Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.

are you seeing things like 40/30 players in the pre-load lobby when this happens or is it actually numerically correct? Just asking since nL encountered that on stream but it happened when there were like 42 players out of 30 lobbied up

I wonder why the nL stream wasn't archived.

There's a chunk that's cut out and edited at the end of the Youtube one, and is probably why he took it off the Twitch entirely, because the chat broke the Bray news to Jawnny mid-game and in addition to that obviously being distressing/depressing as gently caress it also made him upset that a couple members insisted he end the stream because of it

It sucks a lot that he had to find out about this and Brodie both live on stream with friends, with Brodie it was worse because they'd actually became friends during/because of one. Like with the commentator bugging Big Show, you shouldn't feel pressured to give a live reaction to someone important to you loving dying, beyond the fact it's a tough thing to immediately process and that's enough pressure on your emotional system as is

They've started doing this with VODs they want to post to Youtube. There have been a few times in the last few weeks where I had to go to bed during a stream and it wasn't on Twitch the next day but they later posted the whole thing to Youtube.

Just out of curiosity, what's the likelihood of Bray Wyatt being the cover person (any edition) of WWE 2K24? Career mode with him would be dicey though.

I mean if I remember right the Rey Mysterio career mode was mostly matches he lost so it's not like that would be stopping them.

i think the big thing isn't so much the results as the participants. like how do you tell Bray's story while (presumably) omitting anything with Bryan, or Dean Ambrose? plus the loss of Harper, and Rowan no longer being with the company...i guess you could do a Fiend only run with a couple callbacks to the swamp era (the Mania matches probably) but at that point why are you bothering

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.
I imagine they’ll probably do Triple H showcase next year to coincide with 30th anniversary of his debut. Showcase mode is already boring as gently caress so H will fit right in.

Yeah I was going to say it'd have to be sold on his allies or opponents talking about the matches, and most of them are gone.

I’d say so. It’s about as good as the 2k games have been in a while, still a few things that bug me but you’ve got a couple of fun career modes and the mechanics have been streamlined a bit.

Having never played it, Fight Forever looks nothing like HCTP. Needs better animations, slightly faster pace, longer matches, and lose that meter system. Way too easy to finish a match quickly with randoms. It's not...epic enough.

I think Day of Reckoning 2 is the sleeper people should be aping more honestly. Good speed, a healthy medium between old Smackdown's finisher meter where you can store them and No Mercy's momentum system.

But yeah, end of the day, No Mercy is a bit sluggish. It's a good base but you need to polish the gently caress out of it.

FF with HCTP's amount of modes and customization is the ideal modern wrestling game experience for something mainstream, as WWE/AEW are too cowardly to let MDickie make their games for them and let you literally murder Roman Reigns by powerbombing him into a subway car.
