Popular Post NewAgeOutlaw17 Posted July 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2021 Legitimately the worst I have played in recent memory. It looked like crap but since it is free this month I figured I would give it a go and get a quick 100%... This wasn't worth it. The character models look stupid, the campaign sucks as it makes you play as generic, stupid, dull-ass created wrestlers rather than WWE wrestlers I am sure most of us would rather play with, the gameplay sucks, and to top it all off I have been stuck at the last match in the campaign for almost an hour as there is a glitch that keeps causing me to teleport out of the ring at random when I eliminate other wrestlers in the royal rumble. If you were thinking about giving this a go, my advice is find anything else to do, this game sucks complete ass. 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizzora2 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) I wouldn’t say it’s the worst WWE game, yes the game is a total micro-transaction hell but as a WWE fan it’s not that bad. Sure the controls sucks ass but you’ll get used to it. I had no idea what I was doing until I just started to learn how to cheese opponents online and I won a tournament. I would say the game is not worth for its original price but because it’s for free, give it a go. If you like WWE All Stars, you might like it. I give it a 6/10 just because there have been worse games cough cough WWE2K15 and 20 Edited July 9, 2021 by Drizzora 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Tenno777 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) Game is not very good. I just played it earlier today, I played a bit of the campaign, and it is not good. Superstars fells very identical to each other and there are time savers for Wrestlers which is just there to encourage you to spend money on microtransactions. Although grinding them out isnt bad, just the gameplay is boring with just generic power ups. And once you grabbed up everything in the Campaign and the trophies, there is just boredom to be had with the game. A plus side, it is not as buggy as it was in 2K20, if anyone remembers that game.

agorazUHD Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I was surprised that they actually put a WWE game on the PS+ line-up in the first place. With all the talk of it being rather crummy, I'm starting to understand now why it was free... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post You Posted July 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2021 Recently, putting crappy games on PS+ and good games on PSNow. Seems like a subtle business decision to me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb5f Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 The game is fine for what it is. An arcade style wrestler that was never a full priced game. I had some enjoyment progressing through the campaign and unlocking superstars of years past, namely the Nature Boy Ric Flair. Wooooo! Micro-transactions are a option in most games. Definitely not needed. You’ll get plenty of credits doing daily challenges, most of which take less than 5 minutes to complete. Not the deepest game by any means (never intended for that), but an easy and straight-forward 100%. Similar to what NBA Playgrounds is to 2K. A change of pace. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micro-transactions are the shittiest idea to have ever been invented in the gaming world. Game mechanics have to be purposely broken for them to exist. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Property_Damage Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I watched a brief review on it for the nintendo switch version some time ago so i kinda already had the idea ahead of time to skip this Its just a cash grab with a WWE logo slapped on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
de-jame-solo Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 In my opinion the first four months of this year were good, after that they gave only crap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whassupbun Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I happen to love the character models and art direction, WWE All Stars was one of my favorite wrestling games and I really dig the exaggerated, cartoonish designs here. Gameplay wise, yes it's not very deep, fairly mediocre and monotonous, but it's functional, it's not broken or non-responsive, there are far worse wrestling games out there. I play a few quick matches for 30 minutes every day over my lunch break and it's been fun so far. It's a "switch off your brain and just have fun" type of game. But if you are looking for something more, I can see how you might be disappointed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiCBZ Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I haven't played it but I am sure it was supposed to be a mobile game, that was ported to console because WWE 2K21 got cancelled since WWE 2K20 was met with negative reception. So yeah, not surprised it's not a good game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maahniac Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) I've actually had more fun with it than I've had with the sterile and bloated 2K series. That series has somehow achieved sucking out all of the fun of playing wrestling games (except their Create-a-Superstar modes, which are still amazing). I prefer Arcade-style wrestling games, and never quite understod why everything was taken in the Simulation-direction to begin with. Sure, the graphics are childish, and the gameplay is rather shallow, but I think it's a fun little game. And I actually like the graphics. I prefer a simplistic graphical style over the absolutely terrible models we've been getting in the 2K series, which are supposed to look more realistic and life-like, but just always look like they are (at least) one generation behind.

I beg to differ regarding the game being functional when several people have experienced the glitch that teleports you out of the ring in the royal rumble. That is pretty broken and non-functioning. As far as looking for something more and being disappointed, that is not true in my case either as I already thought this looked bad and only gave it a try because it was free. It was even worse than I thought it would be. But if you can get enjoyment out of the game it's all good. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

saiyanbloodstyle Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 There's a reason why it's on plus, the game is pretty bad but not the worst game i've played, you'd be surprised at what games are out there, battlegrounds would be a 10/10 compared to those lol.

