    Sh*t sorry I thought my replie would come up as a spoiler if I replied to a spoiler. Sorry about that.

    its cool, i just didnt read the spoiler and was glad it was in spoilers, as i dont want to know anything about the rtwm's.
    And then you subsequently destroyed it. ;)

    Apologies if i sounded if i over-reacted too. :o

    Has anyone lost to Undertaker at mania yet in the rtwm?

    If you have completed it, go back and purposefully lose the match (hit him with a chair or get counted out).

    Wont say what happens but its not just a simple "You lost, wanna retry?" screen. ;)

    Damn, I lost to him about an hour ago and just turned off the xbox so I could try again later (played pretty much the whole RTW in one go so was fairly tired anyway)

    speaking of the Lord of Darkness edition, I got my copy of the game, standard edition, and just realised I actually have the Undetaker's Ministry Attire already :D. It's says it's Downlaoded content so it must have bee npart of the Fan Axxess package.

    You shelled 800 points out for that?

    €7.99 on PS3 and in the long run it's worth it as you get the Option to Unlock Everything with it, and the Attribute Customizer for all Superstars. I will also be getting all the DLC packs when they come out and the Fan Axxess means you have them bought already and just have to download em when they are released so i'll be saving money.

    So when you think about it, for the €7.99/ 800 MS points you get the following:

    Unlock Everything
    Attribute Customizer
    Layla
    Wade Barrett
    David Otunga
    Justin Gabriel
    Lex Luger
    British Bulldog
    NXT Arena
    HBK Altrernate Attire (Wrestlemania 8)
    WCW Nitro Arena
    Undertaker American Bad Ass Attire
    John Cena Purple Cenation Attire
    CM Punk Masked Attire

    Well worth it in my opinion ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked


    €8 doesn't sound too bad. But I'm not spending 800ms points on it.

    The only things I'd want off that list is
    Wade baratt,
    Hbk alt outfit,
    the wcw arena. (hope it's full of stunt Grannys :P)
    Bad ass taker, but only if he has a bike and limp bizkit playing.

    Other than that I'm not so sure. I don't know if I'll be keeping the game so I don't want to spend loads then let it go.

    Apart from baratt, were the other things unlocked straight away for you?

    The Unlock Everything option unlocks everything that is locked in-game (ie. Superstars, belts, arenas, attires that are unlocked thru RTWM or Universe mode). It doesnt unlock any futre DLC content (as listed in my previous post).

    The cool thing is, that when you buy the Fan Axxess pack, it gives you the option to activate the Unlock Everything part in WWE Shop. So what i plan on doing is going thru all the RTWM's first and try get what i can, then use the Unlock Everything to get what i missed.

    The last time i used a cheat code on a console games was street fighter II on the SNES.

    All this unlockable this, unlockable that stuff. I'll just buy the game and play am I missing out by not having all these cheats/codes etc

    It's nothing to do with cheat codes, it's just stuff you unlock by playing through Road to Wrestlemania and WWE Universe. But the Fan Axxess gives you the option to unlock everything without having to pla ythru these and have all the superstars, etc. from the start.

    The unlockables include like 20 Superstars, Legends (RVD, Ricky Steamboat, The Rock, Stone Cold, Terry Funk, Jake Roberts & Jimmy Snuka), Title Belts, Alternate Attires & Arenas, so i guess it's up to you if you want these, but if you're playing thru RTWM or Universe, you will unlock these as you go along.

    Bloody hell, WWE UniverseMode can be quite addictive. Monday night, I finished off my first RTWM which was Christians and decided to Start the Vs. Undertaker one after a quick match or 2 on Universe mode..............my god, was i mistaken, I actually ended up playing like 10-15 matches in a row in Universe.

