Did i make a huge mistake by buying this?
So i feel that i basicly just threw away 50 euro's on this game.

I love wrestling but i'm really regretting buying this game.
As far as i can figure i think without a controller this game is unplayable.

I bought this yesterday but i cant get past Bobby Roode in the Title Match at NXT TakeOver because for some stupid reason my character is stupid AF.
Once he gets me on the mat/floor in a million years i cant get up for some reason, plus whenever he pins me i cant get out of it because of the stupid buttons not working.

Is it the game or am i missing something here?
I really want to find a reason to like this game but at this point i just cant...

I don't think it's unplayable with keyboard, but it's certainly not nearly as intuitive. All I can say about that is it may be worth investing in a controller at some point, not just for this game either.

Slow recovery times can be a pain as you tend to make you rely on reversals to get back in control. Reversals are practically the core mechanic here. Once you can land them efficiently and somewhat consistently, you'll dominate the AI more often than not. I'm not sure what's going on with your buttons not working, though.

Maybe try your hand at creative design or fantasy booking your Universe mode. The whole MyPlayer mode is probably the worst portion of the game in my extremely biased opinion.

Thank you for your input.

As to your comment about investing in a controller, I had one but it broke the night i started playing this.
During the tutorial thing at the Preformance Center it was working but it died shortly after.

R.I.P 2,5y/o controller.

Just got a new one like 30 mins ago so i'll try my hand at it again to see if i can finally beat The Glorious One.

As for the rest of your comment, I allready kinda figured out that the reversals are key, But for someone who has never played a wrestling game before it's kinda hard to find the sweet spot when using them.
So i'm guessing it will take me some/ALOT practice.

I bought the game last night, And started playing at around 23.00h.
Started off with the mycareer thing so i havent really tried anything else.

I'll give the Universe mode a shot and see what that's all about.

Again thank you for your input.
Much appriciated.

I think it is all up to the individual/s preferences/experiences as to whether this was a waste of $ to them or not, and whether it is playable.Playing with a keyboard has not hindered me in any way. It is certainly playable. To me, this was not a huge mistake.

Now, for others may not be the same.

you can buy a 15 to 20 dollar logitec controller from wal mart and it will work just fine.

And since we had our little disagreement a while back what have you done to improve your PC, you were borderline on specs. So unless you have purchased a new PC what you are really saying is does your PC meet the specs, now since we had our discussions about that subject I had the good fortune to meet a person playing this with a PC that had far less CPU than the required specs and he runs the game fine.

Good enough to play this game i assure you.

i3 3220 3,3Ghz
win 10 64
16gig DDR 3 ram 1300 or 1600 somewhere
GTX 1050Ti

Ever since the innitial post i've gotten a controller similair to my old logitech one and i have kinda mastered the reversal stuff so I'm playing the game just fine now.

Ah the reason I asked was just to answer the question asked above re: not having the right PC. I play it on even less and it works just fine. :D cheers

As of this point i can safely say it's not been a waste of money.

Like i said before i kinda mastered the reversal stuff, got me a decent f310 logitech controller and i'm havng fun smashing all the superstars around.

Allready had the IC and Universal title and now on Smackdown i'm allready holding the WWE Championship belt.

Thank you all for your input, Helped alot and i can now also enjoy wrestling as a game instead of just watching the shows :)
Cheers.

I completely agree, this game is a huge moneywaste, gladly I bought it cheaper on a site which is censored on steam
but seriously tho this game is unplayable without a controller, and the only thing great about this game is the new backstage
