Yeah I wish they had a way to get a specific character. Like let me pay 2x as much cash or tokens so I can get a Luke Harper or whoever. Also wish there was a lower chance to get guys you already have, I swear something like half of my token boxes have been for Cesaro.

is there a wwe champion tier list because I got cena at 2* silver but I pulled a bubba Ray at the same rarity and I'm not sure who I should be investing in. cenas 3 initial moves have good synergy and do good damage but bubba got protect gems and those seem strong

also bubba is attitude era which is needed for a couple things so maybe that's another in his favor

Here's a tier list from Reddit. It's funny how some of the best characters are the free ones.

So I did a stupid thing and decided to buy the $9.99 Shane McMahon thing awhile back.

But with the money I've been getting, I finally have a proper tag team after getting stardust like 3 times.

It's an interesting combo. I'll usually throw out bubba first because he has protect gems. I'll only take 1 damage a turn once that gets going. Then bring in D-von to clean up. His finisher takes so much to charge up though.

I also got the prime time players for my free pulls during the campaign. Not sure if I want to invest in enhancing them though now that I have 2*s

Did they nerf NXT Rollins a little bit? I recall him being able to change three gems at one point instead of two.

2 and 4 are the best, though I liked them all.

Really, though, there's little reason to play through them all as they're very samey. Just play 4 and you're good to go.

Uncharted is the happy medium between Metal Gear Solid/Soul Reaver levels of characters chattering constantly and mindless action games.

I am still not through Uncharted 1 in that collection but it's a solidly great game by 2007 standards, with some scenery work that still holds up.

Boy howdy I have murdered a lot of goons though. So many loving goons.

There is a point where cinematic story telling conflicts with gameplay and uncharted is basically right at that point for me. They are trying to tell this Indiana Jones style light hearted action adventure with a snarky hero and his on again off again girlfriend but his kill count approaches the level of minor wars. They were all pretty fun to play though, the first one being something of a slog though even when it came out.

I just noticed a big update to Champions. The rewards from VS Mode are now much more generous. Even the lowest ranks give a lot of tokens. Getting into Lightweight League (which shouldn't be too hard for most folks) nets you two 2* tokens and eight to nine 1* tokens.

Yeah, later enemies in Uncharted 1 are bullet-sponges without them trimming down the amount of baddies to account for how much longer each is likely to stick around.

This may or may not be correct.

I can't speak on the older games, but my approach to Uncharted 4 was to stealth kill everything whenever possible in freeform encounters and run 'n' gun like a madman in forced encounters. The AI is pretty decent at flanking so sticking to cover for too long can be a death sentence.

Persona 5 is amazing.

Nah, that's basically the way to play every one after 2, and The Last Of Us as well.

For anyone who bounced off of Champions, it feels like they've seriously fixed drop rates. I'm getting 2* and 3* tokens dropping from breaking boxes in game with far more frequency (still not super often, but even at all is a big improvement).

Help, I've been playing 2k17 for Ps4 for a couple weeks and I'm a big dumb idiot who doesn't understand the new pinning system. Like, it's impossible for me to kick out.

Ever play golf games? Pretty much the same mechanic as most of them. Just press the button when the ball or whatever is in the shaded part.

EDIT - Forget the ball thing, I haven't played in ages I was thinking of previous years. But to kick out you have to press your button when the meter fills up to the shaded area. It's all timing, no button mashing. If your wrestler has one of the attributes (I wanna say "resilience" but, again, it's been a while), you can press another button during a pin to make the kick out target area on the meter larger so it's easier to hit. You can only use that once per match, IIRC.

You can also upgrade resilience to do it twice in a match if your playing MyCareer. But yeah, just press X when the icon swings into the green (yellow?) area.

Green most of the time, it's yellow when the pin is a cradle or something that could be reversed into your own pin, because then there's also a very narrow green bit that if you hit, causes the reversal.

Got another good pull with Trickster Ambrose. I nearly doubled my 2* bronze count in a day.

Also, someone made a website for the game. It's in progress, but you get to see some unreleased characters.

lol Striker Rollins + Trickster Ambrose is like the best combo because both are ridiculously good cards + the tag bonus of additional damage from the Shield make Rollins obliterate everything with Gray gems

This is the first match-three game I've ever played where getting a cascade is actually a bad thing. I've lost count of the number of times I've got an easily-kicked-out-of rollup and handed the turn to the opponent while having enough power to hit my own finisher.

Yep. I've had extra turns stacked up but woah, wait buddy you gotta go for that 600 point schoolboy. An option to go for the pin would be nice, might add some strategy.

They've added some really cool characters lately that I know I'll never get so that's just loving awesome. Samoa Joe and regular Finn have their actual moves! But no I'm stuck with COO HHH who uses diamond cutter and chokehold.

(HHH really is a beast though, his black gems hit for over 1000 each at level 50)
