It's a shame No Mercy is the better game because this has clearly the superior roster. Over half of No Mercy is jobber lower card jabronis that nobody would want to ever play.
Who are YOU to doubt El Dandy?
>>18837735No Mercy has more match types and story mode, that definitely helps. I still think Revenge blows it out of the water. My all time favorite US based wrestling game roster.
>>18837735Wonder how Raven randomly landed this legendary cover
>>18837768Someone who was making the game was a fan of his if I remember right. Coincidentally it helped tie into the main 4 factions featured in the game. nWo Hollywood, Wolfpac, The Flock and WCW itself.
>>18837735WM2000's roster is peak
>>18837768Sanders Keel who worked at THQ was a Raven mark since his ECW days
>>18837766Mine too. Also maybe my favorite intro movie. That fucking big rig lol. I believe I put the most time in World Tour by far though. Christmas '97, we got Diddy Kong Racing and World Tour, both with strategy guides - so I obsessively learned the ins and outs. I remember taping matches with my friend. Lovely days. Had a handful of Saturn games I couldn't really get into bc of the language barrier. Idk No Mercy may be better, I just didn't play it much
>>18837750La Parka's dance animation alone is worth it
>>18837768>>18837776I was a kid who watched WWF at the time instead of WCW, and it made me think Raven must've been a really big deal to be on the cover with those guys.
>>18837776I didn't know this but cool. And yeah the only guy I could think to be there instead would be DDP.>>18837832He had a big push and I personally was a big mark. I'm not sure how popular he actually was but he seemed to get the right kind of heat.
>>18837832I watched WCW my whole life until it shut down and was actually convinced that Steven Richards was somehow getting a giant push in WWF because I didn’t know that he replaced The Giant/The Big Show in No Mercy’s story modes
>>18837735maybe.... but no mercy has create a character....
>>18837802>Mine too. Also maybe my favorite intro movie. That fucking big rig lol.Always been partial to Mayhem's create-a-jew lab.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2CkOcy-W6k
>>18837766>I still think Revenge blows it out of the waterrevenge has a special place in my heart, but there is NOTHING better about revenge. revenge for sure is better than WM2000
>>18837735As a retarded kid I got Wrestlemania 2000 and No Mercy at the same time. I always played WM2000 because it's Wrestlemania branded, of course it's better than the B-PPV game
>>18837768I mean, Raven was always an upper midcard guy in WCW. He always had a storyline or feud going on. He was infinitely treated better there than WWE although that’s not saying much.
>>18837735>Tried SYM, HCTP, JBI, SvR '06, SvR '07>All fun, but the controls just suck compared to 64 titles.>Just want a game that has all the 64 Rosters with the PS2 rosters with the gameplay of the 64 games.>WWE All-Stars had perfect gameplay, but small roster.
Wrestling Empire is where everyone needs to look if they're looking for a modern AKI game.
>>18838006>Wrestling EmpireYes and no. Gameplay is shit, but everything else about the game is great Dickie.
>>18838222Maybe I just haven't played the 64 games in too long so the gameplay in Empire seems great to me. But yeah, the career stuff and writing is worth the price alone.I only have WWE 2K23 for recent games, I've never don't any career modes in 2k but I kind of want to now. Worth it? The tutorial in that game was difficult but I was also drunk so I gave up playing
