WWE 2K19

[TCO]

The GM and Story Mode screenshots got me momuntarily hyped  

Aside from the dated gameplay and shitty models, my fundamental problem with these games nowadays is that there isn't any acutal real game modes. In Smackdown vs Raw I used to pump hours into the season mode and even the RTWM stories were fun distractions. Reliving old moments like the Bryan showcase is fun but not a core game type of fun!

If Universe mode weren't more broken than Matt Hardy, I would probably buy these games every year because I've always enjoyed running sim feds and would love to see storylines just progress organically.

But since Universe is barely functional, I invariably have to go back to what I did back during the PS2 days and just sim random exhibition matches while the "stories" really only exist on paper.  And if I'm going to do that, Fire Pro is a billion times better for it.

Once again, long hair looks fucking atrocious.

Seems like a common theme with WWE games...

Hey!  I wish wouldn’t have to keep using the same analogy to describe these games, yet here we are.

Confirmed that all 11 Bryan models are separate characters.

Just what the game needed.

A not quite one man yes movement.

That's not true is it?

How ridiculous.

That still gives them money. Borrow it from one of the losers who buys it. 😛

I personally hope they also include War Games in the game so I can do teams of Triple H, Triple H '08, Triple H '01, Hunter Hearst Helmsley, and Terra Ryzing versus Daniel Bryan, Daniel Bryan '14, Daniel Bryan NXT, American Dragon, and Bryan Danielson.

When it comes to the multiple versions of the same wrestler, I don't know if 2K is just so out of touch with what their customers want, or if they really don't give a hoot.

"You asked for it, and you got it...thirteen versions of the Rock!"

Jesus.

Every year.

This matters not a single bit.

With the customization engine in these games ALL alt attires are separate characters. Every. Single. One. Even the ones you make. A single tic in a box makes them a skin for a character so that Universe ranking isn't wrecked but they still carry all the data for custom move sets and the possibility to be ranked as their own characters.

The only difference between 11 DB characters and 11 attires is you have to press down on the character select screen instead of left to get to them.

If you want showcase modes then you're getting multiple attires built in from the start.

 

The real bitch should be retro characters just being a modern model in old gear. That is very clearly morden day Cena in Yellow pants.

[TCO]

They lazily do that every year. Old man Kurt Angle with hair last year was terrifying.

It'd be understandable if their regular face scans were good and had to do this so it wouldn't stick out, but those suck too! It's laziness.

I really wish EA would have gotten the license to the WWE games.

Yeah. And that's a massive pain in the ass, has an easy fix and is lazy as hell - something that is synonymous with how this game is handled each and every year.

If I want to get to Dean Ambrose, I shouldn't have to scroll past 11 Daniel Bryans. In a minor way, it also means that the random features is less well... random.