    I took off with 3 weeks to Backlash, and ended up playing to Backlash. I played at least 2 matches from each weeks Raw & Smackdown, and some on Superstars to develop feuds and such. Got to Backlash and had an awesome card so decided to pretty much play it all. Backlash was as follows:

    US Title - Falls Count Anywhere Triple Threat:
    The Miz (champ) vs. John Morrison vs. Sheamus - SHEAMUS WINS

    Womens Title:
    Alicia Fox (Champ) vs. Eve - ALICIA WINS

    Unified Tag Team Titles:
    DX vs. Hart Dynasty (Champs) - DX WINS

    IC Title:
    Dolph Ziggler (Champ) vs Kofi - KOFI wins

    WHC Submission Match:
    Rey Mysterio (champ) vs. Jack Swagger - SWAGGER WINS - attacked Rey during his entrance, hit finisher and locked in hal boston crab for the win in like 30 seconds

    WWE Title - Hell in a Cell:
    Cena vs. Edge - CENA RETAINS

    I love this game.....how's Universe goin for all of you?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked


    its going great for me, but i cant help just focusing in on one "feud" as such.

    like is everyone else just playing the preset matches or are they making all their own?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 753 ✭✭✭Legend_DIT


    I'm playing the preset matches with my CAW - Irish Danger (who also teams with Sheamus as The Celtic Warriors)

    Beat Sheamus and the Miz in a triple threat for the US title, and just retained it against Santino at the Bash.

    One thing I noticed is that Evan Bourne has joined up with R-Truth and Morrison so I have renamed their team (as Buddy Cops) Swagger has also joined the SES after he was CM Punk's mystery tag partner.

    Does anyone know if teams can split up or if new teams can start from scratch?

    Started Christian's RTWM - a bit too early for me to make any judgements but one of the first things I saw was Sheamus cutting a promo so that was pretty cool.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 16,120 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Yea im addicted to Universe. Was playing the preset ones aswell and it was Hart Dynasty vs SES for the tag belts ( i was SES) and was playing but then DH Smith hit me with his Special Move and just as he hit it , Kidd came into the ring (que cut scene) and decks DH Smith and walked out of the ring. (WAS REALLY COOL) . But unforunately DH Smith still won and celebrated with Kidd ha so i had to restart the match


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked


    The universe seems to be a he'll of a lot better when it's on legend and tweaked that the ai are more likely to kick out/reverse moves/have more damaging moves etc.
    It really opens up then as it means something if you lose and how you lose. :)

    How do you make these tweaks?

    I played for first match of the game today in a Gamestop in town :o Was there for about 15 mins trying out things in the TLC mode and was impressed with the way you can aim your moves at things, hit an AA on Orton onto the ladder.

    The thing that gets me still is the AI, i had no idea what i was doing at the start of the match, but after about 2 mins i was killing Orton, then Big Dave ran in with a chair and did absolutely nothing for a minute then i reversed his Batista bomb easily and continued to batter Randy! Any way of improved the difficulty of the game would be great. its one of the things that ruins it for me, as i like a challenge in games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,609 ✭✭✭irish_stevo815


    I change a lot of the matches to suit how i want it. But once every 2/3 weeks in Universe, it automatically generates an awesome Raw/Smackdown card that i just play as it is. The PPV's come up with some great matches too.

    Oh here's little trick for people who wanna have Title matches when they want i.e. on Smackdown or Raw - Lets say you wanna have a US Title match on Raw, Sheamus is the Champ, but you want someone else to win it, just go to "My WWE", go to your current champ, in this case Sheamus, go to his "Title Settings" and give him one of the unlocked titles (Hardcore, WCW , etc.). Now create the match you want on Raw - Sheamus vs. Jericho, say. When you have Sheamus selected, it will ask if you want to make it a Title Match so select the Title Match option. Then you can select not only the ECW/WCW Title but you can also pick his US Title. There you go, you now have a the US Title match on Raw. This works for all Titles :D.

    Not sure about Tag-Titles tho. I kinda wanna replace the Unified tag titles with the World Tag Titles on their own, so the champs will come in together. Anyone have any ideas on this?

    Just one little thing that's kinda annoying me. When I hit a Signature move on my opponent, it seems as if they get stronger and healthier after it. Anyone else have this problem? Other than that, I have no complaints :rolleyes:

    Just got mine in the post today. Am lovin it so far. the layer organisation and preview of layers makes the CAW process a lot better I think. Lack of Opacity option on layers is a bit crap though. Havent got my head around the new grappling mode yet.. should probably read the menu.

    Really like WWE Universe mode so far
