Senex Beast Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Great review! I'm giving it an 8.5 I'm a different player than most of you though. I've been a casual for the last couple of years and so I just play purely for fun with my favorite wrestlers in random matches. I don't know or care about frame rates, everything being 100% accurate and not expecting 2k doing the best work under a yearly title contract! I haven't tried career yet as I'm just having a blast with exhibition and creations. I am playing universe but not any big show yet until I do my caw show soon, just doing legend and superstar shows meanwhile with random matches or my own edits but not for any title or rivalries.

The Nerd Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Definitely a great read. And overall I agree with the good. The bad I cant speak on because I havent got that far yet. At least to that specific tag match. I just won the NXT title so its still fresh to me. Career Mode is definitely fun. But I have to say while I know its hard to do, I really really would love voice options back in the game. Also Ive said it once and Ill say it again, Yukes needs to be dropped. I know everyone needs a job and Im not being a dick but they need to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xphen0m Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 I'm liking Universe mode A LOT this year. In the three shows I've done, I've already gotten more cutscenes than I've gotten in the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know everyone needs a job and Im not being a dick but they need to go. That's not really the problem. Yukes owns the engine they use, dropping Yukes means either having to make a new engine from scratch (which ain't happening in one year), or spending money to licence the engine (assuming Yukes would even be willing to do so).

Ethereal Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Almost the things wrong with WWE 2K18 at the time of release can be summed up in one single experience I've had. It was a 3 vs 3 tag match I was put into in career mode in which I had the objective of Win the match with 3 or more stars, me being the one pinning, and I had to hit at least 2 finishers. This match took me over an hour to complete, and was so horrifically frustrating that I nearly turned the game off entirely. I loathe this match. I've been stuck on this since yesterday and have opted to playing Road to Glory and Online instead. Unfortunately I can't change the difficulty down from Legend, so I have no choice but to complete all three objectives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maskedmaniac Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 I'm just about to buy the game on Steam for $60. Some things being said here kinda scare me about the game like it being slower and the cpu being easier to beat, so maybe I'll just play it for a couple of hours and then return it.

xphen0m Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Catching people off guard in the Royal Rumble and eliminating them with a clothesline is FUN! Despite the frame time dropping, Rumbles/Battle Royals are still playable and they are actually FUN this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senex Beast Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 I haven't done a royal rumble yet but I do 8 man pin and submit battle royals all the time and they sure are a blast for me. As I mentioned before, I don't know anything about technical stuff such as frame rates and don't even care but battle royals including 8 men is very playable and damn fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zurick Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Only if you are purposely looking for the flaws and dwell on the negative aspects "purposely looking for the flaws" It's like you haven't even played the game or you're blatantly white knighting it. Look, I know everybody has varying degrees of enjoyment and I know opinions are not objective, but this game is mired by awful decisions, a clear lack of play testing, and an unrealistic pace of putting these games out year after year. The more they try to BE what you see on TV, the more charm they lose, and the worse they get. Bring back HCTP. Motion Capture killed this series like I feared it would when they first started using it. Someone posted this in a thread recently and it rings true. The game is lifeless now. And this isn't even talking about the massive bug fest this game has become. The game "officially" releases Tuesday and we players have run into more bugs than there are people who will purchase this game. I'm not even talking about the little bits of details like "oh this titantron is slightly off, or X is missing a wristband." I'm talking about real problems. http://caws.ws/forum/topic/478280-bugs-glitches-thread/ http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1446680&page=3 You don't have to go looking for things that throw themselves in your face. If you ask me, this game really.... misses the target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M3J Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 So, the problem with WWE games nowadays is that they're trying to go for realism over fun? Makes sense and would explain why most games FOR ME aren't as replayable as Raw 2 and SvR 06 were. I love the new moves but wish moves weren't taken out and those that were are added back in. No idea what the point is in taking moves out anyway. Plus, a lot of them aren't as fun as they were in the older games. We ought to boycott the game/s until they start really improving it or at least, not release it buggy and all. Sadly, most fans won't do that, so 2K has very few reasons to actually give a shit.

romanticking Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 LOL, People started their complaining. Its the truth and it happens every year. Its always fun to watch, supporting 2K before the release of the game and kissing their arse and after the game is released complains all over the place. I know it is going to happen. ROFL. First people must come out of the belief that 2K are saviors of the WWE games and must voice their opinion when the game is in production. 2K got their money and they will show us the middle finger until next year and giving us few patches for this year. Game haven't changed or improved dramatically from THQ days apart from moving from one gen to the other. THQ also made some classic WWE games in the form of HCTP or some other shite.

On topic though, thanks for your review GM Pepsay. I ended up buying the game for a third off the retail price. I will play it a bit tomorrow, but from all I hear I will sell it on and stick with 2K17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
