"I have a cool idea but I just need a developer to make it for me": The Game.
Kenny Omega went "I want a new version of No Mercy" without understanding what made No Mercy good in the same way Halo killers tried to be Halo without understanding Halo.
They released a wrestling game in 2023 with no content. This article give a good overview but here's a summary: >release game >Roster is immediately outdated, main campaign gets old after two play thoughts, and there's only like 6 different match types you can have (there's also match types that you can only do in story mode and not in exhibition) >No iconic shit like coffin matches or cage matches >Little customization when creating a wrestler >Bugs >Online is broken, bad, and easily cheesed. Rage quitters don't get penalized >No crossplay despite getting hinted at >Only 3 (three!) unlockable outfits for the main roster
So the game releases with day 1 dlc. The second dlc has a release date of 7/25 on the switch. There are leaks about a potential battle royal mode. Then, THQN releases a trailer saying this mode is coming soon. People like Kenny Omega and PR for THQN say that the future looks great for this game and imply a ton of content is coming.
Fast forward to 7/25. The only update ever released is a hot fix for PS4 users. Thqn goes "uhhhhhh sweetie that wasn't an official release date. You shouldn't have trusted that."
Fast forward another month and nothing. No updates, no content, no dlc, no road map, no communication from anyone about this game. In the meantime, modders have figured out how to add custom wrestlers, match types, and adjust health stats so that matches last longer. The PR guy for thq keeps going "oh guys, you'll get something soon!" And then nothing. The game is starved for content and the devs aren't doing shit about it. There's probably going to be a small bug patch in a month or so and that will be the final nail in the coffin.
Damn, I guess they took the "make it like No Mercy" comment a little too literally, or Omega was absolutely autistic about it (which I can believe since he's a control freak).
That sounds like a shitshow though. Are AEW fans calling out THQ hard enough about this?
I fricking wish. No mercy had more options and content than this game. And yes, the aew games discord has been filled with pissed off fans

lol, that's pathetic! I hope they stop buying the post-content stuff and send a message about the poor quality of the game.

I would join the aew games official discord. There's some good tutorials on how to mod characters to that they take up an actual slot in the roster instead of being a CAW
this is what Cornette is talking about when he says "flippy shit" but people just assumed he hated all cruiserweights
This is also what Cornette meant when he said Logan paul had better wrestling basics than 90% of AEW roster
There's no believability in it, it would be like watching a movie and all the actors are over-reacting to the point where someone spilling their drink on the floor has the character crying like his dog just died.

Metal Gear Solid 2
The demo got everyone hyped up for more Solid Snake hijinx then in the full game they pulled the carpet out from peoples feet by going from Snake to Raiden
MGSV. >overpaid egomaniac superstar is on his way out but wants to do things his way >company puts their foot down and fricks him over >the result is a clusterfrick where everyone is wrong and nobody looks good
New Jack was a fricking gem, for a super new guy he was fire.
Fricking badass! Very brave pulling off this one in the South. I loved how he looked away for a split second to make sure it was a good idea in his mind before finally saying it. One of the all time best heels in wrestling history!
Sony attempting a hostile takeover of Nintendo’s platform via the SNES CD collaboration. Squaresoft ditching them over the N64 not using CDs was another.
>Squaresoft ditching them over the N64 not using CDs was another. >Final Fantasy VII accidentally ushers in the golden age of video games after a bad breakup with Nintendo (1997 - 2002) >Bret Hart's exit accidentally creates the Attitude Era, the best years of wrestling (1997 - 2002)
That's why they are the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be in video games and wrestling respectively.
Fricking hell this is spot on. If you look at Nintendo/Sony over the last 20 years, it's very similar to what happened to the WWF/WCW in 1997 to 2001.
>WCW (Sony) ends up kicking Nintendo's Ass (PS2) >Sony continues to dominate but not as popular as it once was (PS3/PS4) >Nintendo (WWE) still continues to frick up but doing dumb gimmicks (Wii/Wii U) >Finally, Nintendo does something right with the Switch (Attitude Era) >Nintendo is back to kicking everyone's ass and Sony literally has no games (Sony is now 2000s WCW)
most of these answers are wrong and don't really understand the significance of the screwjob
It has to be something that involves absolute corporate frickery screwing someone/something over, but leads to a massive boom and the absolute best period the industry will ever see
The best answer so far is
>Squaresoft ditching them over the N64 not using CDs was another. >Final Fantasy VII accidentally ushers in the golden age of video games after a bad breakup with Nintendo (1997 - 2002) >Bret Hart's exit accidentally creates the Attitude Era, the best years of wrestling (1997 - 2002)

