He shall be strip-searched and frisked upon departure, it's the fun part of having guests.

[Baddar]

They really are brilliant. Feel free to send me them.

[Quom]

No deal!

[Baddar]

Even if I promise to rock the straight edge pose, complete with my BITW Punk shirt?

[Quom]

No. A swap may be able to be organised. But it would need to be for something I really want. ^_^

[Baddar]

A strand of TMW's pubic hair?

[Quom]

Not unless it comes with a letter of authentication. It would end up being your bum hair or something.

[King Ellis]

Nah, he can't waste any sending it to you. He needs every last strand to glue to his face in order to make it look like he can grow facial hair.

[Baddar]

True dat.

So it looks like every title carries over into Universe, as in even if it's not assigned to a brand it's still used by whoever was the holder before Universe. So you have to use a workaround.

One day they'll improve commentary. No reason why "___ wins the championship." should be so nonchalant.

[Guest zrc]

When it comes to commentary, I'd rather they go back to the old way. No commentary just music playing in the background. The announcers just sound incredibly bored and don't bother to put in 100%, however I imagine standing in a booth for hours reciting the same lines over and over would do that to a guy.

On another note I hope the DLC is released when they say they are. I have no qualms with the 1st and 3rd packs, but when they say the divas aren't even finished it doesnt fill me with confidence for a December release. I only ever get my X-Box Live Membership for these games and once the 3 months are up, I won't be renewing it like I had to last year.

God no. I hate it when games have music playing in the background. I want it to be the same as when I watch it on television, or as close to as they can manage. I don't really want porn music playing during every match. Also NBA 2k12 has great commentary, FIFA's is bearable. UFC and EA MMA had good commentary. So it's definitely possible for it to happen. It's either the commentators not really caring or the producers for not giving proper instructions/the right environment.

IGN have given the game a 9.

IGN Ratings for WWE '12 (PS3)

Rating Description

out of 10

9.0

Presentation

Some incredible work here, recreating the WWE experience in a dramatic, almost lifelike way. The story needs some work.

8.5

Graphics

On the ramp and in the ring, the graphics are great. When it comes to acting, the results are about as good as you might expect.

7.5

Sound

All the music you want is here, and so are the wrestlers' voices, but the wrestlers have more passion on TV.

8.5

Gameplay

The core mechanics are excellent, but the single-player story doesn't want to let you use them.

9.5

Lasting Appeal

There are almost too many options. Online is great but the interface is a bit awkward.

9.0

Amazing

I'm glad that all the actual current superstars are available from the start this year. In the UK, is this game out next Friday?

[DavidMarrio]

Yeh next friday it comes out over here

[zero]

I'm not overly keen on having Triple H as one of the RTWs though. Think he was one on 2010 too? But yeah, it's mainly because he's typically a boring character in terms of move-set to play as, I find. Sheamus' should be great though.

It's all one RTWM this year. You play as HHH for a little bit, Sheamus for a little bit, then a CAW.

[Guest JukeboxHero]

I'm interested in seeing how the momentum system and all that works in Universe mode. Like, if I were to take a guy with really low momentum, put him in a WWE title match and have him win it, would his momentum skyrocket? Would there be any sort of penalty for doing that?

It's good to see IGN gave the game a great review, but doesn't it usually receive rather high marks from them?
