I don't know if this is better or worse than allowing the player the fantasy trip of working hard, doing your job, and making it to the top of the WWE universe. Don't fill people's heads with nonsense of meritocracy and the hope of living out your dreams. Show them the cruel reality. Nothing matters, meritocracy is a lie and no matter how hard you work to hone your craft you're gonna get hosed over in the end.

If this disillusions one person I'd consider it worthwhile.

One thing to consider about 2K is that when a publisher fires a studio for not producing a game up to snuff, that game is typically shitcanned, not released

Apparently Twitch is holding a tournament of 2k20.

For $50k.

And desync is resulting in matches where both players win.

Ember Moon was on Denk's team and started to say there'd be a rematch and then an unknown person over her psn mic was like "I think that's gonna be it", and then Ember and Goldenboy just disappeared leaving Denk and Pulse completely confused.

I wonder why Twitch even set this up? Like, the desynch thing has been a known issue with the WWE games for a while, there was no reason to think they'd fix it this year, AND that's without all the other glitches.

They probably organized it long before the game turned into a poo poo show, based on lies told to them by Producers who were encouraged to lie.

It made Chris Denker, one of the most vocal and present critics of the game, $15k. And Pulse, maybe second behind Denker, $7k. So that's all the way hosed for probably the worst competitive game to watch on earth.

And the whole thing drew fewer viewers than NewLegacy's streams.

And I'd say it's cheaper than running ads but they've been all over the place.

speaking of newlegacy, their 2K20 career stream is some cringeworthy stuff, although it keeps nicely in WWE's tradition of babyfaces being made to look like total losers and geeks

Yeah if you're still morbidly curious and want to kill that really fast, it's here:

On top of the "your characters are made to look like total dorks" thing, it's just the most baffling presentation of a "career mode" I've ever seen. I honestly think 2k18's dull as dishwater "wander around backstage until HHH tells you to lose to Dolph Ziggler" approach is preferable to this.

These identical loading screens every two minutes really add to the story mode presentation. You get some nice quiet time to reflect on your life choices, just like our main characters are looking back at theirs.

Also, "It's not torture if you're paying for it" should be WWE's or 2K's new marketing slogan.

Giant Bomb's Quick Look is also really good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsNnOrjhVLs

Dan at 1:01:08 "I know all the hilarious stuff is all the glitches everyone's tweeting, but this game is mostly working as intended so far in this Quick Look [where they show off 1) part of the created-character story mode and 2) part of the 4 Horsewomen showcase], and it still loving sucks"

Other highlights that I've seen so far (I'm a little over an hour in):
5 minutes in Jeff loses it over how bad cover star Becky looks
Around 10:25 in Jeff loses it over how bad Dusty looks
20:55 in everyone loses it over how bad Savage looks
During the first match the gang tells Abby about WWE hating its fans and she's like "relatable"
37:05 Dan shows everyone the MyPlayer points tree/DNA helix, and it takes a full minute for everyone to recover from the sight

So I bought WWE2k19 for like $9 so I can make efed characters. And when I was heading out of the store, the security guy had to check it because I didn't have a receipt(because it was an online purchase pick-up), and the dude looked at it and said "Oh, good, you got last year's. This year's is a mess."

Even random Best Buy security guards know 2k20 is trash. Anyways.
W.A.V.E. Pro-Wrestling presents 2 Fast 2 Live 2 Young 2 Die!

In the main event, Koji Kojinaka defends the World Ultraweight Championship against Dracula! Dracula has been an... inconsistent competitor, with dominant wins against powerful foes but also shocking losses against seemingly lesser opponents. He seems to be on a roll at the moment, winning a one-night tournament to earn his title shot, but can he beat the best wrestler in the company?

After harassing random wrestlers and ruining a bunch of matches, Da B0N3b0YZ finally step into the ring, with Dad Bone facing Jimmy Stardust and Rad Bone and Chad Bone teaming against Broman Gains and Teresa Titan.

Months of furtive rooftop conversations and quiet investigations have as Arnita Shen and Busta Cranium have uncovered that Lou Ban is an international criminal in hiding. Also Arnita and Busta are undercover Interpol agents. It's been a busy month. Lou Ban and Johnny X will face Busta Cranium and Arnita Shen in a no-DQ tornado tag match. If Arnita & Busta win, Lou and Johnny face justice, if Lou & Johnny win, they get to walk.

Also on the show, Tamika Johnson defends the Trans-AM championship against Edwin Encarnacion, and The Smootheboiz defend the World Tag titles against Gran Gallo & Gran Gordo Gacho.

Wait, Goldenboy? As in 'AEW PPV announcer' Goldenboy? Like, I know 2K wouldn't give a poo poo, but I'd have thought WWE wouldn't want him anywhere near their product.
