They would have been better off just reskining Figure Fantasy...yea doing that puts them in the worst place among the gacha space but atleast the game would look gorgeous....maybe lol.

It's really frustrating that AEW's games division can't match the quality of the on-screen product. My guess is Tony is not a gamer so he's not willing to throw the same level of money at it. I think it might be that he saw Yukes & THQ and thought, okay they have experience with this. And sorta, but obviously there were a lot of factors he would not have considered, like how THQ Nordic has kind of seemed dysfunctional for years now. Like, had he spent more, I am not really sure who else is available in the wrestling-game market. Though, if they had not announced it as fast as they did, and maybe given it 6 months more or something in development, which throwing money at it could do, then yeah, maybe they'd have avoided a lot of this mess, even if it would have made Punk and Cody being in the game that much more jarring.

Jumping onto NFT's now? Like 2-3 years after they crashed? When even at their peak they were basically derided by the masses as f***ing stupid? Who the hell is making the decisions for this company's gaming division? Yeah, I'm sure the game was started back when NFT's were the hot new thing but that doesn't mean that you have to release it after the main component is worthless. Also if they are supposed to be figures they failed... and the WWE beat them to the punch with the figure characters in 2k24 that actually look like action figures... So, Evil Uno still isn’t in the game but those dudes are? And DLC packs cost THAT much? I guess I’m just never gonna buy this. Maybe I’m too poor lol You really aren't missing much not picking it up. My friend was talking like AEW should have just made a non wrestling story based game since any wrestling game would be compared unfavorably to the 2k series rightly or wrongly. I thought he was crazy but... it's a better idea than an NFT based mobile game. The NFT market is essentially dead, not like it was ever large in terms of user base.

I am very fortunate that my city's public library program allows video games to be checked out. I had to wait a bit, but was able to check Fight Forever out for a week.
Played it for less than an hour, was completely underwhelmed and immediately went back to playing Wrestling Empire on the Switch. FAR better game for a fraction of the cost.

Going to PS is perfect timing for me. I bought the Xbox version on my S and now am going to migrate off S and go to my PS5 cause that's where my friends play online

Got it from PS+, first time I've played it in a while. I've been having a lot of fun playing random matches as the regular roster, even if there are things about the controllers that the game doesn't tell you.
But BOY I was not prepared for just how limited the creation suite is. I feel like Smackdown 1 gave me more options.

It won't just unlock and be ready to use like literally every other wrestling game.

Ok now after a couple of days with the game, here are some positive and negatives:
+ Gameplay is still really fun to me, I love just having matches + The art-style is growing on me + No DQ matches are crazy as hell + Move variety is pretty good for a first game + On that note, move animation is generally awesome - My one critique of the gameplay is that counters seem pretty obtuse, I don't need them to be super easy but most of the time they seem to happen at random - Visual customization is a wasteland - They really need a way to sort moves, just having them on a long ass list does nothing - I have no goddamn idea how to get stars for matches, I had some where I got A's and B's across the board and only had 2 stars - Road to Elite is weak, the fact that you can win the title on the first story and then never defend it of be aknowledged as such is terrible - The Death Triangle story is irredimibly awful

Whoever came up with the Death Triangle story and match in Road to Elite should be banished from working in the gaming industry. What absolute dogshit on every conceivable level.
