How is MyRise this time around?

[RustPickle]

I really didn't like the pacing and setup of the last game's MyRise, so I'm wondering what's different this time around?

My Rise Lock story is....so far, not fantastic. A good part of the story is still told from the perspective of "social media". You will see a lot of returning custom story characters in this one. Even seen one crossover character from Legacy story into Lock story, but as a side story. (I won't go into anymore without spoiling)

More cohesive than 22. There's an actual storyline to follow now.

Don't bother with a custom entrance for the lock. You can't use it with a championship - and he gets one in the 1st match. Mid-way through chapter 3 and I've seen his entrance once.

Same with custom attire. 2 chapters before you can use it.

And the announcers still call him the lock during entrances and victories, even after you (finally) get rid of that attire.

its decent this time ngl. but careful going down Legacy story, you will hit a wall where you get stuck on load screen and it takes you back to menu and you get stuck in that loop. i cant play my Harley Quinn i made anymore :(

Pretty bland. Really trying to get into this mode, but its bland.
Also, everyone seems vampires, their eyes are super black.

I've just finished the legacy. No problems for me.

Yea it's fun I like the legacy story so far.. it uses some of the same things from the old game with the story telling and getting different outcomes. You def have to play more than once lol.

Just finished the Legacy (female) storyline. The twist at the end if obvious and you'll see it a mile away. There is a ton of padding to obviously draw the mode out longer than it should. But the actual core story is actually pretty decent. Better than most WWE angles anyway.

The characters are mostly done well, including who they use for the various matches. But there are a few blatant errors that should have been caught with playtesting... or just story reviewing.

1. There's a subplot in which you retire a wrestler (banish them from the WWE), but then you see them not long after as if nothing happened.

2. The champion is a very odd choice. Why did they pick her? Lol

3. There's a subplot in which you dress up with a fake title for a match, and the screen and announcers actually call you the champion. They clearly wanted the entrance and the entrance is linked to that audio announcing.

There are probably some more in the Legacy that I missed, and some in The Lock, which I haven't played through yet. But mostly minior nit picks. For a videogame, the story is pretty well done, if quite bloated with filler.

Definitely a larger upgrade than the last 2K game.
