Hi all,
Is anybody getting this game? Is it worth it? The "Open Challenge" mode seems interesting, they ditched showcase mode and brought back Road to Wrestlemania, and I wonder if it has its own story heading into WR33/34, because it hasn't happened yet.
Also, I wonder with Smackdown if you put those shows into Universe whether the new guy from Smackdown recorded any commentary. He is so much better than Michael Cole and doesn't have some cheap Mic.
Thoughts?

It does sound quite interesting, although I've got no idea how these games play any more, I haven't played a wwe game in years.

Same here. If it still uses that Quicktime Event pinning system... That's a problem.

I've just found a way to play smackdown 2006 again, that game is such a joy to play!  If only there was a way to read the menus... I want to change moves around!

WWE 2k17 does announce the wrestlers when you select them on the screen. that's a plus.

I don't know if I will get it or not. The last few WWE games have been hit and miss.

:D happy to help out with games and the like... maybe :D

I'm probably not going to for a while at least, there are far less audio queues than I would like, especially when comparing to 2006, in which we can pretty much reverse anything and tell what's going on.

Hi.
And in adition to the missing audio cues, as far as I know, since WWE 2011, the storie mode is like an adventure mode, I guess comparable to mortal kombat deceptions storie mode where you have to go to different people and interact with objects.
Regarding 2006, wait, is that game fully playable or what are you saying there?

yeah, in wwe 2011 the story mode is like an adventure mode, but in wwe 12 until the 2K series the story mode gets back to the previous wwe smackdown VS raw titles, which is from WWE smackdown VS raw until WWE smackdown VS raw 2010, which is only cutscenes and fights.
however, what makes the 2K series unplayable by many peoples is the style of a QTE to get out from a pin attempt, so it's not doable.

going in to the wilds, collecting pokedex, and capturing them are my kind of thing,
training them, making them evolve, and generally making them stronger is my ultimate goal,
fighting other manamon tamers, winning the tournament, and fighting octoros are what these manamons like to do,
and ultimately, I become the master of mana!

I don't understand why developers like qte's so much.

2016-10-14 13:39:44

You and me both .  The series has become less and less playable over the past few years .  Though fortunately for us, from what I've been hearing from many people, the games really aren't as good as they used to be anyway .

2016-10-14 19:21:07

I was planning on getting this game for the PC, but I don't know. I don't want to waste 60 bucks, I'd appreciate it  if someone would let me know if it's playable if you pick it up. lol smile

No. Its not playable. Well it is, but we can't kick out of pins, so it makes it pointless to play the game.

:D happy to help out with games and the like... maybe :D

2016-10-15 23:18:14

lol. get good at the game and you won't get pinned.

2016-10-22 13:26:23

I am deffinatly getting it. infact I should have it by next week Monday. Can't wait to start playing!

all's fare in love and war

2016-10-22 17:12:43

Lol, easier said than done. The commentary isn't as detailed anymore so you don't know the situation you are in.

2016-10-22 23:56:31

it's not even that.  there are no sounds to indicate whether you are being grappled either.
