The Absolute Disappointment of AEW Fight Forever

[@ZbeastVIP]

My biggest problem with the game is the lack of content. It was understandable that the game would be bare bones at first but after paying over $70 for the elite edition I find it extremely disrespectful to fans the fact that they want to keep charging more for "DLC" with the stuff that should be included in the base game, let alone the especial edition.

[@tuckermitchell7869]

They wanted to make it No Mercy, and the 20+ year old No Mercy had much more to do in it than Fight Forever

[@jacobsnipes6244]

You deserve it for paying $70 lol

[@FuckBalls64]

Further compounding these issues is Tony Khan's status as a literal multi-billionaire. He could just as easily have chosen to release these new packs as free DLC to spread positive intuition among fans, maybe causing them to stick around for something nicer on the horizon. To charge super solid cash for this comes off as greedy and selfish.

The CAW being barebones is absolutely unexcusable for Yukes. "We wanted the game to be like No Mercy" No Mercy had OPTIONS, KENNY!!!

[@BardiXOfficial]

Hell, I miss the SVR customizations of giving your character a giant head on a small body, or the other way around

[@ANTICENA571]

No Mercy is also 25 years old. Of course it was limited!

[@BigAl2k6]

@ANTICENA571 I would argue that No Mercy, although limited in comparison to games that came after in terms of creation options, is still leaps and bounds better than AEW FF due to the amount of options you had for clothing and faces. Hell in AEW I can't even have my character wear a t-shirt without it being tied to entrance gear. I can't even have it tucked in! That seems awfully minor but it's important to some of the guys i want to create. When you have a ton of character slots but only 7 faces to choose from with a handful of hair and beard styles that's a slap in the face.

[@lutherheggs451]

That was never going to happen when you have Yukes making the game...The exact same people who made Smackdown all the way through to 2K19. THQ was only the publisher, Yukes has always been the developer.

[@jdbruiser]

@@TimeCenaPSW Ok there wasn't much to the game, but I think it's good enough as an alternative to the Triple A overly-mechanical WWE 2K offerings. Fight Forever actually knows it's a videogame.

[@BigAl2k6]

Oh, one thing I wanted to mention that i mentioned in my own video is that when it comes to creation options they were oddly particular about certain parts they included. They have Jushin Liger's mask horns, but no way to feasibly make him. They have Bruiser Brody's chains but, one, he's near impossible to make and two, they HAVE to be part of the wrestler's outfit, not just entrance. They have Road Warrior football pads but nothing resembling the face paint or outfits They have the fucking 7 scars of the Big Dipper for Kenshiro's chest but no way to actually make Kenshiro They even have Buffaloman's chest insignia when he's possessed by the Devil in Kinnikuman/Ultimate Muscle. Not to mention the ludicrous amount of anime inspired taunts but no way to make any anime characters And the most insulting part of all, only 7 faces and a handful of hair and facial hair styles? Really? You gave us like 100 slots for creation but they all ultimately just look like the same 5 guys in different gimmicks? Why would you go out of your way to have these specific oddball creation parts then force the player to stick with the most milquetoast generic creation templates known to man? Gameplay might be the heart and soul of a wrestling game but its creation mode is the blood pumping through that heart. To say I was disappointed would be the understatement of the decade.

[@DaddyDagoth]

Holy shit you're a fucking mark lmao

[@unforgivenwrestlemaniac]

Since you reviewed both games, which game is better: Fight Forever or Showdown? I think Showdown had more create a wrestler options, though less content.

[@BigAl2k6]

@cherrypepsiman191 Moveset and entrance wise? AEW hands down Creation content? Well, both suck and are limited, but even though Showdown had just about as much face and hair options, it still has much more options in the outfit department even if you couldnt change the colors for half of them.

[@unforgivenwrestlemaniac]

@@BigAl2k6 Showdown also had an awesome roster too due to how far back they go into the 70s. Wrestlers that won’t be in wrestling games today due to time passing and current young developers being too young to remember them.

[@tafua_a]

@@BigAl2k6 At least with Showdown if they put something from a wrestler, you can create that wrestler (or at least a bootleg version of them). Hell, you can even make characters that kinda look like MK characters if you squint.

[@devilsorchard1449]

The thing that always gets me about this game is that Kenny Omega was involved in the development. Can't wait for AJ Styles to have a producer credit on 2K24.

[@muckymoe5619]

[@C0DYM4N99]

I'm going to give it this: it's a fun arcade toss-up when I played it against my best friend in real life. Outside of that...I really wish AEW and Yukes did their research on a far superior structure of a Story Mode: No Mercy, HCTP, or even SVR '06. Ngl, I'd love if they based unique storylines to explore with your custom/chosen wrestler: - Decide whether or not to be a client of Taz (Path of Rage) - Testing where you lie with a program to Malakai Black, if you have what it takes to be on The House of Black - Proving to The Bucks n' Omega that you're more than just an elite athlete, but larger than life. SOMETHING, to make you remember your experiences with a story mode! Because my god, I still fondly remember that brilliant ECW storyline they pulled from '06.

