5. It Emphasizes Simplicity Of Gameplay Over Realism
There is absolutely no denying that the graphics for WWE 2K15 are amazing (for the next-gen consoles, anyway). The look and feel of a video game are so crucial to its success nowadays, but do they really make the game more enjoyable overall? The great graphics will add to the gameplay, sure, but in the end, games shouldn't be all about graphics. Though they were passable at the time, No Mercy's graphics are nothing special by today's standards; yet, people would still prefer to play it over most of the modern games, including WWE 2K15. The reason behind this is that No Mercy is simple as even a non-wrestling fan could start playing and get to know the controls right away. Perhaps it's because the Nintendo 64 controllers had far less buttons that the controllers for the PS4 and XBox One, but even the gameplay is easier. With more recent video games focused on adding a sense of realism, it makes it a lot more complicated than it needs to be for gamers. Not every wrestler has a million moves in their arsenal, but the controls in No Mercy are so simplistic that it's hard to complain about the graphics.
