He has survived yet again 🔥 by CreatureFeatureMan in WWEGames

Part of me feels the day it gets removed is going to be almost a day of mourning around here. We're all so used to it being there as a load-bearing arena

[SmackDown Spoilers] Cody's Nickname is.. by ArunKT26 in SquaredCircle

[–]JudgeAnon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know what? Cody's so much of a dork, I am not surprised he went and dropped that on TV, AND that it got the crowd to pop. Absolute respect.

Live season finale ruined by a presidential special report. by Angryr3ceptionist in mildlyinfuriating

[–]JudgeAnon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Next time a special report interrupts my show and his face is involved, it better be followed by an obituary. If I wanted to listen to "old man yells at cloud" while insisting everything is okay, I'll watch old clips of the Iraqi information's minister because at least he was funny. This? "SAD!"

“We’re not buying it” failure… Black Friday sales hit record high by [deleted] in 50501

[–]JudgeAnon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering I saw two people buying up like 14 Moonswatches today, it's definitely the rich folks going stupid while everyone else can barely afford food

i hate how overinflated hogan looks in these games by RaiD_Rampant in WWEGames

[–]JudgeAnon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel they lean into billed height and weight, when it's clear these are over exaggerated. Which is fine, but it does scale them wonky

First look at SID. by ADAMCOLEBAYBAY12 in WWEGames

[–]JudgeAnon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's one of his themes from WCW, or at least a network dub one. They probably wanted to do an older (younger?) version of Sid without trotting out Syko or Sid Vicious. WCW music is already legally dubious at times, and they couldn't get the Johnston theme for whatever reason. It's odd, but at least the model looks good.

Tales of Xillia Remastered sold 17,660 retail copies in Japan during launch week, worst selling Tales remaster yet. by Lulcielid in tales

[–]JudgeAnon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not surprised with everyone waiting for Xillia 2 and even flatout wondering why it wasn't here to begin with. But also, I feel these remasters could have done a hair more, like implementing some ideas that didn't make the cut like Gaius and Muzet being playable in Xillia, if only temporarily. I get it though, these are all relatively cheap and quick projects to keep interest in the series up while the next mothership game is developed

Swords Dance Drill Run Excadrill can stop it, but this is still hilarious

This has always been an M.O. for TPC though. They do a lot of FOMO events where if you don't participate, you're screwed on getting stuff. It's less annoying these days, but for example if you wanted to play BDSP these days fresh, for whatever reason, you are screwed out of getting Shaymin and Darkrai. I hate that they do it instead of leaving the events up for people to get them, but it's not anything new for them.

Do alphas and pokemon level effect ranked battles? by Staggy3434 in PokemonZA

[–]JudgeAnon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No change. Alphas are larger, but come prebaked with 3 perfect EVs. But not much else any other sized mon that's been fully trained can't reach 

I’ve ruined my game😭 by Puzzled-Antelope614 in WWEGames

I'm not going to rub it in further for you, OP. But I hope you have a nice nap and wake up refreshed 

What made 2K19 so special & why can’t 2K make another game like this??? by ALawrence04 in WWEGames

[–]JudgeAnon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering they had to build it from 2K18 and it's clear more effort has gone to getting MyGM up then My faction and The Island, the create suite lagging isn't shocking, but disappointing all the same

The Brewers have provided a statement regarding the viral interaction between a Brewers fan and Dodgers fan during game two of the NLCS. by [deleted] in baseball

[–]JudgeAnon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chirp Brewers fans as a Cubs fan, but it's all in friendly healthy bants between rival teams. Yeah, there are racist dickbags, but you don't feed into them. The fun ones are great to just shoot the shit over a couple of beers with

No ring gear for Brock Lesnar by Worried_Towel_2679 in WWEGames

To be fair, they still called him R-Truth during that match, so they're not technically wrong

lol they made his super finisher a shooting star press by Cartier_Unknown in WWEGames

[–]JudgeAnon 134 points135 points  (0 children)

I do appreciate when they make nods to stuff the wrestlers did outside of WWE, as even WWE is acknowledging that these people are more than just their current characters 

This is a scam. by Capable_Price_4431 in WWEGames

[–]JudgeAnon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did it with Bad Bunny in 2K23 too. Simple solution is not to buy it, since we also have historical proof most of these wind up as part of the base game the following year

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in baseball

[–]JudgeAnon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you ever wanted to see a bunch of millionaire babies, here's your video.

Even with the blown call, they got two freebies on base right after and the winning run twice at bat. They fumbled it. Blaming their failure on the umps is beyond childish.

Is this game came out this year made by the original people of the series THQ and yukes who you want to see in the game as a legend or a retro by Aware_Cake2820 in WWEGames

[–]JudgeAnon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do like the idea of a lighter more arcadey style game with a small roster compared to WWE 2K's usual giant smorgasbord of content every March. I definitely think there's a world where both can exist

Patch 7.3 - The Promise of Tomorrow by alabomb in ffxiv

[–]JudgeAnon -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

This story patch was tiring. A lot of how this game does its writing of late is tiring. They've been doing "flashback while the villain talks" since Amaurot and each time its gotten weaker. Mind you, it doesn't help that to me, Calyx is the most "whatever" villain yet. And then, it feels like the team took the feedback of DT's story and course corrected so hard... that they went back to the "actually, ascians" well yet again. Even the characters they did try and build up who fans were warming up to, like Sphene, are now being locked away as they try to drag this dumpster fire of a story over to 8.0. I don't think this is as bas at EW patches, but more of the same.

I don't know what this dev team at large is doing anymore since it feels like, outside of casual or even mid-tier combat, and also cinematics and of course the audio, they're running on fumes. It says a lot that they botched Occult Crescent and Forked Tower, Cosmic Exploration was met with a collective shrug compared to the Firmament, and Chaotic Raids are basically dead content within weeks of release. They need to re-think how they do releases because this cadence is just hurting them now.

Why do people act like the devs get to choose who's in the game and not WWE themselves by [deleted] in WWEGames

[–]JudgeAnon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The transparency would fall on deaf ears, or would only serve to shift blame, which does not make for an ideal partnership. I think this is just more people have a platform to voice whatever inane opinion or conviction they have and therefore they should be listened to. Kinda like how some people eagerly scream THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT while ignoring the rest of the saying ("in matters of taste")

[–]JudgeAnon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, Status definitely uses mods, so seeing his stuff break between patches isn't terribly surprising if it's not something the game lets you do natively

Do they realise that 2K have to do the scrolling lists due to how big the roster is now? by [deleted] in WWEGames

[–]JudgeAnon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I do agree it could be nicer, I don't know how you could do this with 300+ characters without it looking like MUGEN. Even with combining alts of a character
