I've got SR Pro Andre, Mark Henry, Big Show and UR (non pro) Big show with the Paige SR Pro and mine barely tips Epic. (just checking because I was pretty sure roughly what I had before). ONe of those dudes is sandbagging you at least. I know the Sandow is not the best card in the UR tier, you'd be better off maxing out something with a little more rating power.

Never made it into the contender's bracket for a UR KoTR, placed fourth in my current Epic KoTR, thinking I might be able to swing quarter finals and score a UR support card. Here's hoping.

I have received 4 UR drops since my initial one. 2 were support cards. For point of reference I'm at about 4000 games.

Ugh. Won my Epic KOTR, got a pair of AJ Lee's. Inferior in every way to my current Epic Pro Naomi, which is the best possible epic diva. Oh well. Another two days.

Well good job 2K and WWE, making GBS threads on the good will the next-gen version of 2K15 was building up by making a key wrestler as a stupid DLC exclusive.

Making a desired but not essential character DLC seems like a smart marketing move to me. The people who want Paige will pay for her. Or will she be the free compatibility DLC?

You have a pretty weird definition of essential, dude. You should expect a game to come with the most important current wrestlers as standard.

Day-one DLC is something people (weakly) fought against and lost several years ago. It's also a good way of disincentivizing second-hand sale. You'll still be paying 2K pretty good money even if you wait for a retail price drop / Buy it used, provided you want everyone. DLC is welded to profiles, not discs

Is anyone else having problems with match load times for Supercard? Since sometime last night, it's taken about 30 seconds to go from picking my opponent to the start of the match.

DLC is welded to profiles, not discs This seems to be tied to the season pass rather than as a buy new incentive, though. Demanding people buy all the DLC before it's even announced upfront for a character that should be standard is pretty bad even by current standards.

The 'Season Pass' model exists because publishers do not expect people will want to buy all the DLC anyway, so the 'discount' it includes doesn't actually impact their projected revenue and they get more money faster than if everybody bought the few pieces of DLC they want as they're released. Selling four things for the price of three is better than people only buying two. Just like pre-orders, it is a system which only benefits the publisher and is of no value to the consumer, unless holding content to ransom can be considered value. Holding back a character who can easily be argued to be critical as part of that Season Pass is simply additional strongarming to further guarantee additional revenue for the publisher. It's a filthy tactic and definitely is a new low, but even if Paige was part of the regular roster, any Season Pass system is a dirty practice. But yes, it completely works. Just like they get away with reskinning the same tired game every year, just as MMO games still get away with inflated subscription models and the same way fighting games can be re-released over and over with increasing 'Ultra' editions for the lifespan of a hardware generation. There are so few alternatives available to consumers, publishers can force just about anything they wish. WWE2k15 will be a top-seller, I hear pre-order numbers are already the highest they've been in years and the Season Pass will be bought by almost everybody. We can scream 'til we're blue in the face, but utlimately if we want to play the game we've got to take all their bullshit. The days of unlocking things by completing tasks within a game are long gone. We pay up or we get an inferior game, those are our options. Bhester posted:Or will she be the free compatibility DLC? Sting may be made available later, as Ultimate Warrior was. They mostly have to do this because they can't secure the same pre-order bonuses and systems in every region. There's no way Paige will be made available any other way, though. The Outsiders were never put out other than as part of the Season Pass, though we did get Virgil for free! Skunkrocker posted:Not essential multi time Divas champion. And on every PPV since her debut. And is one of their primary meet-n-greet/touring attractions. And who has more merchandise than most of the male roster. I mean okay, sure, I'm biased as all gently caress, but it really is bizarre to think somebody that prominent in the product isn't essential. pressedbunny fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Oct 8, 2014 |

If they're going big on the NXT stuff, she was the biggest thing in the women's division there by several leagues.

IcePhoenix posted:Basically yeah. Pretty much. I hate it as much, if not more than most people, but the women are NOT a major selling point of these games, nor of the product in general. I believe that should change, but right now, most people don't give a poo poo if Paige is in the game or not. Hell, a big portion of their customer base probably barely notices if AJ is in the game, and makes fun of anyone who plays as the girls.

I started using Divas in either HCTP or the first SvR, whichever one it was where you had to beat Khali with a Diva or something like that to unlock some stuff, and then in the season mode too you either had to play as a Diva or get one as your manager or something... I forget the details, but that got me started with Divas and I've kept using 'em ever since. It makes the game more interesting than using OVR100, black-tribal bullshit CAWs flinging out Stunners as regular moves. Much less of a cakewalk, given how lovely the AI is even on the hardest difficulties. ... Though in this case I just like Paige a whole lot and am pissed they've found a way to make season passes even more sleazy. And hell, 2K must think enough people will want her if they're using her as the primary incentive to buy the season pass. They don't pick that sort of thing at random, they go for stuff they know people will want and feel forced to buy.

If they allowed men and women to fight each other, people would use the Divas a hell of a lot more often. As it is now, you have a choice of maybe seven or eight opponents if you want to play as a female, compared to fifty or sixty as a male.

In other news, I deleted Supercard earlier today. I couldn't stand the monotony anymore. I'm glad you folks like the game so much, I just can't do it.

Has anyone successfully working on Bluestacks? I'm having a problem syncing it with my Google+ account. I'd really like to play this game on my PC so I don't murder my phone battery.

Yeah, I started using the Divas more in Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 because you could beat up Batista or whoever with them and it made the game more challenging and also pretty funny.

Skunkrocker posted:I thought about doing that. Had to download a few to fill out the roster, and while in 2k14 you can finally have a Women's title be the major belt (2k13 you couldn't), you can still only have three titles (Major, Tag, Diva). The minor title spot can only be filled with a men's title.
