[@UnoMeeh]

Smack down shut your mouth. The remaster we need, that no one is asking for

[@BCDeshiG]

Smackdown: Here comes the pain was my favourite back in the day

[@jayvonrichards1169]

Kyle Landry it wouldnt happen because of benoit

[@hommiehommieg1348]

And Here Comes The Pain

[@mk-95-20]

The first smackdown vs raw was my fave.

[@doubyjocelyn6134]

Kyle Landry na here comes the pain

[@lemiath]

I miss road to wrestlemania.

[@yachtysworld]

Yep, way better than this clay of garbage.

[@lemiath]

I always did them as Rey Mysterio or a custom character, WWE'13's Attitude Era was great too and All Stars Path of Champions.

[@Lukemasonmedia]

Lemi also Here come's the pain career/season mode was super fun

[@lemiath]

Never got to play here comes the pain, what platform is it? Might get it.

[@Lukemasonmedia]

Lemi it's on Play station 2. There's a reason lots of people say it's the best wresting game there is. It also has one of the best rosters ever

[@o2ndPlayer]

He always post these types of Videos AFTER I buy the game...

[@naclynerickii]

Does he only cover the newer consoles? I own a PS 3 and XBOX 360 and not a PS 4 or XBOXONE.

[@samuelwerre3228]

Naclyn Erick II I own a PS3 but you can still play the game

[@xxextension]

Naclyn Erick II time to upgrade pal

[@naclynerickii]

Game Person Sadly couldn't afford it since I got my new job three years ago. I'm not being paid enough to get a PS 4. I did ask for one for XMAS for last year but my parents couldn't get it on sale. i still cannot afford one and am looking for a new job that would pay more and treat me better and maybe even would promote me for busting my ass for three years.

[@naclynerickii]

Game Person And starve and potentially be homeless? Yeah i don't think so. I have food to buy and apartment rent to pay for and bills to pay. my money has been going to those.

[@shawnjr1845]

Doesn't matter no wrestling game will ever be as good as smakdown vs raw 2006 had the best game modes hands down

[@gator9339]

Thatsnicceright The mini games were great like the Eugene race

[@toryabraham]

I'm sorry but 2007 was better

[@CarlyDayDay]

Everybody bitched about those games too when they were new

[@Woof117]

Smackdown Here comes the pain and Day Of Reckoning 2 was where it was at

[@THEREALSLAUSONBOY]

hahahahaah Damn Straight ''

[@maartenstriepe6893]

the last one I Played was 2008 on PS 2. Doesnt look like it has changed much

[@stevh9353]

KamehamehaNudel It actually changed soooooooooooooooooooo much it's worse now in my opinion (gameplay wise/controls)

[@wrmie]

Dat Boi I wouldn't say it's that much worse. Maybe 2k15 was bad, but they're getting better.

[@maartenstriepe6893]

***** Autokorrektur hat mich verraten xD

[@stevh9353]

WormieGamez I hope they're getting better

[@wrmie]

Dat Boi I think even 2k16 was a big improvement to 2k15, and 2k17 was an even bigger one. If 2k can keep improving, I think we could get the best WWE game soon.

[@realxtraki11er]

i had a ref hit me with steel steps in a last man standing

[@Marco-xv4qs]

realxtraki11er The ref hit me with a ladder in when I still had 2K16. It was hilarious

[@the1entertainergamer858]

realxtraki11er, my game glitched in career mode and the pin game glitched and I lost but I still love my WWE Games tho

[@FCBDIEGO10]

same thing happened to me in last man standing it seemed to be a glitch except i was hit by a chair, i thought the ref was pissed that i ran over him earlier lol

[@predstoric]

Lol

[@TRW1_0]

my created character and a ref super kicked Seth rollins

[@thedazinator851]

BEFORE YOU BUY: Bobby Roode is not in the game

[@DoorHandle2]

Thedazinator DLC

[@NobleCaboose117]

GTA ONLINE not even dlc

[@AJay-cq8rl]

GTA ONLINE they confirmed the DLCS and he's not in it

[@AJay-cq8rl]

GTA ONLINE they confirmed the DLCS and he's not in it

[@PallyLIVE]

That's not glorious... Looks like they gave in...they're not victorious.

[@addictedgamer05]

why did they remove showcase mode, i enjoyed the stone cold showcase so much.

