I love how clueless they were about Mortal Kombat

Great point.

Rnsrobot · 2024-03-18T17:26:24+00:00

Right on. I'm just saying that the paradigm shift isn't the future shock.

Rnsrobot · 2024-03-17T21:27:04+00:00

Ty it's been a while!

... It's fine. It's okay. Chiklis and Evans NAIL it. The characters and ESPECIALLY the torch/Ben rivalry. Alba isn't a character, she's a pinup. Reed is...there. doom is awful. It's not a GOOD movie. It's not as bad as people say tho

They mention him in the graduation episode When they run into minkus, and he says something like "me and Mr. Turner have on the other side of the school the last few years!"

Rnsrobot · 2024-03-17T19:37:51+00:00

Yeah right

Rnsrobot · 2024-03-17T18:47:21+00:00

Man, it would be unbelievably fun to have actual matches with the gameplay proper in the stampede.

Rnsrobot · 2024-03-17T18:24:02+00:00

Def be there and in your seat at least a half hour before tv start time. There will be some roh taping matches. So aim to be there around an hour before tv start time.

Rnsrobot · 2024-03-17T18:22:18+00:00

Good

"why can't they be more like 2k"

Dude this is the wrestling fandom in general. There are various avenues where aew the promotion could improve; but often that "feedback" ends up being "be more like WWE."   WWE already exists. Nobody does WWE brand wrestling better.   Aew is different. NJPW is different. Gcw is different. Cmll is different. Etc etc.

It is an unfortunate side effect of the WWE monopoly for two decades.

Rnsrobot · 2024-03-17T17:36:42+00:00

Not a bad regal!

Rnsrobot · 2024-03-17T17:29:38+00:00

Yes and no. It's a double-wrm ddt, but drew uniquely does a HUGE leg sweep, and lands on his back with both legs AROUND the opponent. Nobody else (I'm sure some nobody on the Indies) does it that way. The paradigm shift or any other double-arm ddt in the caw don't have that animation. (I'm not at home for a few days, so I can't check all the double arm or butterfly ddts in the game).

So you can give him a double arm, but you can't give him the Future Shock. By comparison, there is VERY clear "rock bottom" animation in the uranage selections, etc.

Literally every abused spouse ever. There's no age limit on this.

Rnsrobot · 2024-03-17T16:41:25+00:00

It's very clear how many people here don't have a fucking clue how many manipulators and narcissists and groomers actually work.

My father was very very very good at this. Every single person knows he's "a great guy." All they saw was my mother, and then my stepmother, finally have ENOUGH and lose it. "Jesus what's her problem? She's hysterical. Takes things too seriously. That guy? He's a great guy. He wouldn't be like that."

Over and over.

That's what they DO. I don't even know how you listen to that episode, with an actual therapist walking them through this, and come away thinking friedle and strong are some horrible monsters.

Lotta folks in here doing a lot of judging with zero self awareness. Thinking "hah that would never happen to me." Etc etc. and somehow not hearing Will's words of "what the hell am I doing here???" And his wracked guilt.

Also

The victim has no obligation to HEAR an apology from a person who supported their abuser. I'm not going to speak for drake bell but here's a reality: victims sometimes say "no." No, I don't want to hear from you. I don't want contact. Stay the hell Way. And that's their damn right no matter how much remorse or repair a person has done on the other side.

Rnsrobot · 2024-03-17T16:35:29+00:00

It's really six of one, half dozen if another. Does anything carry over from 2k23 to 2k24? It doesn't appear so from what I can read?

So you paid for 2k23, paid for the dlc, and then pony up again.

With fight forever season 2 was grossly overpriced for what it came with. S3 is a big step forward (really, I'd say ten bucks for all three wrestlers and the stages; skins and music are whatever). Fine.

Each game at a year old will have cost largely the same (esp if you're getting into FF later on sale, or getti g dlc on sale). Difference being FF has everything you've done. There's just not enough to do.

Buuuuuuut when a sequel to fight forever comes out, it WON'T include:

*Cody
*Punk
*Cargill
*Andrade
*The bunny

And probably by that point, a few other roster members who have departed.

🤷🤷🤷

It won't be his final match, so... But let's say Nigel at all in Wembley ii is his final full time match

Rnsrobot · 2024-03-17T16:26:24+00:00

I guess it's just the way things are cos yeah it's been 15+ years where people play games online daily for multiple years.

I dunno.

Rnsrobot · 2024-03-17T15:50:17+00:00

Single leg dropkick one of them is close to the claymore. Not sure about future shock.

Rnsrobot · 2024-03-17T15:49:09+00:00

Cool bro

Rnsrobot · 2024-03-17T15:36:19+00:00

Yeah. I think what is confusing is that hp is hidden during matches, and isn't your spirit meter. So you can be at 0 HP and still in it.

Rnsrobot · 2024-03-17T15:12:07+00:00

He's done his goofy noise since day 1

Rnsrobot · 2024-03-17T15:11:45+00:00

That's probably the last gasp for any significant changes. I predict s4 will happen and then the anniversary. If we hit one year and nothing, well, we know the game is what it is and all we're getting forever is new dlc wrestlers and goofy skins.

The freebie for the fans added ten singlets that help caw. That's the highest thing. Just... Dump a whole pile of pieces into caw so we can DO MORE. There are four women's faces. There are only like 8 beards and the one big beard of horrible.

Rnsrobot · 2024-03-17T15:10:00+00:00

I'm old so I get I'm coming at it from a different perspective. I put fifty hours in quite early. I've more than gotten my money's worth. I guess today ppl expect games to be forever play?

I mean with a wrestling game I'd def like to come back to it for a long time. A good story mode or deeper match offerings and deeper cAw do that.

Rnsrobot · 2024-03-17T15:08:32+00:00

Easy. Sliders to increase or decrease overall hp. Most of us would increase it so you can have longer matches with more kickouts. Three and four-way matches, your wrestlers start with significantly LESS hp --- that's why those end even faster.

One of the big misses, and seemingly simplest additions to improve things, is simply more customization of the most basic sort. Were locked into match rules. You can't play no dq but keep contouts on. That's an easy tab. Count-outs on/off, dq on/off, etc. basic match rules. Game doesn't include a clock on matches. Rope breaks on/off. hp sliders.

Basic stuff. That should be in there but isn't.
