I'm not a fanboy of either game to be honest but, geez, you're COMPLAINING about EA gifting customers free DLC rather than stinging them for another full price game??? WTF??? They should be applauded for not ripping their customers off. If you want to play the World Cup, instead of spending £40 on the World Cup game, you can spend £40 on FIFA 18 and that way get to play the World Cup AND club football as well.




Stop whinging about first world problems mate. You sound like a petty little PES fanboy. Appreciate a good thing when you see it, whatever side you're loyalties lay.

Read with your eyes, dummy. Then try to think with your head. Not your ass. I assume there is a difference. DLC is just a broadcasting package with a couple extra teams. It's nothing. It's shit.

And when they rip you of is each september, when they release the same exact bullshit fut game with a different menu color scheme and you suckers run to buy it.

The ONE thing ea did right was the world cup games. They were amazing and worth the money. But now you and your bipolar buddy over there are surprised I won't buy bullshit fut 18 just for some 32-team tournament I can already play in PES? No qualifiers no teams no nothing?! Me and many others were waiting for this game 4 years so I will "whine" all I want.

Problem is, there are people who actually like to play the full qualifiers. Some, as sobakus said, with their own country, which isn't usually on a football game if it is a smaller country. That's the spirit of the World Cup: Include teams from all over the World. Or at least it should be. As I already said, I enjoyed the 2014 World Cup edition a lot. One of my favorite FIFA's.

Of course I agree with releasing free content. Paid DLC are one of the biggest issues in the gaming industry nowadays in my opinion: we pay 60$ for a game and then we have to pay more if we want the rest of it? Doesn't sound fair. But that free stuff shouldn't take away the real spirit of the world cup. Just having the 32 teams, which are already in the game anyway, seems like cheap stuff. Maybe the only new thing are the stadiums.

Also, microtransactions are another issue, and we have to think how free that content really is. FUT stuff? It's even worse than gambling. That's where they really rip off their customers, not on a World Cup game like 2010 or 2014.

I'm not a fanboy either. I like PES a lot, but I also enjoy FIFA. Both games have pros and cons.

To be fair, not all of the 32 national teams ARE in FIFA usually, and even less than that are fully licensed, so it's definitely an upgrade however you want to spin it. Of course, the mode could always be more comprehensive but personally I would rather have a 32 team world cup for free than pay £40 for ANOTHER copy of FIFA with just national teams. As for FUT, what can I say. If you're dumb enough to get sucked in by that crap then that's your problem. I disagree with those methods of making money (which Konami exploit as well) but you can always just not play those modes. Luckily I come from an era of gaming (80's) that didn't have online rubbish so I don't even take notice of that stuff.

Overall, I'm ecstatic to get the World Cup DLC for free, just as I was when Konami issued the Euro 16 DLC.

Break time is over Sobakus, back to class for you. You sound like a fucking child. :shocking:

As I said, I play both games and am also an adult with a life, so I don't suckle the tit of either EA or Konami and I certainly don't waste my time or money playing kiddy crap like FUT or MyClub.

You see, when people don't act like little children (maybe you are, I have no idea) they tend to be able to look at things objectively. Looking at this instance I can tell you that FIFA's free DLC with a couple of extra teams and broadcasting package is more than enough to portray the world cup. If you would happily pay another £40 just so you could get Papa New Guineau into the world cup through qualifying, then shit out of luck this time I'm afraid. That said, you can do that with PES if you want anyway, so why are you moaning?

Also, looking at it objectively, Konami also serve up, pretty much, the same old game (with worse menus and modes) every season and we all still lap that up as well. To try and paint EA as bad and Konami as some sort of white knight is disengenious. Both of them want you're money and that's about it. You do realise you don't HAVE to play FUT, don't you?

You're rudeness in your response just demonstrates your immaturity. You'll get over it one day I'm sure. Enjoy playing your games mate, don't concern yourself with which 'side' you feel you need to be on.

