It seems the latest ones have a bunch of short succinct storylines that you enter via Twitter.

They're pretty lame, honestly. It's just, like, Miz or Carmella poo poo talk you on Twitter, you have 2 matches and get some xp.

On the other hand, I watched newlegacy play 2k22 myrise for like 4 hours and they managed to tweet themselves into two separate cuck angles (boxing out the husbands of candace larae and naomi respectively) in that time which is kinda funny

I like the one where Finn decided that he was only going to do five minute title matches in NXT.

Still reeling from how the whole premise of 2k23's story mode was about your character getting punished for not wanting to do the dogshit gimmick WWE forced on them and having to go to England so Poundland William Regal can beat it into your head that the only way to succeed in WWE is to shut up and never question their booking ever again and somehow that's the babyface path.

I dunno which one it was but the last one I saw had it set up so you weren’t allowed to beat reigns clean for the title at one point, it forced gently caress finishes and triple threats into the story lol

The latest AEW phone game is out, Rise to the Top. This appears to be a card battler like Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes or Marvel Strike Force. It also has trios matches which fight forever hasn't managed

E: it also starts with the Inner Circle facing the Elite and then you recruit alien kris stat just after. It is, i believe a silly game

Yeah. It also seems to be mostly an idler with the card battle matches as noninteractive chapter breaks. I gave it the ol college try so they can brag about first week installs but this is not the sort of derivative asset flip I want, tony

Fight Forever deserves some credit since there's the bones of a good game in there, but man have the mobile titles been the laziest crap possible thus far

the casino game and Elite GM aren't even available to download any more and I'm almost certain that Rise to the Top will eventually share the same fate

East Side Games, the firm that makes this, makes the exact same game with the following skins:

-The Office
-Archer
-Trailer Park Boys
-Star Trek: Below Decks
-Dr. Who
-The Goldbergs
-and now All Elite Wrestling

Good work if you can get it imo. At least the top 2 are usually top 25 in the IAP charts too.

I've been continuing my Empire campaign and every time I see one of the news articles about one of the company's games failing all I can think of is Fight Forever and how expensive the DLC that didn't even match up with the current version of Toni is.

Have any of the games ever successfully modeled Bayley?

KungFu Grip

she looks fine in 2k17 and 19 as well as 2k23, its just like she's older now? The hair looks the worse even though she has the same style in 2k23 and the lighting makes her look much older. it wouldnt hurt them to make her look a little young with her cheek/mouth wrinkles though

the model really isn't that bad except it's very hot dog in tone. the hairstyle is nasty since it's in four separate chunks with the back part not being visible at all at that angle. it would look less jarring if it were a better angle from slightly above but probably still look really bad

turn it all around

If you compare it to a photo of her in that getup, you can see the inspiration but they made her forehead HUGE, her skin color is off, and the hair is bad.

It also just doesn’t really look like her, but “close enough” which there shouldn’t be an excuse for at this point.

Sometimes it feels like the presumably massively underpaid/overworked artists at 2K are making the models based on the glamor shots that WWE produce, which are already terrifying nightmare caricatures of human beings so it just magnifies the horror.
