I dunno, I think about Blizzard and Disney fans I have known who will swallow whatever steaming load of poo poo those companies put out and ask for seconds just because they’re so married to the brand that dudes being obsessed with WWE games and unable to see or recognize their flaws don’t seem out of place at all. They’re still regurgitating propaganda because WWE knows to cater to people in social media/YouTube who have that mindset but I doubt WWE has to pay them to do it. There are plenty of people who would slober their knob in public even if they didn’t get a free game

I just assume anyone who still likes WWE or the games just has very undescerning taste. And that's totally fine, god knows I like some pure poo poo. However, they probably shouldn't be a professional critic.

This has definitely been the most virulent reaction to a WWE2k game there’s been since I got back into following wrestling in 2013 or so.

2k15 was pretty negatively received too. It was the first one for the current gen systems and it was really stripped down.

I like the commercials for the new one, though.

the whole 2k series was atrocious. like even going back to 2k13. the saving grace for them were like the custom options which are now buried under a mountain of 2k coin requirements. I don't know many people who liked them for the games I think goons went crazy with custom story lines and that was the big draw

I think they should lean into the wacky physics and story telling stuff. Just let weird kids have weird wrestling matches. Also you can't throw people into the lava. Why?

This is basically what Here Comes the Pain was and I agree they should just pull the trigger and do that. I want to give people Canadian destroyers off the Hell in a Cell and motorcycle-chokeslam people.

I absolutely loved the loose physics and less-sim like controls of the first few Smackdown games. And if anyone tells you they didn’t like German Suplexing people off the Hell in a Cell, they’re lying.

I enjoyed fannying about revolutionary Paris even if lots of the characterisations were irksome and the take on the revolution by Ubisoft was painfully liberal. loving Mirabeau can do one. I should add that my take is coloured by the fact I played it after Notre Dame burned down and Ubi gave it away for free.

I once sent a fake confession to that tumblr and someone posted it in this topic. It's been years so I don't remember what it was anymore. Anyway, I assume that a lot of people on Ringside Confessions are just trolling.

Five annoying habits of female pro wrestling fans 1. Their hair gets in the way and I can't watch pro wrestling 2. They don't like it when I sit next to them 3. They take a selfie and put a sticker over my face if I'm accidentally in the photo 4. They spend too much money on merchandise 5. They put their arms around the wrestlers when taking two shots.