[@gameranxTV]

It was the best part of that game!

[@bigJstacks]

because they didnt have enough coverage to showcase Lesnar.....they could have but it requires wrestlers who not currently in the game. Specifically (Kurt Angle, Chris "whatever his name is" , Rey Mysterio, Bob Holly, RVD, etc...)

[@reliabled1762]

neon-e They wanted to focus on My Career and Universe Mode.

[@stephendavis7943]

there's a hall of fame showcase coming via dlc

[@mattynuggets]

neon-e No my career on ps3 only universe

[@shadowsbane171091]

I think the here comes the pain was the best of wrestling game.

[@singed420snowinit9]

Same, was my favorite without a doubt.

[@JASONDARKWOLF868]

yes wwe hctp is the best wrestling out

[@wharehinga6721]

Yes best ever

[@ghw1985]

Zaarc Baan I had a 1:45 min last man standing match in hctp it was a binding moment lol

[@SnipingIsFun]

I love Here Comes The Pain a lot too, it is great, but someone seems to be forgetting the AKI N64 games and Fire Pro Wrestling Returns

[@h8rdwork653]

The backstage fights don't look all that good when compared to WWE Smackdown: Here Comes The Pain's backstage fights. In that, you could walk all around the area. It was like free roam. You can ride a motorcycle, drag your opponent by the neck while riding the motorcycle and throw him off, throw your opponent off a high second floor, throw them at a electric power device, which shocks the shit out of them, Irish whip them into a bathroom, thus landing their head in the toilet seat LOL, throw them through a fucking crack wall, leading to another room, climb a fucking building and throw your opponent off that shit, climb a ladder leading to a damn helicopter and jump on your opponent in the street, while cars drive by and slam them on that shit!!!!! Breaking the fucking car!!!! Yeah. Compare that to today, this ain't nothing.

[@FatalExistence]

great memories surprised u knew remembered all that. i do remember going up that helicopter Lol

[@DannyReel]

That;s beast but you gotta remember this is a sim game, so if it hasn't been on TV it won't be included, it's not arcade like before.

[@h8rdwork653]

Danny Reel Yeah. Arcade gameplay is fun as fuck. Just surprises me how so much of the old games could feature way more stuff than new games now. It's insane.

[@PaintedHoundie]

damn on paper this sounds like def jam vemdetta lol

[@h8rdwork653]

hennie Kru Hell yeah! That's actually one of my favorite games too. Fight For NY was the best though in my opinion.

[@AbzAden]

Here comes the pain....enough said best wrestling game ever

[@greenghost2212]

That old ass trash bro I loved that game also but we moved on a long time ago.

[@onstandard]

Abdul Aden Exactly

[@SkeeterMcMeatBeater]

Obligatory "HCTP is the best wrestling game" comment. Check.

[@JohnSmith32643]

Greenghost2212 that old ass shit is better than 2k17

[@JohnSmith32643]

SkeeterMcMeatBeater it is though

[@Ghostface2point0]

The fact that he says backstage 'battle" instead of "brawl" makes my Mick Foley's itch...

[@Afrojackfan]

sm vs raw best games ever

[@naclynerickii]

Totally. Best soundtrack, greatest creation system like entrances and taunts and move, great campaign mode involving create a character where he/she goes to PPVs being involved in month story lines like needing to compete for the #1 spot for ROYAL RUMBLE or having a hardcore weapons grudge match VS Matt Hardy in NO MERCY since you beat him the previous month but he's been harassing you since.

[@mikeywhipwreck7026]

2009 was my fav

[@Soccerboy6171]

mikey whipwreck 2008 2010 and 2011 are my favorites.

[@Marsalien100]

2007 was the best one.

[@kennellis9360]

I like smack down vs raw 07 and 08 are my favorite

[@andyb2341]

its incredible how much of a PS2 game this looks

[@MNIMnoob]

The Architect no it's just Yuke's refusing to update their engine

[@TheFallenSith]

MNIMnoob Yukes are not even part of it anymore since 2K16

[@MNIMnoob]

The Architect it literally says that Yuke's is still the developer on the Wikipedia

[@Lel25520]

The Animations and graphics are shit. It's basically a higher resolution old gen game. Backstage battles were in a game from 2003, it's not a new feature either.

