Guys, I've just played the PES 2008 demo.
Nack, man, All this time you have been talking and flaming people and comparing FIFA 08 to PES 2008, and along the way, I had a feeling that for some reason PES 2008 is going to be good, as usual.
I just played the demo of PES 2008, and oh my god, what an awful and disgusting game that was!
Right now I'm all smiles and don't know where to start with the horribleness of such game!
What did KONAMI do exactly? I felt very sorry to see the company who once created a very good football game, heading to the wrong with their last title!
OMG, it was the ugliest moment of my life when I played the PES demo!
Man, I had no idea at all that it was this bad.
Where should I start???
1. Gameplay:
Man, f*^k, but this game plays like Super Mario 3D! After playing FIFA 08's demo, playing PES 2008 was like going back to my PSP at the worst levels anyone can imagine! I don't want to sound like a fanboy, but I will have to; at this moment KONAMI is ruined, damaged with all the horrible actions that they've implemented in their new title! All these robotic runs, I seriously mean it, frekin "robotic", no life, not organic, a player who is running 30 meters away from th ball has the exact same run as a player running with the ball! I feel cold man, that was very weired!
Every shot and pass where programed, nothing is happening in a random way, nothing is being done in real life speed or physics or anything!
I must say that I didn't score any goal, which is a good deal, but with all that horrible gameplay method they are using this year I felt very disconnected from all forms of strategic football or build-up plays, I felt again that I have to just pass the ball and shoot, every single time, I didn't feel any reason to pass the ball back never! All I should do is point somewhere and the system will decide who should I pass it to, and it will reach someone 90% of the time.
That all sounds great if you are playing TAKKEN or something! but in football some advancements should be done about gameplay, just like in FIFA 08.
For the love of god, PES 2008 won best game in that gaming convention?!!!!?!?!?!?!?! Was that a joke?!?!
I can't continues anymore, I sound like an as*, but I can't sound better after hearing so much about this LAME PES 2008 then finding that it is simply pure crap.
