Johnny is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all bangers

Never played TNA, but played the same engine based AAA game. It was janktastic, but also fantastic. Fighting for the title of Senor Mega-Championship was the best.

I remember the TNA game having great models and good animations but everything else was terrible. like how did this get out of QA phase terrible.
The TNA game was developed by an on-their-last-legs Midway using Unreal Engine 3, which they'd already put through its paces a good deal on games like Stranglehold. They had the skills to make it look great, but not the time or money to make the actual game bit not suck.

So, pretty fitting, then.

It's really funny booting up a 90s-era WCW mod in TEW and trying to wrangle it's huge roster. There are always like 30 guys I had no idea were even in WCW, and a ton of big names I barely remember being used.

It's a pretty true-to-life experience of trying to manage the bloated excess of WCW.

Oh yeah I'm not complaining. It's fun to book WCW for a while because you have so much talent that they never actually took advantage of in real life

Edit: I love when you load a mod and the stats are set up in a way where, for example, "Cowboy" Bob Orton can't pull off a Cowboy gimmick.

OK, I haven't had much difficulty finding matches in 2k16, but I have found two annoying things with playing pubbies in ranked: OP CAWs, which I suppose is always a risk or you'll get them bitching about not being able to use their max stamina/5 reversal/springboard/superheavy guy; and guys who care so much about getting a win on their W/L sheet that they'll just stand outside to the 9 count, until you chase and then spam their fastest move until you're down long enough that they can get the count out win.

On the other hand, I just had a really epic one with a dude playing as Ministry Taker, and I was demon Balor. He reversed the Bloody Sunday and the Coup de Grace about 3 times, and I countered the chokeslam more than that, as well as a handful of nicely clutch reversals into the slingblade and Pele kick, and kicked out of 2 tombstones at 2.999. Third tombstone was too much for the demon king, sadly.

I don't know how you guys can torture yourself playing online. I bet it's great if you have some trusted friends, but pubbies must be hell. It's interesting to see human tactics in each game, this year being stomp-attacks-to-waste-reversals.

That tactic is actually balanced around. If you try and do more than 3 stomps or moves on a prone opponent, they automatically counter without using a charge.

I've never shopped on Black Friday weekend before, so I have a dumb question: if I want to pick up a cheap copy of 2k16 from Amazon or Best Buy's site during that weekend, will it be like a flash sale deal where I ought to be up at 6 AM on Friday with my credit card in hand? Or will it last the whole day/weekend?

Oh that's cool, I always thought the AI always reversed after 3 'just cause'. I do love that they made floor stomps much quicker this year, very satisfying addition.

Amazon usually does a lightning deal at a specific time, and you have to add them to your cart before someone else does, and you get 15 minutes or so to check out.

The Terminator (2) is the 2017 KOTR after a simulated gauntlet that saw him defeat Apollo Crews in the final (Hideo vs. Crews and Nakamura vs. Terminator were the semis). It's confusing, strange and wonderful that they refer to Arnold and his stint as CA governor while also keeping kayfabe with his status as an unstoppable robot from the future. That's a reality era I can get behind.

Indeed friend. Every new WWE game I play every year is 'ok'. 2k16 is even 'pretty ok'. Maybe even as good as King of Collosseum. But every year I get annoyed at various issues either in glitches or match pacing and just ask myself why I'm not just playing FPR with an updated roster file for the year as it just hasn't been topped yet. The perfect sim. Wrestling Madden, if yew wiiiiill.

2k16 is on sale for Gold members on Xbox One. $45 for base game, $60 for game and all DLC (including the MyPlayer career boost).

The base game is going to be $30 - $35 at several stores on Black Friday, but I'm willing to pay a $10 premium to avoid Black Friday bullshit and have a digital copy.
