Have to say, I was quite optimistic for Fight Forever, it's a bummer it's completely died off. I was thinking about getting it this week.

It sucks because the actual wrestling part is great, there’s just not enough game around it to play for very long.

Road to Elite was really fun, guessing what the sightseeing and cuisine would be in each town, good skits with the other talent, etc.

As many replays as it expects though, I'd have liked more cities, stories, etc

Looking forward to Satium Stampede mode5. Will probably drop the game hard again in like a week though. I really do love the gameplay but it's so dang bare bones.

FF is super fun but I basically stopped playing until we get more CAW bits. I'll try SS mode this week but I don't expect it to be something I'll play a lot. I just wan to make more CAWs (half of which I will never actually use)!

No patch notes and trying to connect to stampede mode on pc throws a network error, but now Trent? has an optional no-hair attire :mrwhite:

New attires for Jericho and Jade too, but you have to manually make a preset for them.

Are there bugfixes? Who knows!

That’s like how you have to manually make tag teams for a bunch of tag teams even though their tag team announcements, themes, and videos are already in the game and other tag teams have been pre-created.

Agreed. The wrestling part is really fun and silly for me, but the story mode is just kind of nothing. The little parts of going to each city and stuff is cute but that's not going to keep me invested. I think they might need to flesh out some other modes, like a GM-esque mode or something where you're booking shows or something to capture another style of gamer too.

I dunno. I said it before, but most wrestling games will not keep me coming back for the story mode alone. It's just never going to be that captivating. I don't know what WOULD keep me coming back to a wrestling game the way I come back to God of War, though. Stadium Stampede felt like it could do this, but if that mode stinks then that's a huge bummer. I haven't tried it yet, but maybe I'll spin it up tonight or tomorrow to see for myself.

For sure. The wrestling is great and very fighting game-esque. It's fun watching people who are good at the game play it (when they're not cheesing). The roster is just absurdly out of date and it feels like they ran out of time/money when trying to build everything else that makes a wrestling game good. I certainly won't be pre-ordering the dumb with money edition sight unseen again but I'd love having this exact same fighting engine transplanted into a more fleshed out game.

I got exactly what I wanted out of it and it’s fun to dick around in multiplayer with friends every now and then. It’s not a live service game and there isn’t much to grind so it’s not surprising that most people have moved on but I don’t need every game I play to be that.

I would love a more fleshed out story mode in the sequel though

Stadium Stampede mode does indeed work on Steam

buuuuut

It's only 1/5 players because it turns out doubling your active player count doesn't mean much when the active player count before was only 42 :v:

And yep, still no crossplay.

I would love for a more complete game to be released the first time instead of an overpriced test run that people have to buy in order to get the sequel :shrug:

i played stadium stampede twice as well. the first time, it was me and 9 other people. four of them dropped out before the round began. i was the second person out of five to lose. the second one i played, it was me and 7 other people. all of them were the same people as in the first game. this time they all left before it started, and i got the winner's cutscene as soon as it started. then the game crashed. then it said my real name and address in a weird voice.

Dog controls your destiny.

Looks like Stadium Stampede plays completely different than the actual wrestling part of the game? Is this right? I’m seeing a lot of bad running around and scoop slams. If so, wild that this new mode doesn’t have the one thing people like about this game which is the wrestling gameplay.

Like I knew there would be some catch to going from 4 characters to 30, but I figured it would be like only 4 people are allowed in an area of the arena at a time and the winner moves on or something. Not just like, it plays like a dog poo poo indie game.

Yeah it plays totally different - you have a single strong/weak punch/kick/grapple/running grappel that's determined by your character class (high flyer / balanced / power), plus whatever weapons you pick up (you can hold 5) and your finisher.

There's a whole attribute points / skill tree thing and boosts and ... yeah it's totally different to the core gameplay.

Gambit from the X-Men posted:

Facepaint. Mox and Jericho have both got a couple of new sets of ring gear, Trent? is the same as before but shaved head, haven't looked at the others. They're not there by default though - you have to manually assign them to new presets in "Modify A Wrestler". If you never read the patch notes / online you'd never know they'd been added 🤦‍♂️

I haven’t played a wrestling game in forever. Have they not just established a simple season mode where you can just play through and get random title shots and pass the events each year or something? That feels like it was there like a decade ago and the simplest way sports games are enjoyable long term. No?
