To avoid any arguments or confrontation, there are three subjects to avoid in conversation: religion, politics, and the big FIFA vs. PES debate that rages each year and divides gaming football fans whilst raising tensions in a heartbeat.
The 2012 season is underway and there two brand new games to play, but the age-old argument of ‘which is better: PES or FIFA’ rages on as it always has.
Games Asylum: "Outdated football games are a common sight when scouring jumble sales, car boots and charity shops for bargain price video games.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.
Is that PES has always had the better football mechanics, but FIFA is catching up quickly and to be honest as I have said in other threads I am considering getting it ahead of PES because FIFA is pretty much perfect now. It's still a bit wooden and scripted, but its to close to call between PES and FIFA now.
All sports games are shit.
Don't know why Fifa can't be bothered just to add a simple Franchise mode. I just want to pick a team and play a season for a championship. That's it, no managing, finance or auction house crap.
FIFA = more realistic animations, a lot of fun, a lot of licenses, great game modes (UT, LS, etc)
PES = more competitive (due to more arcadish gameplay), best career mode, best graphics (atleast player faces)
I wonder how big the jump will be when FIFA14 will began using Frostbite 2.
