The animations in 2K14 are loving terrible, but looking back on what is otherwise the best Smackdown game since Here Comes the Pain in 2003 and going "lipstick on a pig" is selling it a little short. I'll probably skip it because I don't want to shell out the bucks for a nextgen system, on which I'd be doing nothing but playing this game. It's nice that they finally got the model detail to the point that the UFC games were at in 2009, though. The long drought from about 2007-2012 where we got one step forward, two steps back every year seems to be over. While I am keeping my prayer vigil to some day get a PC release, does anyone have video that includes commentary? Because if that hasn't improved significantly, they can expect serious complaining in this thread!

It sounds like they hosed with the gameplay and the CAW options in a bad way, which are basically the only two things I really care about or have ever been worthwhile, so I guess I can sit on 2K14, quite honestly the best Smackdown game since 2003, for another year.

Daniel Bryan posted:Looking back on it, a lot of people seemed to be outraged that Career mode in 2K15 is too short. That's bullshit. I'm only halfway through the Smackdown tier and I am basically sick of it. I've probably put 10 hours into it. From what I understand this mode is not on lastgen systems at all which has turned out to not be a big deal.

Daniel Bryan posted:Here's the thing, the career mode in 2K15 (current gen) is actually the best once since SDvsRAW '07, which had the season mode that we came to expect at the time. I can't even remember a WWE game past HCTP with a career mode that wasn't brutally repetitive and/or filled with poo poo like "win 5 handicap matches!"

pressedbunny posted:Well yeah, I preach that myself. But I mean, how does a company pitch pre-orders to anybody when they sell the pre-order incentives later anyway? How does 2K expect to make up the important pre-order numbers for next year if everyone knows they can wait for the game to come out, check reviews, check extensive gamepay videos, see how the game is handled post release and then still get the same 'bonus' that somebody who pre-orders gets? They also routinely sell the pre-order bonus every year as DLC. Honestly it is more annoying when you can't get pre-order DLC later though.

The creation suite is actually pretty important to me, as I care very little about actual wrestlers beyond maybe five or six and make my own dudes. CPU balance in 2K14, while not perfect, is the best it's been in some years. I would actually legit call it the best WWE game since Here Comes The Pain. The WWE games usually average 8/10 every year and this year 2K15 got ravaged by reviewers. It looks like a stripped-down shitfest where only the character models improved and everything else stayed the same or atrophied, as is often the case with this series. That and everyone is waiting for a PC version down the line (which will probably never arrive) so they can just finally mod it to the nines and maybe even fix some of the poo poo that's always been wrong with these games instead of waiting for the development team to get a clue.

Basic Chunnel posted:It is in my estimation, based solely on the stability improvements. 2k14 was literally an unplayable mess, 2k15 is pretty smooth. Anything is preferable to a game that requires you to hard reset your console on the regular 2K14 does seem to have some weird issues revolving around reading memory off the console. If I don't pick my guy first when another person is over playing, the game hard locks.

There hasn't been a worthwhile story mode in a WWE game in roughly 11 years, so it's hard to get upset when it sucks or doesn't exist yet again.

Mayostard posted:Which one had the unedited Cena v.o.? Because that was pretty awful. Pretty much every one of the games where they relied on VA from the wrestlers had someone who didn't sound like themselves, sounded like they had a cold (JBL), or left in bloopers (Tazz adding in "Who writes this crap?" after a call). Of everyone I think Triple H did the best work on VA and had a storyline that was purestrain Triple H booking.

flashy_mcflash posted:Did they get rid of that? I could've sworn I had a CAW with a mostly-powerbombs moveset much more recently than that who had that Awesome Bomb as a finish. In most of the early PS2-era games (HCTP, Shut Your Mouth, and so on), the game would detect when your move was going to throw a guy off a cell. So you could do things like jackknife a guy off the cell and watch him land on his neck. (In any event, you and your friends repeatedly pushing each other off the cell was the point of HIAC matches).

Helmsley threw about thirty knee strikes and then gave Holly his facebuster finish, they haven't given it a name yet. Holly kicked out at 2 and potatoed Helmsley for another five minutes. There's definitely heat between these guys and the story is Helmsley now has two broken vertebrae and is being taken off TV. ***1/2

At least they're putting new and honestly better animated than last year moves in. It's a struggle to find convincing moves/head bumps in 2K14 and the game has a quadrillion boring-rear end clotheslines and back suplexes.

sticklefifer posted:Especially since while the beta indicated a pretty fun game, the concept is nowhere near deep enough to justify a $60 release price tag without all of the bells and whistles. Once all the DLC is out it'll make a fine $40 Steam sale purchase in about a year. Within 6-8 months of release you will probably be able to get the ultralux goldplatinum edition for $20. Never pre-order anything.

12 was not very good, 13 I skipped, 14 is probably the best WWE game in 11 years even with its flaws. And for that matter it's pretty rich to whine about the console games being bad and wonder why are we talking about them when you can watch people in this thread slowly realize that they made a mistake by getting into mobile games. I really wish the threads would split up because I and I sense several other people don't give two shits about the mobile games, but oh well.

Some of the gameplay footage I've seen made it look real clunky, though. Yeah it doesn't look real great and the price point is a little steep ($25). However, it's trying to get back toward older, more respected games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rux8uFQJy7g

2K14 is actually the best Smackdown-lineage game since probably HCTP. 2k15 is not. At least now we know they are doing PC releases so when an actual good game comes out the world will be ready.

Until 2K15 every WWE game looked identical to the 2006 release. So yes I expect a game to look not look worse than literally any other game released in the last five years.
