FIFA 21 review - Unpolished, Possibly Unifinised Soccer Sim | TechStomper

With a pandemic forcing most people to work from home, EA could have released a cut-price season update and explained that to their shareholders. Instead, we get an unfinished FIFA update at full price.

How did that score a 3, barely saw a single positive sentence

rataranian1323d ago

Didnt they just come out with 20 like 5 months ago?

Kaii1323d ago

People should just watch gameplays nowdays, Hows it possible to be the same game yr on yr and consistently score 7's when they net 1$+ billions worth of microtransactions.
But looking at Amazon best sellers and seeing it top 3 does put a ./facepalm on my face, buying the same game since 09.

"buying the same game since 09"

Not quite. It has gone through major game play changes since then. Shooting, passing, player physics, crossing, penalties, it's all changed since back then and all of it is worse. FIFA 14 was the last time the game had major changes and I have hated it ever since.

toddybad1323d ago

Told myself I wasn't going to buy it but I did. Idiot me.
FIFA 12 and fifa 13 were fun. You could play any formation and find one to your style and have a good game.
Since then every single year you have to pay a certain formation and style to stand a chance. It changes each year as they break a different bit of the game each year.
We've now got a game where you have to have all your defenders inside your own box and your forwards as far forward as possible. Drag backs and skills have made the game stupid. Full pressure and deep drop back in every single game. It's a mess.

PrimeVinister1322d ago

Definitely agree. Zero tactical depth.

Splits into 3, so 3 times as many middle managers, never a good thing isn’t that what ruined them in the first place ?

Well people complain when they consolidate and there's redundancies. This is the opposite so apparently you can't win.

Honestly huge companies being less huge is a good thing. I think ABK should have done the same thing, then they could have had more than one possible buyer to purchase them. It was really Microsoft or no one how they stood.

From the sound of it. Each company will be separate from each other.

They may not have a plan to exit gaming. But give it time they will eventually sell off everything and fade away into nothing.

Stellar Blade has sold more physical copies than Dragon's Dogma 2 in Japan, despite PS5 exclusivity

By the looks of it, PlayStation 5 exclusivity does not hurt the sales of Stellar Blade in Japan as the game has passed 90,000 sold physical copies.

Hugodastrevas12h ago

Stellar Blade really deserves way more praise than it got, devs have been adding more and more content, for free, since release and the game already was great to begin with!

BrettAwesome9h ago

More than it got? It got tons, by everyone except the sad wankers who's idea of a sex life, is pulling on their dicks while watching big fake cgi titties 😂

Cacabunga9h ago

I think we can safely claim that Stellar Blade 2 is confirmed!
I got it day one, i have some backlog due to RDR2 i just platinumed.. i will get to Stellar Blade in the near future

shinoff21838h ago

Same but I'm hitting yakuza right now. Stellar blade looks cool though.

neutralgamer19927h ago

Capcom really dropped the ball with DG2. They had easy success on their hand but instead with their stupid decisions ruined the games success

Stellar blade is an amazing game and deserves all the success. For all the artificial hate it got from people who had no interest in the game to begin with this shows if you make a good game it will sell. The so called 1st party drought from PlayStation has meant 4 exclusives in 2024 so far. Other companies need to learn how to run a business and plan for the future

Stellar blade is performing very impressively there, DD2 didn't do well because word of mouth destroyed it's reputation and not about the Microtransactions or performance, bad word of mouth about how the game lacks so many things that were in the first one

Redemption-649h ago

DS2 sold 2.5M in a little over a week, what the hell are you talking about?

H99h ago

"there", that's Japan, this article is about Japan, the bad word of mouth is about Japan

Exclusives matter. No matter what bumbling phil and bond try to say, exclusives is why you buy a console.

The_Hooligan7h ago

How dare you speak common sense!!??

jznrpg2h ago

It would if they added a lot more combat and didn’t focus on graphics

XiNatsuDragnel10h ago

Stellar blade is great excited for 2

anast10h ago

They dropped the ball with dogma. SB is a solid game, it just had to weather the social storm.

shinoff21838h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Said that dd2 was missing things the first one did,like mass effect 2? I haven't played it so I'm really asking.

spss117h ago

I've played both and I have no idea what people say when they claim it's "incomplete". I've only noticed new things in comparison to DD1 (I would give a list but spoilers). Sometimes I wonder if some people actually played DD1 or maybe they remember it differently. Anyways, if you liked the first one and want more of that, you'll probably like DD2.
