Well I guess I'm going to finally bite the bullet and get an XB1, friends

Go full on darkside and grab EA access~

 

[Thorakai]

El Generico had glass ceiling comedy jobber written all over.

 

[slightconfuse]

the guy wore a mask and spoke broken english for his whole career. people doubts were some what accetable

 

[Ithil]

I think he has shown marked improvement in the relatively short time he's been on NXT, so I don't think there's any reason to believe he can't get to a passable level.

He has, but he's gone from "terrible" to "fine". He'll need a lot of work still.

What will you be playing??????????????

 

[Data West]

El Generico had glass ceiling comedy jobber written all over.

People said that about Generico on the indies when he first started.

 

[Sephzilla]

I don't think Neville will have too hard a time. Typically guys with insanely athletic high flying stuff get over pretty quick. Kofi and Bourne are two examples.

Neville will also slam into the glass ceiling that Kofi and Bourne are both part of too. I also think Neville may be a wellness policy waiting to happen.

What will you be playing??????????????

Maybe Madden and Dead Rising 3?

Honestly, it's primarily going to be used for the Master Chief Collection

 

[Plywood]

El Generico is guaranteed bank what with the mask, but he still seems serviceable as enhancement talent without it.

 

[Vylash]

Tonight's NXT matches:

Charlotte vs Alexa Bliss
Tyler Breeze vs Tye Dillinger
Tyson Kidd vs Adam Rose
Sami Zayn vs Marcus Louie
Adrian Neville vs CJ Parker
NXT Tag Team Championship Tournament Finals: Sin Cara and Kalisto vs The Vaudevillains

Killer Instinct's fun.

 

[Sephzilla]

Killer Instinct's fun.

That too. How much do the additional characters and shit cost for that?

 

[serenewarfare]

I think "fine" is fine for a guy who is as good in the ring as he is. Look at Bryan. Bryan is good on the mic, but he's nowhere near the best. A majority of what got him over is his in-ring work. I think something similar could work for Neville. Obviously not as much as Bryan got over, but just in a general sense.

Neville will also slam into the glass ceiling that Kofi and Bourne are both part of too. I also think Neville may be a wellness policy waiting to happen

I don't think so. A lot of former guys in the company admit it was a mistake to cool Kofi down during his feud with Orton. I think he had an opportunity to be something more than he turned out to be. I think with Triple H having as much of a say in things as he does, the "glass ceiling" isn't an issue anymore, especially for guys he likes such as Zayn and Neville. Maybe if you are talking about being the guy or the top champion, yeah maybe. But for a guy to rise up to be an upper midcarder/occasional main eventer? I don't think it's as much of an issue anymore. As for the wellness policy, same thing had been said about a lot of guys, and it didn't happen to them. So it's kind of an unfounded assumption.

That's true... We do need a Kofi Kingston for a new generation. Sami will be perfect in that roll.

I hate how much I want to get a One for that Master Chief Collection. I feel like if I'm spending $400 on a console it should be for a new experience, but I loved Halo 2's online so much.

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

That too. How much do the additional characters and shit cost for that?

20 bucks for all eight season 1 guys, 40 for characters+accessories+KI classic. season 2 starts next month. They rotate one free character a week and usually put saberwulf on sale for a dollar every few weeks or so for xbox live's sales. I think you can still unlock some accessories without paying and only the fourth set is ultra edition exclusive? Not too sure on the details.

KI's amazing, no one in the roster feels the same, super diverse. But its about to go under a huge rebalancing and change for the roster next month so, don't get too use to whatever tips you may learn now.

MCC is kind of awe inspiring in how comprehensive it is, super mario all stars level compliation.

 

[lovely ladies]

Think it's $20 to get all the characters and $40 to get all characters/costumes. Maybe they lessened it because everyone's out (probably not).

edit: Harlequin with a much better explanation

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

Also worth noting that for how much I love KI its really fuckin' stressful to play. Its like MVC3 where you're constantly, CONSTANTLY making huge decisions. One fuck up can easily lead to you eating a 60% combo. I love it but I get tuckered out after a half hour play session, I need to hit the dojo more.

My problem with so many shooters in recent years is that I compare the amount of fun I have with them to the amount of fun I had with Halo 2, and it makes me realize I need Halo 2 in my life in the worst way. Halo 1 having online XBL multiplayer for the first time ever is also pretty huge.

Buying a console simply for a remake of a 10 year old game looks silly on paper, but like friend HarlequinPanic said this looks like it's legit one of the best compilation packages I can remember.

