to find a balance, but NO MERCY . It's been 20 years thats not the flagship game thats needed for a start up wrestling company unless your CZW. I also lost hope when they wanted DLC everything. AEW 2023 video game should have been a joint venture between New Japan, AAA & AEW. AEW vs New Japan vs ROH vs AAA all funding a game together. But Tony is too greedy. Tony, Yukes, Kenny failed this game and the gamers.

[@DT-ip4db]

One of the senior designers from Yukes left the project mid way, this was the guy who revamped 2K creation suite and universal mode, apparently there was a lot of clashing behind the scenes with AEW people like Omega who's never produced a game in his life but all of a sudden is an expert in game development. Funny how quiet Omega has been on the game hasn't promoted it at all

[@dhenderson1810]

If they think I'm going to pay $25 for that new season 2 DLC, they're out of their freaking mind. It wouldn't be a problem if season pass holders got this new stuff for free. But that isn't the case. They expect those who have the game to give up more money for new stuff. Not worth it. I think I'll pass on this one.

[@DoobieKeebler]

I used to do focus groups in the mid 2000s for Sony HQ, Sega HQ, & then maybe some random Xbox games cuz I wasn't near Washington. I remember the time during a focus group, my group was asked about "maybe" paying "$1 or $2" in order to get, essentially what would now be a $50 battlepass or whatever. I saw what the companies were planning from a mile away & agressively said it would be an insult to make me pay for a game I already purchased. While every single other person of the 10 or 12 person focus group was, like, "i can haz halo mapz?!" I wish I could go back in time & shake the shit out of the people in that room, that I swear to God were rating a "10/10 would pay for extra content".

I loved the game when it came out. I was bought it for series S and i bought it for the Switch. However, the novelty wore off very quickly. I'm all for thr season pass concept, as long as its value for money. If FF's season passes had as much content as 2k's then it would be fine. 2k's goes beyond just the wrestlers. Its all the extra moves and creation parts that add further value to the game. I'd much rather an annual release if this FF model is the alternative.

[@kovulion7777]

You realized that you can get the wrestlers in WWE in just CAWS instead AEWFF feels like it needs a sequel like the Nickelodeon Brawl 2, they already got 80% done with the first game, second game is where they bring more quality if they cant support updates and DLC packs

I think the first and foremost mistake of Yuke's and AEW Games was to play on the nostalgia of WWF No Mercy to begin with. This style of wrestling games just no longer fit people. Personally for me AEW Fight Forever is not instintual at all and I have played EVERY WWF/WWE game INCLUDING No Mercy and all SvR title. The style of WWE 2K is the right direction right now. And looking at how many problems Fight Forever had at launch makes me think that MAYBE Visual Concepts was not the problem when it comes to 2K20 (which strangely I still enjoyed)

[@JohnHanlin]

Yuke’s was definitely the problem. Not Visual Concepts

The problem is that Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky were both made by companies that actually give a damn about games and about their company reputations. CD Projekt Red were embarrassed by the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 after their previous spotless record with the Witcher series, and Hello Games saw No Man's Sky's status as a matter of survival, this being their first major release. Fight Forever, like AEW itself, is a vanity project for Tony, and a chance to milk the money mark by the talent. It's clear that Yuke's is more interested in other endeavors than wrestling games (can't really blame them after making WWE games for so damn long), and the lack of love shows in AEW Fight Forever.

[@jugghead82]

Man you hit it on point I brought this game full with season pass an with limited features CAW creations it was like WOW where's this game promise in my opinion. Missing a Cage Match something that has been in a wrestling game since WWF Steel Cage Challenge really MAKES NO SENSE. But with this now the prices on DLC it really makes no sense. I paid 80 plus for this game when it should of been half the price. AEW Fight Forever PROs are the gameplay is pretty fun an the fact it is the first major wrestling company other than WWE to have a game in years. Overall THQ an Yuke's are wrestling game Legends understandable it was a game built from scratch, but this is so unacceptable.

