As a fellow 90s fan, you might enjoy 2k13 more, as the attitude era sim was pitch perfect. But again, you'd need a console.

I recently bought WWE 13 for 4 bucks at a pawn shop because I am a dumb 90's wrestling mark. It's alright, and the Attitude Era mode is great if you're into Attitude Era stuff (you get to play the Hell in a Cell match between Undertaker and Mankind :swoon:) but the "Hit the finisher and pin within 10 seconds" objective in Attitude Era mode is a big load of drat bullshit. They always ropebreak or kick out and then the match goes on for 5 more minutes until you get another finisher and go for it again, or they lightly tap you on the head and pin you and since kicking out is a total pain in the rear end, they win and you gotta do the poo poo all over again.

I just want to unlock everything :negative:

Also, there's next to no WCW representation except for "yeah, they were beating us because they had nWo, but eventually, we kicked their rear end, vinceflex.jpg" and that's lame because I liked WCW when I was a dumb kid. At least give me the Monday Nitro arena or something.

Anyway, that's my mini-rant on dumb outdated wrestleman games, hope you liked it.

2k14 has a lot of maddening little flaws and glitches, but is a fun e-fed simulator, which is why it's so disappointing that 15 not only fixes nothing beyond the graphics but actually does less.

It's on one of the last pages, Wrestling Hero or something like that. I just found it last night. [edit: just realized that's the Rainmaker taunt, not the move]

What are the YeaOh! taunt and the Boma Ye called?

2K14 is actually the best Smackdown-lineage game since probably HCTP. 2k15 is not. At least now we know they are doing PC releases so when an actual good game comes out the world will be ready.

I really wish 2k14 had come to PC first, because even discounting the better make-a-whatever stuff, I really liked the base and DLC roster what with having so many classic guys compared to 2k15. Even if some of them didn't look that much like the actual wrestler.

Like, I can't even figure out how to rename my CAW.

The move list is amusing.

my signature moves are cattle mutilation and burning hammer and my finisher is the psycho driver.

I don't mind the game, the gameplay takes some getting used to but after a little bit it clicks, but it sure is frustrating up to that point.

I'm on the fence about getting this for the PC. I love, love, LOVE making me and all my dumb mates and setting up a federation and having the game sim a year or two and seeing where everyone is at the end. Seeing the feuds and the alliances and all that good stuff.

But if the CAW system is a bit naff I might wait until the modders have unlocked its true potential. If I can't have stupid hair and a weird mask then what's the point?

Also how is the Universe mode? Is that at least better than the previous years? Have they finally implimented random story lines at least?

Hyper NG64 is almost completely unemulated at this point, sadly. Buriki One looks pretty fun, and it's a game where the Ken and Ryu are Sakuraba and Gracie (and instead of Zangief, you get Karelin and Goldberg[with some sort of nWo Goldust alternate outfit]) (also the Goldberg guy is Dutch because of course the big brute forcer in a '90s JMMA game would be Dutch)

I don't even know what the hell was up with that Giant Baba thing in GG2k, it had Giant Baba's model, the anime Tiger Mask's moveset, and Misawa's super move. And it was a translucent yellow guy with a computer in his thoracic cavity. I'm not even sure where the Super Brody thing came from but it was hilarious.

Just going back to Buriki One and Giant Gram 2000 talk. You can actually play as the main character (Gai Tendou) and boss (Silver) from Buriki One in King of Fighters XI and both are pretty fun to play as. Also, SNK in the 90s seemed to have a thing about Dutch wrestlers. The boss in the SNK wrestling game 3 Count Bout, Master Barnes was also Dutch. That game was fun, but you had to mash buttons so much to pull off moves and not be overwhelmed by the computer.

The translucent guy in Giant Gram 2000, was called Hyper. There were two Tigers in the game. The one that had a literal tiger mask had some ridiculous moves (mainly the Kinnikuman ones). If you teamed him with Hyper, their two vs two super was the Muscle Docking.

The best thing about the Dreamcast version of that game was the create a wrestler mode. You started off with a bare minimum moveset (punch, body slam, elbow drop, etc), and would pick opponents to train against in short bouts. When they did moves on you, you could learn them and then be able to do them in your next bout. In addition to this, you could level the moves up, to strengthen them, so learning the brainbuster and getting it to level 30 would unlock the ability to change it into a sheer drop brainbuster, and then levelling the sheer drop brainbuster to level 30 unlocks the Steiner Screwdriver. You could also combine moves to make stronger ones, like combining the Argentine Backbreaker with the Orange Crush to make the Burning Hammer. It could be irritating to unlock all the moves, but if you got the Giant Gram 2.1 (Tiger's Burning Special), it was worth it.

I remember 3 Count Bout. I couldn't even beat the first guy. I barely even got anything on him.

The CAW for 2k15 is so, so bad, and if I had known just how bad I may not even have bothered. I know there's the potential for mods and poo poo, but even on just the most basic level it's fundamentally hamstrung in ways that surprised me. I know it's probably too much to expect to be able to make the sort of hosed up monstrosities I did back in whatever Smackdown game it was my roommate owned years ago, but the body morphing sliders are pathetic and all of the faces end up looking too similar as well.

So far I've had fun making myself as a CAW, then going into WWE Universe mode and squashing Ziggler for the IC belt. Last wrestlegame I played was a Smackdown on PS2, whereas I sorta did the same things.

If a CAW system can make me play out my adult childhood fantasy, it is a good CAW system.