[@JobberGames]

+Andy B you know what? you know what's gonna happen? you just made the list you stupid idiot!

[@qblanson17]

Still waiting for a WWE game where the audience are fully detailed.

[@tryhardgaming5484]

I think the biggest bug in this game is the crowd cheering when it's just John Cena and Roman Reigns in the ring :)

[@DJSkandalous]

Yes give me a remastered next gen No Mercy. Make it basically the same but with updated rosters and some classic no mercy legends lol. Also I think they should do a new legends of wrestling or a legends of wrestling 2k game with tons of throwback wcw, wwf and ecw wrestlers. We get kind of screwed out of getting complete rosters to relive our monday night wars. We are always missing either goldberg, sting or hulk hogan as well as the likes of angle and many others. A legends of wrestling 2k game would fix that and we could have a game that would include people that wwe 2k would never use like La Parka, Disco Inferno, Kanyon, Nasty Boys, Val Venis, Mosh and Thrasher, Hardcore Holly, Crash Holly, Raven etc. Lesser known guys from the time periods that arent actually legends. It would make for a great game

[@Lukemasonmedia]

2PacRemix sadly Hogan probably won't ever be in a wrestling game again. At least not for a whike

[@DJSkandalous]

they said they are on good terms with him now so who knows

[@sommareos7801]

Can't wait to play as The Fabulous diva- Sasha: we're not divas anymore, we're women wrestlers ...

[@jovansmanku3385]

Dude awesome vid , thanks for telling me about that universe more it's crazy MAAAN u just earned a sub

[@luqman_azeem]

The most major glitch i faced in 2k16 was that when i played fatal 4-way, my brothers character (Sin Cara) Started twisting his body as if he was placed in a blender and rolled towards the other side by having arms pop out from his butt and other parts popping out in the wrong place

[@redven25]

Pros: great content. Amazing character models. Loving the intros and soundtrack. Cons: -No Shinsuke Nakamura on the day 1 roster (I know he'll be DLC). -I despise the submission mechanic for both offense and defense. Stupid. -Maybe I haven't looked thoroughly but I couldn't find a 2/3 falls match.

[@gameranxTV]

Okay I was worried it was just me who really doesn't like the submission stuff.

[@greenghost2212]

For your cons 1. If u bought the nxt edition u couldve had him day one. 2. It's two submission systems now.

[@emperxr8108]

redven25 Eh... You'll get used to it.

[@ballin302008]

the glitches are the most I've seen in any game I've played

[@CircaMay85]

Have you played Mafia 3 yet?

[@ballin302008]

I have it digital, and beat it two days ago. only thing that happend to me was the game crashing twice

[@rickyspanish1792]

Rollie Fingerz OK !I thought I was the only one with mafia 3 issues

[@metal220]

@ballin302008 nice to know u already got platinum :)

[@ballin302008]

metal220 I didn't..

[@Justyart]

amazing update to their franchise... please very well and so much to do... love ur video..

[@jayeechapman2100]

i have valued your insightful videos on games wondered about if you could do a tutorial on adding custom music to a custom superstar male and female. thanks

[@fullmetalarshole]

spent 45 minutes fighting Roman Reigns last night because neither of us would give in to a pin. its alright 5\10. nah lol legit it's really damn good. but promo mode in career kinda sucks because the sentences are too vague

[@TheFallenSith]

FullMetalWhiteboy Legend difficult? I went against Demon Finn Bálor as Shinsuke Nakamura and we did it like 3 hours with normal momentum, it was freakin' awesome, from the ring to backstage and from backstage back to the ring :p

[@zeroworries]

Just be happy that they have no voices in the promo mode because the choices would be even worse.

[@thelatinarrow817]

Nothing had me more hooked than smack down here comes the pain

[@naclynerickii]

That one wasn't to bad. At least was better than JUST BRING IT. Frankly I liked WWF ATTITUDE for the PS 1 and WWE SVR 1 for the PS2

[@claudeakel]

The Latin Arrow nothing but svr 2007

[@DZR3WIND]

Gameranx, So how is Character customization in the game when compared to 2K14(X360, last game before game modes began to get removed with early next gen) and 2K16?

[@Voidhalen]

Hey Gameranx are you guys going to do a before you buy on shadow warrior 2 please

[@God_Is_An_Atheist]

no mention of the 12gb day one patch?

