FIFA 22 Legacy Edition (Switch) Review - IGN

Another year. Another cynical money grab.

2/10 would imply the game doesn't even work, lol.

Does it? To me anything between 1-3 just means that functioning is literally all that it does, which is a fair assessment for a total scam like these "legacy" editions.

I like to work from the angle that 5/10 is the starting point and you add/subtract points based on the games merits, so 2/10 is a fitting score for this imo.

Neonridr1313d ago

I would simply just think that a 2/10 would suffer from incredible technical problems to the point where the game is unplayable. Not because EA just updates the roster and slaps a new year on the package. Technically the game fully functions as it should. It's just a scam because they are a shitty company when it comes to this stuff.

A lot of people crapped on DNF but the game worked, the problem was that it didn't feel much different to say Doom 3 which released in 2004. The only issue i had with it is that some graphics looked a bit patchy like shadows, and the AI was kinda screwy in places, otherwise somewhat enjoyable for the time.

The difference here is that the games are purposely watered down with no effort, pure laziness on EA's part, pretty sure i read that even the first version could've had better graphics but they didn't bother updating them and still not even for this one.

I’m tired of this misconception about review scores that suggests a low score has to mean the game is broken/unplayable. Can’t a game just be really bad and get a low score?

EmperorDalek1312d ago

If a game outright doesn't work, it should get 0/10. Why would it deserve points for simply existing?

LordoftheCritics1312d ago

Uninstalling is a kind of game.

Neonridr1312d ago

points for effort? lol, you got me there.

The most fitting type of games for Season Passes would be sports games - but instead you get full price bare minimum efforts like this glorified roster change of a game.

WPX1312d ago

I you ask me, that's 2 points more than it deserves.

And you couldn’t review F.I.S.T. Forged in Shadow Torch, and absolute fantastic title?

Good, it deserves these crap scores each year. EA doesn't even change the Switch version each year. It literally says it on their website: “FIFA 22 Legacy Edition will feature the same gameplay innovation from FIFA 21 without any new development or significant enhancements.”

They've used that disclaimer the past couple years too. If you buy FIFA 22 Legacy Edition on Switch you are basically buying FIFA 19. Don't buy this crap, do not give EA money.

Anyway soccer alwais deserve 2/10 even when watching it live

RaidenBlack1312d ago

Good try ... I'd give 1.5/10 for the effort
