WWE Games MEGAThread: Adrenalin in my soul, hype for 2K24

[cosmo]

The only glitch I've had so far is when I spectated an 8-man falls count anywhere elimination match for shits and giggles, and somehow Batista ended up in the crowd. And since it was an arena where you weren't able to jump over the guardrails, he got stuck and I had to stop the match.

Batista goes wherever he wants, whenever he wants, in any game he wants:

I think I'm one of those freaks who enjoys setting up their Universe more than actually playing it, but maybe I'll try to finally start it today!

You're going to be seeing a lot of mirror matches and other weirdness.

So thanks to PS+ I just played 2k24 for the first time. Made a CAW and faced Roman and all his managers for the title in an Iron Man match. A few notes:

-I already knew this from Fight Forever, but having 5 sigs and finishers really is a game changer. Just the ability to have a sharpshooter in 2 different possitions and still be able to have another move is great, and makes the matches very dramatic.
-Superfinishers rule.
-Tired animations are much improved from 2k22, the last one I played.
-The new moves look great. There's a lot of unnecessary repetition but also a lot of cool stuff. I just wish we could have a proper Orange Crush into pinfall move already.
-Not so many new things for visual CAW creation so far, but maybe there's more I just didn't notice as I was concentrated in making my guy.
-Not being able to pick songs from the soundtrack as entrance music WOULD suck, however...
-One CAW creation process was all it took for me to get sick of this soundtrack. Holy shit, might be overall my least favorite track list from a wrestlign game ever. Turning that off immediately.

Overall, I'm having a lot of fun.

Yeah, 2K24's soundtrack is pretty damn rough. I thought 2K23's was bad too, but at least Typhoons and Sad But True are bops. The best song on the 2K24 soundtrack is a lowkey country song about wanting to commit suicide that doesn't at all work as menu music.

Shit like this is why I will always defend the blow my mind song from 2k19, at least it was fun.

Also gotta respect Bryan for using his one shot to choose a song for a kids game on one that's about an aphrodisiac.

I wish the wrestler themes on the jukebox played in full instead of just snippets.

Sorry for going on about the game's music I swear I'm enjoying the game, but goddamn as someone who hasn't watched in a while, some of these theme changes hurt.

They really had to change Shayna's theme?

That's been a big gripe of mine for years, they had some legit good theme songs. Used to always use Shayna's, Dana Brooke's, Omen In The Sky. Now all the themes are just so bland, I really wish they could just keep the old themes in the games.

The new Sheamus theme isn't in a WWE game yet, but I'm still not over them getting rid of "Too Many Limes" again.

[Lizuka #BLM]

Surprise, the new patch broke something! Now it's causing white outlines to appear around custom logos in-game even though they're not there in the CAW mode itself.

They f***ing WHAT?

Please do not touch Sami's theme again.

Gotta say would have been better if the ambulance archievement doesn't expect you to not lose the ending mingame once

Kind of off topic but on topic. I’ve been playing through all the old Xbox WWE games I didn’t own back in the day for achievements. Somehow I went right from 07 to 2011 so I’ve played 08 this year, am almost done with 09, picked up 2010, and finished Legends of Wrestlemania.

Playing these old games has got me in the mood to go even older. Games like War Zone, Attitude, the WCW games etc. just wondering if anyone has any preference for platform for the games that came out on both PS1 and N64? I played most of them on N64 as a kid, but kinda wanna re-add these to my collection and I’m hearing some video content might only be in PS versions of the WCW games at least. I have access to both and if all things are equal I’ll prob go N64, but not trying to miss out on content

Playing the female MyCareer.

Just went from a storyline were I play as some other person, then a storyline where I dress like a naval captain and then a story where I dress as Rhea.

This sucks lmao.

EDIT: Finished the Rhea story and... I'm stuck in this shitty gear. Also now I have to play as this other person again. If it wasn't for how much I think the gameplay is improved by having more finishers and a super finisher, I'd be very tempted to drop the game and go back to 2k22.

Far and away the best part of that story is the supernatural storyline.

The female MyRise this year is a bunch of disconnected stories that cobble together at the end, sort of.

The male MyRise is better this year.

I wish those steps had retired her.
