Quick Look: WWE 2K17

Why does these games still look so dated?

If you didn't know: the soundboard and "get that knight" reference Vinny makes are callbacks to this prank Dan played on GI.

Greg Miller is the only person I want to hear talking crap to an audience.

I lost my shit at Big Baby

Dumb purple glove Undertaker was Undertaker '94, who returned to the WWF to face Ted Dibiase's fake Undertaker at the seventh annual SummerSlam, before that time he was dumb grey glove Undertaker. *adjusts glasses*

BIG BABY V. WARREN FOR WRESTLEMANIA MAIN EVENT

Man, I want to play a good Wrestling video game. Someone should make a new one of those because this isn't it.

The game is pretty good tbh

"Your wrestling hero is pretty strong"

What hideous menus, gd.

The character creation and everything in the ring not involving weapons or cages is great. The gameplay in those respects is pretty darn solid (outside the occasional bug) and delivers some awesome back and forth matches, I love all the new counters and reversals. I can understand wanting something more arcadey, but what 2K has delivered here.....at its core at least, isn't nearly as bad as the guys make it out to be. The weapons and gimmick matches really need an overhaul though, as well as tag A.I.

Every game looks good in 2016 except for the WWE games.

Fuck me, this looks like garbage.

I loved how they used the Main Even opening with Gallows and Anderson in the video and they're not even in the game. Great job 2K.

They're featured in one of the upcoming DLC packs.

They didn't mention it in the video but one new useful thing they added was in singles matches with more then two people (maybe just triple threats?) wrestlers will roll out of the ring and be down on the outside making those matches easier to handle. Doesn't make the game much better but improves certain match type.

Hilarious. Dan's impression of Alex is very enthusiastic.

I'm feeling a really dumb crisis of choice right now.

The last wrestling game I bought was the 2012 version and before that probably No Mercy on the N64. I used to love wrestling games but they're so crappy these days.

I don't want to support these games. It's the whole idea of there being no incentive to make a better game if what they're doinge keeps selling.

Sure one copy is a drop in the bucket and doesn't really matter... but that's a dangerous attitude to have about anything. Positive change never happens if everyone follows that line of reasoning.

Yet I see this video and even knowing the game is as bad as ever I still like wrestling and miss wrestling videogames. The real problem of course being they are literally the only game in town and my high and mighty attitude of speak with your wallet to promote a better game really does fuck all.

Should I just suck it up and buy the crappy wrestling game? Decisions decisions...

I lost it when Big E was dancing in background

Nice. This is so dumb.

Wow. That promo stuff was something.

Dan does a spot on Ted Cruz impression when he's trying to do Alex's voice.

After Justin McElroy pointed out their resemblance, I just think Cliff Bleszinski now every time I see Dean Ambrose...

Buy a used copy.
