Character creation would have been baller

[Doctrine Dark]

Man I see a RPG wrestling game and thought about how awesome it would be to create a character. Any other games similar to this or RPG styled fighters with character creation

[Mac Dank]

So is it confirmed there is no character creation? I was thinking the same.

It seems to be a JRPG.

Character creation and silent protagonists don't belong in modern JRPGs. Go play Baldur's Gate 3 or something (not that there's anything wrong with that. It's a great game).

My only issue with the game is that they went for an E rating instead of a T.

But we'll see how much of an issue it turns out to be when the game comes out.

even tho there are plenty of jrpgs with character creation I see the point you where trying to make. IE the game has a set character and story so character creation wouldn't work. I disagree but see the point

JRPGs have character creation lol anyway yeah this one not having it and then I have to play as wrestlers that weren't my favorite? Lmao, also early reviews give this a 4/10.

I promise these features would improve it, anyone saying otherwise doesn't want the game to succeed. It sounds like the game has NOTHING to worry about lol

Like you're explaining why the game should suck more that's it. Remember if more people want a feature in the game, it's not like you get a phone call asking if it traditionally should

(JRPGs have scads of character creation, I will link if asked because they're genuinely good JRPGs still and absolutely work better with a silent protag that many JRPGs still have, get educated. So effing stupid to go through life with such thought processes, on a stick)

Create-a-wrassler would've been much better in my opinion as well; they could've even had the main character play second fiddle to their Macho Man insert.

Yeah not gonna lie the delay plus I THOUGHT we were actually going to create our own character as an upstart in the world of wrestling but apparently not honestly I'm not digging this game so much anymore.

If the gameplay from the demo is accurate, yes - we will be playing as a Macho Man knock-off instead of a created wrestler.

That in itself is problematic as well, because it just feels... I don't know... disrespectful..? Maybe I'm reading into it too much.

Regardless, I personally would rather play a voiceless antagonist (since it seems to be the inevitable fate of 'created characters' in RPGs evidently) than that character at any rate. Just my opinion, anyway.

Yeah don't get me wrong I have no problem with Macho Man he just never was it for me. I was more of a Hulk Hogan fan.

Oh, I hear ya - I was mostly a fan of his energy and those Slim Jim commercials.

Sting (pre-'Crow' aesthetic) was one of the first wrestlers I was a fan of in my youth, but later in life, I thought Razor Ramon was cooler.

Ironic how those would wind up joining into the NWO some years down the line.

The game was literally never, ever, once advertised in the last couple of years as having a create a character feature.

I obviously can't speak to other's presuppositions, but mine comes from the fact that this is a wrestling game; that genre is usually king of character creation and customization, even beating out hardcore RPGs, in many cases.

I mean, sure, the demo should be a clear red flag to the contrary, but I guess people were still holding out hope that we were merely playing as Muchacho Man to 'learn the ropes' before the full game released...?

A character creator would have been awesome... To be able to hobnob with the greats as an wrestler aspect of yourself would have made the game...