[@VideoGameMaster167]

Just4MTF I didn't get one....?

[@God_Is_An_Atheist]

NickTheGamer_ are you on last-gen? It's actually 11gb, my bad. attackofthefanboy.com/news/wwe-2k17-1-01-update-patch-ps4-xbox-one-large/

[@VideoGameMaster167]

Just4MTF No, I'm on XB1. I haven't gotten it yet.

[@God_Is_An_Atheist]

NickTheGamer_ well, that's weird, but according to the people in the 2k forums you're not the only one. I got it (ps4), total game size is something about 57gb with the patch (46 without).

[@God_Is_An_Atheist]

forums.2k.com/showthread.php?4292752-WWE-2K17-Pre-First-Day-Patch&p=14702358#post14702358

[@DxTrixterz]

Minor and Major reversals were in 2k16 as well.

[@gameranxTV]

Thanks for the correction!

[@ElHanlo]

Late reply but pretty sure it was on svr07 too

[@iLLixer]

I would really love an overview of the tomahawk games like video you made about GTA.

[@mikepagebrand]

The major/minor reversal isn't new this year they started it last year they just built on it. Funny thing about glitches I was playing through a NXT card in universe mode I had just did a tag match between American Alpha and The Revival and I hit the "next match" option which was supposed to be a one on one match between Asuka and Alexa Bliss but for some reason when the match started one man from each of the tag teams was in the ring and it somehow turned into a fatal 4 way elimination match. The weirdest thing about the glitch though is that there was commentary for mixed tag matches

[@kobe5216]

its still BY FAR the best WWE Game

[@Chomakot]

I still play Smackdown 2 on ps1 XD

[@jonnyronnyguy]

F*king amen to the minigame part. im getting better at it but the whole kicking out of pin situation gets the best of me sometimes.

[@godofthegodessofthefairygo8891]

Thank you for helping me deside on vr and other games like titan fall 2 and bf 1 😄

[@JayColor]

THIS GAME DELETED MY SAVE!!!

[@gameranxTV]

WTF

[@shyecity916]

omg really? On the WWE13 AND 2K14 IT USE TO DO THAT TO ME, all my shit gone

[@JayColor]

gameranx Yeah, apparently if you put the PS4 version into the rest mode while on the main menu it deletes the save. Happened to me TWICE before I realized what was happening. 😡

[@StevexOwnz]

OBSOLETE!

[@pospac9870]

Jay Color It's like they didn't test the game. I don't think there has ever been more bugs in a wrestling game.

[@SYMShutYoMouth]

Add free roam to Career and add more story depth to it

[@ourlordandsavioredupes4102]

Every time I type in your channel I always say to myself, "Gameranx presents..."

[@geraltofwestvirginia5562]

Can you do before you buy to skyrim reamasterd plz I really like your vids and skyrim is a one of my favorite games ever thanks:)

[@Paco1337]

This game didn't improve since i was playing on ps2 -_-

[@DZR3WIND]

the ps2/xbox generation had the worst wrestling games of all time... The N64 No mercy was the climax in wrestling games.

[@Paco1337]

DZR3WIND yea but it was great time without this "graphics base" games

[@47LilAnt]

love 2006 smackdown vs raw gm mode was the shittttttt lol

[@47LilAnt]

and yea u right burh i been sayin this for a.longggg time wwe games stillll didnt do no type of upgrades thats why i dont buy them wack ass games no more they stay putting shit in then taking them out like yall still cant get on any smackdown vs raw games its sad

[@SkeeterMcMeatBeater]

Yes it has. You're just dumb.

[@bobnapier7407]

I preordered the NXT collectors edition, I had high expectations and they didn't exceed them, but they met them. 2k17 is a great game, buggy sure, missing some depth in terms of game modes and matches. But Creation sweet, Roster, Universe mode, my career is pretty good, not great though.

[@valorchris1778]

Hey gameranx are you going to do any other videos on wwe 2k17 ?

[@wackyjacky7259]

the thumbnail was hilarious. great job whoever did that

[@jessem138]

So, have 2K figured out a way to import music for custom entrance themes yet? As someone who spends a ton of time creating wrestlers, having to use an existing WWE theme or generic default song is kind of a buzzkill.

