>>18485255 (OP)
It's been out for a while, enjoyed by thousands of players! Hope this helps.

>>18485406
The vegan choice makes me kek every time

>>18485414
>thousands
not even close lol

>>18485406
yeah and what were your star ratings on those matches? probably garbage. you're supposed to have a wrestling match, not play like it's a fighting game. let the opponent get you in some moves, fight from underneath, make it a good show.
you're playing the game wrong and wondering why it sucks, like some zoomer retard.

>>18485414
10 current players, with a 30-day average of 8.2 players on steam.

>>18485452
holy coperoli
the AI is retarded and the mechanics are broken

>>18485467
poor little low iq zoomer, can't figure out how to play a wrestling game.
when was the last time you saw a good squash match? why would you think squashing your opponent is how you're supposed to play a wrestling game?

>>18485255 (OP)
5 bucks at your local Gamestop

>>18485406
>game lets me choose whether I’m a vegan or not
that's it, i'm buying the game as soon as i finish my organic full onions latte triple shot expresso

>>18485583
Based schizo

>>18485542
Kenny your game is shit, deal with it

>>18485467
Yeah based actually played the game anon. It's a fine smackdown style game with less match types than the original smackdown on ps1

>>18485452
Kek obese smarks care about star ratings even in games.

>>18485453
Kek even with 80% off sales, it can't grow its playerbase. Just like ticket prices and their show attendence

>>18485406
>finishers actually finish a match and there isn’t a ton of kick outs and finisher spam
>AEW game
I refuse to believe this. Are you playing on the lowest difficulty?

>>18485839
the AI is utterly retarded on all difficulties

>hey there, sweet cheeks, one copy of AEW Fight Forever, pertty please

>>18485797
why do you think the game has star ratings, anon? Just for fun? you think it's a coincidence that shitty fast squash matches only get one star and low points?
poor little low iq zoomers. can't understand that the point of wrestling isn't who wins, its how good the match is.

>>18485992
lose weight.

Vienna sausage body face ass

>>18485797
Why did 2k games put the star rating in their games? Meltzer is GOD

>>18487665
I actually just made this thread because that picture of Jericho makes me laugh more than it should. It’s almost charming to me how shitty it looks

e-drones care more about a 2+ year-old video game than their own slop

>>18485839
reminder: nobody has kicked out from the OWA while Cody hasn't beaten anyone with a single Cross Rhodes in years

>>18487712
>nobody has kicked out from the OWA
It's actually called the One Wing Diverticulitis since the last update.

Part of me think this game exists, and will not get a sequel, just dlc, just so Tony can have a video game where he can't lose any of his roster to retirement or wwe.

>>18487724
>One Wing

I HEAR THE SERS CRY

>>18487712
2K is slop but FF is even below that

>>18487797
last DLC was in 2024, game is dead

>>18489260
No, it isn't. At least with FF there's a flow to the matches with a primitive momentum system, in 2K you're just there to watch the animations and kick out of 99 moves until the one arbitrarily gets the fall.

>>18489802
2K has paybacks that you can only use once damaged, trade blows, you can get some of your health back, instant recoveries, you can save 3 finishers to get a super finisher and more

>>18490187
So you just trade shit back and forth until one arbitrarily gets the fall.

>>18490243
wow exactly like in FF

>>18490271
No, because of momentum.

>>18485453
Imagine the state of them lads

>>18490365
that's almost like health in 2K, if you get some of it back, it will be easier to kick out

>>18490527
You can kick out almost infinitely with any kind of video game aptitude.

>>18490539
and you can get pinned in FF with high momentum no matter how fast you mash if you have low health

>>18490679
I'll give you that it can be hard to kick out with low health and high momentum, but it's false to say no matter how fast you mash you can't do it. I wouldn't even frame it as a bad thing.
The problem with 2K is that you essentially can't lose, not even limited to kick out, bu the CPU is predictable and reversal timing is ultra telegraphed.

>>18490679
Yeah but fight forever is garbage. You're better off getting smackdown shut your mouth for 6 bucks on ebay since it has about 30 times the match types, and actual character creator suite and plays the same

>>18485452
>and what were your star ratings for the match
You really can't make up how gay the average AEW fan is. New words are needed for the levels of faggotry they display.

>>18490727
>buying a 23 year old game
lel, just get the iso

>>18490727
You're better off getting smackdown shut your mouth for 6 bucks on ebay over any wrestling game in the last 15~20 years.

>>18490770
WWE games have had star ratings all the way back since the THQ days.

>>18490774
Well then get here comes the pain or shut your mouth which don't deserve to be talked about with fight forever. I gave the example of the worst smackdown game because that's what FF is; the worst smackdown game.

>>18485551
too much

>>18490802
The worst Smackdown is better than the best 2K.

>>18490770
the star ratings are in the game for a reason, anon.
poor little low iq zoomer can't even comprehend how a wrestling game is supposed to be played.

>>18490849
It isn't better than 2k14/2k19 or 2k/24.

