Quick Look: WWE 2K20

This game is cursed.

Just like real wrestling this Quick Look was mostly disappointing.

Sadly no good glitches :(

I had to tap out at 1 hour and 15 minutes of that pretty bad career mode like everyone in the chat and Alex and Abby were all sayin, it was pretty boring. I wish Dan got the hint and would have moved on, but I'm sure everyone is thinking that.

The only glitch I've seen so far is my favorite, and it is where someone throws a stair case and it bounces off the other person and hits the person who threw the stair case.

With so many people sitting around waiting I don't know why we had to focus on trying to complete the story mode, when everyone was askin to move on. :(

Thanks either way, the energy was fun and it was exciting to learn some trivia! Maybe? I don't know, no, I don't think I learned anything.

Welcome to the Powerbombcast

Guests Abby and Matt

@axl159: The entire game's existence is a glitch.

Yikes the game ran perfectly, and yet...

I suffer with Mike and Abby

If you're here for the fun, skip to the 8 man big head mode fight, that shit is gold

EDIT: jesus are all comment threads On Here like this one? this QL was fun and funny, if it had been only wrestling obsessives on the mic I would have tapped out immediately. abby is good, obviously. the chemistry of this site is unmatched and it's crazy to me that the personalities can draw so much ire.

Nothing's loading up for me, is the video broken?

I loved it live! This was such a good QL.

boy, this game looks like garbage

I’m really concerned that MattMikeMark MaHardy has fallen under Dan’s spell now that they’re on the same coast together. His wrestler enthusiasm sounds legit and that’s not a good thing

It was a shame that Dan decided to troll by playing that Horsewomen match to completion, reminded me of a WWE 20 minute opening show promo, but was otherwise an enjoyable showing of a big mess.

Yes Hogan said something racist but Abby saying, "he shouldn't be in these games anymore" is a other example of her immaturity and political condescension.

@random_dave_: Nah she's right

@random_dave_: she's right, though

@random_dave_: She's right

Nothing against anyone on this video, but I feel like this is way too many people talking on a Quick Look. Just Dan, Alex, and Jeff would've been enough.

Also, why is Jeff's audio so bad? Usually when they do cross-coast videos it sounds completely fine but this one almost feels like Jeff was calling in to a radio show from an old telephone booth.

@smokey_earhole: Skip forward a bit. It starts in darkness. Which is in no way an indication of the horrors to come.

@random_dave_: hmm interesting, however have you considered that racism is unacceptable and she was 100% right?

I'm something of a WWE 2K apologist (I maintain that 2K19 was, like, good! I think the games can be enjoyable!) but even I can't defend this one.

Matt Hardy looks like a Sklar brother, what?

Anyone who watches and supports WWE monetarily is tacitly supporting a reprehensible, heinous organization.

*Edited.

That Macho Man tho

You hear that fans of AEW, NJPW, Lucha Libre, and all indie wrestling.

you are all war criminals

@dweep: would you maybe like to focus that down to at least just the WWE or?

This was a good time, fuck even paying a dollar for this though.

Is "political condescension" the new code for "how dare you point out that my beliefs might be really shitty".

What was up with that fade in and out around 29 minutes in?

@juanarturo: I've rectified my mistake. Sorry.

yeah even if the four horsewomen match went on...too long, everything else about this stream was awesome

Can't wait to see what Yukes does now that they're off on their own.

@random_dave_Lmao what? A shitty person showed off that they're shitty, and your reaction is to talk back at the person calling out the shittiness? It's a video game. one less sweaty polygonal man isn't going to affect anyone's life at all, except in funneling less money to real-life version of sweaty polygonal man, which is ten thousand percent correct.

I love how we are debating if Hogan should be in the video game or not (for historical purposes I guess...?) when he's back on TV and PPVs now without even a hint of a mea culpa.

Imagine defending Hulk Hogan.

Abby seemed legitimately like she didn't want to be any part of this. Maybe she shouldn't have been?

@matabus: She's the only one who could run the stream.

@matabus said:

THIS. I don't get why Abby was on this when she very obviously didn't want to be there.

???? she's 100% right wtf are you talking about

Is this showing up as a livestream that ended hours ago for anybody else?

She was having a bit of fun taking shots at an entertainment medium which is, let's face it, deeply silly at best. The wrestling fans on staff don't mind, so maybe you shouldn't either?

@synthesis_landale: @matabus: I think you might be confusing her not liking the game with not wanting to be part of the QL.

@the_nubster: it's the cancel culture and progressive politics nonsense that is parroted from a person whose pinned tweet is about farts. Yeah yeah bad man bad because I need an immature person to tell me that.

A joke about farts is unacceptable, but being a racist asshole is totally fine. You heard it here first from Random Dave.

Thank you for your insight Dave.

oh man this got a real laugh out of me. my goodness the audacity of this comment alone is hysterical.

"Cancel culture" is being wielded by snowflakes who can't deal with being called out for being racist and ignorant. Cancel culture is talking down trans people from sharing their experiences, or stopping women from being involved in media. cancel culture is threatening violence against people who disagree with you. You're not being cancelled, you're being hit on the ass by the door on the way out. Go be racist somewhere the fuck else.

We're not watching the TV and pay-per-views here, are we. We're playing the game.

Well, at least this game gave us a fantastic QL. I'm worried that Vince might hear about backlash over this game, and he'll blame it on Becky being on the cover.

Somehow, this game made big head mode upsetting. The most beloved mode!

Also, Abby was cool on this. Good job, Abby.

@frytup: I’m not a wrestling fan, but Giant Bomb could try a little bit harder to make their content enjoyable to watch. Start by not making people talk about things they have no interest in.
