How can you call yourself a pes fan atall if your willing to wait till 2011? People hate pes 2008 and are getting annoyed but jesus, not getting the game is way too far. Pes is the only game ever release for me that i will get no matter what i see. Its just a given that you buy pes. Every real pes fan will agree and i cant still get over how bad people thought pes 2008 was. It wasnt great and took stuff out of pes 6 but it was still a good enough game to play solidly for a month or 2 and then on and off after that.
PES08 was a waste of Time and Money, I have nothing else to say about it.
And if PES09 is going to be as arcadey as PES08 -then- I prefer to wait on for another year -rather- than try to like an embarrassing excuse of a game.
Anyways, if PES09 is bad -then- I will no doubt play PES6 every now and then. But I'm pretty sure I won't be buying PES08 for a 2nd time.
And as for being a PES Fan?? I don't think of myself as a PES Fan.. I'm just a customer who will buy the best Football Sim around. In the PS2, the best Football Sim was Konami's PES. One of the few video game series that I can play time and time again.
That said, I do have sympathy towards Konami and PES -but- not enough to keep buying the same shit year after year.
The PES series is seriously OUTDATED, it needs a complete Overhaul, it needs to be significantly UPDATED.. fans are paying good money for a Next Gen Football Sim -and- Konami should deliver. It's that simple.
Bottom Line here is that fans are buying the series year after year -and- every year, the fans always ask for improvements -and- every year Konami ends up releasing a touched-up version of the previous installment.
Maybe that works for some time, maybe the "don't fix it if it ain't broke" attitude works for some time -but- certainly after 5 years it gets Old. I just think that buying the same game for the 5th consecutive year is a bit foolish.
And when it's all said and done, the PS3 (360) versions of PES should be twice as good as the PS2 versions. So until now the question remains, Why where the PS2 versions better than PES08?? Maybe it was a rushed effort from Konami.. But they are out of excuses for PES 2009.
