Won my first online match against a Kenny Omega. I wish there was some indicator as to what the icons mean after you win a match. What’s it mean when you get a little paper with a scribble on it? A skull with a big crack in it?

Anyway, I also ate burritos in Austin and got sassed by Fenix before getting a picture with Dustin Rhodes. Then I pinned Sting in a tag match with OC/Mox vs Sting/Tall Paul.

The scribble is a signature that goes on the loading screen images, I think it's supposed to be when you beat somebody but I've gotten them during losses too

I think the only time I’ve heard good video game commentary is one of the newer NBA 2K games and even then it’s still a little off. I just don’t know if you can ever get it quite right for any sport. Maybe baseball since it moves more slowly?

The one that jumps out to me is the Madden Memorial Game in the new Madden because that's essentially them reading an essay with occasional breakins for touchdowns and stuff. The regular generated Madden comms are... pretty ok.

MLB The Show had fantastic commentary, but last year they scrapped it wholesale because it was easier than going through ~15 years of audio and removing every mention of Cleveland's former team name. It's still pretty good but I preferred the Vasgersian crew.

I fuckin hate this layout, esp. with nascent carpal tunnel. I can’t button mash (hold direction + hold B + hit X or Y at the right time) the way I once could. Mapping run to a trigger should be an option if it isn’t already.

I played one exhibition match as Ricky Starks / Black Gollum and it definitely felt very WWE2K15

I went skimming through the music and I think one of the themes for Santana and Ortiz is in there, when people say Mikey Rukus copied the library in there they mean it.

yeah, Battle Royals/Rumbles are the only match type that are even a little fun with more than 4 wrestlers

everything else is terrible, unless a wrestling game actually bothered to put some serious design work into all the flaws of tag/multi-man matches

No wrestling game has ever really managed to get multi-man stuff right. Even Fire Pro has its weirdness in this area, CPU wrestlers can get confused about targeting pretty easy. The matches are still fun but they're a bit sloppy.

who in the hell decided you could interrupt strikes, it makes tag matches brutal. This was my biggest problem with the old engines!!

One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Thanks to whoever suggested switching the run and Irish whip buttons, it makes the game way easier to play.

I’ve sunk a bit more time into the game and the gameplay is really, really good. I’m learning how to do more moves and it’s noticeable how wrestlers have different styles. The AI seems pretty good too. I’ve seen complaints that the matches end too fast but I find they’re going about 3-6 minutes and that’s only slightly shorter than a 2K match.

There’s been a lot written about how it’s barebones and I agree that is disappointing but not unexpected. They have been open that more wrestlers/modes will be added.

The bigger disappointment is the stuff I’d expect to be in there that just isn’t. We should be able to assign stats to created stars without making them run a gauntlet, creating a move set should be much easier, the pinfall system should show a meter of how close you are to kicking out, and you should have the option to turn on reversal notices. There should also be the ability to change the rules for basic matches, like no countout or elimination in multi man matches. I hope they add a patch for things like this too and don’t just send out updates for things they can monetize.

i'm going to go on record so someone jot these opinions down:

i like the total lack of prompting/feedback on reversals and pins. imo there should be something invisible about those things because of how tied into the momentum system they need to be. like, the WWE games kill me with the quantifying it down to exact timing instead of the result of everything that's preceded it; it would be like if a fighting game let you hit a button at the right moment to avoid your HP hitting 0.

matches should be longer, tho. you gain momentum too quickly, especially with a few stats, and i always seem to go back to orange right after hitting a finisher instead of returning to the default green. that doesn't seem like something they'll change with patches, so I'll just live with it as long as I play the game.

the CAW would easily be fixed by just rolling out new content on a regular basis; clothes and faces would do wonders.

my biggest personal failing: button-mashing to grapple people who are still standing up.

that's it. that's my one serious post of the year. that's as serious as i'll get on the anonymous internet venue.

It is why I don't give a gently caress about Fight Forever only having four players, multi-man matches in WWE games are loving miserable experiences.
