Regarding the “Rust” shooting.

Reply in thread

No idea why you are getting so much hate. Anyone who has been taught how to handle a firearm knows to treat every weapon as if it was loaded. It doesn't matter if it's a training firearm which can be a very bright color and has parts visibly drilled out so you can see it will not function, guns firing blanks, an airsoft gun, even something like a pneumatic nail gun, etc. Verify the source of ammunition is empty and there is not a round in the chamber visibly and physically.

I'm not saying everyone in the world should know this, but anyone handling any form of firearm should. Alec Baldwin has been in enough movies and shows where guns were handled that he must have been taught this and seen it as the protocol multiple times.

This is gun safety and it's not a bad thing,.I'm not a huge gun fan myself but promoting firearm safety isn't anything to look down on.

5 Reminders NOT to Pre-Order Games This Year ~ We used to demand trials before buying before, what happened? ~ Stop Pre ordering Games

When AEW Fight Forever I had friends asking if I was going to preorder a game they knew I was buying digitally.

Our games are digital and we cannot run out of stock

We can buy them on our platforms at a moments notice, from the comfort of our homes. The days of lining up at a store until midnight is over. Therefore there is no reason to preorder, if there is a bonus that you must have wait until the last moment read every preview and buy it minutes to release, but remember anything that is given away as a bonus that is separate from the base game is almost always frivolous and doesn't really contribute to the game in any real way.

AEW Fight Forever

Where did the time go?

Granted I've only played about 10 matches so far I don't care that the roster is outdated. I don't mind the short intros (we all skip 90% of em anyway after a while)

RTE is laughable so far, Intense workout Go out and do the media tour option (TV Show, signing etc) Light workout Eat Go to Dynamite/PPV

Doing that gets you 2 work outs it raises your motivation and you will be at full or near full energy at the end of that "week". There's no real strategy to it, just do those 4 things in that order and you won't get injured and you have solid skill gains with no downsides that I can tell. This was supposed to be some big deal mode and it really feels like a slog. Do the same 4 things in the same order go to match win match repeat. None of the things you can do before wrestling are interactive. If you hit the gym you decide on one of three intensities you get a % as to your likelyhood of injury and then you watch the same cut scene. Heavy work out you bench, light work out you squat, occasionally someone will show up and interact with you at the gym usually because you are wrestling them next.

Every location is the same restaurant regardless of what you eat. I'm eating avocado toast or Philly cheese steaks with a bottle of red wine on the table, at a nicer looking restaurant.

The customization is really disappointing, trying to make Mr. Perfect from the 80s is rough. We have a handful of faces, how could we not have more than the selection we have. I'm not expecting a lot but can I have another curly hair that isn't Kenny's? How do we only have these hair options? Hair in a pony tail? Nope! I could go on but unless it's an unlockable (which it shouldn't be it's a pretty common look) it's not in there. That's how low you should be setting the bar for where this game is with character creation.

Graphics are fine but the lack of voice acting is surprising. How many of these people were injured where they couldn't work in the ring but you could have had them go to a recording booth and get some lines into the game. The lack of commentary kills me, and really makes me feel like I'm playing an old game. Especially considering Taz and his antics would be so great for this game.

I was expecting the No Mercy of 2023

What I got was WCW vs NWO World tour of 2003.

I'm really hoping they start adding more to the game soon, the upcoming Stadium Stampede looked really cool until I found out cross play wasn't a thing anymore. I tried to get a game online last night at 9pm and couldn't find a match, which is concerning for a game that released last night (playing on steam).

I would have returned it if I wasn't have so much fun in the ring. The gameplay is able to prop the rest of the game up but it makes all it's shortcomings stand out like HBK selling to Hogan. I'm really hoping for a No Mans Sky level of patching and support. I have no problems supporting this game for years, if they build on this bare bones framework.

How would you change (FIX) the women's division of AEW?

Reply in thread

Have shida run a gang to combat the outsiders but they need to go on the offensive and not just respond. Steal the outsiders jackets and burn em or something. Have Jade show up as the enforcer of the group because she's sick of the outsiders, or maybe the jump her when she first shows up and Shida shows her the value of people that aren't trying to use her.

Months later a renewed Jade competes in a triple for TNT title with Taya and Statlander.

Nyla should be paired with Skye, if you've seen her on Hey EW you know she needs to come out of her shell when speaking and I think Nyla is the person to help do that. Find a good mentor or partner for multiple women do a tag tournament that highlights each wrestler, do some vignettes and promos build it over 2-3 months since this is going to be THE Women's Tag Title to watch. This worked very well for Cole/MJF.

Parity PPVs/TV I know it's not fair to expect 2 blood and guts matches in a single night but we could have a women's lights out match. Baker and Thunderosa showed the crowd would eat it up. 2 women's matches a show should be the minimum. If the main event is a cage March, women's match should be of a similar spectacle. It doesn't need to be the exact same but don't give me a 30 minute banger main event and a 5 minute women's squash match.

2 out of 3 falls Table match Ladder match Falls count anywhere Concession brawls There are options!

We've seen so many weird gimmick matches that were super entertaining, let's give the women some fun ones too!

[Stevie Richards Wrestling Analysis] What Went Wrong? Nia Jax Returns To WWE

Reply in thread

I'm not one to say a wrestler is complete trash.

Phil for example is just a bad person IMHO but he is a safe worker...

Nia is a failed plus size model that was able to get in based on her family. She has a good look because of her size but she is reckless. I was safer as a kid doing stupid wrestling moves with my friends as a kid. (I was very proud that my Hogan leg drop didn't hurt my mom's BF at the time, I wasn't trying to be safe I was just mimicking my hero, and his knee is bent as soon as he jumps up leaving a gap that protects.)

As you grow up you start to notice the HBK leg slaps, the wrestlers put their arms over the middle rope so it rests on their chest and not their neck, you realize it's choreographed and you start finding all the little tricks in the moves that make them possible to do every night without killing people.

Then there is Nia who literally throws her weight around in a reckless fashion, hurting women in her wake. If Jade goes to WWE and she goes up against Nia I could see Nia really hurting her badly thinking that she can take it based on her build.
