Hahaha. Unfortunately it's the best you can get with how bare bones it is. Had to work around it myself and suspend a lot of disbelief in CAW modes. 

Had to do this for these. Liberty is not the Cverse Liberty (making him later) this is Captain Liberty I wanted to create after making them a user character in the CVerse 1997 mod on TEW 2020.

Nemesis just has this attire but a mask on and off variant. Wanted to give him a slasher style hockey mask as it seemed fitting with the influence of DAVE at the time, along with SkullDeBones. 

Rip Chord. Has the basic Ric Flair blue attire. Which I've used for his HGC 97 run. I'm going to create his Texas drinker and brawling attire from early career, HGC Slic Rip, Syndicate Boss attire and a lot more. He's modeled on Ric Flair for myself and influences of Texas Wrestlers from 1970s to 2000s. Added knee brace to signify his knee blow out and surgery before 97. 

Sam Strong has a few attires. Basic one is his early APWF/Chicago attire that it before he had the last name Strong and it was Stragavelli. Which is Italian colours. There's his basic red, white and blue attire as Strongamania hit the SWF. An alternative Red and Yellow and then Syndicate Sam Strong as an evil boss tyrant figure which was built into his Hollywood Sam Strong gimmick. There's also a black and white attire variant like Hollywood Hogan. 

Liberty will be next. As I want his American bleach blonde gimmick, his facepainted attire and then into The Crow Sting style. 

Only issue is the game has been crashing whenever I've tried to play it, and a bug where I ended up not being able to do anything in a tag team match. Still had a very fun tag team match with the four of them when I did get some time.

I got this for my son for Christmas. Honestly just hoping general game play is fun.

The gameplay is fun. Very easy controls too. It should be a blast. 

[Baddar]

They're releasing what is essentially a complete edition of the game called Bring the Boom, and it's £85.

[9 to 5]

Who else is there left to scam?!

[michgcs]

I kinda feel bad that this game was my most played this year according to Steam lol and now instead of working through my backlog of the Arkham games, I've switched to playing NBA 2K24

[VerbalPuke]

Geez I got that for my son for Christmas. 

Didn't pay a lot. 

But also not on PS5 so it should be ok. 

[VerbalPuke]

So, it's not terrible. Low expectations maybe but we had with the death match. Didn't pay a lot so it's all gravy but gameplay is fun enough.

Looks like this is on Gamepass now

[Bobfoc]

Well, I might as well give it a go, then.

Oh awesome!

Edit: Hmm, not showing on my app. I'll have to check the actual Xbox. 

Edit 2: Not on the Xbox for me either. Weird. But I did find out my son downloaded Roblox, so I deleted that right quick. 

[Your Mom]

Some kind of error for me maybe? I recently picked up the game for cheap but it's not in the Xbox right now and when I went to the game icon it says Gamepass on it and I can play without the disc in there

[GoGo Yubari]

I'm not getting anything either but maybe it's on the way and you accidentally gave us the scoop

[Bobfoc]

It says it's a free trial when I looked. I think it must be one of the occasional "Free Play Days" offerings you sometimes get with Game Pass.

That's a bingo.

AEW, UFC 5, Make Way and some One Piece game are the trials up through Jan 22nd. Gonna have to download this and give it a try over the weekend then.

Is the story mode worth bothering with? I gather there is an actual end to it, presumably there's just different stories you can run into on the way there?

[Vamp]

Story mode is good if you want to watch your character eat a different speciality from each state they visit.

Are we sure Fight Forever wasn't just a Sufjan Stevens album reskinned?

[GoGo Yubari]

For all the talk about the food stuff in Road to Elite, I wasn't quite prepared for how hard I would laugh at seeing that they even included a dietary preference selector at the start of the mode, right below difficulty.

Mostly just fucking around and looking at settings. Was interesting to see which wrestler themes for people who aren't in the game they included in the shop, wasn't expecting to see Maki Itoh's theme turn up. Got a laugh out of the fact that they couldn't shell out for either "Jane" or "Where Is My Mind?" so Orange Cassidy is back to that bad generic theme he had for his first year in AEW, not that I can really blame them (though I'm surprised they didn't just have Mikey Rukus churn out a "Jane" soundalike).
