Did HCTP have the climbable Smackdown fist and the hilarious rag doll bounce when someone came off a ladder wrong? Because if so you are correct.

I miss people falling off ladders,bouncing around on the ground then jumping back but like 5 seconds later.

The only thing I hated about HCTP was that the ridiculous bounce sell from falling off high places always landed guys face down so you couldn't follow up with a dive that would actually connect.

What are you looking at?
I wouldn't have as big a problem with the golf swing meter if it wasn't for the fact that the sweet spot for a kickout is hilariously small, especially in matches where I've been beating someone with weapons for half an hour while they've only gotten in a few reversals. Shouldn't it be bigger depending on how "fresh" or undamaged you are?

This loving game... so glad I am renting it from the library and didn't buy it, and that the Switch version was delayed to avoid an impulse buy.

I was Lesnar vs Samoa Joe. I hit 15 germans, 5 F5's (one through the announcers table), he kicks out of every single loving one of them. Joe doesn't get a single finisher on me until he gets the coquina clutch, and my bar is like 1/3 of the meter and he gets me to tap instantly. What a piece of poo poo game, I just don't understand it.

the first world was a mistake

My brother got the game, so I played a bit of it a few weeks ago. As someone who enjoys beating the gently caress out of people and doing dumb poo poo much more than a million reversals/kickouts in lieu of an "epic" virtual wrestling match, I wasn't too thrilled.

At least the ref's counts are slightly better than last year.

I don't have this years version, but there should be sliders in the options somewhere to adjust things like finisher strength, reversal rate, etc...

I do not advocate your purchasing of the game you do not like. the tutorial is just better in the game that is full of diagonal motion

If you are bad at something and wish to become better at it, then it may be wise to pursue it. If something does not click and you do not care, why spend dollars on it? or fictional dollars.

I mean it legitimately does look like it'd be fun as hell if I put in the time to learn it and/or had resources that got me started in the right direction, and it has a lot more cool poo poo in it than most other wrestling games. The basic mechanics are just totally loving inscrutable to me as a masher trying to figure out Returns from GameFAQs guides.

The team I ended up on is full right now, but they're not bad. Though it feels like pulling teeth trying to get the leaders to start a TBG for some reason.

Honestly though, I think I'm finally done with the game. I'd probably have quit already, but the Beast tier reward for RTG was the same as my freebie.

I've put multiple CDs worth of music on my Windows partition just to use as entrance themes and am considering using Audacity to clip a couple to make better entrances. I've also gotten used to Paint.net and online text generators to do ring textures. I've got it BAD.

Like where it really hits the sweet spot is just how fast it is. Doing a single show in 2k14 on Universe mode takes at least an hour between editing matches, running the matches, the inevitable times it crashes my 360, etc. That FPW is both faster AND a better simulation of how wrestling matches go is just remarkable. I miss some of the spectacle but that's about it.

I may have to create a separate Gruesome Fighting promotion to move off some of the characters, both downloads and in-game- like the fighters built for MMA seem to have an advantage. Maybe it's the logic pushing them to repeat reliable moves more.

Pro Wrestler edits tend to have low defenses against the MMA moves, which are also tuned to do an assload of Spirit damage to make flash submissions a thing in Gruesome fights. Also, the MMA-centric fight styles make the edits block Irish whips a lot, counter pro wrestling moves into MMA moves, and generally be enormous dicks. It's generally recommended to keep wrestlers and MMA fighters separate unless you're making then yourself and really know what you're doing.

So, Firepro just got a mod that lets you change the camera angle in-game. I know there were PAR codes for stuff like that in D, Z, and Returns, but nothing that gives you the ability to switch between angles on the fly.

I can see this being pretty useful if you're wanting to make videos or stream the game!

if you're talking about the Deandra Reynolds from that pack that has the whole Always Sunny cast, holy gently caress yes she's bizarrely overpowered

I put her in a 1v1 with loving Cro Cop and she whooped his rear end

e: I actually really need to see what their point totals are and maybe tweak them a touch, the Birds of War always seem to wreck in any trios match I put them in

See the Birds I haven't had a problem with (though I don't use them a lot.) But yeah in addition to the MMA build Dee's point total is pretty high.

Presumably that'll be when the full game is done (since there's no "Early Access" equivalent for the PSN). So, yeah, maybe Spring 2018 seems like the safest bet.

Apparently WWE 2k18 for Switch does exist as some copies already made it to stores and accidentally got obtained. Of course, you can't connect to any server to download the required 24GB patch of additional content. So the game is missing modes and even shadows without the patch. Could be the best game for glitches yet.
