Stewart
Josh, mate, will you please stop being a child and stop trying to ‘win’ the argument.
I've every respect for Steven, but he is not the gaming God, his word is not law, and it doesn't sum anything up nicely. Its just his opinion. :D
I know you only came in here so you could say ‘PES is not as good as FIFA’ and were looking for any excuse from Stevens review to say it, so how about this quote from the IGN review of PES - ‘there’s no doubting that PES 2009 is the most fun football game on the market.’
Whats that IGN? PES is the most fun? Exactly what I was saying in previous threads?
Sums that up nicely then doesn't it. :D
Josh - instead of trying to say ‘I was right’ at every chance, maybe you could try saying why as well. Just a thought. I know usually you've caused a massive argument by calling everyone who doesn't agree with you a fan boy by now, but still.
Good review Steven, a little FIFA biased of course, but good none the less. I only skimmed it so couldn't tell, did you actually point out that PES is far more fun to play than FIFA in your review, or don't you agree with that?
IGN is a joke look at the score they gave it last year and compare it to this years and that despite the reviewer of this years states explicitly that last years was very disappointing, now contemplate how PES2008 carried IGN adverts all over it.
Pro Evo is not the most fun to play, it is the most arcadey and whilst that can be fun, it depends on what you want, personally I want football to play like rea football, with player weight, momentum and proper build up play, infact it's why I always preferred the earlier PES games over the earlier FIFA ones.
Me and most of my mates who were massive fans of PES4-6 have all switched to FIFA, not because of some fan boy crap but because FIFA now delivers simply the best football game there is available. Honestly the game plays so good, with proper ebb and flow, periods of pressure, tactics really do make a massive difference, no more sticking 4 upfront ala PES. I played a few games of AC Milan versus Chelsea (online) and whilst not exciting games in terms of goals of chances created I was deeply impressed at how it mirrored real football as both teams swamped the middle and compressed the game. I also played with Roma against Inter and it was equally realistic in that in order to get anywhere I was forced to play in the style of the real Roma, knocking the ball around in triangles in order to find small gaps in the defence, entirely different from playing with the likes of Aston Villa, Man Utd or Barcelona.
