Was their wreslting promotiong popular enough to warrant their own game?

>> No.7009873

Yeah, but Ruckus didn't really get any recognition til he started working outside of the blackout. He just got some attention because of being an athletic dude shaped like a tree trunk. I don't even remember people taking him seriously before the CZW/RoH invasion, same with the Briscoes. I fucking loved that dude though, he put on a show like Trent Acid, the Wifebeater and Sick Nick would.

Unrelated but I got Ruckus weed back in like 2007 I think. It was during the RoH/Dragongate tour I think. I stopped smoking weed at that point but he rolled a blunt and I took a few hits off it.

I will at least say that it's better than every single WWE game on the Xbox

all the juggalos in my high school loved this shit back when it came out

>> No.7010047

man remember when they used to make cool games?

i know this thread is the worst possible place to say this, but honestly remember when ea sports games were good? when there were lots of extreme sports games, and they were good?

it was easy to get sick of attitude in gaming, especially when G4-gamerfuel-XBL culture took root in like 2006, but im sick of how clinical and sterile everything is now. aaa games are designed by committee to not upset a fly on the wall, and kid-friendly games are less snarky than ever, theyre nick jr. tier in tone.

>> No.7010051

The ICP run their own wrestling promotion and had a stint in the WWF
It's moreso that musician celebrities who just also happened to be wrestlers made a good marketing opportunity to be slapped on the cover of the game

Also the game is fun but kind of a mindless button masher, still more fun than any wrestling game that isn't /vr/ material

>> No.7010079

Do Jugalos still exist?

I played the first BYW game on PS2 because I love wrasslin games. It wasn't really a pure wrestling game with grappling moves and headlocks, but more like a shitty arcadey fighting game. It might be "okay" if you're really into ICP, but a bunch of no-name hip hoppers and wiggas won't really do much for the rest of us. There's so many actually good wrestling games from the same era with Hulk Hogan and Stone Cold so if you're looking for nostalgic wrestling games you can blindly pick any of the WWF/WWE games and you won't be disappointed. Hell, in the later WWE games the custom wrestler creating is so detailed that you can actually make your own ICP guys to be in the game if that's your thing.

ICP sucks. The only real reason to even consider buying that game, is so you can beat up ICP for being the shittiest rap duo ever.