Popular Post JiII-Valentine-- Posted July 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) It's my first WWE game and I love it so much (never watched the show). I was surprised when I saw so many negative comments online about this game. The fact they have a female roster is amazing. It was the main reason why I tried this game in the first place. I finished a 30 player royal rumble on normal and it was so satisfying to see that trophy pop. However, I did experience frame drops. To fix it, I paused the game and waited a few seconds then resumed playing. As for the microtransactions, everything can be unlocked by playing the game, which I appreciated. I'm now interested in seeing what the other WWE games are like. Edited July 9, 2021 by JiII-Valentine-- 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yowzagabowza Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I have this downloaded and will try it on an alt account to see if it's worth actually playing. I enjoy arcade wrestling more than simulation and I don't really care about the character models. They look dumb but kind of better than the ugly ones 2K has been using, since those are supposed to be life-like. Not using a Superstar for the career is very stupid, though.

yellowwindow7 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 thank God I stop caring and most importantly I stop buying or playing wrestling games, the last ones I ever played was WWF Smackdown! on the ps1 and Def Jam Vendetta on the ps2, since then I never touched this genre of games ever since and even stopped watch WWE all together.

Cryogenicide_X Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Absolutely agree with you. I Absolutely hated this game, the worse game I've ever played in my life. I just wanted to smash my controller the entire time and just get this done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the game is not very good, but it's not horrible. Yeah, it is a pedestrian 6 or 7 out of 10. Nothing amazing or deep but fine for what it is. I had a similar experience playing Maneater. And fans of wrestling (past or present) should get a kick out of it. I also had frame rate drops when you have a Royal Rumble or lots in the ring in the same time. Honestly, sounds like several of the people really railing on it are those struggling and worried they won’t be able to get 100%. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the game is not very good, but it's not horrible. Absolutely. And just in case anyone's worried about bias because of my username, I don't actually watch or follow wrestling and the name comes from a community in-joke (though I did enjoy the attitude era casually in my younger years) This game is a simple little affair, it's not deep and it's not something you're going to plough hundreds of hours in or make it on any of your 'best games' lists but it's honestly not bad either. With my growing backlog usually these kind of games get a pass from me because I have too many bigger and better games still to play but sometimes some of these games just hit the spot and offer a nice change of pace. I've had a handful of frame drops, though I haven't tackled the large royal rumble yet so I can't comment on that but the story rumbles have had no issues so far. For people to think of this as the worst game they've ever played must be hyperbole, either that or someone who hasn't played many games. The micros and general modern day way of unlocking stuff is... annoying to see as always, but, at least it's not all too bad. I haven't bought any characters yet and I've just been slowly going through the story but I can already buy a lot of the most expensive wrestlers through that amount of natural play. Sure, to buy ALL the wrestlers it might take a fair amount of time (I don't know yet) but who cares about the nobodies, I'll get The Rock, Stone Cold, Kane, Flair etc. (Y'know, the ones people actually know or care about ) and my favourite The Undertaker is unlocked from the start anyways. Besides, as I say, this game isn't deep. Most wrestlers will play the same so it's mostly just the cosmetic of having your favourites, there's no real point to unlock everyone like you may want from a typical wrestling game. That sounds like a plus and a negative rolled into one lol 'hey don't worry you don't need to buy them because they're worthless' but I think it's fine for what this game is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentSmiz Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 If this is genuinely the worst game that some people have played, then I envy them. Hell, it's not even the worst wrestling game I've ever played *glares at 2k15* Don't think it's worth the normal price of £34.99 and the premium currency/microtransactions-in-a-non-F2P-game are as scumbaggy as ever but I can't stay mad at a game that lets me through Hulk Hogan into the mouth of an alligator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ_Radio Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I don't touch the sport titles 2K develops and publishes. This is just another pass for me. As for the product itself, WWE is now just a shadow of what it used to be. The PG generation that started with Linda McMahon's failed political campaign in 2008 did much to ruin the product. Suddenly there was a generation of kids who were big John Cena fans, certainly nothing like the epic matchups of The Rock vs Stone Cold Steve Austin that I grew up watching. Legends of Wrestlemania is probably the only WWE game I will ever have on my list. Most of everything post 2010 - 2012 is garbage. I tried watching WWE here and there, but I couldn't stand the bad writing. WWE's response to the whole COVID-19 pandemic last year further cemented my strong dislike for the product. It needs new management and new ideas, otherwise it's just going to fade into a memory. Other professional wrestling outlets have actually done a much better job in entertaining their audience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post zid2016 Posted July 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) It's not terrible as people are making it out to be. 30 man royal rumble on medium or hard difficulty and hell in a cell matches are fun and challenging. Certainly not worth the full price but for title that's in ps now an ps plus, it's ok game to put some hours in if you like wwe.
