OXM - Sam Horti compares this year to last year's effort.
Games Asylum: "Outdated football games are a common sight when scouring jumble sales, car boots and charity shops for bargain price video games. Entire shelves filled with decade-old FIFA and PES games spread across a dozen formats. Often they end up in bargain bins, sitting alongside unwanted celebrity fitness DVDs and seemingly random TV show box sets. But here’s the thing. Not all football games gathering dust in the likes of Oxfam are in fact worthless."
Just who is buying FIFA 13 on Wii U? We may never know, but there are more people buying that than there are Bayonetta 2 and Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric.
Sonic Boom is riding off the popularity of the TV show; it's a bad game.
And as for FIFA?
Well, guess that goes to show that there's a lot of older gamers on Wii U that wanted FIFA, then; sports games generally do out-sell action games, and Platinum isn't known for large sales in the first place.
I'm not worried for Bayonetta. It'll hit that 1M mark by the middle of next year, surely, at its current pace.
are seriously trying to downplay Bayonetta 2 with sales
In Fails of the Weak #210, Jack and Geoff bring you fails in Sniper Elite 3, FIFA 13, Sportsfriends, Destiny, Halo: Reach, and FIFA 14.
1: too short replays, and having to depend on a crappy EA website/connection to uopload a very limited number of 5 of those short replays, is just ridculous in this day and age.
Let me upload all the replays I want to my Youtube account! It's 2012 already! Get with the program, EA.
2: Too many screens and menus to click and suffer through before I can finally play a match.
3: I want a proper player-editor, so I can go in there and fix those players EA didn't care about, both in ability (offline only ofcourse), as well as appearance.
Another year, another number changed on the fifa cover.
Nice to see some of the bigger problems fixed for Fifa 13 namely the impact engine and the shocking ref decisions. Still, momentum is the big one I want EA to change. Now I don't think fifa is "scripted" to the point where the winner is determined from the start but there is definitely things that EA have done which favours a certain team. Last h2h game I played it felt like all my players were magnetically repelled from the ball making defending extremely difficult while my opponents team were charging into me like homing missiles with half the time making tackles while not even positioned correctly.
