why PES5 sucks

November 21st, 2005 Posted in other games

Yes I am disappointed. After the initial enthusiasm, I can say that PES5 is not so good.
Why? easy, computer cheats.
At every level (even if I played only from 3 stars and up) the computer cheats in every manner. Some quick example:
- you shoot 10 times but their goalie makes impossible saves or you simply hit posts or miss the target. They shot 1 time and always make goal.
- they can do any kind of foul but the referee rarely whistle, while as soon as you touch them they fall on the ground.
and so on. It’s really a general sensation that the Computer Opponent has “something more” than you. Every time you play you can feel it.
Now I wonder: why do that?? they can say otherwise Computer AI is too easy. Ok well with the insane amount of money that you earn every year (PES is a top-selling serie of soccer games) INVEST in AI research instead of simply adding cheating!!! :(

Bah, going back to play Everquest 2, at leat is a game more “fair”.
