[Hasney]

Best OT in the world

Now we have news that the "15 year Career" is as short as shit too since there's only 3 PPVs of your choice a year.

EDIT: OH YEAH, should probably note in there that the season pass only includes the Showcase DLC packs and not the Moves, WCW or NXT ones. And buying that pass is the only way to get Paige. YAYYYYY

So your 15 year career only includes 45 PPVs? lol

 

[bjork]

I almost expected that Owen to be official after seeing the rest of the media for this.

 

[The Elite]

I wasn't expecting an OT, but sure.

Edit: You need to mark that the reviews so far are for last gen.

Edit 2: The Match Types in the OT aren't the same for Next Gen/Last Gen.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Holy shit! LOL!

 

[TommyTosser]

Those in-game CM Punk gifs look awful.

 

[Hasney]

Holy shit! LOL!

Cannot wait for New Legacy Inc to get their hands on this.

 

[Regeneratin' Degenerate]

Will pick it up when its cheap as chips

 

[VE3TRO]

WTF is this.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Getting super psyched for WWE 2K16 now.

 

[FDC1]

You should mention in the OT if the reviews are for last gen or current gen versions.

 

[Hasney]

You should mention in the OT if the reviews are for last gen or current gen versions.

Good point. We wouldn't want the current generation review scores to be inflated by those last gen ones.

 

[The Elite]

WTF is this.

It's a create a wrestler from PS3 of Owen Hart. Not sure why it's in there.

 

[Aiii]

WTF is this.

Something that is going to thoroughly piss off Bruce Hart, I'm sure.

 

[Vylash]

You should mention in the OT if the reviews are for last gen or current gen versions.

yeah i'll edit, they're all last gen, there aren't any next gen reviews so either a launch day embargo or nobody cares

 

[Hasney]

yeah i'll edit, they're all last gen, there aren't any next gen reviews so either a launch day embargo or nobody cares

2k confirmed a release day embargo of midnight on the 18th. I WONDER WHY.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

"Moves Pack: More than 30 new moves, including an alternate version of Sister Abigail (performed from the ring corner and made popular by Bray Wyatt) and Multiple Gut Wrenches (made popular by Cesaro);
The New Moves Pack will be available for a suggested price of $3.99."

Fucking eww. I'm so returning this game.

 

[Valentus]

Is this some new Psychic Wrestling mode?

That reviews are amazing lol

 

[Quentyn]

There are a couple of people streaming the PS4 version right now.

[THEAnderson21]

These .gifs man. Holy smokes.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

Sad I gave Yukes/2K the benefit of the doubt this has been a massive clusterfuck.

 

[The Elite]

This OT has an obvious bias to shit on the game. I acknowledge its problems but I've been watching some really good matches from the game all weekend.

You throw some bad gifs in there and a bad Owen Hart CAW is the first thing people see.

I'm fine with stating the problems with the game, I think people need to make an informed decision on whether or not they purchase the game, but when the biggest images in your OT are meant to make the game look like shit it's not too hard to imagine how the thread will turn out.

 

[Captain Star]

I always love seeing broke ass wrestling game .gifs. I'm sure this year's game will yield a wonderful crop.

 

[ShogunDarius]

I was hoping 2k would save this franchise not make it worse, so disappointed

 

[Foffy]

Dat OT. I had a hard fucking laugh at just the title, knowing the mess the game is.

Can't wait for reviews. This series is literally like John Cena, so it's amazingly fitting they lined the game so firmly on his image.

Same old shit. Now with less. ):

 

[Kane1345]

I reckon WWE 2K16 will be a great game

Spoiler

assuming the stamina system comes back and they put back all the modes

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

 

[The Elite]

New Match Types in the OT isn't correct. Those just show up in 2k Showcase.

 

[Foffy]

New Match Types in the OT isn't correct. Those just show up in 2k Showcase.

It should be mentioned that those matches are missing from Exhibition, as some show up in some Showcases.

Maybe even Universe mode, but I don't even know if they took that out, too.

 

[Son Of D]

I do wonder how the game would have turned out if they got the extra few months they wanted which would let this release during Wrestlemania season.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Holy shit! LOL!

LOL

 

[atomsk]

Going to feel dirty picking this up at full price on launch... but WWE games are the highest viewed videos on my youtube channel... so it'll make back the money it cost me pretty quickly.

 

[Zombine]

I'm pretty sure that CM Punk is just Rio with tattoos and some facial hair.

 

[captainraincoat]

Best OT in the world

the only way to get Paige. YAYYYYY

Sort of looks like Jesus from the Big Lebowski
Good OT Op

 

[friskykillface]

haha ready for the glitches

i don't think i get sting dlc with my hulkamania edition from amazon 0_O, its not advertised on the page ,hmmmmmm

You do, it's in the box that they showed.

 

[Alienous]

"It's a shitty next-gen port, Austin. It was a shitty next-gen port all along "

 

[HT UK]

Love the OT.

 

[Hasney]

Decided to watch some Universe videos. First match I came across was a submission match... Guess they'll be booked more than anything again.

 

[Camisado]

Ummm, sorry I'm pretty out of date with my wrestling knowledge nowadays but can someone please explain this to me? Is this a bug? orrrr a call back to some really weird wrestling 'magic'?

 

[Garou]

Most likely the referee was supposed to pass the title instead of just standing there.

 

[Hasney]

Most likely the referee was supposed to pass the title instead of just standing there.

Yeah, what actually happened is the ref pulls it out of his hands and gives it to Punk.

 

[stump sock]

oh my god...

 

[DryvBy]

Sad I had to pass but I figured this was going to be the case. Maybe next year, WWE!

 

[gunstarhero]

I can hear HHH's voice everytime I read the thread title.

Good job OP!

 

[The Elite]

It should be mentioned that those matches are missing from Exhibition, as some show up in some Showcases.

Maybe even Universe mode, but I don't even know if they took that out, too.

Universe Mode is in as well, maybe the OP needs to add that as well.

 

[kamandi]

I have a bad feeling that this game will receive similar reactions like UFC.

 

[Camisado]

Ahh thank god, I was worried for a second that Wrestling had gone to some really weird places since I stopped watching.