[@JimGEDDIS3000]

I believe I kept up with all the news & even before the game got released I was thinking about buying it up until I read nothing but backlash after backlash. I understand that is similar to movie reviews and you can't judge until you see a movie or in this case play the game yourself. But after months of backlash and all. I can't buy this game unless it was on sale for maybe $10 bucks, even then I might not bother with it. I don't know what THQ & Kenny Omega was thinking, but somewhere along the line something got missed big time. I understand they wanted a No Mercy game play feel to the game and tons of other things but that's nearly impossible on today's gaming consoles. More so you are talking about a game that came out more than 10 years ago. If THQ wanted to profit off their losses then they need to mark down their DLC & game big time in order to get more people interested in thinking about buying but I highly doubt that will happen. At the end of the day, they need to call it a lost and move on. Maybe AEW needs to get a different gaming company to make their wrestling games, I am not sure if that's going to happen or not.

[@MR.__G]

Only 7 matches at launch was enough for me to save my money. What the hell can you anyone possibly do in a wrestling game that only offers 7 match types ?

Its AEWs first console video game. Back in the day none of WWF's video games were major. They were ok, had their flaws, and people got by playing em among other things. Of course now times have changed. people have so much expectations or they will just shit all over it till the end of time. Its a shame if you ask me. I think back about games that i played earlier in my lifetime like WWF Warzone, and Attitude and see the progress. AEW needs that same patience. They atleast have a great idea that they can work with having that Aki system that many still call the best ever. They just need more time to put a modern twist on it. Work out the kinks, and figure out how to improve on other things like Create a Wrestler Mode. Find ways to make their game stand out as their own and theyll be just fine.

This has been a really bad year for me as far as video games go. I’m nowhere near the “hardcore” gamer I was back in my teens and 20’s (for context I’m now in my 40’s). The two games that I normally get without question are WWE games and Assassin’s Creed games. This year though I was feeling kinda burnt out on WWE games and since this AEW game was coming out I opted out of getting this year’s 2K and went with Fight Forever. Big mistake on my part obviously. Then, come October and Assassin’s Creed: Mirage comes out… it really should have just been a DLC for Valhalla. If this sort of thing keeps happening, I really don’t know how much longer I’ll be able to call myself a gamer. Even if it’s just casually.

I'll wait for a Steam sale on the DLC. $25 for 2 characters and an arena and a play mode I'm not interested in is a bit high

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

AEW: Fight Forever sucked because no matter how many update patches the game would go through, the game would always be broken and unblanced, you could not max out your created wrestler's stats, the create-a-moveset option had it's limits, the online server would make your in-game wrestlers and created wrestlers float and teleport, the submission hold and pinfall systems sucked and the create-a-wrestler option didn't have enough creative content. I love AEW as a pro wrestling company, but their Fight Forever video game was nothing but trash. The game was rushed and it was never play-tested.

[@brandonleetcg3425]

I got in on sale a few days ago and I've been having a great time, I think the reason the game is unliked so much is people missed the point. This game is supposed to be an arcadey Street fighter meets here comes the pain, pick up and go style game. It's not a simulator like 2k and wwe games in general it's one of few genuine wrestling VIDEO GAMES. It's fast paced goofy and fun.

Got the game for $35 with 2 other games during Gsmestop's buy 2 get 1 sale and still was a letdown. I can't imagine paying for DLC.

[@christophercardarelli1328]

I think the problem is that they announced the game to early. To having delay after delay and then releasing a game in year where gaming are very stacked. I mean when you released your game in the year when Spiderman 2, Legend of Zelda: Tears of the kingdom, street fight 6, Re4 Remake, Dead space Remake, and that just few that gamers are going buy. Then the whole only fans that are going buy it are hardcore wrestling fans. The problem too is that you try compare your game against your rival and they more content then you. Then you try to over charge your dlc. The people who brought and try defend are now ignoring it and leaving it. I mean I had one friend who was super hype for this game. But if I meantioned how the game is and give me a meh answer. That kinda tells me all I need to know. When super hype fan stop caring for your game then game is at best mid.