[@playerpurple1015]

no, sadly this is not in the game :( but you can create your own entrance video :D

[@voidofopinion]

That feature is likely never coming back. It was taken out long before 2K bought the franchise. The reason it's not included is because of licencing and copyright concerns. Thanks to KZbin, the MPAA, RIAA and other such organizations, fair use is dead and the ability to import commercial music is a lawsuit waiting to happen because of the vultures.

[@47LilAnt]

i know i feel the same way bro i hope they let us do are own song i be making tooooo many people on wwe games to be giving them dumb songs lol

[@zeroworries]

+voidofopinion It was in 2K14..

[@v1LL3n_nZ]

Yea bro it was a feature they had, and they cut it out of the game in 2k15. A long with just about every other feature custom entrances etc.. actually thinking about it, that game was fucking barebones as shit and they should have been sued for that abomination.

[@monisansari9464]

How's it going guys I hope u have a great day

[@uncleebenezer8599]

Shut up

[@mexicangoose6461]

MONIS ANSARI Fuck off you monster

[@gameranxTV]

Hey hi! You as well.

[@janievcraftmovie]

thanks, you too

[@barbisbae9892]

I actually really enjoy the game. I've bought it on day one and it's really cool to play as guys like Goldberg or AJ Styles. The roster is really big and filled with lots of interesting guys from the past, the present and the future and i really like that they let us buy the "legends" with ingame money instead of just giving them to us. That's a good motivation to put on good matches instead of just using the same moves over and over again. I kinda miss the showcase mode in this year's game but i just hope for the return of the GM mode in the next game. :D

[@cookiesontoast9981]

I know this is off topic but are blu ray discs good for storage?? i have a fuck ton of files that i have to keep deleting to make space for more and i know if i got another SSD or HDD they will just quickly get full as well, so if i had a ton of blu ray discs would they be good/reliable for storage?

[@Ninjajawz875]

WWE 2K12 Was my favorite WWE game. havent bought another one since.

[@elliott1996jsr]

Ninjajawz87 13 was a big improvement from 12 but 14 was my favourite

[@jjoker129]

Ninjajawz87 there is no such thing as WWE 2k12 I don't know wtf your on about

[@lemiath]

hes not retarded, he just called it 2k because the games are called 2k because they bought the rights after THQ went bankrupt. Ninjajawz87 you are saying it wrong though, WWE'12 and 13 have the ' in them, before that it was SmackdownVsRaw20** but anyways, now their called 2k, honestly I prefer the THQ ones. My favourite was '13 and all stars.

[@lemiath]

Josh reilly learn some grammar "in clearly not retarded"

[@jjoker129]

Lemi really! That's all your gonna say?

[@goalscoringgoon98]

Absolutely 0 bugs or glitches on the PS4. At least form my experience. I see a lot of people who own the game on Xbox one say they have experienced not a little but a lot of glitches/bugs.

[@expertiz276]

I'm playing on the Xbox One and I haven't experienced any bugs either. It's not the console, those guys were probably unlucky and got into bugs.

[@onstandard]

KZbin NUBE Its on ps4 AND Xbox one, idk what ur saying kid

[@christianhansen4413]

The Lie Detector is spammable the move

[@azeiazhar8136]

KZbin NUBE but glitches and bug is the best thing ever

[@jonathancardoso8830]

the glitches and bugs in this game is what makes it great! it's hilarious to see a bug or glitch while playing with friends

[@fullautootto8004]

Are you gonna do a before you buy on Shadow Warrior 2?

[@amko899999]

Do a before you buy for battlefield 1

[@gameranxTV]

of course!

[@youtubian5179]

we need svr controls.

[@claudeakel]

Courdney Bell if the game had svr controls i'd be unstoppable

[@Z3GamingZblaze3]

minor and major reversal were also in it last year :P

[@MrMostDaysOff]

I bought a ps4 in April so I was very excited to pick this one up on day one. So far coming from 2k16 on the PS3 it's a huge transition, mostly good. It's hard to get used to the much slower speed but I'm having a great time and havn't even gotten into my universe yet!

[@clericofchaos1]

i'm still waiting for 2k to make a gladiator game. use a lot wwe features (like the extensive character creation and the career and universe modes) and now you get to brutally kill your opponent....since wrestling is fake.

