the story is bad comedy through and through and involves your characters going to bret harts house to try and train in the dungeon only they go to the wrong house and the owner makes fun of the characters. also the rock is the US president but the female PC voted for glenn jacobs

the owner of the house actually plays along for a second and says "great, Bret will be here in a minute" before revealing that actually the Harts haven't lived there for ages and she was just loving with you because you're so dumb you just put "where does Bret Hart live" into google maps and then just followed the directions

My favorite part of the future in that career mode is that they just assume WWE continues to add LEDs to everything and makes the Wresltemania 2029 arena have LED barricades

im watching a live stream of the story mode and the female playable character is an absolute delusional nutjob who is completely detached from reality. she attempts (poorly) to use the male characters dead parents and the fact that he's adopted to manipulate him into going to wrestling school.

it really is a wwe game.

They could have fuckin went for it with the future stuff, 60 year old Triple H returning as a full-time in-ring competitor for some reason, unstoppable megastar champion Humberto Carrillo. But i'm sure they didn't

Your promoter friend being a weird piece of poo poo who tries to sabotage your career is probably the realest thing in a wrestling game next that one Fire Pro where all your friends die and you blow your brains out at the end.

Since Chikara AAW was on sale for like $13.50 and I like the company, I went ahead and bought it. Put about an hour into it and the CAW today.

- It's SUPER buggy. There are inoffensive UI glitches but also some stuff that makes CAW hard to use (you can save colors to reuse, but I couldn't ever access my saved colors). Also had a glitch where during a 3-way dance, my character just lost the ability to play. He got laid out and never moved again, but the other two CPU opponents thought he was active and got into a weird gameplay loop where they would try to finish each other but wanted to take me out too but couldn't interact with me so they just stood around.

-The art style is fun and I think it's a nice mix between WWE's lovely realism and FPW's retro graphics.

-The gameplay is exactly what it says: arcade. There are no pinning combo moves (that I saw). There are no reversals. There is one standard way to do your one submission move. It plays like a beat-em-up but with strikes, grapples, top rope moves, and finishers. This is NOT a sim like FPW or even WWE. As far as I could tell, none of the wrestlers played differently, they all move at the same speed and have the same AI.

It's fast-paced and colorful and silly (I electrocuted someone once). I think this will be a fun online fuckaround game once all the weird CAWs get created (I already have Pacman, a Suplex Robot, and a ninja turtle). I can see some fun battle royales happening. It's a little disappointing that it's not more wrestle-y but to be fair, it never promised that.

If this is the "finished product" with no major patches, it will be a pretty janky mess. But if they steadily fix the bugs and glitches, I think it could be a chill way to piledrive fools dressed as Joe Biden or whatever.

From what I understand, they're going about it the same way as the latest Fire Pro. Fix it up and work on it over time, then when they have a product they're happy enough with they'll release it on consoles.

Well I had preordered this game, but given how the overwhelming response from the previews even from the WWE2k fanboys seems to be "it sucks", I'll grab it on sale at some point in the future just to play through MyCareer or something. IF they patch in CAC.
