While Yukes shares responsibility and blame for years of issues within their WWE games, it is ultimately on 2k for releasing such an absolute shitshow of a game. Shame on those buying it too.
Every year they give the same bullet points, like how they've got an entirely new lighting and animation engine, the online experience is improved, and there are more fixes to the core gameplay. The the game comes out and the characters still look like shit compared to NBA 2k18 and EA Sport titles, the online is still shitty, and bugs from 3-4 games ago are still repeatable and now there are new ones! GREAT JOB 2k
To twist the knife even more, WWE 2k has all that VC bullshit too! Thanks 2k.
Yukes can make good games when they need to. Their THQ UFC games were good and had pretty great likenesses too. But, even if Yukes was a z tier developer and every one of their games were awful, 2k approves their work and pushes out a shitty broken game that marks buy every goddamn year.
They then pull their best Bray Wyatt impression trying to convince themselves and others that they didn't get conned for another year and that they totally spent $59.99 (+ tax) ironically and bugs and bad controls are what really makes it fun.
Or maybe they just enjoy the punishment. Wrestling fans love to suffer. They'll be doing three hours of suffering tonight when RAW starts at 8pm EST on the USA Network.
Real goddamn shame WWE went with 2k and not EA.
