Review My initial impressions of AC13

[dhump]

I had trouble finding the END key on my laptop.. I then wanted to END my life

I decided not to change the team.

Arguably the most Horrible game ever released. I can barely stand for 5 mins. I would rather go for arrange marriage rather trying hard to adapt this pile of crap. Trickstar, you people have really tricked us to spend our cash on your Horrible Amazing Cricket game !! Bravo ........

I'm trying to understand how exactly they tricked you? There was no marketing campaign, there has been no gameplay video and no demo. The ONLY thing they showed in the build up was five low quality screenshots and a video of them editing a video. Everything that happened in the build screamed "this is going to be terrible". If you spent money simply because it's a cricket game, then you only have yourself to blame. I hope this release is a lesson to everyone that bought this game for the sake of having a new cricket game.

You are too Kind with your review matt.

Better than Miley Cyrus....

I would take miley over this...

I wonder what chief "simulated" when he shared the england and australia ashes score "from the game".

20 bucks says it was a text simulation....

Or he just made it all up....

 

[SN SREE]

a demo available in steam ?

Demo? How exactly do you propose they strip the game back any more to put it in demo form?

 

[ParkedTheBus]

Just wonder what would be going through Fegan's head this very second....

 

[AngryPixel]

Pretty much how insects go through a pile of shit. That is what his head is filled up with.

it is astonishing to consider the extent of the deception here... any talk of features being added, or in dlc, or making choices not to add certain features for design reasons etc. is just utter rubbish. clearly throughout it all they were doing was trying to get something to work...

but the amazing thing is, you don't just deliver a finished game in a vacuum. there will be plenty of milestones and deliverables throughout the lifecycle of the the project. it must have been clear to all and sundry for a long time that this game was never going to be remotely good, or remotely on time. how on earth did 505 not pull the plug ages ago?

I have watched some gameplay videos on youtube and I almost feel sorry for the people that parted with their money for this. I know I shall never buy this...game...if it can be considered that. (Games are supposed to be fun!)

Perhaps it would be best for us all to just erase it from our memories and move on with life.

Its complete rubbish on the PC. Hopefully should be better on consoles. NO HIGH HOPES THOUGH

It won't be going anywhere near a console. The console versions are worse than that, hence why they have never passed submission.

 

[Skater]

I don't think this will ever be released on consoles. The Ashes finish on 7th January at the latest, a mere 47 days to get the game on the shelves and even if they make it for then the licence will still be totally pointless as the series is over.

I'd be amazed if Trickstar ever make another cricket game. The next thing will be to see who gets the Ashes licence for the 2015 series.

The next thing will be to see who gets the Ashes licence for the 2015 series.

It's utterly worthless as a console/pc game brand now. Nobody is going to bid for it... you're better off obtaining rights to certain teams and putting a fair price in for those than a "brand name" tournament. Maybe the World Cup might be worth a nudge?
