All Elite Wregret

[@BainesMkII]

Strangely enough, I feel this video undersells the sheer disappointment of Fight Forever. The minigames are truly awful. RTE is meh even the first time, yet you are expected to keep playing it over and over to unlock stuff and for every single CAW you make. The $12 DLC packs only give you two additional wrestlers, because you are also paying for two more minigames. Sending a CAW through RTE for a second time resets all their previously earned stats, so you have to build them "right" in one go or start over from scratch. Matches often feel too short unless you simply refuse to pin your opponent, and there is no way to adjust this. Post-release support so far has been laughably bad with way too much silence, and the most recent patch may have broken nearly as much stuff as it fixed. Considering all the focus that was spent on the minigames and now Stadium Stampede, you start to question whether they even wanted to make a serious wrestling game at all, or just a hub for a wrestling-themed party game.

[@MR.__G]

There’s more mini games than there are match types. That’s insane for a wrestling game !

[@MrTeamGuy]

I really like the game

[@ththrshpnd]

As soon as I saw the Create-a-Wrestler mode, I was glad I didn't get the game.

[@Jonkin715]

The current WWE game set the CAW VERY high. If there is a fictional humanoid character that exists, it can be created.

[@MR.__G]

Only 7 match types to cycle through made me stay away from the game. Back on the ps2 there used to be tons of match types. Makes no excuse why there’s only 7 here on better hardware

[@BigAl2k6]

What's baffling to me about CAW mode is that they throw in random little nods and trinkets referencing specific wrestlers you COULD make but have absolutely no way to. They have Jushin Liger's horns but no way to make him. They have the druids and taunts for Undertaker but no way to make him. They have the fucking Big Dipper scars Kenshiro has in Fist of the North Star but good luck making a decent version of him. Honestly i think that's way worse than it simply being barebones. It's fucking embarrassing seeing Kenny Omega brag about AEW Fight Forever being a No Mercy successor when No Mercy actually had more options. You have a whopping 100 creations slots and each wrestler can have 5 outfits How the fuck is that even possible when the creation mode is so limited? It's embarrassing.

[@Jonkin715]

This reminds me of Street Fighter 5, where the gameplay was fine, but the overall package is very barebones.

[@athanaskozhuharov9700]

Gameplay wise it is No Mercy and this is the problem. The year in 2023 and I can't kick out after a finisher, I can't reverse a finisher and the story mode is just career mode from WWE 2K15....

[@-The-Darkside]

No mercy was only 64Mb in size too. It shows how badly optimised and missing content there is in a $60 game (more for the season pack) It has more in common with old WWF games in teh 80s than it does No mercy.

[@aldrichhf35]

You can say sht about wwe 2k's game look and feels like. But you have to admit all of their games offers more somewhat entertaining content than aew ff ever be

[@Harakengard]

@@athanaskozhuharov9700 "and the story mode is just career mode from WWE 2K15...." Holy sh*t, that explains the uncomfortable vibe i had while watching this video : RTTE seems to just be WWE 2K15's career mode (which was absolutely appalling and one of the most boring thing i went through in a video game) but with mini-games!

[@melasnexperience]

Thanks for talking about the lackluster create-a-wrestler, cuz that's the whole reason I passed on it. Apparently they made it very meh on purpose, lest there be a strong custom scene like the WWE games have and thus have fans include guys from their rival's roster. Pretty petty, but frankly, "petty" seems to be part of the AEW brand after this past month. Also, apparently there's a bug where some of the special character unlocks don't work even if you meet the conditions. Don't know if it's been fixed yet. As someone who just wanted to make my OC & have her tag team with Owen Hart to pummel my least favorite AEW stars, I am disappointed.

[@Algoth_Igneous]

If you play tag matches not in road to the elite mode if you go to options When selecting your tag partner it'll let you control them during tagging. Also if your opponent is trying to stand up and you go to Grapple them it will always do that reversal is not a bug it's a future to prevent spamming. The best thing to do is to strike first or twice and then do a grab. You can also turn on reversal indicators from the main option menu and I will help you start getting down the timing of reversals when you see the flash of a correct one. It's all about timing in this game. Also if you're trying to kick out of a pin attempt press two buttons at once and alternatively tap the other two face buttons. When you're down on the ground either Wag the left thumbstick back and forth or just do circles to help get up quicker.
