MyRise is a Terrible, Insulting Experience
I finally completed both MyRise campaigns, only because I wanted to unlock the indie arenas etc. (Which, btw given the torture this mode was, super annoying this was not automatically unlocked with the accelerator) I had finished Undisputed earlier, in a more spread out time frame, but just tried to knock out Unleashed more promptly given the new game is around the corner.
Man, I have never been so repeatedly frustrated with a wrestling game storyline in my life. & i've completed pretty much every game back to SVR 06 (on the PSP I might add).
I will give the game the credit it's due. I think both, on their face offer interesting stories. I was particularly engaged with the idea of a legendary indie wrester breaking into the WWE but I ended up hating that storyline the most in the end.
What is the point of having us create our whole own wrestler if they are just going to pigeon hole us into stupid ass captain, movie star or whatever the fuck that supernatural storyline was? & the dialogue segments that aren't actual cut scenes are such a waste of time and frankly resources given a voice actor took time to record that asinine repetitive dogshit. Also, why does my hardcore indie wrestler have to talk & sound like such a bubbly/bro-y candy ass?
I'd honestly be ok with some of the weirder stuff if it was more cohesive and if they actually gave us creative control... You know, something you want in a career mode where you create your own wrestler. It's like they had three different bad storylines they decided to force into one along with the other garbage.
The story did not deserve to go on as long as it did. & did anyone else feel like there was a weird difficulty spike towards the end with some of the matches? That fatal four way near the end had me pressed. I swear I saw Liv warp towards me at one point in the match.
I don't ever want to play something like this again. If the arenas weren't locked, I would have skipped it all together. It's like they want to force us to experience their shitty project. Also Fuck Troy. Fire his ass into the sun.
tl;dr: The MyRise Campaigns committed war crimes by sucking so much ass & wasting our time. Way too long (like this post).
