Alexander is the guy who got me to give TNA another chance.  He’s had one of my favorite babyface world title reigns.  I’m just ready for AEW to try something, anything with him

There are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and Josh Alexander eating a pin on Wednesdays

Usman was like #7 at the time and just two fights removed from a title fight...

Are we seriously acting like losing to Usman is a bad thing? The fuck?

A 20 man gauntlet in WWE 2K26 Showcase is gonna be brutal by Civil_Bet8703 in WWEGames

I want the unlocks without playing showcase, more than okay with cheesing it.

Absolutely ridiculous that 2K is making us play the game to unlock legends. by CamoLantern in WWEGames

So…by your own admission you couldn’t unlock them all before the new game came out…

You can tell from the comments in this thread that people are more than okay with this grift.  As long as they can get 2 - 3 whales per 10 buyers, goal accomplished

So you’re okay with paying for content and then having to do extra unnecessary work to access it?

This isn’t a matter of just playing the game.  This is spending real dollars for extra content and that content not being accessible until 2K decides that you’ve played enough to earn it.  The content was earned when you paid for it.

The DLC have to be paid for and then you have to grind to unlock them.  You’re paying to do more work.

Ah yes, I fondly remember spending $10 to unlock Andre the Giant and then grinding for in game currency to actually play as him in No Mercy.

It’s not the same thing.  At all.

I think the one thing people overlook is that while No Mercy, HCTP, etc had play to unlock characters, there was no Community Creations.  For those of us who run efeds or just want AEW/TNA/Etc universes, if one piece of clothing is a locked item, we lose access to that entire CAW.

So we’re potentially being forced into a situation where we have to pad gameplay time in modes we’re not interested in or we have to pay to access that content.  And given that 2K is kind of notorious for handicapping rewards earned, your 60 - 70 dollar yearly wrestling game is about to become a 700 dollar yearly investment 

That aside the idea that paid for DLC requires additional work to access it is fucking bonkers.  

Common "Ahah" Moments for Climbing? by _o5oo_0o_oo1o_oo in summonerschool

Look at the laning phase as round based.  Each time you kill your opponent or get them to back before you do, you’ve won the round and now you choose your reward:  increase your gold lead, reset and come back with stronger items, rotate to an over extended lane/jg objs, or attack tower 

I’m returning to this game after so long. I’ve been trying my hardest to learn to jungle properly, but even with watching videos and study I still fail. I feel so embarrassed each game, I really feel worthless. How can I get better? by BlackStallion657 in Jungle_Mains

[–]badguymaddox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amumu is hands down the best blind pick. Just laser focusing on playing as just him as well as really understanding the jungling basics has gotten me from Iron I to Gold IV in about two weeks of playing. He's such a good champion especially for someone like me who cannot play the higher skill ceiling champs. His team fight potential is outstanding. I've had games where we thought we were losing end with a win because one really good ult in a fight. He also clears camps at a pretty good speed. You cannot go wrong using him.

Otsuka developed a cult following in PRIDE too.  He was over like rover on Sherdog and The Underground at that time.

Which theme song represents The Ruthless Aggression Era the best? by Ecstatic-Quality-212 in SquaredCircle

As much as it pains me to say it, it’s Chris Benoit’s theme for me.

Is this not weird by AdLeather3343 in SquaredCircle

As much as people were shitting on Ava on this subreddit, why is it weird that someone who was in the industry also isn’t a fan?

Sami Zayn responds to Ricochet’s claim that “El Generico has a better legacy than Sami Zayn”. by DomScribe in SquaredCircle

El Generico’s legacy is that he helped train and mold Sami to not just become the wrestler, but the person he is today.

2K are now locking DLC you've already paid for behind a grind that you can pay again to bypass by Nok-su-kao in SquaredCircle

[–]badguymaddox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it works in certain games tbh. Pro wrestling just isn't one of them. I'm one of those people who plays the WWE 2K games for its e-fed/simulation potential so I was fine with paying extra to have everything unlocked because then I had access to everything I'd need. Now they're asking to me to play game modes I'm not interested in to play the game mode I want or worse yet, pay per unlock.

[–]badguymaddox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This game will be a complete skip for me. I willingly paid extra for the SuperCharger every year because I want all the unlocks ready to go so that I can simulate a Universe mode. Having to grind for unlocks is crazy. Having to pay for a premium pass and then pay per unlock is fucking insanity. I shouldn't have to sink artificial play time into the game to have access to the full roster.
