I'm obviously very excited that Sting is still on the roster. The actual WWE may be doing nothing with him, but Sting is a legend who deserves more recognition. Goldberg is also a favorite of mine and his inclusion brings this close to my perfect WCW recreation (though being locked to pre-order is idiotic).

I understand Hulk Hogan can't be in this game, but that would really compel me into buying this. I grabbed WWE 2K15 on day one (even getting the Hulkamania Edition), but that was a huge mistake. Along with locking Sting and Hogan to DLC, the game was poorly optimized and missing a lot of features.

Still, I've heard good things about last year's title and I could always go for more Sting action. At least I can make my own Sting vs. Undertaker match. One day, I hope to get my nWo Wolfpac game...one day.
