I've not played one of these WWE games for years but the Horsewoman story thing, what the heck was that?
The mode has always been about doing these dumb annoying overly specific things with the AI doing it's best to screw you over but didn't they at least used to be memorable moments from those matches? Like getting both woman tied up in the ropes and dropping her knees, that's a thing people might remember from this match and is a good objective, do a running grapple, not so much.
It's a shame how little coverage this game has gotten so I'm glad to see GB cover it. It's a little ropey in places but it's super charming and for me the pros definitely outweigh the cons.
I think this series might be my favourite Giant Bomb thing ever.
Unlike all the other ones I've only ever played this MGS once and that was right when it came out.
I remember not really liking it at all, it was confusing, the boss fights were lame, the installs were annoying (and that stupid "Oh we're on Bluray!" remark just pissed me off, I'll take 10 seconds of disc swapping over 10 minutes of installing thanks) but watching this back has really improved my take on it.
I'd probably still rank it as my least favourite out of 1, 2, 3 and 4 but it's definitely not the complete train wreck my memory made me think it was.
@onemanarmyy: I can't see them doing that. The impression I get is "The Journey" is separate from the normal Player/Manager Career mode and FIFA has always let you choose to go straight into management.
I'm really looking forward to this. Career mode has been dull as heck for years and has needed something. Ideally they'd do this mode and something to career too but I'll take what I can get.
Yeah it looks super cheesy but it works for the NBA games, bar that Spike Lee thing, so why couldn't it work here?
This was a really lovely piece, thank you for sharing it with us.
I wouldn't ever describe SL as something for "horny loners" but the idea that it could rekindle a passion in someone is wonderful and something I'd never considered before.
One of my fondest memories is the time the whole family, even my mother who doesn't like games at all, all sat around playing Tomb Raider together. She just watched and I don't think she joined us the next night but the rest of us, my father, my brother, my sister and myself took turns playing and talking about the puzzles and things. I'm not sure why but for some reason come the second game my dad had gone off games, although he would get back into them later, and that kind of thing never really happened again but still, it was a really nice moment.
I'm not sure how I'd feel loading up someone's saves. I can see the similarities between that and something like a photo album but I dunno, saves seem very personal to me, even in a game where you don't create a character or anything.
