El Generico posted:I know it's because I'm not watching so these people mean very little to me now, but does WWE's roster not seem anemic now? Roman Reigns is the one star, and of course there's this aura of failure he has from them wanting him to be as big as John Cena and he's just not. How do they keep up the brand split like this? Easy! They just have the same 12 people wrestle the same exact matches every single week for 6 straight months.

When I see the AEW game I always feel like it's missing some lighting effects that'll really make the style pop and that's something I assume will happen later on. It certainly seems development is moving slow, but I guess to be fair Yukes had just barely started working on building a new game engine from scratch when AEW came to them to make a deal so there's probably a LOT of backend work that's had to be done the past couple years.

The ones where it'd go into super-slowmo when you hit a finisher were great. Honestly the thing that killed the 2K games for me, beyond being broken and unfinished, was the obsession with Realism sucking all the fun out of the games. Just make the drat game fun and that'll get you like 80% of the way there.

I mean it doesn't really take the Geek Squad to figure out if you dropped a whole-rear end computer off a desk it probably broke something inside. (for real though it likely did knock something loose or possibly broke something so be ready to replace some poo poo)

I mean I was kinda joking before but genuinely at the rate people are leaving WWE or getting released from WWE they're gonna have the smallest roster ever by the time 2k22 comes out, there's gonna be no point in a GM Mode when you've got like 10 people to choose from. I guess that'd at least make it accurate to the real life show where they just book the same 10 people every week then.

Davros1 posted:I did the same thing with my CAWs in WWE games, to the point I was wishing the Smackdown games were like the AKI games and you could completely edit the look and attires of the in-game wrestlers. This game has 6 Daniel Bryans? Let me edit 5 of them into original characters. I'm never going to play as Velveteen Dream or Lars Sullivan, let me edit them into characters I would play as. That just reminded me of how the 2K games made alternate attires for existing wrestlers take up CAW slots so why would you ever do it. All the weird artificial limitations they put on how much custom content you could have was so frustrating even in the Good games.

Also having hard limits on custom images which is separate from the file size limitation, which leads to scenarios where you can have plenty storage space but WHOOPS can't download a new CAW cause whoever made the last one you downloaded decided they had to make each nipple its own custom image and that put you at the completely arbitrary 1,000 image limit.

If you set your CAW size less than 6'2" and 240 pounds the game deletes it immediately.

GM Mode 2k22 is you playing John Laurinaitis and it's just you scrolling through porn at your work computer every day and every couple weeks or so there's a minigame where you send layoff texts to a dozen or so wrestlers.

GM Mode also includes a diplomacy minigame where you have to go to FOX executives and come up with a list of excuses for why the ratings are dogshit and also why you keep firing all the talent they want.

IGgy IGsen posted:That sad thing is that Fire Promoter still isn't very great. I was hyped for it but then I stopped playing it after a couple shows. It was mainly just making matches and sometimes you'd have enough money to sign more people, and you could buy new Scripts for storylines which made the whole thing a bit weird kayfabe-wise. Also whatever fun it could have been was hampered by the fact that the WWE roster was depressingly thin at this time so you were basically just booking John Cena vs Randy Orton every week. Though I guess that's pretty accurate to WWE at the time.

IGgy IGsen posted:It was pretty fun but I don't think we played more than one session of it because we had this great idea that we'd watch all the matches which really dragged it out. I don't think there's ever been a wrestling game where watching CPU matches is any fun, with the exception of maaaybe Fire Pro? WWE games' CPU matches always either drag on forever cause they just spam finishers and reversals nonstop, or they somehow end in 30 seconds to a random pinfall, or the AI bugs out and they just stand at ringside throwing each other into the ring steps repeatedly while they get counted out.

I started a Fire Promoter save recently and so far the most unstoppable monster I've encountered is Def Jam's Fat Joe. He just goes into every match and spams Pedigrees and Bear Hugs until his opponents backs are broken.

This new GM Mode's gonna have the exact same problem as the old one: the roster's gonna be so thin by the time it comes out you'll basically just have to run John Cena vs Randy Orton every single show until the heat death of the universe. Which, to be fair, was at least accurate to the WWE product at the time.

Honestly I don't think I would really miss having so many different kinds of grapples. Every character in WWE 2K games has like 900 different move slots you have to fill and most of them you never see because the AI just spams the same dozen attacks over and over and you're never gonna remember the exact inputs for all of those moves anyway. If it makes character creation take less than 9 hours I'm for it.

My Fire Pro CAW strategy, for PC at least, is just to go download all the Avenger3 collections in the steam workshop cause that person's caws are all decently good and covers pretty much the whole roster of every notable promotion you might want.

My prediction is the AEW game will be Fine or even Good but people will have built up so many expectations for what they want it to be that it'll never live up to them. Like people who get this game expecting it to have like GM Mode and Universe Mode and Season Mode and every single mode/match type/feature that all the 2K games ever had'll probably be disappointed cause this is a brand new game made on a brand new engine and there's no way it'll be as feature complete as the 2K games where Yukes could just keep adding new stuff over the same base game year after year.

Dacap posted:#2 is a great one that I’d like. I hate in a 2k game when they just make moves alphabetical but you have to already know or guess what they’ll call them. I shouldn’t have to scroll down to “s” because they decided to call the specific powerbomb I wanted a “snap release powerbomb”. Standard moves with lots of variations should open up a drop down with options. Oh yeah that's the worst part. Especially when there's like, one specific Powerbomb/Driver/whatever you want but since it's someone in WWE's signature/finisher it doesn't say Powerbomb in the name so you have to go through every animation in the game to find it. 2K does have a few tabs like Bombs/Drops/whatever but they don't include everything and there's no other layers of filtering so like, if you want a Powerbomb that targets the Head you can EITHER see all the Bombs OR all the moves that target the Head. Either way you have to browse through a shitton of moves that aren't what you want at all. What I want is like a nested menu. You click Powerbomb and here's every Powerbomb in the game, regardless of what their name is. Then you can click another button to show only the Finishers, or only the ones that are Pin Combos, or only ones that target the Head, or all of the above. Just anything other than "here's 20,000 moves in alphabetical order, have fun!"

It really is amazing that MDickie got a wrestling game where you can have 100 people in a match with an arena filled to the ceiling with burning tables and explosions and it runs 500 times better on the Switch than the one attempt 2K made to port a WWE game to it

DLC Inc posted:the nL video for "how fast can we bankrupt our fed" made me choke with laughter: Offering Scott Steiner a "nepotism" contract and then firing Rick right away. Seeing Roman Reigns interrupt a match with a glock. Edge developing disassociative identity disorder wherein he kept referring to himself in the 3rd person as being afraid after every match. D'lo Brown's manager adventures. The booking manager mode just makes some wrestlers go loving insane with no reasons and it's amazing. My favorite part was since they were playing as JR they decided to roleplay and had him sign Dr Death Steve Williams for the maximum amount of money the game allows which meant any time they booked him it would instantly bankrupt the company