$20 bucks for all of that stuff doesn't sound too bad.

I'd probably primarily play it with just my local friends. I kind of suck at fighters (except for MK9 and Injustice, oddly), but my friends and I are fans of the old KI.

Sure, and I think Neville will do fine mainly from his matches, but while Bryan is only "good" on the mic, not great, he is inarguably charismatic, the audience is just drawn to him for whatever reason. That ended up being more important than any promo.
It's the same reason Zayn is more over than Neville even though they're about the same skill level in the ring, he seems to connect with crowds very well (granted, Zayn IS a good talker).

Still, HHH likes Neville, he's a great wrestler, I expect he'll get a fair chance on the main roster at least.

 

[Sephzilla]

Do you think the "Ole" chant will follow him up to Raw?

Dat 1st party machine

 

[Sephzilla]

Dat 1st party machine

i've already taken the entire week off from work for Master Chief Collection. I'll have zero regrets.

 

[Gonzalez]

Do you think the "Ole" chant will follow him up to Raw?

No, because that's associated with Los Matadores.

 

[Ithil]

A point I didn't take into account on Neville that I should have is that he's been in front on the same NXT audience for the year and a half, so his moves probably don't seem as spectacular to them now that they're familiar. It won't be much of an issue on the main roster where he's new to each crowd every week.
The changing crowds also has its own drawbacks obviously.

Do you think the "Ole" chant will follow him up to Raw?

Yup. But stronger in more hardcore cities.

What if Raw was an 80's sitcom?

 

[Plywood]

Sometimes I feel like this thread is on repeat.

 

[Hasney]

Well make sure I'm online first next time it gets posted. At all times, the thread should be asking "Where's Hasney?".

 

[lovely ladies]

What if Raw was an 80's sitcom?

They already made one.

 

[strobogo]

I hope Bryan is using his time off to catch up on classic television. If he comes back, his new gimmick should be dropping spoilers from 20 year old episodes of This Old House, The Joy of Painting, ER, NYPD Blue, and The Golden Girls.

As long as Perfect Strangers is safe. I'm still catching up.

 

[bitesnintendog]

Watching Jimmy Hart's XWF and it's bad, really really bad. Tempted to do a recap post but I'm unfamiliar with certain people on the roster who may or may not have been in late WCW. It starts with a 10 minute promo establishing two authority figures where Piper mentions that they wont have guys calling their mommas then moves to a Bagwell match. Lots of cringeworthy celebrity pretapes including Hacksaw on Willie Nelsons tour bus.

 

[Ithil]

No, because that's associated with Los Matadors.

Nothing is associated with Los Matadors.

 

[Spider from Mars]

I had a weird thought while bowisng through
Netflix today. Do you guys ever wonder what Raw would be like if it was an 80's sitcom?

No. But I have wondered what Raw would be like if it was an 80s detective show.

There should have been a Thunder in Paradise Chicago episode.

El Generico would've been a better partner for Kalisto. Sammi could pull double duty.



Where to watch AAA? Telemundo? Univision? PPV?

Let's see...

Bravery... Check
Heart... Check
Passion... Check
Ole... Check

As you can see they are associated with plenty of things.

I tried to push through some of it...but I just couldn't.

I have a bad feeling that's how Global Force from Je Double F Ja Double R E Double T is going to be.

Not if it meant Brutus Beefcake and Jimmy Hart tainting Perfect Strangers.

I would love to see a tag title run for Juan Sina and Mr. America.

Like seriously, I really honestly do.

Why do Wrestling games so often suck?

Wrestling has built in match types, it's all fights, super moves, crazy characters, everything about it seems setup perfectly for a videogame translation, but so many are so terrible. Even excluding WWE, as tie in games whatever, why are there so few wrestling games that are actually fun? They always end up being a huge buggy mess. What is it about wrestling that makes it so hard to translate into a game?

Why isn't there some indie game that is just a good wrestling game? So many people love those Aki games that it seems like someone would try to make one, and the only thing I've heard of is that "Pro Wrestling X" game, but it's been in development for like, ten years and as far as I can tell it's not coming out any time soon.

Is wrestling actually hard to make a game out of, or is it just that the only ones that can get made are on licensed property budgets? I'm legitimately curious why so many of these games are so bad or mediocre and so few actually emulate the fun of wrestling.

That thread, the dominance of Marvel/DC comics-related threads in OT, that fucking Gaming Journalism thread in Gaming. Just burn it all down.
