In the days of offline multiplayer there was nothing more important or more competitive than PES. It was the dinnertime game, it was the 'just one more match' game and was the cause of many arguments between friends. What has happened to that? Of course most games now are online with local multiplayer always given short thrift with the amount of split screen games now in single figures. PES should have been able to conquer the world of online easily and yet they didnt, and it's because of lag. The early online PES matches were an absolute mess and in all honesty, the game still isnt much better. This is 2015 and no matter what service you play the game on, whether Xbox or Playstation, the internet service is charged for. Lag shouldnt be accepted or even seen (unless on rare unavoidable situations) and PES is jam-packed full of lag, disconnections and random bugs that force you to quit and lose points. For an immersive online experience, that simply cannot continue.
What's to tell people?
I am a middle aged Yorkshireman obsessed with Bad Religion, The Simpsons, movies and anything to do with gaming. I love everything to do with Final Fantasy, Metal Gear and will hold a discussion with anyone about anything in games.
