This whole thing didn't work for me at all. The pacing, production, and editing was far worse than anything WWE does and I thought they were the worst.
I made it through the Ospreay match but that's as far as I got. It was just way too over produced and sanitized. -

Happening at the event on the night - not going to be aired though
Oh yeah this is totally worth tossing on the TV show. They didn't misplace this match with the Lars/Ohno match at all................................

Yo, don't leave me hanging guys. This opens up even more questions.
They aren't kidding. Well Shane isn't nearly as over as he was pre Smackdown GM role. He was mega over when he came in for Mania last year.
Goldberg basically worked because nostalgia + they didn't really script him and Goldberg did basic white meat baby face promos which naturally made him the best face on the mic in the entire company because he didn't have to spew stupidity. Vince knows how to book big guys vs. big guys and pretty much nothing else. They booked him this time like early WCW Goldberg where he spoke little and quickly disposed of everyone. -
Good showing considering how hamstrung they were with most of the A level UK talent under deals elsewhere with the exception of ZSJ. I agree with the sentiment on Tucker v. Bate. Dunne and Andrews stood out as performers. Can't wrap my head around the guys that like Conners. He came off like unbuttered toast. Just a guy......who wrestled an an average match. The bulk of his personality seems to be "remember how Mick Foley lost part of his ear? That happened to me as well!"

Why did they feel the need to give away 100% of the plot in this trailer? I know why Terminator: JenEsYs did it. The movie was getting low buzz and much of that wasn't positive so they were desperate and tried to hook people by giving away the twist.
This movie doesn't have a hype problem. It has definitely received its share of negativity but you'd think "Batman and Superman are in this movie together and they will fight each other" is enough on its own to make it a giant box office winner. Are they worried about Civil War as box office competition or something? I mean I think CW comes out long enough after this movie that it really won't be that big a deal. It just doesn't make any sense to do that. CW is fairly ambiguous and Star Wars has released three trailers and a million TV spots and I don't have the first clue of what will happen.
Also Jesse's Lex is horrible. Who the fuck says "Bat Of Gotham"?

Since The Doctor was constantly recompiling a version of himself from when he arrived the first time he is no older than he was in Face The Raven.

I got a copy today because Target had B2G1 going on. I may regret this.
I skipped 2K15 last year and just played 2K14, which was okay, but the last game I really got into in the series was '13. Mostly I downloaded a bunch of old NWA and AWA wrestlers and had six-man Elimination Chamber tag matches. Can you still do that last one on this game?
The answer to this question is yes although I don't know how many of those guys have been created yet (unless you are the one doing the CAW's).

So the one thing EVERYONE wanted, which was tweaking the submission system is totally ignored. Hooray.
Well they were patching bugs and glitches. The submission system is working as intended. There are just a lot of people who can't a handle on it.
Honestly I've got it figured out but the movement feels unnatural. (the holding of the joystick at the down position and rolling it to the left and right in that position)
If you can master that movement (which again, feels unnatural) the AI's movements are pretty simple and repetitive.

Not sure what to make of the Warcraft trailer.
I love Duncan Jones but I have absolutely no knowledge of that universe so no bias, no prior attachment to the characters or the stories. It kind of looks just there for me.
-
You can make a great argument that the submission min game isn't NEARLY responsive enough to the controls.
But I think a bigger issue is the size of the bars. Granted they become larger with the more damage you do but they don't start out nearly small enough.
-
I dunno, still looks too much like 2K15 to me.
I'll give them credit for the reversal limitations and animations.
I mean what are you expecting? How the game looked last year is the template for how they want the game to look and feel then they just add on to it every year like any other sports franchise. MLB The Show has looked pretty much the same every single year they just add minor improvements that add to the previous installments.
-
The hell? Should of just fully retconned it and just left the regular ref in there.