[@artofchang]

There have been reports about issues between Yuke's and AEW like Kenny Omega not getting along with the development team and Yuke's wanting to enter a long term contract which AEW didn't want, plus Yuke's parent company Embracer Group and their current financial woes and handling of the companies they own. If a sequel does happen, I don't see Yuke's making it if the partnership doesn't improve. The game has a good base. It just feels bare bones and lacks a ton of content compared to not just WWE 2k but other games in general.

[@yellow117n]

They better not make a sequel! My understanding was it would be like SF5 where they would build off base game. I REALLY wanted to love this game BUT the lack of CAW options and story mode I have never cared about really but a damper on my enthusiasm for this game. Promise was that we would get a game in the N64 wrestling games but I don’t see it. The matches are not fluid “in my humble opinion” and just feel stiff and disjointed. I just wanted a graphically better better AKI engine with updated move and creation options but sadly I don’t think it delivered. FYI I’m an older gamer “first game system was Atari 2600” and I have waited 20+ years for a true spiritual successor. I guess the old saying is true “you can’t always get back home again” sadly.

I purchased the Elite edition of FIght Forever during Black Friday 2023. I am pleased with my purchase because of the reduced price. However, I don't like how expensive the DLC character packs were at launch and continue to be.

Sometimes these wrestling games are in fact so bad they are good, especially with glitches

[@B1g_B0sssss]

They would be even better witht the monkes from the planet of the apes trilogy!

Bro said 2 weeks I've been waiting anxiously for this video I got tired of repeating the punisher review... I can finally smile again

[@AlexWebb101]

My apologies, was playing spider-man 2

​@@AlexWebb101im disappointed u weren't watching the planet of the apes reboot trilogy.

[@SairajRKamath]

Kenny Omega's involvement doesn't mean this game was in good hands. Being a video game fan doesn't predispose you to being good video game developer.

[@PRIM3TACTiCZ1]

🤣 the amount of people saying " let them take their time to make this game perfect" well they took their time and it flopped hard

[@FatherJacksBrick]

The fact No Mercy still shits over this game, speaks volumes on how out of touch AEW actually is.

[@TheSuckoShow]

I really like the core mechanics, I think it has the funnest matches of any wrestling game in years. And it's a darn shame the content and features are so skimpy.

[@trahapace150]

Yeah cause that's what gamers wanted from wrestling games.....something funny

[@ShadowWolfe]

I can only imagine how long this took for you to edit all the elements together, but damn it paid off! As for the game itself, I decided to wait and I'm sad that the creation suite is just... empty. It's the one thing keeping me from switching away from 2K. I hope they're working on adding a bunch of stuff all at once, because there's no way that after all this time, they'd just let the game fall into obscurity. Also RTE barely acknowledging your title wins, much like (I think) 2K20 or 2K22's career mode. I remember watching DenkOps play that and he had titles that were just... ignored.

[@blurplebear8573]

This is why you don't give a mark wrestler, Omega, and give him money to make a video game as a mark video game fan.

[@BlondeTiger]

I mainly couldn't get over the kick out system. I hate button mashing to kick out. I need a skill based timed system.

[@chetankalyanreddyarabandi2818]

Where IS 19 INCHES of MARVEL SPIDERMAN 2 ??? WHEREEE !!!!

[@lashisrad]

It's funny how the story mode is only 2 hours, repetitive, and goes nowhere, it Truly is AEW haha But seriously I've been joking the last few months about how any time I tune into AEW, it starts out 1 guy, cutting a pointless promo, 3 guys interrupting that pointless promo, 2 more guys coming in for the first guy. And then it boils down to "I want to fight you tonight!" "Why?" "Because Wrestling." "Oh ok, me too, I'll fight you for wrestling." And then Jon Moxley finds some way to get involved in the match so he can make his head bleed 900 more times.

[@jokesover3433]

The fact they don't have full entrance made me uninterested.🤷

[@B1g_B0sssss]

Same for me, but what made me even more interested was the fact there was no monke from the planet of thr apes trilogy

[@MR.__G]

Think about how lazy you have to be to not have full entrances. We had full entrances back in 1999 for wwf attitude & WM 2000. There’s absolutely no excuses in the world for a wrestling game to not have full entrances in 2023

[@AndycondaVice]

CM Punk and Alex Webb both return in the space of a week. A true AEW in the mud moment

[@SeasoningTheObese]

I can't believe these bozos got Yuke's to make an imitation AKI game, instead of making a Yuke's game.

[@AztecUnshaven]

"Imitation AKI" lol. Guess you don't realize Geta San himself (No Mercy's Lead Creative Director) also worked on this game.

[@MR.__G]

Exactly so caught up in the past instead of actually trying to innovate.

[@delboy0409]

I think this game sets up for an awesome second game somewhere down the line

[@Cocakula00]

My problem was uping CAWs overall even playing road to elite twice it doesn’t keep what I upgrade before my replay

[@Fezzy976]

If you think this game cost only $10 mil you are deluded. The game reportedly cost around $25-35 mil. It lost an insane amount of money and Yukes and AEW are not on good terms at all so expect a new dev if they ever make a sequel which I doubt they will.

[@alonemax2912]

So sad about this game. It's really close to be a great wrestling game, but it's just an alpha version of a game we never got.