>>18490849
smackdown was never good

>>18490853
star rating is for autists

>>18490876
Yeah it's great. Smackdown 2 still clears no mercy

>>18490903
no it fucking doesn't

>>18490912
Yes it fucking does

>>18490895
nope! star ratings are the measure of how well you played the game. you're welcome :)

>>18490957
>just let the ai batter you while you do nothing to up the stat rating which literally just counts offense
>Yeah the AI is really shitty and unfun but that's the game and the brand
>shitty and unfun in the service of star ratings
Weird cope AEWtist :)

>>18490903
No one has ever properly articulated to me why they think that. Smackdown games were always just a new wrestler gallery where you look at the new entrances, moves and match types, but it was never a compelling gameplay experience, they never tried to replicate what it would be like to play a wrestling match like No Mercy, it was just movez and no selling until a guy starfishes and you can pin him.

>>18491110
Nta but ...
Smackdown 2 has
>three times as many match types as no mercy
>a deeper character creator
>better graphics
>no slow down
>faster gameplay overall
>no save eating glitch
>easier to pick up and play
I like both but I prefer smackdown arcade playstyle and prefer revenge to no mercy

>>18490994
>let him hit me? in a WRESTLING game? whatever for?
anon, you know wrestling isn't real fights, right? they let each other do all that stuff.

>>18490994
there is always some dumbass that defends FF for some reason

>>18491153
the save eating glitch is overblown. never happened to me or to anyone I knew who owned the game.

>>18491191
and you know this is a game and the AI shouldn't be braindead, don't you?
you can have a 15 minute kino match in NM and that is absolutely impossible in FF unless you play like shit on purpose

>>18491196
If you have the game check if it's series number has a -1. If so then that's why, you have a non glitches copy. If not you're a poser because every copy deletes Dat randomly

>>18491207
FF AEWtists will tell you that that's fun

>>18491216
can't wait to read his next cope

>>18491153
Very superficial, always is.

>>18491298
>has no response
Never does

>>18491212
no, that's simply not true. it's been overblown by zoomers watching youtube and thinking they know things.

>>18491207
>letting the other guy get his shit in? in a WRESTLING game? that doesn't work for me, brother!
I don't think this is the genre of video game for you, anon.

>>18485452
>Hey that wrestling game you're playing? You're not suppose to play the game you're suppose to simulate a match in a wrestling game

>>18491437
>what do you mean a WRESTLING game is about having WRESTLING matches???
anon I think you might be shoot retarded.

>>18491416
That simply is true

Wow, how damning

>>18491471
thing is No Mercy has a way better AI than Crap Forever and you don't have to let the AI hit you to have a good match

>>18491457
playing FF for so long has given you brain damage

>>18491501
I agree, I also agree No Mercy is an s tier game, I just think Smackdown 2 is as well.
>but ff
I'm the anon who said FF is like a shit copy of smackdown 3, which I consider the worst smackdown game. I think FF is like a b tier game if that helps.

>>18491462
>tries to refute the claim that it's an overblown myth pushed by youtubers

I cannot overstate how utterly retarded you look in this moment.

>>18491542

>ignores half the non youtube sources
I wouldn't be giving retard tips if I was you anon

>>18491542
even if the bug happens, who cares? play on an emulator or get an everdrive

>>18491207
It's unfair to compare it to No Mercy because No Mercy is the best wrestling game of all time and AKI games are the exception where they're such good games because you can play normally and have an authentic feeling, back and forth match. But it's it's not a FF exclusive issue that you have to purposefully drag matches out and get your shit in if you want to have a good match, because the reason it's like that is because it's a Yuke's game which had the same problem dating back to Smackdown and even after Yuke's, the 2K games all inherit the same issue. You don't have to let the CPU beat up on you, but you do have to get your shit in and the CPU will usually get some shine by itself.
FF is rough around the edges, you can tell there were development issues and that it would need sequels or big patches to reach it's potential, but overall it's a VASTLY overhated game, the momentum system, while flawed is better than not having it at all and things like abilities and movement and walk speed differences do make it feel like you're actually playing different wrestlers somewhat as opposed to Smackdown/SvR/WWE'/2K where each wrestler feels the same with stat modifiers.
I grew up playing every wrestling game I could get my hands on and FF while flawed, it's an excellent first entry into a series, it's a shame that AEW will never be big enough to follow up on it.
>>18491380
Read above.

>>18491559
Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 is the GOAT

Fight Forever had some good ideas but the game was an unbalanced mess and they never patched it and now is dead

>>18491551
>non youtube sources
>like gamefaqs, populated exclusively by retards and trolls
>and the cutting room floor, the site that gets all its information from youtube
lmfao. retard

>>18491559
>No Mercy is the best wrestling game of all time
stopped reading right here.
you gotta make bait believable if you want people to take it

>>18491559
>FF is vastly overhated
It isn't, it's a game with no depth to single player, garbage AI and a dead online environment. I still haven't been able to play one of those stadium matches because there is no one to play and they don't offer it offline. It's a copy of a 25 year old game with 7th gen graphics that look worse than TNA on Wii.

>>18491595
Yous stopped before I explained why? Tkae your pick of an AKI game for being the best, I admit I haven't played them all but NM is better than anything AKI didn't make.

