    If the fans legitimately don't know who you are, through what magical means are they supposed to care, other than the booking? I mean I realize it was over a decade ago but Chyna got over because she worked with HBK and Triple H and was made to look good during Triple H's matches. If you just threw Chyna into a twelve minute match with Alundra Blayze, the crowd wouldn't care because it would have no idea who she was.

    A more recent example, AJ Lee got crazy over through working with Daniel Bryan, CM Punk and Kane.

     

    I absolutely agree - Daniel Bryan was able to get over despite constantly being trashed on commentary because enough people knew his history in RoH, they could see he was being held back. Sadly we can't say the same for Becky's indie work from nine+ years ago, Bayley and Sasha don't have much of a reputation from their time on the indies, and Charlotte has no experience prior to WWE.

     

    Other than vaguely referencing their NXT titles/catchphrases (The Boss, Life Enthusiast, Genetically Superior) and sadly focusing way too much on trying to make Charlotte into L'il Naitch v8.0, we just don't have anything to go on.

    I know it's Russo but even he is discrediting this finishes! They make some really great points here. I can see when somebody drops a title at ROH to go to WWE because 99% of your WWE audience does not watch the indies...but when you been showcased on the main show but you go back down to development to drop your title before moving on is pretty questionable.

    If Russo was booking SS, John Stewart would be WWE Champion right now.

    just read that Hogan may get jail time now. Apparently he is telling a different story under oath than to the FBI could get time regardless of which is the apparent lie.

     

    Come on, Hogan may be a racist, but he's not a liar. Remember when the 700lb Andre The Giant died from being bodyslammed at WM3 in front of 500,000 screaming Hulkamaniacs, shortly before Hogan went on tour as Metallica's bassist?

    This game looked cool until I seen the price. Than I was like. ohh. Nevermind

     

    Then I would call you a fool, sir. Having logged 94 hours into this game (which isn't even complete yet), I say it's well worth the price!

    ...as in going into MK I only knew ONE character, that being Scorpion... I see there's a story, so I'll probably do that. But otherwise, ya, it's pretty good in my opinion.

    You should rent and play the story mode of MK(9) first - they rebooted the story with that one, so it would be the ideal start point, whereas MKX's story relies on a lot of the stuff that happened in 9, and might seem confusing or just not have as much impact otherwise.

    I'm not sure with Watchdogs, I have it on PC and both my brothers have it, one on a PS4 and the other on an Xbox One, and on my PC it looks very obviously better in comparison to both.

     

    But, yeah, it's taxing. I have an i7 with 32GB RAM and a lot of air circulation / decent fans, and it still makes my tower so hot that I could probably cook my dinner on it. It's the only game I own that does this.

     

    Oh for sure it looks better on PC than console, but even at maximum settings the world still feels bland to me, and it makes some sad shortcuts like "reflections" that don't change based on your perspective. For the heat and noise it causes, I'd expect a bit more.

    What he ^ said. ;) (I didn't edit the quote, honest...)

     

    But I think Clarity was referring solely to backwards compatibility though, which the XB1 doesn't have.

    I also hold that edited statement to be true, so you're all good there :p

     

    Backwards compatibility for Rock Band DLC is available on both platforms, but because licensing is handled by first-party (Sony & MS), you can't take it cross-platform. You can go 360 to X1 or PS3 to PS4, but not 360 to PS4 or PS3 to X1.
