Any Pro-Wrestling Fans Around?

That just seems like backwards progress. There's so many memorable feuds and stories in WWE, that it seems foolish to cut it.

 

Oh,and I just thought of another thing I want.

 

1. The ability to have the same wrestler in a match. It would be absolutely hilarious to watch 6 Hogans battling each other. 

 

 

1. I liked the Showcases because I got to learn about WWE's history so, it is pretty lame we couldn't get it this year.

 

Especially, since Brock Lesnar's the cover athlete which means we could've gotten Eddie Guerrero and Kurt Angle. 

 

2. *Jim Ross Voice*

 

"Six Hogan's enter, no one leaves because, they're all too busy arguing about which one is going over."

Yeah, same here. Plus, I found it rather entertaining to complete objectives and recreate historic moments.

Only other enjoyment I got out of 2k15.

I preferred those, too.

 

Mostly, because WWE has a habit of creating terrible "original storylines" for their games

 

like SVR 07 where Trish Stratus won the WWE Championship by winning a Triple Threat Match!? 

 

Trish's my favorite wrestler EVER but, still it was pretty ridiculous.

Day of Reckoning 2's was pretty good. But, it lacked substance and variety. 

Plus, how in the hell did I get Stacy Keibler as my girlfriend!?

I don't remember the story mode.

Luck?   

[Ruddboy Olaf 10,628]

Luck?   

Maybe, it's cause I haven't played the first Day of Reckoning, but I just find it strange that my original character is dating Stacy Keibler.

 

And it's not like they explain how it happened. They just throw you into it. Literally, the second cutscene is of you kissing Stacy.

That's WWE/WWE Games logic for you.

The WWE 2K15 Roster.

 

Okay, so the characters that have two are Randy Orton, Batista, CM Punk, Kane, Daniel Bryan, Alberto Del Rio, and Jericho.

But, no Big Show with hair? No American Badass Undertaker?

 

What were they thinking?

Well, they needed to save something for WWE 2k16's roster.

Damn, I need to get that game. Only thing I don't like about it is the physics. I watched a video on the finishers, and not even the finishers sound or look that enjoyable. I know that it's more realistic, but the satisfaction isn't there. 

 

Just compare this to this or this. You'll see what I mean.

WWE 2k17 comes out in a few weeks.

 

Here's the roster for that, minus DLC.

Looks pretty pathetic compared to 2k16. 

 

Oh, and this really makes me want to play HTCP again. Too bad it's too scratched and won't read.

I agree with you about finishers, btw.

 

Ever since they started motion capturing everything the moves haven't looked nearly as impactful or effective. 

 

Like "The Peoples Elbow", for example.

Any of the piledrivers. You can see that their head doesn't hit the mat. What kind of bullshit is that? I wanna see my opponent's head crash into the floor.

I also hate how they don't tell the people who are mocapping to SELL THE MOVES!  :=:

 

I swear, it's like they go out of their way to make them look like they do NO DAMAGE, whatsoever.

Exactly. For a game that's trying to be realistic, you'd think they'd sell better. Since, that's what superstars are supposed to do best.

They failed at their main goal. Now that is some shit.

 

At this point, they'd be better off going back to PS2 or Gamecube graphics and cartoony physics. Cause, I honestly think that they look better and more accurate.

Brock Lesnar's move set in ANY of those games was EPIC.

 

I watched some of those DOR and WrestleMania XIX finisher videos  & that made me  wish they'd add in finishers from multiple positions into future games, too.

I also kind of miss the collision issue. Being able to knock down multiple wrestlers with a grapple or strike was rather funny at times. As long as they don't make the AI like Day of Reckoning 2, where if you use your finisher, you can guarantee the computer will come to break it up. I'd like to see it make a return.

That would be both useful and frustrating.

 

Useful if I was winning & frustrating if I was trying to win but, I kept getting my moves broken up by other wrestlers moves.

Wrestlemania XIX's AI would usually just stand there and let you perform the finisher. Sometimes, they would even stand in front of you and get hit by the move.

The AI in that game were morons. But, they were funny morons. On Expert, they would taunt constantly even after just activating their special. Most of the time, they didn't even use their special. They have opportunities to use them, but then they just end up doing a normal move like a headlock takedown or a suplex.

Speaking of the AI never using finishers, 

 

WWE 2K16 is the first wrestling game I've played where they actually weaken me enough to not only use their finisher on me but, defeat me as well.

 

Of course, not being able to counter a lot of the finishers may have a big part to play in that.   

 

(I play WWE 2K16 on Hard difficulty, btw.)

You've got to be kidding, right? Day of Reckoning 2. Wrestlemania XIX. Here Comes the Pain. Just Bring it. Shut Your Mouth.

 

None of those you were able to lose. 

 

I'm a master at XIX and I play on Expert difficulty, but even I've been beaten by the AI before.

What I meant was this is the first WWE 12, 13, 14/ 2K game to give me a challenge, sorry, for the confusion.

 

I actually played the games you mentioned on "Easy".
