I hadn't played a WWE game since like 2K13 and decided to give one of them a go again with 2K23.
Holy shit this MyRise mode sucks so much. I can't believe they actually invested any resources into it with how horrible it turned out.
>Women's bullshit
>Awful, cringe dialogue.
>Voice acting even for non-wrestlers is beyond sub-par and often uncomfortable to listen to.
>The actual recording of voice acting is terrible in itself. Some wrestlers sound as if they are recording their lines through a tin can and some string, others are muffled, others echo as if they're recording in a large room without soundproofing.
>The facial rigging with expressions and speaking is embarrassing and most characters end up looking FIENDISH.
>The story is awful and generally makes no sense, without any logical progression. Things just happen.
>So much of the dialogue is dedicated to talking about how amazing WWE is, and how they are advocates for women's rights for some reason.
>It is laced with eye-rolling humor, which is generally self-referential smark bullshit like making jokes about nepotism hires, etc.
Why the fuck would anybody play this?
Why did they make this mode?
