The full experience of wrestling games

[RCBH928]

I used to be a huge wrestling fan, and while I got some WCW NItro's to watch I got the full wrestling set of the N64.

I want to get the full experience, I know these games could be played forever. But how much time/stuff-done do you think that I should spend on each game so you would consider that I got each game's full experience and have nothing left out of it?

I am not sure if this question is weird or silly for you...but its important to me to go through the whole experience...its for the memories

I would say 750 hours on each game would be sufficient.

I'm not sure about 750. Perhaps the 880 range would be best. Especially on Attitude. A lot of time really needs to be spent on that game creating various entrances.

Hmm, haven't thought about that. You're right. 880 range is definitely superior if you want to have the best attitude. So if you're able to play it 8 hours a day for 110 days straight, you can have the full experience of 3 wrestling games per year. That would be quite the accomplishment.

Most of those older game's single-player "campaigns" are just a bunch of matches as you work your way up the title ranks with no storylines of any sort. Storylines didn't become the norm in wrestling games really until 6th generation games. And working your way up those ranks in the old games usually took a while.

I'd suggest getting some friends together and playing the game multiplayer, unless you have that much patience which archaic controls and archaic A.I. and lots of time on your hands. (Yeah, I know this is a retro site and all, but wrestling games really have aged poorly)

I don't think I would call any of the controls in the AKI/THQ games 'archaic'. Modern wrestling games still haven't gotten the feel of those controls right.

You don't find those games to have stiff and some times glitchy controls (like your character's hand going through the other wrestler's body)? Especially in comparison to today's games? Have you played any of the older wrestling games lately?

what about 800+ hours of this one?



I think when it comes to wrestling games, its a generation thing. Every couple of years a new game comes out and kids like to play the relevant game.

Kids now See John Cena on the most recent ps3/360 game.

A few years ago it was Steve Austin and the Rock on the Dreamcast.

Do you think any kids now will care about WCW vs The World on PS1? Only us as retrogamers and maybe wrestling fans will like that one.

My brother and I played WCW vs the World to death back in the day. But I dont think I have the patience now. Maybe for a couple of minutes or matches.

These games are what we remember them in our youth and our childhood rose colored glasses.

I play the AKI games all the time.

Newer ones simply aren't as fun.

What are the AKI ones? I only played WWF and WCW games.
