Day of Reckoning Question

[VengeanceGOD]

Why is this game so fucking frustrating?

It's not that it's not fun. Unfortunately, it is, and I keep going back. But the fact that I can't land a hit without getting countered on LANCE STORM, who seems to be the invincible man or something, is rediculous. Not to mention the fact that my wrestler takes a punch and a have to mash the a button for 10 minutes while my opponent goes to town, but I put them through an ANNOUNCE TABLE and they're fine. Argh.

Day of Reckoning is OK but I got bored of it real quick. It was sort of frustrating to try and counter an attack or grapple. The L and R buttons are way too "springy"

OMG!!! someone feels my pain!

I recall wanting to destroy my Gamecube controller many times after fucking pressing the damn buttons for MINUTES UPON MINUTES UPON fucking MINUTES and my wrestler still in a fucking coma. The controls were the only downfall in the game imo.

My advice, go with SmackDown! vs. Raw IT OWNS DOR.

OMG!!! someone feels my pain!

Oh... I know all about it. :shakefist GC controller sucks balls!

My advice, go with SmackDown! vs. Raw IT OWNS DOR.

Agreed but I still recommend Here Comes The Pain. I still like it better than SmackDown vs RAW.

1000th Post!!! Wooo!!!! :dance:

No, it's not the controller. The GC controller is the best design out there. The game design sucks ass. Not in a Wrestlemania XIX way, but still sucks ass.

How is it that the Nintendo systems can go from having the best wrestling game of all time, No Mercy, to these pieces of unmitigated crap?

Again, my wrestler should be able to take one move, thirty seconds into the match, without me having to spend 20 minutes mashing the A button to stand up again.

No, it's not the controller. The GC controller is the best design out there.

I disagree. My vote goes to the Dualshock 2.

How is it that the Nintendo systems can go from having the best wrestling game of all time, No Mercy, to these pieces of unmitigated crap?

Because Nintendo doesn't actually make these games. AKI, the best wrestling game developer imo, made the classic No Mercy. Yukes is the developer that has made these recent games for the Cube. They seem to focus most of thier time and energy on the PS2 SmackDown series because thier GC releases haven't been up to par.

Wrestlemania XIX made me vomit.

 

[Hariken]

Ugh... The Revenge Mode was the worst piece of crap I've ever seen.

 

[Genocider]

... and this is why I completed the game once and took it back for a full-refund. ^__^

 

[VengeanceGOD]

I couldn't get a full refund. Needless to say, I was annoyed.

What wrestling games does AKI make now?
