I traded in BF3 and rage for WWE12

After I've spent a few days with it, I'm still just as enamored with it as I was on day 1. Here's the kicker, and it's a fairly big kicker. I've only done the following match types, singles, tag (1x), cage (2x), all out brawl (1x). That's literally it so far. The reason? I'm just getting used to the game, enjoying the gameplay itself, and not wanting to do too many gimmicky matches right off the bat, I'd like to build to that. Ultimately, I've done 1 tag 2 cage and one brawl, the rest (probably numbering around 50 or 60 matches) have been singles matches.

Now, why is any of that relevant? Because for the last 6 years, excluding last year (when I smartened up and got gamefly), I would be like a kid on Christmas, reading the previews, couldn't sleep the night before, gamestop was never open early enough, etc. I'd play the game, be sooooo excited about how great it was. And then the inevitable happened. I'd master the game in a day, and never lose a match on any difficulty after that, unless it was a gimmick match and the CPU pinned or submitted another CPU. Last years was the worst for me, I really enjoyed it a lot right off the bat, then bought online and fan axxess, and almost clicked the "keep" button via gamefly. Played it a few more times the next day, once the day after that, forgot about it, sent it in a week later.

This game on the other hand? I'm still on hard, still losing around 30% of my singles matches, which is only going to go up when I have more than 1 opponent in there, or different match types.

Now, the point of all this? As far as trading in this or that, or should I get it? From someone that still plays and spends time modding No Mercy because they're that disenfranchised with the current crop of wrestling games. I absolutely say if you love wrestling, truly love wrestling, and have been disappointed by the last few iterations of the SvR series. I can absolutely say it's worth a buy, at the very least, rent it. If you're hesitant to purchase it, try and pin down a used copy at Gamestop so you can buy it and use the 7 day satisfaction guarantee return policy to your advantage, and thus take no risk.

Ultimately, this game is far and away the best wrestling game I've played since No Mercy and FPW2. Not to mention it's also a challenge, which is huge for me. It's not perfect, but it's absolutely worth playing for anyone that loves wrestling/wrestling games.

not even close to being boring.. but to each their own!! i find NHL 12 more boring than this. they at least made changes etc in WWE 12, NHL 12 didnt change anything gameplay wise in 5 years.

Wow, I would never.

I can see how you can get boring. Lifeless is more appropriate but in many ways it's the same thing.

MW3? seriously? Well I do have that game. It's called MW1 and MW2. Every COD game after COD4 has been a messy and unimaginitive retread, unless he misses the stupid perks that make it incredibly unbalanced, the same boring maps and guns, bad servers (although WWE12 is not any better) and a 2 hour SP mode then I don't think it's that big a loss. The COD series is simply a money grab. They put out the same game every year. At least WWE 12 rehauled thier gameplay, something COD won't do for another 5 years. Maybe

I love the game, but not being able to download stuff people are creating is setting me back from starting my Wwe universe. Hopefully that's fixed pretty soon.
