Yes hello it is I Kurt's Secret Son


My plans are as follows:
1. Watch Denk or NL or someone play through story mode
2. Wait a while and repeat for Southpaw Showcase
3. The end

If you’re really dying to play the bad WWE game they’re always on deep discount everywhere on Black Friday.

I think Target also does buy 2 get 1 free during the holidays, so you could buy two good games and get this one free. Either way I hope no one pays anything close to full price for this turd.

Not to mention setting their eyes to focus on something in the lower near-distance, so they're all either crosseyed and gormless or looking utterly defeated.



Weird that they kept this dude's tattoo censored, disappointing that they didn't also keep the EAT EAT from the mobile game.

My only sense of enjoyment in the 2K WWE games is obsessing over the moves list and seeing the new moves and finishers added every year, and this year has some pretty cool poo poo. But holy hell what a dumpster fire 2K20 is.

Yeah but at this point I've accepted that graphics get hosed up from one WWE2K entry to another without any real rationale to it, outside of the obvious problems of not enough time and not enough money. Why they couldn't just use whatever hair tech they had last year is just a big-ol :shrug:

The black eye over this year's isn't nearly as bad as the move to 2k17 or whichever one dropped 360 / PS3 support. And I don't know for certain but from what I can glean off twitter, the only things people like from 2K's actual flagship sports games are also the embarrassing bits (zero-effort voice acting from NBA talent, a Spike Lee-penned story mode that's weird even before you make character choices) with the gameplay dismissed as overly simulationist.

The project lead on Trespasser has basically come out and said that drat, he really needed a goddamn producer to crack the whip and keep him on track. There was a lot of wandering into the wilderness on that game...

But he's also said that all his mistakes on that game taught him lessons that were instrumental in co-creating the original Xbox, so you know, swings and roundabouts.

Yeah it sucks they have to do this, especially since now all the DLC + Game is way over $60.

But I get it, they don't have a large budget and they probably have to constantly justify to the higher-ups why they should be allowed to keep working on it. Just wish they'd use a price lower than $20 for all of the DLC packs.
