When did it go so wrong?
>>2802876
When graphics got better so people stopped caring about cartoony arcade gameplay and wanted something realistic
>>2802876
>When did it go so wrong?
When they began trying to mimic real life rather than making a fun game. So I'd say when they got 2K invloved.
HCTP really didn't have a lot of variety, at least not like Svr 06
>>2802917
I can't remember if SvR 06 had backstage shenanigans or not?
>ywn Last Ride Eric Bischoff off the top floor of Times Square ever again
>>2802925
Yeah, not to the scale of HCTP, but more interactive.
>>2802897
It sucked before 2k got involved.
>>2802925
06 had Backstage and Bar brawl.
>>2802876
14 years later and a better wrestling game hasn't been made yet
The ps2 generation was the greatest era of video gaming

I don't get why 2K wants muh realism, muh sport when rasslin' is a spectacle. I'd buy their games every year if they came close to HCTP or DoR.

>ywn throw innocent workers from a roof again
>>2806890
That's how companies justify releasing new consoles, the 4K meme is what they're trying to push now days.

lmao every SvR is shit compared to the original smackdown games, idk how people praised SvR for literally taking features that smackdown had out and then slowly add them back in all half assed

I couldn't agree more
>brother gets new 2k game
>decide to relive my fun from the old games
>favourite thing to do would be to make hideously deformed CAWs
>go into the menu, and max out shoulders
>in the past the shoulders would fucking grow to amazing sides
>id make the spear my finisher and my shoulsers would clip through my opponant
>in 2k, they just get a little big
>no horrendous tumours
>no spindly misformed legs
Fucking boring
>>2806947
i've literally not played a WWE game after SvR 2009. Have I missed anything?
>Video Games
ffs complaining about booking is more productive
>>2806962
WWE13 had a attitude era mode and 14 was the last one on previous gen so had all the features. that's about it.
>>2802876
The "shut into a locker" spot made me chuckle. Did this ever happen IRL? Fittingly it seems like something Y2J would have come up with, too.
>>2806891
fucking story mode in that game was so shittty and hard im seething just thinking about.
but yeah it don't get no better than the 3 smackdown ps2 games.
>>2802931
I used to like riding the motorcycle just so I could use it to choke the shit the shit out of him
>>2802940
My God you actually had a valid opinion for once.
