  1. But, if you were able to obtain one for free and you know there's likely no chance of you getting busted, would you be saying the same thing? Human greed is one thing, but if someone was actually hurt by it, I doubt as many people would be doing it.
  2. Maybe people shouldn't hold onto it so flimsily. If you wind up throwing it, it's your own fault quite frankly.
  3. Going by Gamefaqs you have to win the WWF Championship in challenge mode on the medium or hard difficulty setting with any user-created wrestler.
  4. Kaney, the shirt 1 does not change colour at all. It is simply a bright white regardless of what I do. Shirt 2 would be great if I could adjust the arm length. Shirt 4 is what I wound up using but has the pleated look which looks bad up close plus the neck is wrong. Shirt 5 would be perfect if I could get rid of the neck part. 6 is just like the first one, and 12 and 14 can't be edited.
  5. I tried taking out your quotes of my post, so this may not look right.
  6. I normally ignore most people's complaints on games, but this game is honestly shit. Why is it every year something is taken out for no reason? And before anyone remotely makes comment about space, I just put the game in my DVD drive 4.14 GBs does not use up a whole disc, especially when at least 3 gigs of that is the videos and voicework (the PS2 version at least). Why are so many fucking moves gone? Why can't I have a simple plain black T-shirt with a created wrestler? Why does it honestly have to load a "And Later That Night" screen in season mode? Why do created wrestlers not carry belts if you even want to remotely have a decent custom entrance? Why the fuck does Bret Hart still do that ridiculous jumping spin kick? Why can Super Crazy not even fucking pick up Matt Hardy of all people? These are just a paltry number of questions... That I may be able to think of answers if not for the ridiculously shitty commentary and god awful and repetitive soundtrack hadn't given me a headache. This game is not an improvement over any of the previous games, it is a complete step back with people ooohing and ahhhing a small collection of controllable moves, better selling (how many games did that take?) and "new" control system that is exactly the same thing as the previous games. Hell, you can still play this like the old ones (albeit I prefer controller type B). This game does nothing but boggle my mind with how shitty it is. And why the fuck is my average match length a little over 3 minutes? It takes almost as much time to get through all the loading and checking to have a match that long. I got punched by Batista with Triple H and my chest went instantly yellow. Also, why do people think they stay down longer? Maybe compared to the last game, but I just finished my Survivor Series match against Bradshaw who not only took 2 consecutive pedigrees but also a leap of faith through an announce table not long after. Yet he got up before I could even regain my stamina. I also find it irritating to have fully functional models of Vince McMahon, Stephanie, Jim Ross... Hell, Tony Chimmel, yet you can't use them. Maybe I was spoiled by No Mercy and the Aki games in general, but come on... Especially considering Vince has wrestled a decent amount this year. More than his son. And where is the ECW representation? If Umaga is in the damn game, along with some more recent occurances, why not even just Sabu? Looking at the sample PPVs is laughable when you take a gander at One Night Stand. A hole two matches. Actually... As much as they irritate the shit out of me, where is the Spirit Squad? They've been around for a fair length, feuding with the likes of Shawn Michaels and Triple H, yet Vito is in? However despite all that, I do see some forward progress (as usual). General presentation of the matches and the flow of moves is nice. Albeit instead of the elbow in the gut reversal I now am enjoying an endless string of kicks to the nuts. The Legends roster is great. Last years was fairly shit in my opinion, but this year is grand compared... But why do they have to take legends out? Why take anyone out? Like Paul London. Why no Paul London? Or Eugene? They stick Paul London's friggin' mushroom stomp in the game, but they don't feel the need to keep him in? BAH! The game is just meh. For every tiny bit they do they do even less. The game reeks of shoddiness and you can tell it was sloppily shipped out. I question if anyone at Yukes even play tested it. How can some of the more glaring glitches and issues slip by so easily? The roster is badly outdated (I don't mind guys like Jericho, Angle, etc. being in after being gone, but I find it inexcusable to have people absent for no reason). The music, sound effects and commentary plainly suck. The in game wrestling is dull after the 7th or so iteration of the same engine with yearly tweaks. The create a wrestler mode has been effectively nerfed for me. I thought people were kidding and/or exaggerating when I saw that some 200 or so moves were missing... Nope. I can't make some of the usual CAWs I create because a lot of moves are missing. And that's my biggest gripe honestly. I can forgive missing audio cues (never announcing the second partner of a tag team for instance), I can look past a limited soundtrack and anything presentation related (entrances for example), I can even turn a blind eye to ridiculous AI countering and behaviour... But excising so many moves is ridiculous. To me, games are entirely about their gameplay. And for a wrestling game, the variety and amount of moves is directly tied to it. Between a roster of 44 regular men, 7 women and 16 legends you have such a small roster of moves. Toss in 30 CAWs if you want and I guarantee you'll see the exact same moves repeatedly ad nauseum. I find this game to be just like all the previous ones but at the same time far worse... For this is supposed to be the best version so far and an improvement. The only thing improved to me are tiny details when bigger issues are ignored. Oh and when I can play a two year old game in San Andreas that has similarly lengthy load times, and it whips up an entire state almost on the fly (yes, worse graphics and bad draw in, but the sheer size of it all), and this takes so long to bring up a ring, some announce tables, two to six wrestlers with a possible referee and commentary team I have to laugh... I just got half way through Final Fantasy XII and stopped only to play this... Fully immersible world with dozens of characters on screen at a time (that all look infinitely better than the "crowd" in this game), large and very detailed areas and sometimes immensely sized and detailed enemies (along with the main characters) with nary a load time... Yeah, this game just... Blah...
  7. The Trans-Siberian Orchestra would fit quite perfectly. Lot or variety in the type of material they do.
  8. X can be beaten in a matter of 20 hours if you wanted. People get ridiculously high hours when going after all of the side quests (particularly the ultimate weapons for each character) along with beating all of the special bosses. The main story is relatively short if you follow it through without much deviation. I also recommend it too if you're looking for the shortest/easiest without much time to put in. You may very much like XII if you enjoyed Tactics. Otherwise VI isn't all that long. As is IV. VII is fairly long, along with IX. I truly forget VIII despite having it sitting on my desk for the past few months with intentions to play. I recall it being fairly longish. Never bothered with II or III, and only have gotten halfway through V until I was bored to tears. So go with X, otherwise one of the SNES ones would do quite well.
  9. It's the third mark, it should not be this difficult. I was fighting wolves, strung 26 before I couldn't find anymore. Here's a question, what things will break my chain other than killing a different creature? Cutscenes, will, but if I just go to a different part of the estersands, will my chain continue? Is there a max to the chain? Do the letters just reset after Z? Agh, I had so much shit, this is what I always had trouble with, I was too irrational and just kept fighting without ever considering heading back to town to save and restock.
  10. Damn tags better work this time.
  11. I don't buy online, and I have yet to see it anywhere since. So pretty much I have had no opportunity to get it.
  12. Since I got paid today and have it off, and stokerino brought this back up... To anyone who's played both, if you had the choice would you buy 2 for $50 or the first for $30? In 2004 I was gonna buy Disgaea but didn't have the cash at the time, and lost my chance. I didn't want to get the 2nd without playing the first, but my EB has both for the time being (the first pre-owned of course). I'm playing FFXII right now, but I think I should pick at least one of them up or else lose my chance yet again at either this time.
  13. Well like Xenosaga in that you can see the enemies, but there is no transition just like Gongsun Zan said. Think Chrono Trigger.