>>18491457
It's a GAME not a simulated wrestling event I'm not entertaining the virtual crowd I am winning the match

>>18491586
>you can't post youtube sources
>or any others
Nice cope faggot

>>18491612
>akislop is the best
again, bait needs to be believable if you want people taking it

>>18491613
based beyond belief

Will Ultra Pro Wrestling be the next No Mercy or is it just an elaborate scam

>>18491613
it's a game where you have wrestling matches, anon. most wrestling matches aren't squashes.
your "win the game at all costs" mentality is better suited to a fighting game like mortal kombat or smash brothers. that's not the point of a wrestling game.

>>18491603
>it's a game with no depth to single player
In terms of what? Modes? Yeah. In terms of wrestlers feeling different to play, momentum and turning assists off there is more depth than sacred cows like HCtP where you just exchange moves with different skins and animations.

>>18491652
All my matches are squashes welcome to a video game not a tutorial.

>>18491693
you're playing wrestling games wrong, anon.
maybe try mortal kombat or smash brothers.

>>18491703
or you could play a good wrestling game that doesn't force you to play like shit because the AI is retarded

>>18491703
Yes a wrestling GAME not a wrestling quick time event which is what you want. "Oh Omega knee's me in this spot better crawl to the ropes" thats not a game thats a scripted event which are in cutscenes or quick time events that is not a game controlled by the player.

And if this is how AEW Fight Forever functions of having to have your opponent hit moves in order to increase the star ratings that's incredibly stupid and a reason why the game didn't sell well

>>18491721
>letting my opponent get his shit in? in a WRESTLING game? that doesn't work for me, brother!
this isn't the genre for you, anon.

>>18491721
this is what simtists don't get
if I get a low rating is because I squashed the AI
well the fucking devs should have designed a competent AI like AKI did 25 years ago in the first place

>>18491747
That's a simulated wrestling event yes I want my opponent to hit their finisher on me to get the crowd reacting. In a GAME I do not want a finisher hit on me because I could potentially lose the match. Understand the difference?

Fire Pro was a mistake, it turned a whole generation into simtards who don't enjoy playing games

>>18491713
That's just AKI games. 2K has longer matches, but if you don't want the AI to hit you they can't.

>>18491782
I loved Fire Pro Wrestling because no two matches were the same. In one match I could just throw a punch and the opponent is critical and hit a finisher and win. The next match I could hit 4 finishers and they'd still kick out or counter it was exciting

>>18491776
>I want to win so bad i'm willing to let match quality suffer for it
this isn't the genre for you, anon. try fighting games. they're more in line with your philosophy.

>>18491805
>match quality
confirmed shoot retard/simtard

>>18491805
>Match quality to suffer

Who's the match quality for? The virtual metlzer? Virtual wrestling promotion? My virtual money? You're fucking retarded its a video game not a virtual reality

>>18491820
>having good WRESTLING matches? in a WRESTLING game? huh???
you fundamentally do not understand the game, anon. maybe try fighting games.

>>18491586
Cool cope

>>18491796
2K is also slop of the highest order

>>18491805
This anon 100% pretends meltzer gives the star ratings

>>18491839
No shit a quality match is
>Oh man that lasted like 10 minutes
>the AI was tough hut I managed to squeak out a victory
Not
>I let the AI beat me up for yummy stars
If FF didn't have sub WCW Nitro AI it might be decent

>>18492011
Who else is supposed to be giving the star ratings, anon? Jave Jeltzer?

>>18492023
I want a video game to be challenging and in a wrestling game if the match goes longer the match quality will increase to 4 or 5 stars but my goal in this VIDEO GAME is not to acquire a 5 star match its to beat my opponent. If one of the objectives were requiring me to have a 5 star match then yes I'll allow offensive moves to hit my character in order to achieve that star rating to complete the objective. Not every match in the wrestling video game needs to be 5 stars and if your game requires that then you're not playing a video game you're making a wrestling simulator

the star rating is such a dogshit system that forces you to needlessly drag out a match. it makes what should be a five minute match into a half hour match of you just unloading the entire moveset onto a braindead AI because some retard decided that’s the way the game is meant to be played.

>>18492161
you don't understand what wrestling games are for, anon.
try fighting games.

>>18492180
Here you go anon the perfect game for you. You get yelled at by a GM for not giving the fans a good match even if you win. This is your game.

>>18485255 (OP)
I was told it was going to be amazing

>>18492212
it is amazing.
i've never seen so much money and development time go to such spectacular waste.

it is one of the funniest flops I have seen. nobody even pretended to care about it for a second. it just came out and nobody cared

I like how this game lost 99% of its player base within 3 months of its release. Game actually had decent amounts of concurrent players at launch. Shows you how shitty it turned out to be.

>>18494030
>decent amounts
all-time high on steam was less than 1500 people lol
and it lost most of that playerbase in a single month

>>18494072
Should have made the game fun

>>18494113
the game is fun actually, that's the tragedy
the core engine and gameplay are great, it's literally everything else about the game that sucks
