Yeah, pretty much the same.

I knew wrestling through my brother, who had some tapes of matches with British Bulldog (he was a huge fan of him), Shawn Michaels etc. All late 80s, early 90s stuff.

And when i saw the Hardys for the first time as part of The Brood, that was a huge thing for me.

Oh, i also prefer a wrestler being smashed by something big and starting bleeding from that.

Not a fan of using pizza cutters and other utensils to do that weird spot where they show the audience the process of cutting open that particular part beneath the hairline.

As someone who grew up with the Attitude Era, i basically watched all of it again a few years ago. Jfc it was trash most of the time...

Of course it had it's highlights. I was a huge Hardy Boyz fan, i liked Austin, Mankind etc. But most of it was so fucking bad.

I personally mostly enjoy blood as a kind of "shock moment". And for that to work it needs to be rather rare.
(i just noticed someone brought that already up...)

Of course there are also match types that need blood, like No Holds Barred matches. These matches without blood are kind of pointless...

i actually do remember that terrifying me as a kid in some moments.

The way how they kept standing up again and kept going after all that violence.

I think even Kevin sold that pretty well, as far as i can remember. sometimes first celebrating and then noticing that they got up again.

I think i saw that when i was looking for a FF7 playthrough a while ago and i ended up watching a bit of Maximilian Dood's playthrough, where he used that mod (or a similar one).
It looked ridiculous.

And i'm saying that as someone who preferred the FF8 character models to FF7.

I'm so so so so sorry

I always wonder if it is some neurodivergent trait of me..

I was excited for Elden Ring in an unhealthy way. Like really bad. But my expectations kept changing from an empty, flat world to a way more ambitious one than we got.

And it still turned out to be one of my favorite games.

I honestly can't really remember to be ever so disappointed, that it traumatized me for the rest of my life. :D

It's mostly a feeling of "oh damn, that's not what i wanted" and then i look forward to something else. And if i really like it, i just do.

Oh yeah, that's fair.

It's just that people handle things differently. I really enjoy being excited for something. Of course the highlight in the end is the experience itself.
And of course for many people when they get overly excited they can end up being disappointed in the end.

I get it.

I've been invaded by assholes. I read comments and posts, by ppl bragging how toxic they are.

But i'm just a silly person who likes to put on a fancy dress & plays a cowardly assassin or a crazy lady with a big hammer to stir some chaos in other ppl's game

Maybe they think invaders only came into their world through hacking. 🤔

having said that, the "comic relief" and the other NPCs in the latest trailer made it really hard for me to stay positive, i must admit.

I just try to tell myself now, not to expect "Metroid" and just a fun and silly game in a Metroid skin... but i will definitely wait this one out..