Get fuck out of here mr adult with a life from the 80s... seems like you got nothing better to do than "school" (i.e. talk senseless shit) people on the internet who have a different point of view from you.

And then you complain I am rude :laugh: watch your mouth next time. I was just explaining why ea went down toilet and why what happened with this world cup was a bust and the dlc is trash. You got all outraged (idk why as you claim not to be in love with ea) and damn nearly crapped yourself defending the dlc. Don't be rude and people probably won't be rude to you.

The dlc may do enough to portray the World Cup FINAL tournament, but they have the licence and ability to portray all international football. And after they did so for many years, this is a huge let down. Why ANOTHER 40? It's just 40 or whatever every 4 years! You all get your stupid yearly edition, but the game we get once every four years gets rejected without warning and suddenly I am a child for complaining about it?! If you are so happy with that dlc, go anticipate it and rob one out to the artwork or something, don't be a prick to those who got screwed and are rightfully pissed.

i don't care about brand loyalty or all that other consumerism nonsense and gladly use pirated content every chance I get, so idk where the hell you got all that taking sides bullshit. I like national football more than club, so this game was huge for me. I guess you never played a real world cup game, otherwise you'd know it's worth every penny. I don't give a crap about online either. All i want is to recreate the world of football. Yes, with the Papua New Guinea, not Brazil. And Luxembourg, not England. Congo vs Gabon instead of France vs Spain. And EA ruined it. So that they can get more people to buy fut 18 and get sucked into the microtransactions. Ok, so even if you don't play it why do you buy their game? What's different about 18 in comparison to 17?! Yeah, you don't have to play FUT, but fut is what ruined the rest of their game. The gameplay is alright (pes is a ltittle better), but the modes and other important things are shit! And they do nothing to change it. Did you know in NHL one can download whatever squad files they like for offline? So you can have any player you want. They could easily put that in fifa. But no. Make more than 3 save slots. But no. Get the brazilian mess sorted out. But no. Let people use the legends. But no. They stripped the game of everything cool and focused on online/fut. FIFA 2005, 09, 11 - how much cool shit was there! Now is a couple of basic game modes and that's it. And once they cut the game off the servers you can't even unlock shit. I could go on and on. That's why i am super pissed they atleast didn't make their little dlc self-sufficient. Because I will be damned if I buy their vile game again.

This is the first PES I played and it's a breath of fresh air and I am glad there is an alternative to ea. But you can't play qualifiers in PES. They have very complex structures. Plus, for example, where would I get licenced Netherlands Antilles from? All this has been explained on the fifa forums a million times, and the same goes for the world cup in the link I provided. It's all there. But you can't or don't want to wrap your head around what we are saying. You just jump to some corporation's defence (ironically calling me "fanboy" in the process). If that's not true then what are you bitching about?

You are a PIRATE?

...**gasp**...say it ain't so...

Haha, what an absolute tool eh!

Sup Tomassi,

Sobakus seems passionate about his opinions on "Consumerism".

But admitting to using pirated copies just totally negates all his arguments. :(

Please take it easy on him. There is nothing more he can say that is relevant to consumers who actually spend money on a product ...PES or Fifa.

Peace bro

Not admitting, but bragging. And how so?

Bragging? :tongue: too funny.

Technically you are complaining about a company product that you do not support as a customer (by actually buying the product.)

So you do not realllllly realllly realllly.....have anything to say about Fifa or PES "consumerism" ....since you are not one of its customers.

Ideas on the game play and stuff is ok though.

Just ideas though bro ...nothing else. :realmad:

You can see it says psn next to my name, right? How do you suppose I play the game on playstation without buying it? :hmm: What I am saying is if there was a way to do that I surely would, because i am not "loyal" to some company, like that idiot was claiming I am. Out of principle. Everywhere you turn now, you are surrounded by rich bastards trying to milk all the money they can out of you. And the mindless herds line up to hand it over. And then some of them have the audacity to critisize those who don't. That's consumerism.

And btw I bought all the world cup games since 2002, so yeah now I am complaining.
