Which wrestling game had the best story mode?
Raw 2. Sneak around backstage setting traps, sneak into women's locker rooms to steal their panties, trick dumb motherfuckers into attacking other dumb motherfuckers and start feuding. Fucking peak, bro.
TNA Impact
the one where candice michelle is a shoot wizard and turns you into a diva and you have to beat her in a ladder match for the wand
>>19859328unironically came here to post this. we need more genderbender angles in wwe games
>>19858558I remember this storyline being random as fuck, teddy gets run over and it somehow turns into an ECW invasion
>>19858558Incidentally, this is the one area where Wrestling Empire doesn't outshine other games, even despite the fact that the majority of its gameplay is stuff that would paradoxically feel at home in most games' story modes
I cant remember which one but one of the svr games I played on psp had a part in the story where your character gets turned into a chick and that was my first boner

WWF Betrayal was a beat em up game where you have to save Stephanie like she is a princesshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqNR6sRcEec
>>19860502What the fuck did all those refs do to deserve to get murdered
>>19860502I wish they experimented more like this. I would love if they let Capcom make a WWE vs Capcom game.
the legacy myrise in 2K23 was alright. i like how the story felt continuous with the occasional short angle breaking up the plot. it felt like a story mode with an actual story and characters. i also really liked ava moreno, she has a cool dynamic with lj. the i forgot what it’s called the unleashed? the unleashed from 2K24 is okay. the cap is kinda likable but there’s no real plot going on until the very end of the story, and even that part is kind of not that interesting. being constantly forced to play as that other girl is incredibly annoying too, she has the most hideous design ever and her moveset is just annoying. the indisputed from 2k24 was incredibly boring. interesting premise on paper, but the actual story is incredibly repetitive and tedious. it’s basically the same angle played over and over again, where your CAW constantly gets screwed over by that douchebag booker repeatedly. i didn’t even bother finishing the story. the 2k25 myrise is just depressing to play. all the villains are lame. the story is also basically just a shortened version of a myrise story, played three times. the characters constantly making shallow references to the lore you picked for them is lame too. it feels like the lore is just there for your characters to randomly reference and insert into their dialogue unnaturally. overall i’d say 2k23’s the legacy is worth a playthrough. the rest of the other myrises are just shit at best
HCTP
>>19858558Smackdown here comes the pain had so many branching storylines I couldnt count on both my hands both my feet and your hands and feet and someone elses hands and feet maybe even a fourth.There were tag storiesSingles storiesFaction storiesChasing championshipsDefending championshipsGoing up against vince or a gmTrade storysJust random singles fued shit because that god damn eddie Guerrero pissed off that I am dominicks favorite wrestler.Never duplicated.HCTP storylines make HCTP the best wrestling game of all time
>>19860502The only "belt scroller" beat em up on GB and GBC is a WWF game. It's actually not horrible either.
>>19860502It’d be cool if they did crazy shit like this again. The games nowadays try too hard to emulate real life angles and never take advantage of the fact that it’s a videogame and they can go even crazier with it. That Twisted Metal knockoff comes to mind, but of course it doesn’t necessarily have to change the gameplay of it. Having some sort of adventure beat em up with the gameplay of the main games would suffice
>>19861162There's the Double Dragon games for starters
the wwe crush hour story is insane
>>19861120This
That one fire pro game gets boiled down to Ric flair kills all your friends and then you kill yourself is more about how ambition strips us of our humanity.
