Great Moments in WWE '12 History

"I was able to get on community creations long enough to download a sweet AJ Styles."
"Oh, cool. Show me."
*pulls up roster, AJ is at the very top. AJ as in cute nerd from NXT AJ*
"WHO THE HELL IS AJ?"
"That new girl from NXT."
"WHY DO I HAVE HER? WHERE'S AJ STYLES?"
"Did you not look at the picture before you downloaded it?"
"NO. IT JUST SAID AJ AND I DOWNLOADED IT WHILE IT WAS WORKING. I HATE THIS GAME."

You make the rainfall.

Also, something I hadn't seen before: I was playing as Big Show, and beat Drew McIntyre in a pretty brutal back and forth singles match on RAW. Drew ended up leaving on a stretcher, and now he's unavailable for matches. The brand logo next to his name is replaced by a blood spot right now.

Same thing just happened to me right now. Beat Kofi with Zack Ryder, and Kofi was rolled out. Kinda funny that Ryder of all people put him out. Sucky because I was trying to build up Air Boom.

Funny moment when I was playing yesterday (this cutscene may have been in last year's game, but I don't remember): In my WWE Universe, Brock Lesnar and Dolph Ziggler formed an alliance that morphed into a tag team. Brock beat Randy Orton fairly handily in a one-on-one match, while Ziggler was at ringside playing "manager". Dolph came in with a chair and started wailing on Randy. Brock then stops him, as if to say Orton had enough. Then Brock grabbed the chair and started laying into Orton some more. Funny stuff.

I had a similar occurrence at a friends house the other evening. We did Kane vs Stone Cold for the WCW title. Kane won following 3 Tombstones, Austin was Stretchered out, and we received an update saying Austin would be out indefinitely.

Well, the man does have a bad neck, after all.

My created wrestler took out Alberto Del Rio for three months. Three times Del Rio came back from injury to attack my CAW...and three times the game refused to pass the next loading screen and didn't save. Del Rio finally came back to attack someone else and it went through.

 

[FLAM]

I was finally able to download some CAW's, finishing moves and custom rings just now. So far got Jericho, Tyler Black, AJ Styles, and Hiroshi Tanahashi. Trying to create a good Phoenix Splash for Black, because all of the ones I've downloaded are terrible. Jericho's really well done, but it sucks that there's no Lionsault in this game. Also, I wonder if you can upload the Y2J song and use it as entrance music. I read you can do that in previous games.

Universe is pretty good right now. I ended up winning the Royal Rumble with William Regal, so it'll be Regal vs Punk for the WWE Championship at Mania.

 

[Dobbs3K]

The CAWs are really hit or miss so far, from what I've found. I downloaded a really good Jericho, but the Goldberg I downloaded had a terrible moveset. Someone set his finisher as a DDT, and didn't give him a spear. Fortunately you can fix this stuff, but it's just annoying how lazy some folks are.

 

[FLAM]

Yeah I ended up deleting a bunch of CAWS because some uploaders prevent you from editing the move-sets. Annoying. Austin Aries and Christopher Daniels both had a DDT for a finisher.

I picked up WWE All Stars on clearance for $14 at Target yesterday. I've played the demo many times, and enjoyed the campiness of it. The game as a whole is a lot of fun thus far. The controls are night and day from the Smackdown series, but I don't think it will be too hard to get used to.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

I would just like to add that this game has now locked up on me twice.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

The first time I ever tried to do the 619 (the Hero story), Rey just ran in place against the ropes for 30 seconds, then Big Show apparently bumped off nothing before Rey leaped in the air to splash him. It was pretty amusing.

 

[Mattdotcom]

I'm really starting to question all those reviews calling this the best wrestling game ever.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Well, "Windsor, Ontario" somehow made the cut of Canadian cities you can be billed from, so yes, greatest ever. I actually find this a bit suspicious.

 

[Baby Shoes]

I know there is the achievement for having at least 5 other people download something you've put on Community Creations. For those like me who aren't going to make something people will go seeking out, post creation stuff you've uploaded so we can help each other out. I haven't loaded anything myself yet but will post here when I do.

 

[FLAM]

If it's PS3, I'll help you out.

Is there a way to get out of the Hell in a Cell? I'm not crazy about the controls for the gimmick matches. Can't figure out table mechanics either.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Tables, just irish whip them into it and then grapple to set up a top rope splash. Anything other move you do normally but aim at the table. I think, anyway.

 

[cheex incarnate]

what month does it start you in when you begin universe mode?

 

[elgigante]

Universe mode starts in January.

 

[Toxxic]

Is it still possible to make an entrance video based off a Highlight Reel? It looks like it should be, but when I've apparently made one and go to 'Custom Entrance Movie' on create an entrance there's nothing there. And if I make a custom entrance it's just footage of my guy beating up Vince and standing around, not any of the highlights I'd saved.

 

[Dangerous Damon]

I think you have to encode the video you made.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Has anyone had the "spooky event" in Universe mode? Kane and Cena were going at and then bam, lights turned blue, then the screen went black, then it came back and Kane and Cena were both knocked out. I suspect Undertaker was behind this. Undertaker apparently used more magic (or a glitch) when I had Kane interfere in his match with Del Rio. I choke slammed him twice and Tombstoned him twice, Alberto pinned him, I woke up the ref... and the cut-scene was Undertaker pinning Alberto, which then made Taker and Kane allies instead of rivals.

After downloading the latest DLC, I had a ticker randomly pop-up on the bottom of the screen when I was setting up a match alerting me what the top 6 CAWs were (the thumbnail image for #5, "White Ranger", looked pretty sweet).

 

[bps21]

Now that the servers are working I downloaded a ton of wrestlers. There are some fucking great ones out there.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

Have any of you guys played the AAA Lucha game? I got it for Xmas but haven't tried it yet since I also get SmackdownRaw2011 and I've been playing that one and enjoying it fairly well. Still getting used to the 360 in general. I've heard the AAA game isn't very good in reviews but I also don't know anyone who's actually played it.

 

[fazzle]

Doesn't the AAA game use the same engine as the shitty TNA game?

 

[Mazto]

AAA's controls are awkward, and sometimes you'll punch a guy right in teh face and it doesn't register properly, and CAW's are pretty limited in what you can do.

The only bonus is having luchadors explain lucha to you.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

The latest Funtime Arcade (King of the Ring) finally used proper aspect ratios on the game footage. Hooray! Also, I love watching the episodes on the TV viathe 360 youtube app.

I also missed Monsoon_Classic winning the #WhatJoeDidLastWeek shout-out contest the first time I watched the episode it was featured in. Good work!

 

[Damaramu]

So should I trade in my copy of WWE All Stars and get WWE 12? I've pretty much done all I want in All-Stars. I spent money on the downloads but I've barely used them.

Also I'm reading up on the modes. Road to WM is a mode where you don't pick your character and you just follow what the game has in a linear fashion right?

 

[Just Call Me Dan]

Correct, I think it is pretty fun and has just as much of a pick up and play value as All-Stars.
When do we finally get Batista, Foley, and Savage?

 

[Baby Shoes]

he only thought I have on trading your All Stars, Dama, is the trade value probably has tanked or is about to tank. The game has just started to be seen on more markdowns and sales now where you probably will get under $10 on the trade now.

I like this year's a lot but I'm a bad one to ask because I always spend time on the wrestling games, regardless of quality.
