damn you guys complain about *****! i mean cmon, dont bash the game until you play it.
We haven't played it (although some have), but we can comment on the information, videos and photos released of gameplay, personal experience of people who have played the game and game features. Most of the signs from these sources have indicated that there is not much difference from Rugby Challenge 2 gameplay wise and very much looks like the same game with two new modes (the only glowingly positive thing coming out of the new features - sevens and a mode which is receiving a fair amount of criticism from those who have played it - be a pro) . Why should we not criticise something that is on the market at full retail price which doesn't show much progression from the previous iteration?
whatever if its the same as RC2, at least we got a game with decent graphics and gameplay. now we have 7's, be a pro, fully licensed Super Rugby, Currie Cup (that one sold me)... at least it isnt Rugby 15!!
Agreed, we did have a game with decent gameplay and graphics, it was called Rugby Challenge and released in 2011. Some say that RC2 was a fair step up from RC1 while others disagree. But now we are five years down the line with a third iteration of the game and not much has changed. Saying we have fully licensed Super Rugby isn't completely true (because 3 teams aren't there) but even then, those licenses could be edited into the previous games anyway. And we have also lost league licenses in the process, specifically NH supporters have lost out.
Saying at least it isn't Rugby 15 is a pretty poor bar to be setting.
so chill the f out and enjoy and last thing, be bloody thanful!
some of you carry on like ungrateful little brats!!!! DAMN!!!!
Be thankful? This game isn't free, it going out at full retail, of course we can criticise it. There have been three attempts at this game now, this time given to a small developer by Tru Blu instead of an established sports developer who do amazing things with low resources (Again, I am talking about Big Ant) they went with a developer who previously focused on mobile games and had no real big releases of note to speak of. See my previous post on here to see what Big Ant can do with niche sports game with limited budgets.
I will not simply accept that we must be grateful for something because they are the only ones doing it. I was grateful in 2011, I am not grateful now. I will be grateful when the game has improvements and is moving forward or that Tru Blu put some effort on their side, but they haven't since 2011 in my view. We are not brats for criticising their product. They have released a product on the market and we are entitled to praise and criticise it for what it is and what it has changed or not changed.
Moreover, this is a rugby forum which cares deeply about our sport. This probably the only place where people are properly engaging with the ***le and taking a look at whether it is going forward or not. If you don't want to see criticism of a game then you probably shouldn't come here. So far there have been two people who have said positive things about the game without playing it (not including you) while the responses from people who have played it have been mixed to poor. Everyone is absolutely entitled to an opinion on this game, but don't try to shut other people down by attacking them and calling them brats because they don't share your view.
