Sunny Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 </br> </br> ↙↙↙ </br> Post 1Ok so I couldnt help it, I had to go back up to best buy and play some more... This time I gave in to my urge and decided to play Universe... but I couldnt play without editing some moves, entrances & SS threads... (I didnt do a whole lot tho and yes I know its stupid since I'll have to do it all over again once i get the game... but i couldnt play it with things looking out of place) Ok, now Im gonna be honest with you, my experience this time was both satisfying and disappointing at the same time (yea there are some disappointments coming up so brace yourself)<br> <br> Things you should know:<br> - I dont care who you are, <strong class="bbc">It will definitely take a while to get the hang of the new controls</strong>, between running being "LT" and secondary running moves being "Hold A" among other changes... it'll have you confused for a while. <br> - First off I wanna say, the camera angles on this game + the HD graphics are mind blowing at times. <br> - <strong class="bbc">Cut Scenes are alot more random now:</strong> I played with Orton (no allies or rivals) vs. Jack Swagger... during the entrance, Christian (who is 2nd contender behind Orton in the rankings) came out attacked me then through me in the ring, then after the match Mark Henry came out and hit me with the title and attacked me. <br> - <strong class="bbc">I had a huge problem with this:</strong> Every time you go back to the show's card and start another match, it shows the 5 second Raw opener all over again (minus the music and pyro and u cant skip it) this was kind of annoying.<br> - <strong class="bbc">Correction:</strong> You can only change 1 match at a time, when you change it you have to play the match, if you back up it'll go back to the original match. (this and the last comment was really disappointing, its sort of like Universe was made to flow the way they have it already set)<br> - <strong class="bbc">On a Brighter Note: </strong> seems like Universe really tailors itself after the fueds and alliances you create (better than last year)... I went in and setup allies, rivals and changed some other settings and I immediately seen things change in the Universe. I eliminated all Divas from raw and smackdown and it wiped out divas from the card completely.<br> - You have to have at least 15 superstars on your monday/friday shows. (I tried to remove most jobbers from RAW and Smackdown and after I got down to 15 it wouldn't let me remove anyone else)<br> - I know this may sound a little pu**yish (lol) but sometimes <strong class="bbc">the game's difficulty gets a little too hard</strong>, at random (if that makes any sense)... The game was on Normal, I played with Undertaker and took on Henry, it was pretty easy, then I played with Daniel Bryan and took on Tyson Kidd on Superstars and no matter what I couldn't get the upper hand, then I got my comeback long after I should have got it (his is a little easier to hit since you send them to the corner first) but still on the last part of the comeback Kidd countered it, then it was a wrap he hit his sig then finisher and it was a wrap... then I played a 6 man tag match: Miz/Truth/Alberto vs. Punk/Ryder/Cena and it was the same thing... took forever to get my comeback with Punk (gave him Morrison's) then when I ran at Miz to hit "Y" he reversed it before I even hit him and got it started, then I finally got up and tried it again and once again he reversed it... then the comeback was gone... Finally tagged in Cena, then it was the same thing but this time with R-Truth... he reversed it every time i ran at him to hit the Y button... it was kind of frustrating... long story short we lost <img src="http://caws.ws/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif" class="bbc_emoticon" alt=""><br> - Refreshing but frustrating: <strong class="bbc">Comebacks are very hard to execute on A.I </strong> and even if you manage to get it started chances are the A.I will reverse it before you finish the full sequence (and this is on Normal). <br> - The reason why I said the difficulty is a little random is because sometimes when matches start you can attack the A.I with no problem, I mean you can sometimes dominate, til the point where it feels too easy, then soon as you let up, all of a sudden the A.I feels invincible, like they reverse all of your running moves and sometimes not even let you get up off the mat to make a comeback... and it doesnt help that <strong class="bbc">its much more harder to kick out of pins this year</strong> (I played last year with the same kick out system but this year the margin where you need to let go out of A button is alot smaller, it really takes concentration). Seems like you always have a stored finisher though but the problem is everytime I tried to hit that finisher out of desperation, they would reverse it and get a flaming finisher then do a wake up taunt and unless your a master at timing that very tiny reverse window YOUR PRETTY DONE.<br> - Daniel Bryan's moveset is pretty awesome and Tyson Kidd's isn't bad either... he hit a normal suplex on me that was EPIC... it was a new animation and it was the best animation suplex I've ever seen.<br> - I truly don't know if you can change "Superstars" name/logo I tried but couldn't figure it out at all (hoping that I just wasn't doing something right)<br> <br> <em class="bbc">I took some pics and have some things to say about SS threads and CAM... uploading the pics as we speak... be back with more in 5-10 mins...</em> Post 2Now on to the little slideshow...<br> <br> I found this interesting... They have newly animated taunts for Jericho who is now "King Of The World"<br> <img src="http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/8949/img0174jf.jpg" alt="Posted Image" class="bbc_img"><br> <br> Makes me think that Jericho really must have been slated to be in WWE12 but something happened... hmmm<br> <img src="http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/8287/img0173u.jpg" alt="Posted Image" class="bbc_img"><br> <br> I took a couple shots of the standing breaking point submissions for those asking about them.<br> <img src="http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/4159/img0181nr.jpg" alt="Posted Image" class="bbc_img"><br> <img src="http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/2971/img0182qb.jpg" alt="Posted Image" class="bbc_img"><br> <br> Daniel Bryan's Groggy Grapples (All 4 are new)<br> <img src="http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/6627/img0184i.jpg" alt="Posted Image" class="bbc_img"><br> <br> Made Sin Cara black (i didn't know the specific colors of Sin Cara Negro so I just changed the main color to black but I can tell you that you can chose every little detail on his costume)<br> <img src="http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/3959/img0186wz.jpg" alt="Posted Image" class="bbc_img"><br> <img src="http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/2880/img0187ot.jpg" alt="Posted Image" class="bbc_img"><br> <br> Generic themes are actually named this year and R-Truth's old theme is actually in too, (No Nexus)<br> <img src="http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/6541/img0189.jpg" alt="Posted Image" class="bbc_img"><br> <br> Updated ADR's costume a bit<br> <img src="http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/3089/img0185ai.jpg" alt="Posted Image" class="bbc_img"><br> <br> After I unlocked Brock I checked out his moveset, The F5-3 isn't in his moveset but its another reanimated one, and man is it sick. I think its better than the one thats assigned to him... His other finisher is the shooting star press (Evan Bourne's)... Sadly though there's not too many of his specific moves in his moveset, he has some pretty beasty back grapples though.<br> <img src="http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/6475/img0191ug.jpg" alt="Posted Image" class="bbc_img"><br> <img src="http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/7002/img0190sz.jpg" alt="Posted Image" class="bbc_img"><br> <img src="http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/3125/img0192eh.jpg" alt="Posted Image" class="bbc_img"><br> <br> Notes: <br> - One thing I noticed is <strong class="bbc">alot</strong> of moves are in multiple categories now, for example: you'll see "Full Nelson Slam 4" under back grapples, running back grapples, and irish whip rebound. Just like you see with the regal plex... its like that with other moves also.<br> - Corner grapples (when set as signature/finisher) can now be hit while running, for example: CM Punk's running shining wizard/bulldog is a corner grapple. Also I forgot to add this,<br> This new springboard moonsault is sick, jumps up to the 3rd rope and gets some major hangtime. (nice animation)<br> <img src="http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/4256/img0179o.jpg" alt="Posted Image" class="bbc_img"> Quote
