CROSS-Out

What in the actual *Censored* is going on in the wrestling world right now. Water must be tainted or something..

Ehh.. i also remember him lying through his teeth about the massive move removal of SvR 2011. And Ledesma, well.. good riddance to him being gone.

Wow, the shitty slots argument, been a long time since I saw that nonsense. There are no limited "slots". There weren't slots 10 years ago, there aren't any now.

English wept. I really hope we don't have to wait until launch day to see what new moves are in the game.

Well, the last time they had to emergency rip someone out of the base game, it did indeed result in one of the buggiest games in their launch history. Not as buggy as 2K20 was, but SvR 2008 was still pretty damned broken supposedly due to that.

I know, it's just.. This company is cursed, it will never be *censored*ing free of old egos destroying things when it finally starts to pull ahead creatively. I didn't have much respect for the Rock as it is in the 2020s, but what little respect I had for the man is now gone and dusted.

Amazing how just one week has managed to completely kill any interest I had in Wrestlemania. This *censored*ing company, it seems, will never be free of old politicking assholes. Calling Rock "balder Hulk Hogan" from now on.

Yeah there's something wrong with reporting at the moment. This always happens in the run up to a new game release too. Probably because of the increased traffic

The crowd sounds pretty bad throughout, everyone appears to still have that one *censored*ing DDT, Sami Zayns theme sounds... weird, and as per usual, commentary is awful. Also, the new camera angle baaaadly needs proper rumble entrances as opposed to everyone just running in.

TBH i've got a few concerns after watching that.

So has anyone else noticed that the UI for the striking mini-game is literally just the old pin system repurposed? Not that im complaining. I really, really hope we get the old submission system as an alternative this year, or at least something we can use other than the current system.

It also just looks really, really stupid. Running at someone and tackling at full force and they somehow avoid it by putting their arm up and leaning back slightly.

The problem from what i've seen is that blocking is both really niche yet when it can be used it completely invalidates aspects of gameplay. Running attacks right now are frustrating as *Censored* because blocking just completely shuts it down even when it really shouldn't.

Probably the two Cody cutters we got in 2k23 but differentiated in name now because you could only select the standing version as a signature or finisher due to it technically being the same move. I just really.. really hope they took what I (and others) said to heart and fixed running springboard finisher distances. Joe Gacys finisher is practically unusable without looking stupid in 23 thanks to that.

Eh, I'm withholding praise until I have my hands on the game and see if they've fixed a lot of the underlying issues. Till then I remain in a state of cautious intrigue.

Pretty sure this is my cats last year, she's been getting worse and worse with accidents and dementia.

The option for people to stay down longer as the match goes on too. Everyone gets up too damn quick no matter how much they're beaten up.

Tbh if they'd just get rid of the lock up grapples and reinstate the old stamina system for match pacing, this would be a major contender to potentially challenge 2K19 for me. Unfortunately even if I do decide to get the game it won't be ordered till the last second or the week after launch. There's just so many major releases this month and next, money is tight.

P3R launches at midnight, I'm very excited. I never did finish the original.

I don't know why so many people who share my name end up insufferably annoying. I just played a match of cc in ffxiv with a Brandon who spent the entire match crouched in a corner spamming self heals. ---- Really really hoping got a reanimated tiger driver 98/butterfly piledriver. I'm surprised we didn't get one with Cody last year.

Oh *Censored* right off 2K.

I admit, throwing weapons is gonna be funny as hell

I personally think all moves should be usable as a super finisher but alas.

I think it's the case in 2k23 too from what I remember, another move hit with the slow motion issue.

Let a man dream Regarding moves and animations though, I know i've said it a lot but I really hope someone sat down to fix the miriad of animation errors present in 2K22 and 2K23. Things like the weird position shift on the pin for the standing black mass, various moves (Regal Cutter, swinging TKO) still going into slow motion, superkick 4s impact being broken, arm mirroring after climbing the turnbuckle facing away, that weird issue whenever you successfully pin someone and sit up with your back to them which ends up pushing them away (it looks like perhaps the wrestlers physical hit box extends outward from their back, maybe?), etc.
