I deleted this shyt after one match. The other match froze up and after 45 seconds I hit delete game from my PS5.
They spent three years trying to make a 25 year old game. How did they think that was going to work? No mercy was great for its time but I don’t want a wrestling game with no entrances, no voice dialog, no universe mode and a story mode that looks like it was made in the late 80’s.I honestly think they should have gone with the standard simulation style format WWE2k follows and called it a day. I would have bought it. I never played No Mercy so their attempt at recreating that was never appealing to me.
People romanticize No Mercy because of nostalgia, but you really see how limited it is compared to today's wrestling games. When the argument in favor of it is about how you much you can mod it on the pc, then you really don't have a good argument. The problem with trying to make it a sim version like 2k, is that it would've just felt like a cheap 2k knockoff. That's why it should've been more like HCTP, since there's no other game like it currently on the market.I honestly think they should have gone with the standard simulation style format WWE2k follows and called it a day.

I knew I wouldn't like it when the create a wrestler was limited to what you could do.People romanticize No Mercy because of nostalgia, but you really see how limited it is compared to today's wrestling games.

That was my main problem, too. I could overlook the bad graphics, the bugs, & the unnecessary minigames; but a modern wrestling game without a decent creation suite isn't even worth the trip to GameStop.I knew I wouldn't like it when the create a wrestler was limited to what you could do.
This game had a 10 milly plus budget with THQ/Yukes, instead you can catch me on WCW Feel the Bang.
