Personally, I hope it stays with THQ and instead there's a shake-up at the top of Yukes. Most of the people actually in charge of the series are lying assholes, but the core game itself is fantastic and I really don't want to toss out all of the features we have now to go back to a bare-bones game. So you're saying that every WWE game that THQ has released is perfect? By no means, but I generally enjoy them and find this year's game to be quality so all of the, "Reboot! Reboot!" calls I very much disagree with.

Absolutely agreed, Lizuka. While I've got nothing against the idea of there being other wrestling games out there that can try and provide some competition, I don't want to throw out the baby with the bathwater. WWE '12 has an excellent engine where the wrestling is really fun (unlike pretty much any non-Smackdown wrestling game in the last 6-7 years), and there's a ton of creation modes that I don't want to see dropped either.
If we started off again with the WWE equivalent of IMPACT, but it had great servers to download all 10 potential CAW options, would it really be worth it?

The grass is not always greener and all that. I'm very happy with the actual gameplay for WWE 12.

My true hope isn't for "Reboot" it's for "Refinement". Polish up what they have now. Add to it, refine it. Improve it.

The simple fact is, when a game company sells a new game, that means they make a profit from it. If you buy it from Gamestop used, Gamestop makes all the profit on it. They get nothing. So really, I can understand why they don't really like it, and why they give incentives to buy it new. But it's still not going to stop me from buying games used. But, weren't all of these used games sold at Gamestop all bought new at some point and then traded in? My point is that whether Gamestop sells used games or not shouldn't bother them because they already made a profit on those games when they were bought new before being traded in by the owners.

Can throw in Hulk Hogan's game too, and I was actually thinking of ones like Legends of Wrestling, although I realised after I posted that those were out of the timeframe I suggested. Guess I was overcautious to avoid offending any DOR fans, as I still haven't played those. The simple fact is, when a game company sells a new game, that means they make a profit from it.

My point is that whether Gamestop sells used games or not shouldn't bother them because they already made a profit on those games when they were bought new before being traded in by the owners. It does bother them, though, because it means they basically get two people owning the game, and they only get one sale. Multiply that up, and it's a lot of lost revenue, while Gamestop and their ilk make a lot more profit. It's how the market works, but I can see how it's disheartening to a games company.

Just encountered a new cutscene in Universe and I'm confused as hell. Basically, the match stops when Kharma had beaten Natalya down some. A scene starts with her going for the pin, but Nattie kicks out, causing Kharma to fly into a rage and hurl the ref across the ring. The ref calls for the bell and throws the match out, except the match keeps going. With him down, Michelle McCool runs in and attacks Natalya while I look on. The ref gets back up and the match continues as usual. No DQ or anything. Don't quite know what to make of that.

I'm pretty sure it's another massive glitch.

Yeah, think it's supposed to lead in an in-ring brawl or something, but it's glitched so the match just continues.

Yet Another Server Update, from Twitter...
"Plan of action" that they're "executing on"? Someone got a Dilbert "Buzzword Of The Day" calendar for Valentine's Day...

I'm having a lot of success tonight so far downloading guys. I'm sure I just jinxed myself. But it's the first time I've tried in two weeks.
Edit: And of course once I said this... I couldn't download anything else. Welp.

I'm wondering, if a storyline with someone trying to get themselves added to the WrestleMania main event between Royal Rumble winner Shawn Michaels and World Heavyweight Champion Bret Hart ended in the person failing, would people be glad to see another match between those two or pissed that the result would be denying the world a triple threat of Michaels / Hart / Kurt Angle.

This new patch will probably finish off comunity creations entirely.I i wouldnt get our hopes up for it.Certainly before the patch i could get on CC quite regulary at a certain time and others could as well,the patch pretty much made things worse.I just hope this doesnt kill the servers completley.

I couldn't download anything else. Welp. I ran into that. Everything ran really fast, then I finally found El Fufu's content for his CHIKARA wrestlers...and it kicked me out. The servers really only work for a few minutes when you connect, then kicks you out. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if this was a conscious decision to keep the servers moving for everyone. You get about a 4 minute window before it shuts you down. Total bulls***. On a unrelated note, the idea that Universe Mode is fully customizable is BS, too. I had one week where I decided to replace almost every match on the card, because I didn't like where it was putting some of my CAWs, and the next week, the exact same card popped up again. It's trying to force it's own card on me to keep it's plans going. Ugh.