[@unclegoose3864]

I think the game could live on via modding but that will take fans who enjoy it to keep it alive.

I just wish the game had some kind of universe or gm mode. something that makes me want to come back to the game

[@TheSkorpioprince]

BINGO! Thats why I stop playing after a month. Every game needs a universe or a gm mode of some kind. EVERY GAME.

[@antlove2k3]

When it released I told myself that it will be a Black Friday buy. Now I don’t even want to do that. It’s a shame

[@steforster2967]

This company set out to topple WWE. Yet they’ve become the new TNA. This reminds me of the TNA game that released back on PS3. I played it, and it was awful. Apart from stadium stampede, this games a car crash.

[@Mikeh2077]

It’s a good game for what it was which for me was just a nostalgia trip because it resembles the game play of No Mercy.

[@truthseeker1867]

Lol no, in no way, shape or form does it resemble no mercy by any means.

We shouldve seen this coming when aew games first started. They already released 2 massive flops before this game, the abysmal elite gm and the awful casino game, and fans were unhappy then. This will be the final nail in the coffin for aew games and by next year aew games will no longer be a thing.

[@lsKnight8]

Did they remove Cm Punk from the game??

[@EliteEasyE]

Dropping the NXT 2.0 arena was for free was great. It was also by a game series that had been going for nearly 20 years that had been doing DLC drops for ten years and a series that constantly has us buy and rebuy the likes of Cactus Jack and the Nitro arena which is DLC one year, free the next, than missing for several iterations of the game then again as paid DLC. They literally had Cactus Jack on disc last year from a prior game and at the same.time a new model was for sale. Let's not act like 1) 2K is perfect and 2) them releasing a free arena once in 20 years is somehow now the industry standard. 3:51

[@moralesharold87]

They constantly drop new arenas for free, 2K has never charged for an updated arena at least not that i know of. I remember one year they randomly added the Great Balls of fire arena for free like a month after that event happened. AEW used THQ who made a lot of those games in the past 20 years so a game being this incomplete is inexcusable.

People have been saying it’s dead/finished from the first month it came out yet it’s still going. Seems it’s a good subject for views. 😂 Yeah they continue to frustrate people but until they give any indication they’re stopping supporting it I’m not going to say it’s dead. There’s seemingly more coming than has been announced. I don’t agree with all their decisions but the gameplay’s good so they can still turn it around. Will they? Who knows but it’s still got potential and hopefully they’re working on what fans are looking for. The biggest issues are their communication and them wasting time on stuff nobody asked for.

[@malcolmsheen777]

@@hsthatzo8063 It didn’t sell a lot of copies on PC/Steam (less than 1% of the sales) and not everyone plays online so no idea why you’re focusing on this. My point is how many videos have we got now with clickbait titles claiming it’s dead/finished or asking the question? It depends what they add. If they add match types and stuff then they can absolutely turn it around. If they don’t it’ll continue to piss people off and quit playing.

[@BluePalmetto]

I bought this game for about $40 from GameStop today and have yet to unwrap it because I wanted to make sure I didn't want to return it. I searched and found many thumbnails and titles hating on the game only to find out it is about the DLC model. I'm not complaining about that, make your money. I'm just questioning is the game itself that bad? I'm not a huge fan of AEW and I'm not that much into who is and isn't on the roster. I just like 3D wrestling games and games with decent create-a-character options.

[@MR.__G]

Get your money back. It has literally nothing to offer. Imagine a wrestling with 75 percent of the content taken out. There’s only 7 match types, no full entrances, one of the worst CAW’s, a small roster, a boring story mode, broken gameplay, no replay value… get your money back
