Dammit all! Guess i'll have to wait untill I buy my 360 then. I remember back in the days of Here Comes the Pain. If we wanted custom music, we had to edit audio files so they match the length of the in game songs and do some editing to the ISO. Overly complicated, but the end result was satisfying. This was also the only good thing about the RAW games on the XBox.
Man, this series has just been getting worse and worse... I'm on the PSP version and it is PAINFULLY slow. I can't stand what this series has become. There's a small chance I might get the 360 version, but my money might be tight soon. The hardcore wrestling fan in me just keeps telling me to get this despite it's downfalls though.
Alright, so story mode gets a F for continuty (sp?). Here's why:
Spoiler:
So, for Survivor Series they announced it will be a triple threat with all the world champs putting their titles on the line. The winner gets the title from the person who loses (i.e. pinned or submits).
Okay, great. SOunds wonderful. So we go along, I face Smackdown's champion (King Booker) in a non-title match. Sounds good.
THe next week, Shane messages me telling me that he backs me up in my match, and that someone will be giving me a call. So, I wait for this call in the game...and wait...and wait...and wait...and...nothing? Sorta. Continue reading...
Then, suddenly "I" decide to place my title on the line against Lashley (ECW champion) on the Raw before the big PPV. Okay...strange, but I'll go with. I successfully defend the title, and all is good...when I hear the last two lines...
J.R.: "So now the Raw champion will have the ECW champion backing him up in his match."
King: "Yeah, but can be be trusted?"
If I had turned away for five seconds, I would have missed that. Somehow, the match suddenly had the added stipulation that if I won, Lashley would become my PARTNER in the 'triple threat' match. Of course, I thought they meant that he would try to help me win the match...surely they wouldn't do something like that. At any rate, keep this thought in mind as well go to...
Dreamer and Lashley hitting my character with a car and Dreamer yelling at me for thinking that his champ wasn't worthy enough for a title shot. Unlike King's and J.R.'s two lines which I could have missed, there was NO missing the fact that I had JUST DEFENDED my title against Lashley. To his credit, Lashley said nothing, possibly having become a zombie under Dreamer's control (Hey, at LEAST then Lashley has an excuse...).
Now, to add to it all, suddenly Shane messages me saying I was a fool to turn down Lashley's help (I swear the magazine even had it state that my character agreed, but I'm not quite sure). Given that I had no idea that I was suppose to get help from him, let alone ever had a chance to give a choice, this is rather odd. Of course, given what Dreamer and Lashley did at the end of Raw, it actually seems logical (even if I never actually SAW it) that my character would turn down their help.
Which of course leads to the handicap match in which I and Lashley DO team against King Booker. Lashley then pins Booker, and instead of him gaining the title, I become the dual champion.
Oh, and to top it all off...AFTER it all, I was notified that I would get a salary increase. Of...one dollar. Unfortunately, the game FORGOT to actually add this (as small as it may be) into my actual salary.
Did Steph somehow write the script of this game?
Oh...and one more, less hilarious but still happened:
Spoiler:
About two months game-wise prior to this, there was the storyline where Steph fell in love with my character. A bit cheesy, but fine.
Alright, well, Shawn got beat down by um, someone. At any rate, this was AFTER the MAIN EVENT on RAW, in which was followed by the marriage where Steph was 'left at the altar'...ALSO on RAW. I guess no one had televisions in the back, and Coach was brain-dead that he forgot to tell Steph that...
Sounds like WWE's typical "logical" writing to me. xD This game just seems to forget everything you do in a PPV after it's over. It's like "ok that feud is over. NEXT!" Heck the very first feud is supposed to end with a number 1 contender spot. This didn't happen at all. I also hate how they keep reusing scenes at the wrong times. Like just now I was feuding against Carlito and Johnny Nitro, but when they show me arriving to RAW backstage, I'm all buddy buddy with them, and shaking hands with them. Come on THQ! To Kayfabe, or not to kayfabe? Stick with one please!
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
Oh man, I just hope someone from WWE creative picks this game up and starts to realize how insane it is. Then they might even start to realize how their booking is just as insane and nonsensical as this.