I just finished watching a retelling video of this shit kek
the whole situation is pretty kino, surprised no one made an actual movie out of it yet
is there any cool wrestling anything going on? wwe seems complete trash but I haven't seen anything to do with wrestling since like 2006 when it was mega popular
>the whole situation is pretty kino, surprised no one made an actual movie out of it yet
Why would someone make a movie about an obvious plotline that a bunch of marks thinks is real?
because he's the only guy they have who isn't a complete dweeb
I don't doubt he's a good worker but it still doesn't change the fact that he's shit on the mic and has zero charisma. You think the company would have woke up and realized after years of pushing him and constantly getting booed by the fans that they would try and push someone else.
If you've seen today's lazy generation of workers at fastfood joints and all that, that's basically what is currently in the pro-wrestling scene. There are a few good ones, but mostly it's just people there looking for easy pay and preferring not to make it to the top since that's more work than they want.
They have LA Knight, the first guy that doesn't give off that aura of how he is just happy to be there, and it's been his dream since he was a kid with a trampoline.
You wrestlinggays are becoming as obnoxious as MLP furries and the touhou hijacker. Please keep your manchild bullshit to your personal board and keep it out of other manchild shit please thanks.
If you think the spamming of other boards with sweaty manhug drama hasn't increased exponentially since moot threw Ganker under the bus and invited all the shounengays here in his departure stream, then you probably arrived with them.

oh shit anywhere to get info on this
I would join the aew games official discord. There's some good tutorials on how to mod characters to that they take up an actual slot in the roster instead of being a CAW
it represents its company well then
this is what Cornette is talking about when he says "flippy shit" but people just assumed he hated all cruiserweights
i know, i listen to his podcast all the time
Not even the referee can feign excitement.
Lucha is so fricking gay. I like Rey Mysterio as much as the next guy but three Rey Mysterios in one match? Frick off
even actual lucha keeps the rey mysterios to a minimum to keep acrobats special
>Clearly waiting for his spot
This is also what Cornette meant when he said Logan paul had better wrestling basics than 90% of AEW roster
There's no believability in it, it would be like watching a movie and all the actors are over-reacting to the point where someone spilling their drink on the floor has the character crying like his dog just died.
that's why nobody is taking wrestling serious. now less than ever.
Is there any place I can watch these JP wrestling matches? Even old recordings would be cool.
I haven't checked it out but I recall them touting it as a successor to the old N64 games like No Mercy. What happened? QRD?

Why are they still pushing roman?
Because he's the best thing they currently have. After he retires, so will WWE.
I don't doubt he's a good worker but it still doesn't change the fact that he's shit on the mic and has zero charisma. You think the company would have woke up and realized after years of pushing him and constantly getting booed by the fans that they would try and push someone else.
because he's the only guy they have who isn't a complete dweeb
kek, is there really no kino rey mysterio in this generation? do they even do that kind of crazy shit anymore?

he's also a massive dweeb doing a bad impression of the rock
rather get a cheap copy of the rock than roman reigns boring shit
We already had plenty of cheap imitations try to replace Roman already in the past, and failed miserably. We don't need another one.
yes "we" do.
That bad impression of 90's superstars being over to the degree it is says a lot about the current state of the product
