It's so bizarre how even their video game campaigns drill into your fictional character's head that "whatever you did before WWE doesn't matter, we're the best, it's a different story here, nowhere else matters, even my several years in Japan don't matter, you're in for a wake-up call here in the big leagues, kid!" And that's just the Performance Center.

The 2k story mode cinematic universe is an absolute nightmare world look into the psyche of how WWE fans view the wrestling business

The best storymodes were like No Mercy, Shut Your Mouth and Here Comes the Pain. You are a wrestler and these are your storylines. When they get meta with it, it breaks down because it's like it's a performance but actually this match is real.

I watched the NL 2k22 career mode part one and in the fourish hours they are actually "in wwe" as opposed to chargen/performance center tutorial there were two (2) separate cuck storylines lol

That's nice of the games to have them less often than the real WWE does.

Which one was the one where they played as Kane and basically every single storyline in the game was the player character feuding with someone over who owns various women?

That was WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2006, the RAW side.

Though honestly the original Smackdown vs Raw was mostly about that as well.

I have it but I'll probably never play it. Not even to unlock stuff. I just want to make characters and watch em fight.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

Let me know your thoughts. 2k19 was mostly enjoyable for me but when I tried 2k22 I struggled with the new controls for some reason, reversals in particular

You can't make a double title match with one wrestler having both belts and defending both against someone.

You can have a double title match but it's always champion vs champion,so WWE champion Bret Hart vs WCW champion Sting, etc.
Disappointed.

Atleast everyone actually has a double title entrance if they actually hold two belts, from what I,personally, have checked out so far.

Any career mode where you can’t create the timeless Chocolate Drop bit is a career mode not worth playing.

At least they were able to do it by turning entrances off, which means the problem of entrances and online not playing nice together still exists :v:

Same. It's how my gaming group decides what we're going to eat. Steam says I have 133 hours of play time on WWE 2k22 and I think the only time I've ever actually played was on the day I got it.

2k23 is good and wayyyyyy less glitchy than 2k22, better QOL in a lot of other areas. i didnt pay for it but i think its worth $40. (i do not believe any yearly game to be worth full price.)

The story mode seems to be for women you are the niece of a vet who was big during the 02' era and the man side is you are the next big prospect. I'm doing the legacy one so far. I've only played the tutorial and made my character so far. The dialogue is as stilted as ever but it did feel fun to play and I spent a lot of time on my character. I made her 6'5 and she towers over everyone else in the scene but they all just look at where her eye level would be if she was like 5'7. Honestly so far so good. Tonight I plan to hopefully get super into the moves set up and the entrance set up.