[@michaelhubbard4989]

clericofchaos1 a gladiator game would be fake..

[@christianstudios5359]

clericofchaos1 not fake scripted

[@itzzbrasi4499]

Somebody give this man a million dollars and get him talking to devs NOW! 😂 Take my cash now man

[@clericofchaos1]

really? TO KICKSTARTER!

[@marshalllee7375]

clericofchaos1 if you can make that happen, then you can take as much money you want from me, bro!!

[@GingerBeardMan977]

is the submission system as fucking stupid as it was in 2k16 if so RIP anyone that wants to use submissions

[@Theimmortalsun]

Uncle Ram they are harder then 2K16. I mean they are the same but it's just harder the submit someone

[@greenghost2212]

It's two submission systems now. The stick one and the one when u use the buttons.

[@harshkhewal3145]

RIP daniel bryan

[@DoorHandle2]

Uncle Ram In WWE 2K16, I was a submission master, I won 90% of matches by sub. But in WWE 2K17 the Superstars use boost and now it is really impossible.

[@dudelikeswrestling8742]

+GTA ONLINE yeah I noticed a.i used boost now. Goldberg kicked out of two sharpshooters, I got him with the third though.

[@blackphoenix1201]

i have a question should i buy 3ds xl or wait for a new mobile console ? i am not sure what to do

[@Nintendad64]

This is actually the first WWE game I've bought in at least 4 years (maybe longer) and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. And you're right the create features are pretty deep, I stayed up way later than I care to admit tweaking my character.

[@azkatariquerabbani28]

10/10 would make sean murray and beat the fuck outta him by breaking the ring

[@amongstourselves6203]

they need to remove this reversal shit i like being able to time it instead of you ran out of reversals time to get your ass kick until it comes back like wtf

[@GottaAskTheCat]

You can turn that off.

[@Enigma19100]

amongst ourselves turn it off. I found that annoying and turned it off the second I played the game.

[@nawaf-p1530]

amongst ourselves you can change it in the settings

[@MrSkullHead1250]

I love wrestling games, and older wrestling in general, I have since I was a kid in the 90's. WWF No Mercy for N64, a classic, it is the standard I hold all wrestling games to, and nothing has compared to it. Some have come very close though. Smackdown SYM and HCTP are two great ps2 wrestling titles that I also very much enjoy, they defined the use of chairs for me back then too XD. If you didn't know the old smackdown games before SYM, when you hit someone with a chair or any object, they kind of just stagger around, and it didn't have no real weight to it. When SYM came out, I was so blown away by how the chair shots looked pretty much exactly how I'd expect, they actually connect with the head in a real way, and you can do grapple holds with them, like a DDT. Don't get me wrong, I love the original smackdown game for ps1, I played the hell out of it, but the weapons left a bit to be desired lol. Anyway moving on...After Here comes the pain, we had our first smackdown vs raw, which was okay, but it was a reset, so a lot of things were just not there any more, RIP backstage transistions lol. After that I wasn't impressed by any of the sequels, until SVR 08, which has ECW, and the hardcore stuff was pretty good, still no backstage transitions, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. After 08, I played 2010, which again was okay but nothing amazing. I quit playing the future titles after 2010, up until WWE 13. They sucked me in with that beautiful Attitude Era mode, which I adored, since that was my childhood pretty much lol. I lived breathed and dreamed about wrestling in the 90's, so having the Attitude era was an instant buy for me, and the game was really good...Still no back stage though :(. After 13, I did play 14, it was good, not as good as 13, but it had goldberg like HCTP so I was happy :). Now we come to 2k15, that game was absolute garbage. They ripped the guts out of it, and left it bare bones. Only real good addition to that game was playing as Sting, other than that, the game sucks ass. 2k16 came along and did great things though. Playing through Austins career was an extreme joy, since he was and still is my favorite wrestler in the WWE, and the game in general was cool, but a bit clunky, and still...No backstage action of any sort XD. Now we come to 2k17 FINALLY!!! BACK STAGE HAS COME BACK to wrestling games...I'm very much late for this game, but I bought it, and should have it tomorrow after work lol. Hope it's an improvement over 2k16, and I'm of course gonna go all hardcore on that shit, and go...BACKSTAGE...Maybe be Mick Foley for the first match, he is a hardcore legend, so that would be fitting lol.

