#WWE 2K17 SUCKS FREE#
I’m not saying the gameplay, when free of glitches, isn’t enjoyable, but knowing that things are inevitably going to go belly up leads to a game of chance. I expect this kind of stuff from Goat Simulator, not a huge sports title made by a huge company on behalf of an even bigger company. Worst of all though are the times where a body part gets caught, and stuck permanently, in the floor or barricade, refusing to let go and leading to something akin to one-legged acrobatics – it’s bizarre when the character model throws itself around like a ragdoll. I’ve lost count of the many occasions in which both characters go for a grapple, only for both to fail and seem to give up trying. Other times would see attacks being acted out as a mime, while the opponent stands there without a care in the world. To give you some specific examples of the frustrating problems that’ll come your way, a simple move close to the ropes often meant that a leg would get unnaturally caught, before moving uncontrollably for a short while. Don’t worry though, the waiting game doesn’t need much patience, as I regularly found something going wrong. The movement is odd and clunky, the collision mechanics are ridiculous and it becomes a waiting game for when it’ll next cause a character model to go into spasm like a raving lunatic.
#WWE 2K17 SUCKS SERIES#
From the very moment I first stepped into the ring – giving Akira Tozawa a run out as he’s new to the series – I instantly felt the disappointment wash over me. With the pleasantries out of the way, it’s a massive shame that for all the new and returning features that WWE 2K18 presents on paper, there are a whole load of technical issues smacking you in the face every time you play. Considering the huge amount of moves a Superstar can have for various situations already, it’s great to see another way to bring the pain, without compromising on what’s already a part of the move sets. It allows you more control, deciding whether to launch the opponent over the top rope, slam them dead centre in the ring, or chuck them into the corner. Having the choice is welcome, although I’ve stuck with the old method of stick action, the button mashing option helps cater for the masses.Īnother notable addition are the transitional carrying moves, whereby Superstars can actively lift others up in a body slam or powerbomb pose and carry them around for a short while.
It’s the submission attempts that have seen a small change to how they play out, as now there are two options the right-stick manoeuvring one where you chase the opponent’s indicator in a circular motion, and a new one in which buttons shown must be pressed rapidly as they appear. There are the various winning stipulations in crazy matches involving ladders and cages too. Just in case you’re unsure, the aim in most wrestling matches is to beat the opposition to a pulp until they can no longer kick out of a pin attempt or they can’t take the pain anymore and submit – disqualification is also a viable end to a bout.
