The reason there's no Community creations is because the CAW mode is so bare bones you really can't make anyone... it's worse than No Mercy's cause at least No mercy had like hundreds of different shirt and pants options to choose from... It'd be the worst CAW mode I ever played if I didn't also play ... steel cage challenge, I think, on gameboy that had the character "You" It's genuinely like far worse than Warzone's and I have no idea how that's even possible. It feels like they slapped it together in an afternoon under the logic that no matter how bad it was it was better than just flat out not having one. I think it is, but yeah, CAW is by far the biggest letdown of the game. A good create-a-character makes a huge difference.

Never forget TNA Impact's CAW mode where you could only make bootleg Luchadores and Nick Hogan faced dudes

That new game mode should be a free update. Same with the updated arena. I'm interested if Toni Storm will come with something else because it looks like most the season contents leaked before it was announced.

I’d probably say I’ve got a more positive viewpoint of the game than most. I think it’s enjoyable whilst understanding those who feel it’s a bit bare but man even I think the DLC situation is absolutely horse poop
Realising free new characters and modes would go a great way to filling out the game and build some momentum for it but charging £10 for the Acclaimed and a new set? Nah man that’s straight up BS

Like three weeks later still no sign of the DLC on the Switch so guess they've just abandoned that version.

It's been interesting watching the very rapid rise and fall of the game in the eyes of the gaming public, as due to a fairly rough year financially I still haven't bought the damn thing yet. (Not that I have Zero Entertainment Dollars to my name, just that I've put my disposable income towards watching actual AEW product, so the game has to wait.)
Sometimes I miss the olden days of games on physical media. Back in the day I could easily work out a trade with someone who owned a game but didn't like it anymore. Now people get to hate games they bought and be stuck with them for the rest of their life, rather than passing them along to a friend who might like them better.

I had a physical version I returned it almost immediately due to how much I hated it.

I usually don't regret going digital but this game's a case where I kinda-sorta do? I dunno, I'm split because I doubt I could even get much out of trading it in anyway. Gamestop doesn't even have it included in with their trade values.

Never forget TNA Impact's CAW mode where you could only make bootleg Luchadores and Nick Hogan faced dudes They're in the same boat, Fight Forever and Impact. An amazing foundation that everyone has written off less than a year into their run. There's a lot more to be done before AEW is a great game, but I know so many people who never touched it that trash it.

There's enough there to be a decent base for a later game but this game was released really bare bones

But I feel they absolutely destroyed any chance of good will with the overpriced 2nd dlc. I’m still enjoying the game but it’s basically doa at this point.

Yeah so that second season pass is shamefully overpriced. 3 wrestlers including one that is already out of date, 10 themes, a new arena that should've been a free update and a new game mode that should also have been a free update. All for $10 less than the previous season pass which was also overpriced.
Stick a fork in it. It's done.

I think I might get this given all the sales, and even the DLC possibly, if they do one thing, something I consider bare minimum for me to get it.
No Evil Uno, no buys.

I think the game is fun enough to play that it has some potential for the future, it's just at this point I feel like the only way it's going to actually live up to that potential is two or three sequels from now. This game just feels like a zombie to me and I think too much work needs to be done to improve it for one sequel to really be enough.

I would like to know his thoughts on the whole thing, and if THQ Nordic is planning to address that in a way that doesn't charge the fans extra.

He tends to be a team player, so he probably wouldn't want to rock the boat, but it's frustrating as a fan of his, and probably is for him, too. Him, especially with Stu or Alex Reynolds, would be nice to see.
