Yeah, neither of the packs actually have anything in them, they just make whatever's in them free.

[Andrew]

The pack was still a 270 MB download though. Each of the individual items were also listed at 270 MB each, obviously an error, but completed instantly and were then present in the game after I restarted. A little more messing around than it needed to be but it's all working as it should be and there no problems with the Fan Axxess subscription I purchased, so it's a very minor gripe for me; just more fiddly than it needed to be.

Anyone else not have a world title match at Night of Champions? I had the two main events as Goldust-Ryder and Morrison-Batista, despite the fact that of the four, only Morrison had even been on TV. And only once, at that.

They also seem to have either the World/WWE champion as number one contender for the IC/US belt, or the IC/US champion number one contender for the World/WWE belt, resulting in people having multiple matches on the PPVs.

my TNA (Smackdown) vs WWE (Raw) has special shit like that too. Hardy Boyz are the tag champs, and Matt Hardy is going after both the Intercontinental and World champ. He's had 3 matches in each of the past 4 PPVs. Kinda stopped playing since there isnt anyhting I can do to drop him from the title rankings....he's always the #1 contender.

[Andrew]

I'm thinking I'll start playing with WWE Universe Mode switched off. I'm growing weary of being attacked on the way to the ring when I want to play a quick exhibition match. Cool concept but intrusive at times, nice that we can toggle it off though.

[koberulz]

I really don't get the point of it functioning during exhibition. In its own mode, it works, but I don't see how it makes any sense to incorporate random exhibition matches into its storylines. I always turn it off if I'm setting up matches of my own.

So Matt Hardy is the Cena of your game.

[JaoSming]

he's Cena, Ultimate Warrior, Hogan, and Goldberg mixed into one. someone must have gotten paid off in creative.

[koberulz]

I've fucking had it with this game. On top of the camera cutting away at random and losing me matches, as covered in the Steam thread, every match that doesn't involve that ends with me getting rolled up two minutes in, having taken no damage, and getting pinned.

Fucking bullshit.

[JaoSming]

what difficulty are you playing on? did you mess with the sliders?

[koberulz]

Legend, because Hard was way too easy. It was fine a week ago, now all of a sudden it's screwing me over at every opportunity.

[koberulz]

...and now I've been disqualified because my CPU-controlled tag team partner didn't get out of the ring within five seconds. This is getting ridiculous. Did the patch fix the glitch which allowed the user to win or something?

[JaoSming]

worth a chuckle

but seriously man, lower the difficulty and raise some CPU sliders

[koberulz]

Yeah, as much as I was about ready to put the controller through a window when it happened, about five minutes later I was laughing at the stupidity of it.

Difficulty's fine. Early rollups are a problem both ways; unless the wrestler being pinned has resiliency, you don't have to do too much damage at all. As long as the camera stays on the ring, it's competitive enough, and I don't think changing the difficulty is going to make it any easier to wrestle blind.

[koberulz]

Just now, I was Orton, against Jericho. Orton comes out first. Jericho's music hits, no sign of him...he comes in from behind, jumps Orton. Off to a good start. Bell rings, Jericho picks Orton up, Codebreaker. Orton gets up before Jericho can cover him, the pin attempt is thus an irish whip. Orton off the ropes, Jericho attempts an atomic drop, countered into a DDT.

From there, I proceed to build my momentum from zero all the way up to a signature move. With Jericho down, I go for it. Miz runs into the ring to team up against me with Jericho (even though disqualifications are on). Miz then turns on Jericho, kicking him in the gut and leaving him face down in the middle of the ring. Fine, I'll punt him and pin him...except that the time the cutscene took interrupting the match didn't interrupt the timer on the finisher, so I don't have it any more. I settled for just rolling him over and pinning him.

So even when I win, the game manages to somehow defeat me.

Incidentally, after the match Cole started wondering what was going on, evidently referring to the Miz's interference, and included the line 'obviously the match is still going on'...but by then, it wasn't. Even in videogameland, he's incompetent.

[koberulz]

Finally!

Dolph vs Undertaker, number one contender's match for the World Heavyweight Title. 'Taker's been in every world title match since I started Universe, so I opted to go with Dolph in an effort to shake things up. Fairly even contest, I roll 'Taker up, two count before 'Taker rolls it over. Two count again, I roll it back. Two count again, Taker rolls it over. I roll it back over again, apparently a tenth of a second too late. Undertaker wins.

Universe cutscene. Match will restart, Falls Count Anywhere. Which I ended up winning.

So not only did I finally win, the game helped me. Awesome.

[JaoSming]

dude, idea, match creator, hell in a cell for every match

[koberulz]

That'd get old fast.

[koberulz]

Can we grapple people who are laying on tables this year? They've evidently removed table finishers, and every single time I tried to grapple a guy on a table he reversed it. I swear I've tried it in excess of 20 times now. Barrett's big boot is another one that constantly gets countered, though I have hit that twice.

[JaoSming]

yea i was wondering about that too, I think you need to have a sig move or a finisher to do anything with the table.....really shitty design with not being able to get out of the hell in the cell without a sig either.

[koberulz]

Nope. I had Gabriel on the table when I had a finisher several times, no indication came up that I could press Y. Ditto for having him leaning against a table. I tried to grapple him while he was lying in the table, as I said, but it was reversed every. Single. Time.

Is it even possible to get out of the cell? Getting the guy in the right spot facing the right way seems impossible. I've certainly never managed it.

[JaoSming]

me either, to both accounts, so I dont know
