Re: Official WWE 13 Impressions

I know it's easy enough to use custom entrance music, but i had to let out an angry wtf laugh when I created a Nexus stable and the Nexus music is Otungas/New Nexus music.

I can't believe how much I like playing as Tyson. I started a match against Santino and gave myself a finisher to start (awesome new feature) and just immedietly knocked Santino the F out haha.

Here's a feature I wish for. I wish you could create multiple tag teams within a team. For example, I want to create a DX stable and within it, have a DX tag (HHH and Shawn), New Age Outlaws tag team, and then X-Pac in there too as a singles competitor. Obviously, we can create a team/stable and the top 2 members are the tag team but I wish you could customize that even more.

Oh, another new feature I like is how if you hit your signature before finisher, then they show instant replay of finisher. Awesome. What were people complaining about the camera angle changing? IGN review mentioned it. Haven't even noticed that yet.

I agree about arena music being to soft. Hopefully that's fixed in a patch.

Don't you just hold down the grapple button?

"Don't you just hold down the grapple button?"

Yes i know the grapple button. I guess the more appropiate question would be how do you "groggle grapple". There is no tutorial, (which is baffling btw) and this aspect of the game is a bit confusing. I where the opponent down, pick him up and he just keeps on doing the same moves. Wtf

I'm loving the Attitude Era mode! It really is a trip down memory lane. I was 12 years old in 1997, and at 27 now, I really feel like a little kid again. It's great. I remember watching all of these moments live on TV and it really was the best time.

I'm almost done the D-X story. One more to go before the Stone Cold story starts.

I didn't like hearing Bret Hart's new entrance theme in the game for his entrance, but that is an easy fix with custom music. I'm surprised they didn't include Mankind's lullaby music for when he wins a match.

You have to have them in a groggy state to do strong grapples. Its supposed to simulate a real match as most matches start with less impactful moves and end with the big moves. Wear them down then pick them up and voila.

Re: Official WWE 13 Impressions

I am absolutely in love with this game. I honestly haven't enjoyed a wwe game since 2007 on the 360, but this very well may be my favorite wrestling game of all time. AE mode is INCREDIBLE. The gameplay is silky smooth. The camera angles make it feel more like a broadcast. The graphics are out of this world, and the commentary is the best in any wrestling game ever. I can't believe how good this game actually is, and this is coming from a guy who thought 12 sucked big time. It's taken me a little while to get a hang of the controls, but now that I am, I am really enjoying this. I'm shocked at how good this game truly is.

Re: Official WWE 13 Impressions

Welp found the first problem in the game, and its a BIG one. I was beating down Primo with Jericho and every single pin count was a 1 count, and after I hit my finisher it was a ZERO count - he kicked right out. Did a little searching and other people are having the same problem.

Damnit.

I haven't had this happen, but it sounds crappy.

How long were you into the match, and what was the match setting at?

I hit my finisher twice so pretty far into the match and it was just a normal exhibition match. The thing is everything was fine yesterday, I didn't encounter it at all until today. Very weird...maybe it was because I changed sliders? But the only ones I changed were reversals so idk.

That is weird. I moved the finisher damage up a couple clicks. Maybe try that?

Re: Official WWE 13 Impressions

What's old is new again. This was in HCTP back in 2005.

Re: Official WWE 13 Impressions

Yeah there is definitely something wrong, every time the ref counts to 1 and his hand hits the mat the opponent ALWAYS kicks out. It takes like 3 finishers to put Justin Gabriel down for a 3 count, and there are no 2 counts. I am sad.

**matthawk** · 10-31-2012, 02:03 PM

Re: Official WWE 13 Impressions

I'm still leery of this game, or more accurately of THQ. Lack of an aggressive CPU opponent was one of my bug hangups with '12. Sounds like it still may be an issue. I don't want to have to intentionally hold back during matches just to get them to be competitive.

After watching some match videos (and an earlier post) I remembered my other big hangup. The grappling. Does every non-groggy grapple start with one of those extended animations like an armbar or tieup? In '12 this ruined the flow of the matches, and it looks like it's the same thing in '13.

I'm surprised my willpower has been this strong. 2 days in, a B2G1 deal at Target and I haven't bought the game yet

**Rawdeal28** · 10-31-2012, 02:10 PM

Re: Official WWE 13 Impressions

yeah im having the same issues. Sin Cara kicked out of 3 F-5's.

i have since moved the finisher strength up to 18 and things are going a little better now.