[@kamikaze0533]

that thumbnail is hilarious

[@purplesiri901]

Its alright

[@gameranxTV]

Basically.

[@EggNogg]

are the load times better?

[@gameranxTV]

Nope.

[@barbisbae9892]

Well, they are not nearly as long as in WWE 2k15 and 2k16. They are still long, but not as long as before.

[@MiddyRules]

it's a tad bit too long. But it's so much camera cuts that make the matches and entrances look better

[@c_f0rce]

Manuel Polzhofer really? I feel like they are much longer. Idk haven't played the old ones in a while.

[@FancyxToast]

customization load times are golden. they load so much faster than 16. but the online load times are still a bit slow...but not as bad as 16 at all

Smackdown vs Raw 2005 for the Ps2 was the funnest wwe game I've ever had the honor to play with my cousins at a young age. ;P. Haven't played another one ever since.

[@tezzzy2727]

[@FluxRevived]

John Fucking Cena 💯😍💯

[@FluxRevived]

😭

[@janievcraftmovie]

? didnt see him though

[@fullmetalarshole]

first thing I did when the game installed was beat up John Cena 10/10

[@slowwillow1602]

+jan vandoorne I saw him at 4:01

[@janievcraftmovie]

slowwillow160 you dont get it do you?

[@Pyan3z]

Little correction: Double chance for reversal are already a thing in wwe2k16, being major (mid actual move and cost 2 bars) or minor (at the start of a move, costs 1 bar)

[@innershine9556]

There are a lot glitches and issues for starters. when you switch cheer to boo for a superstar or a team it dosen't change it still the same. Not to mention when i did a title match for the IC title Dolph Ziggler Vs. The Miz at No Mercy (Custom Arena) when Dolph comes out with a title when i did not select any title on him. and the Announcer don't work don't fit in on whats going on with the match etc plus Finn Balor new demon attire are not selective in the creation suite and can not customize at all.

[@Mikedaboss123]

before people complained that the games were to easy and the same every year, now their harder and realistic and people still complain lol like shut up 150 plus wrestlers, my career mode, a lot customizing , all the old matches are back, universe mode is back and better than ever and they even took out showcase because people complained and what do fans do complain lol like shut up its annoying

[@Louis-cw7fk]

yeah i agree

[@JohnSmith32643]

No Batista xpac Mohammed Hassan Shelton Benjamin Ken Shamrock Mikey Whipwreck Spike Dudley Big John Studd etc

[@Louis-cw7fk]

Mikey Whipwreck They can't include everyone

[@JohnSmith32643]

Louis Blyth I know but the game is still mediocre and those lack of characters just pisses me off even more

[@Mikedaboss123]

Mikey Whipwreck nobody cares for anyone you just named lol and half those guys are in last years game so play last years game

[@Accesserised]

Wrestling games haven't been good since SvR 2006 ^^

[@tio9896]

Exactly what I was thinking. Even the graphics seem the same to me (I know they're not but it's that just not enough progress has been made).

[@levilichy3905]

What about 360 edition I do have a xbox one but I like the movement and controls in the game for 360 is the dlcs coming for it?

[@1drebucs]

I haven't played a wrestling game since the raw vs smackdown on the ps2. Does this game play the same or is it way different?

[@shawnbuchanan14]

Who else was thinking "Already bought it" ?

[@ikhalid1418]

fuck the effect that makes us unable to reverse.

[@Louis-cw7fk]

You can turn that off... :/

[@ikhalid1418]

Louis Blyth how? i can''t find it

[@Louis-cw7fk]

Options/Gameplay/Reversals/Off

[@ikhalid1418]

Louis Blyth thanks

[@ikhalid1418]

Louis Blyth turned it off but the stupid effect still happens

[@wwetoymatchscott346]

May you please do a video on wwe2k17 and 16 on last gen and do a part we’re you compare them to current gen

[@IzzyDaKid]

Alot of games are becoming ass now. 2016 is the worst year

[@deadaslfrfr6841]

izzybro305 Cod 4 REMASTERED,Bf 1,Dishonored 2,Gears of War 4,Skyrim REMASTERED.