Tonight's NXT tapings were pretty newsworthy. Some set up to UK takeover and and epic main event for the 11/19 tapings. Also the crowd was at it's absolute worst, at least the 20-50 hard cam annoying ones.
Taping 1.
Asuka beat Cameron. Cameron wasn't half bad but she took a beating.
Bull Dempsey beat Angelo Dawikins
Eva Marie beat Marley(Gionna Daddio's new name)
Finn Balor and Apollo Crews went to a no contest. Baron Corbin interferred and beat down Apollo. Joe made the save. Joe then turned on Balor and put the choke on him.
Taping 2
Adrienne Reese(Athena) beat Peyton Royce with the O face
Apollo attacked Baron Corbin before his match with Tye Dillenger.
Bayley and the Hype Bros beat BAMF.
Nia jax beat Deonna Purrazzo
Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder won the tag titles over the Vaudevillans. Dawson and Wilder went after Aiden's leg all match and won by submission.
Joe interview. Really good interview talking about why he turned on Finn. Finn runs down and they have a brawl. Finn gets choked out again.
Taping 3
Nia Jax beat Carmella
Gable/Jordan beat the Ascension.
Emma beat Mary Kate(Andrea from Shine/Evolve)
Dawson and Wilder beat Corey Hollis and John Skyler
Bayley beat Alexa to retain the women's title. After the match, Eva Marie came out to challenge Eva for a title match at the 11/19 tapings. This was insane as the crowd booed so loud, she couldn't talk. This went on for like 3 minutes with Bayley trying to stop the crowd from booing.
No James Storm, Rhyno or Breeze.
I take it the dig at the crowd centered around that last tidbit of information? Can you honestly blame that crowd?
NXT is suppose to be developmental but they don't treat it like that. They treat it like a fancy PWG but use logical traditional story telling and by-in-large don't treat their audience like mouth breathing fools. When you do that you are going to draw certain crowd an that crowd will have expectations for the pr0duct.
They are doing it to themselves. Everyone knows she isn't very good in the ring (being kind). They know the top brass fap to her pictures on the regular. They know this is to promote their shite reality show. If they play it off like it ISN'T about those things then that crowd is going to see through it and dump all over it.

Are we ever going to get a proper MSG? Watched a match between Batista and Orton in the Summerslam '98 (MSG) arena, and they still come from the side with no entrance ramp on hard camera.
Is there something I'm missing? Apparently it's impossible to make.
All the entrances work on the walk way being the exact same length so if its a RAW, MSG, or Wrestlemania the walk to the ring is the exact same. Otherwise they'd have to have new animations for every arena.

According to this: http://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-the-force-awakens-theatrical-poster-first-look-in-theater-exclusives-and-more

Final Poster
Also the new trailer will debut during halftime on the MNF game on ESPN and probably to the interwebs shortly after that. -
Basically an immediate stat boost for your career mode CAW.Could somebody explain to me what this "My Player Kickstart" thing is?
$10 for that? Good grief.
Welcome to the pay to win world of vidya games. It's not just for online multiplayer anymore!!!

Another ho-hum month.
Across all three platforms I have only downloaded 6 games this year. Last year I had at least a dozen.
Puzzle/Platform just aren't my thing I guess and there have been a ton of them this year. -
It really does seem like the game hasn't kept up with the technology. It isn't the biggest deal, but it is noticable to someone like me who plays a lot of videogames. It just seems like they should be able to keep up with other sports games. Football and basketball games have less animations, but they also have more players to animate. When you play a game as big as Metal Gear Solid V, then play a game with a tiny prerendered arena it makes you wonder how the smaller, less complex game looks so much worse.
Kind of hard to compare year to year sports games to MGS which has been worked on for years. Of course those games are going to be better because they have had a long period to be cultivated. This is why the best games every year are games like Last Of Us instead of (insert Madden year). They have a much smaller window to complete a game. Honestly I'm shocked they are as good as they are.
-
I am utterly stunned that people can't see a graphical improvement over the last gen models. Yes some of the animations are reused. If you play any year to year sports game you are going to see really old animations. It is part of the problem that comes with making games yearly.
That being said a pro wrestling game is so different from a Basketball or Baseball game. They can be graphically more intensive because those games are less complex. Wrestling isn't a sport it's a fighting game mixed with sports simulation. Where as a basketball player or a baseball player might have signature shots or swings you have a roster full of wrestlers with whole move sets, entrances, taunts ect. Anyone one wrestler will have a lot more custom animations that any 5 or 6 NBA 2K16 players.
Having two teams on a court where you dribble, pass, and shoot a ball at a hoop isn't as taxing as a wrestling match with 6 or more models all doing a wider variety of animations.
Personally I think last years game looked better but it was a bare bones operation. You want a bigger roster and more options you are going to take take a hit in the graphics department.
-
If those girls aren't in I honestly can't think of what they could possibly be offering for DLC that anyone would give a shit about.
Blake and Murphy? Fucking Mojo Rawley?
I saw people clamoring for Joe and The Dudley's but if it was "too hard" or "too late" to include the 4HW then there is no way guys like Joe would be in.
When they lock things down and this close to release they are probably already starting prep work on next years game.
-
I've got to think that Sasha and Charlotte will be in the game. I think they went out of their way to say the 4 Horesewomen wouldn't be in the game (that is to say as a group). We already know that Sasha was scanned and in various crowd shots there were NPC crowd members wearing Charlotte shirts.
I'd say the chances are good that those two might be in the game. The sooner they release the DLC contents to people the better though.

Am I the only one who wasn't in love with Charlotte/Becky?
I mean I thought it was good and at times it was great but this (and most matches like it) felt too clunky and awkward for my tastes.
I'd go like 3 3/4
