DBC 17 - The Complete Review! Please Answer the Poll!

[Snowy]

Even the grounds and crowds?

Yes

@SnowyCasanova - I am no expert on graphics, so what you are saying may be right. My observation that it has PS3 level graphics is based on general consensus and the fact that I cannot see much difference between DBC 14 (which was a PS3 game) and DBC 17 in terms of graphics (significant number of people have even termed the graphics worse than DBC 14).

It's largely subjective. While I disagree it looks like a PS3 game, the graphics don't dictate my enjoyment all that much. I don't expect a graphical masterpiece, nor do I expect a PS3 level experience. I'm delivered neither - my assessment is that it looks good enough for me.

@SnowyCasanova I share similar sentiment...please read my take on graphics.....highlighted is my final say on graphics and its importance....as posted in the review.

The graphics are similar to an early PS3 game and appears to run at an acceptable frame rate. It appears that there is a slight improvement in graphics (especially the grass) as opposed to DBC 14, but definitely not one would expect for a game released almost 3 years after its predecessor. Graphics in my opinion is definitely not a deal breaker and can be palated if core game play issues were to be fixed.

Yes, I read that and we're in agreement with that general idea that it's not a deal breaker or maker. Just personally think 'early PS3' game is way off the mark, and gameplay doesn't personally impact my assessment/acceptance of graphic quality.

I feel that gameplay and graphics go hand in hand:

If the graphics are amazing and the gameplay is bad....it makes a bad game.

If the graphics are mediocre and the gameplay is bad....it makes a very, very bad game.

If the graphics are mediocre and the gameplay is good....it makes a good game....what I was hinting at and hoping for.

If the graphics are amazing and the gameplay is also good....it makes an outstanding game....such as NBK 17 and Fifa 17.

Just checked and Bigant have deleted my review from their forum. Wow, speak about taking feedback given as prescribed....sans emotion, structured, logical and with practical expectations.

Couple this with the fact that there has been no acknowledgement/response on this site either (although Ross was online a couple of hours ago), and I don't have much hope for solutions from BugAnt anymore.

 

[Snowy]

There has been a response. They can't reasonably be expected to respond to or acknowledge every post.

Seriously. Please quote their response where they have acknowledged all these issues.

If memory serves right...I remember Ross saying that these issues were being experienced only by a minority and it was largely due to the absence of the day one patch....he never actually accepted these issues.

Secondly, why have they deleted a well written and honest review from their website??

FIFA 17's gameplay is bad and graphics are good. By your metric that makes a bad game.

The same review (in opening post) which I had also posted on the Bigant forums. Looks like they deleted it and reinstated it after reading my post here....the plot thickens [DOUBLEPOST=1482217782][/DOUBLEPOST]

Yeah...the shoot button is not working on Fifa 17, and when I try a goal kick the goalie is firing it into his own net...oh and wait my players are diving around like kangaroos, and mama mia the game crashed on me thrice today.

Did you use the title that you originally had? Maybe you just thought it was deleted?

EA have released some crash prone games in the past. The quality of FIFA games has been going backwards for years though, they do the bare minimum to get people to buy a new copy and buy FIFA points these days. I really hope that's not the standards that Big Ant are trying to emulate.

A keeper firing it into his own net from a goal kick would be a retake by the way.

Yes of course! It would be a travesty if DBC ever becomes as pathetic as Fifa 17. I would pray that I never live to see the day. Thanks for enlightenment...you are but divine being. Aren't you Sir Albert?

The name is Alberts, not Sir Albert. I'm not a monarchist.

Most of the gameplay issues you're describing is the kind of thing I'd expect from EA. No need for the sarcasm.