[@IzzyDaKid]

TheBlueChaos - PlayStation Content "Remastered". developers are lazy they have to remaster the great games they once made instead of making another good game

[@johnerrol3813]

izzybro305 Uncharted 4, Ratchet and Clank, Doom, Dark Souls 3 and Overwatch? yeah theres alot of disappointments this year.

[@IzzyDaKid]

John Savage reboots, and sequels to the same shit

[@IzzyDaKid]

John Savage overwatch is fun for a sec but it misses alot of content

[@brainyadmiral5929]

The graphics looks same as WWE 2k16

[@fishhook1]

BRAINY ADMIRAL You gotta notice the new A E S T H E T I C

[@voidofopinion]

Game has a new lighting engine and it makes a huge difference playing in person. The faces were mostly overhauled from 2k16 as well. Certainly doesnt make it a whole new engine but it doesnt look "Exactly the same" either.

[@curtissimmons2287]

voidofopinion they need to add New Match types

[@brainyadmiral5929]

yup

[@jonasp.7795]

The only reason i didn't buy the game ,is because there is no 2k showcase

[@greenghost2212]

Literally everybody I know plays that mode one time lol.

[@SkeeterMcMeatBeater]

They spent more time improving MyCareer & Universe modes for that reason. It was worth it.

[@dbzsuperfan2399]

Wolfman 642 I like it sometimes but since 14 they have sucked I loved 2k14's got more

[@ItsSmiley94]

Honestly I appreciate the review I picked this game up on Black Friday half the price and so far it's decent something new to my collection

[@BlutoBrooklyn456]

im gettin the game dis weekend and im hype for it bigwwefan

[@soldierplays4616]

The graphics looks horrible

[@chunlee8827]

looks like a ps2 game

[@CarterHerrigstad]

truuuuue

[@Lukemasonmedia]

Geoff Brah definitely not true at all but it could look better

[@JobberGames]

have you ever played ps2? you stupid idiot!

[@ThePugLord]

Geoff Brah You must of never played a ps2 game then.

[@ICantSplel]

Playing No Mercy at sleepovers. Royal Rumbles with 4 controllers. Seems an eternity ago. Good times.

[@jaimerivera7872]

I Love These Reviews. Y'all Keep It Up. Like Getting High.

[@huzaifaqureshi3979]

hello game ranx ! nice video there ! plz do more "10 things only gamers ......."

[@gameranxTV]

More in the works.

[@huzaifaqureshi3979]

Thanks ! :)

[@jurterhorst1456]

amazing

[@TakahiroShinsaku]

I really liked that old ps1 classic "WWF SmackDown! 2 Know Your Role" it was pretty crazy and awesome because of those random encounters or backstage ambushes, i think there was a funny scene: After the undertaker has won the Belt, he was ambushed from Kane after the battle and got his belt stolen, somehow☺ (dang that english grammar...)

[@platinumhunter2517]

Should I get 2k16 or just wait until this one drops in price? In no rush to get either, haven't gotten a WWE game since the PS2.

[@20mim20]

i came here to say the thumbnail looks hilarious and leave XD looool

[@sylvankarp1021]

I picked it up day one, I've really enjoyed it so far it may be repetitive at times but it's really fun. Still has a fair bit to improve on though. New features such as the new commentary teams, titles and brand split have not been included.

[@jacques2368]

you forgot to mention that taunting doesn't give you a momentum boost anymore. It gives health boosts and stuff

[@hazycosmicjive9002]

My biggest issue with the last one is that you couldn't put hats on a CAW in ring attire. Did they fix that this time?

[@Saturday13CLIPS]

I can't wait to get this for Christmas

[@ninoagostino13]

I'm a die hard wwe fan I preordered the nxt edition in August when it was first announced and I love the game!

[@Jufiuno]

Do a before you buy on wwe all stars on the PS3 and xbox 360. That's a no mercy style game. Maybe if you make a video about it more the 5 year old game may get a sequel or reprint copies and re enable online mode.

[@MummyThumb]

The CAW face morphing is looking better this year. They need to work on the hair animations though. It's getting better though.

[@ruipires2482]

I have a question, if anyone could answer would be great. I haven't played any wwe games since smackdown vs raw 2010 and I don't know most of the wrestlers in the game roster anymore since I don't follow wwe for more than a few years now... but I miss the fun of playing the games and season modes. Is it worth it just for that or will it fall short after a little while?
