I appreciate that for Ruby Soho, Rukus follows in the grand tradition of wrestling themes that are juuuust legally distinct enough to not be sued for.

Man if I could the WCW themes I would love that. Just let Rukus go wild with his versions of songs lol. To this day I like Raven's song more than Come as you are.

I wonder if he wrote the Ruby one for the game or if it was a backup in case the dude from Rancid didn't come through for her?

Also they are doing that poo poo because video games are an impossible industry and the economics of selling them make no sense so the only way to produce games and make money is by adding a bunch of stuff that you can sell. Games are not viable as a product you sell once and then never make another dollar from.

I admit I usually mostly play small market games like Rune Factory 5 and some JRPGs and so forth (though for sure Forza Horizon 5 has the same issues as Fight Forever and is also the last "AAA" title I've bought) but I feel like the new games I've personally bought this year have mostly been just a thing i bought once and then it just exists.

I also don't think tony invented dlc but I do have an expectation of excellence from him based on everything else that he's done that shipping with no trios and everyone I personally like missing seems notable idk

Rune Factory 5 has a bunch of optional costumes you can buy, most of those jrpgs do now. Buy the game and it has 50 dollars worth of costume dlc you can also buy. Everyone is pushing to figure out ways to make the game a product that you can sell over and over again.

Less than $20 on my switch right now but point taken, yes. Nightmare world!

Also I'd gladly pay extra for people I wanted to play as with unique movesets like Claudio or the Pure Division guys like Garcia and Yuta (both debuted before the apparent Swerve Line) but at the moment if I'm reading things correctly that doesn't appear possible, so who knows!

Question for those who have the game/may be more plugged in.

Does the career mode change based on if you're a heel or a face or is it pretty similar/alignment agnostic? I guess I'm not sure how much "roleplaying" you get to do vs just scene match scene match like the older games it emulates.

Being upset about DLC probably seems silly to most people here especially when you compare it to the competition charging double the price of the base game at launch. And I'm not even sure if that gets you everything.

Out of curiosity, I went and looked up who you get for that season pass money and it's the following 25 wrestlers:


quote:

DLC 1: Steiner Row Pack
Scott Steiner
Rick Steiner
B-Fab
Top Dolla
Ashante Adonis

DLC 2: Pretty Sweet Pack
Karl Anderson
Luke Gallows
Tiffany Stratton
Elton Prince
Kit Wilson

DLC 3: Race to NXT Pack
Harley Race
Ivy Nile
Wendy Choo
Tony D’Angelo
Trick Williams

DLC 4: Revel with Wyatt Pack
Bray Wyatt
Zeus
Valhalla
Joe Gacy
Blair Davenport

DLC 5: Bad News U Pack
Eve Torres
Wade Barrett
Damon Kemp
Andre Chase
Nathan Frazer

Which, not a lot of those names with the exception of Bray and maybe Race are singing to me personally, I also am not seeing any names that I would consider as core/required/whatever as FTR, Claudio, Keith Lee are to fight forever, presumably because they're just on disk in 2K's famously large roster

I probably won’t be able to sit down and play the game until after I’ve watched dynamite tonight (it is Wednesday!). How are the tag matches?

Yeah, there don't seem to be a lot of must haves in that list for 2k23 but 2k22 had the NWO and Eric Bischoff gated behind the $120 version. You could buy the NWO DLC separately for $25 but then you would also have to buy the season pass for $40 if you wanted all of the other wrestlers.

I’m 15 minutes deep into a World Championship match, and I’m about to pull my hair out.

Champion MJF is defending his belt against me, “The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson, and I want to finish the match with the Lebell Lock. However, using this iconic submission maneuver requires you to have a Finisher stored while standing above a face-down opponent, and I just cannot get the stars to align. After several attempts, I finally trigger the move, only for MJF to counter it and slither outside the ring.

I was playing Faction Wars in 2k23 last night and had my finishers countered/dodged no less than three times. That was annoying. The match before that my opponent had The Rock on their team and he immediately started arguing with the ref and I got a DQ victory in like 10 seconds. That ruled.

Has anyone figured out how to reposition opponents? The Crossrhodes is a facing the enemy’s back move and outside of walking all the way around them I haven’t figured it out.

His front finisher is a Tiger Driver which is cool though.

The Elite Edition is also supposed to be on sale for PC for $63.19 on 2game tomorrow. They are a licensed key retailer so they get the keys directly from the publisher. That will get you the season pass and Matt Hardy.

Fueled by Satan

From the footage I've seen so far I think the biggest bummer is going to be the the roster just clearly being a snapshot of 2 years ago AEW and not really reflecting on current day AEW. It's easy to imagine a version of this where Don Callis is in the place of Regal and the game has a more current roster that feels like AEW today. Some of the models are also not great, but it also looks like some of the images in the character selection and models in the main menu look completely different from the models during a match. Like Nick Jackson's portrait in the character select is really bad but the model in match looks a whole lot better.
