Wrestling Video Games (WWE '13)

I've always been a Kane mark, but even I can see that he's way past his best. Less than 90 is fair for him now. Unless you thought he should be lower...

HHH and Bigshow better than Chris Jericho? Fuck off and die.

Overall mean nothing in this game. This is not even a matter of how difficult it is to beat the AI. It's a matter of how well the AI cooperates with you and yes, sometimes you have to let the AI hit you on purpose, just for that WWE match experience.

The 3 match types that wwe 13 has - the quick, normal and 5 star is the most excellent stuff I've seen added because as I said, this isn't a matter of how hard it is to beat the AI, it's a matter of capturing the right match type depending on the competitors.

BTW, the creation suite is awesome. Transparency is back, which means better tattoos. I can speak for myself on this, but I spent ages on the painting logos mode drawing tattoos and pants designs for my CAWS and I really, really enjoy it. I am glad to see it expand in wwe 13. For all I've seen, this game is awesome. WWE 12 had the right foundations no doubt. (my view.)

Seriously? You're complaining that Triple H has a better rating than Jericho? :cringe:

 

[muscularmatt]

Yeah, I guess so. Was watching some of the stuff from last summer when CM Punk was ripping on him. That stuff made me wee when it was first broadcast.

But Fatshow, 92? Really?

Looks like they're starting to get it.

 

[BonBon]

where would be the best site to order this game from?
Which sites are best known for early delivery?

 

[muscularmatt]

Dunno what the picture will be like in Ireland, but over here I think supermarkets will be the best bet, namely Asda. Tons of copies straight away, lower prices than just about anywhere else.

8 on IGN.

8 on IGN.

8.4 to be exact.

Their review was rubbish. Spent most of it yapping on the fact that audio/commentary isn't that good. Commentating has been shit in wrestling games since they first started using it.

Attitude era mode does look cool, and the US peeps are saying the server is working much better this time (for now).

 

[muscularmatt]

Last year's server, particularly for the CAW suite, was an abortion. That better be sorted.

8.4 is a really good rating for a wrestling game. But I judge it different than a lot of the online reviewers, so will only know until I play it.

 

[Bish]

Create an arena looks awesome this year. Shame you can't remove the ramp though.

 

[Joel]

Are you getting it, [MENTION=29007]Bish[/MENTION]?

 

[Bish]

I had some left over amazon vouchers and don't have any other games I'm planning to get soon so I thought fuck it, so ordered. Hearing opinions from people who know their stuff, they're saying it's a big improvement on '12. Gameplay + features wise.

 

[Joel]

That's promising to hear. Shopto seem like they're not allowed to let games out 2 days early anymore, so should probably have this by Thursday.

:kenny:

Plans to release a patch before it's even out in Europe. Yuke's deserve just as much criticism as THQ though.

My first match; Rock vs Punk. Put it on Epic Match Mode. Legendary difficulty as usual. Games seems harder. Reverse windows switch off quicker. Match is going pretty good. About 5 mins in I hit Punk with a roll up. He reverses it to a roll up of his own, I reverse it to a roll up of my own again... I win the fucking match.

After about 7 moves I win the match... Punk isn't damaged. This isn't a Quick Match Mode. But I win the Epic Match Mode after 7 fucking moves. WTF?!

I did have a good match with HBK and Foley in the Attitude Era thing though.

 

[muscularmatt]

Probably won't have this for a little while yet, because I'm poor.
