  • One the of TEKKEN GOATs tweeted that TEKKEN 8 is “not fun”: and everyone started losing their minds.
    Some players aren’t happy with the game’s new focus on aggression: [BR] and one of them is Knee, the God of TEKKEN.
    You add in surprise monetization and some questionable balance decisions, and suddenly TEKKEN 8 has us asking: is this really the game’s future?

    The game is already $70 and has a $30 season pass, why are they adding a Battle Pass and cash shop after release? That's just insanely greedy, I can't believe people defend this.
    Battle passes/cash shops make sense in a free game because they don't have consistent revenue. I never want to see it in a game I already paid $100 for.

      I love it when people say "but they have to make money!" Like, did they forget that they paid for the game already?
      Also, regardless of the price of anything that they're offering, the use of a "premium currency" system where you almost invariably have to pay more than what you would've in order to get just about anything is absolutely awful.

      You can have battle passes in a paid game as long as you don't have to pay for it.

    The monotization is pretty bad, the battle pass is lack luster, skins are 5 dollars each and they are full body outfits instead of individuals parts, and legacy skins are not bundled together as game sets, you cannot lab with DLC characters in practice OR fully utilize the player control in replays this is huge. So far the onlything positive about any of the monetization is the battle pass is easy to level. Compared to the shit we got in like previous games its so lame a consequence of Live service rot.

    In tekken the new heat system is alright but there is this new focus in tekken where they want to force 50/50 mixups. For those who dont play you have to duck for lows but when ducking your open to mids. But generally in t7 you avoid 50/50s by big brain side steps back dashes. Thats kinda what makes tekken a defensive game. No one likes being forced to take a mixup. No one likes that most combos if done properly can take away more than half your health. The neutral is less rewarding, and the generally slower pace of tekken is not being looked at properly. Also the current top tiers are very powerful and broken but i dont have the brain power to talk about them.

    Didn’t like armor attacks in 7, and I hate them more now. And the super moves can go back to where they came from. It seems like Tekken has borrowed too much from street fighter. First they stole the super moves, then they stole Akuma, then they stole the drive gauge to give you armor and dash in, and now they’re stealing the stupid battle passes that gives you dress up items for your avatars that nobody really uses.

    Wow, so a game with 8 years of polish is better then a new release?
    What a shocking idea. I'm sure 8 years from now when Counter ... I mean Tekken 9 comes out, everyone will remember Tekken 8's release and remember that it's just not reasonable to expect a new game that hasn't had any time in the wild to be that great. Everyone will learn that you can't rush the process of refinement, and we won't have over-reactions and hyperbole.
    Right?

Kits will then be a factor as to damage output and then what. You start removing moves that people say are over powered? Now you have a linear boring game where skill is barely a factor. Flavor of the month is what keeps game alive and despite me being an advid hater of meta shit. I would rather have an established meta that I can overcome or something than a linear game where every character is pretty much the same because that's what a "balanced" game would be

    I'm so mixed on Tekken 8 because on one hand, it's the most fun I've had with Tekken in a long time, and as someone who got into fighting games with DOA, I think it's great that stage interactions are more prevalent since taking advantage of the environment is one of my favorite aspects of that series.
    On the other hand, there are issues that even I, someone who has never really gone too deep into Tekken, can see. Most of them were brought up in this video, but special shoutouts to Heat's chip damage and that clip from Evo Japan of a Kuma player losing most of their health by blocking a series of EWGFs 😭
    I hope the game's issues will be ironed out over time as 8 has so much potential.
    As for the guest character question, as I said earlier I got into FGs with DOA (5LR to be specific), so I'd be beyond overjoyed to see my girl Kasumi 😌

  • @user-uq9ej1vr4f
    @user-uq9ej1vr4f Před 28 dny +3

    Pros dont like that interaction between characters are getting simplified to be always 50 50 scenerios. Most characters got their stances buffed or where given stances to be able to get into a mixup situation and be aggressive. But the problem is that many of these characters where balanced by the fact that while they where generally strong in neutral they lacked damage output and mixup options like xioayu in tekken 7. The fact that the game is being balanced around having guarrunteed 50 50s like in the case with lars where now you cant option select his mixup by using rage art. The problem is not adding new flashy moves or characters with strong offensive options, its just that the game is removing counter play and defensive options like options selects, side stepping grabs, etc. Also adding the shop and battle pass after all the reviews for tekken 8 came out raving about the lack of microtransactions is really scumy. The game is fun but I dont like how its being treated and the lack of respect for players both in terms of their experience with tekken, and the amount of time and effort they put into the game.

    Of course that was short lived, since the first patch nerfed (killed) specifically Yoshimitsu, while buffing already broken characters.
    So this moment of having it to be taken away and the realization that Tekken isn't interested in balancing the whole roster but pushing Mishimas and a few others to divinity, making tournaments too predictable, made me lose most if not all interest.

Top that off with the fact that we cannot even train against the characters without purchasing only further cements this game's pay-to-win schematic.

    Need more balancing (Tekken 7 had the same issue in the beginning) (Recent T8 patches are improving the game's balance and its only getting better)
    That's about it. Its still a good game, dont let these noobs deter you from getting the game or if pros are still used to tekken 7; ITS FUN! Enough content to keep you occupied and really fun and addicting online play. Just dont bother with the battlepass its not mandatory for gameplay anyway (maybe if they imorove it). I see too many braindead sheep comments about the game.

      @zombieeightpack1381 If you read patches they've recently nerfed her. I'm sure the balancing will only get better over time.

    I still like it. I don't think aggression, heat stuff is the issue. I think there's a lot of bugs, hitboxes and balance issue right now. For Kazuya players, we don't know why they need to nerf him so much especially the df1. I think after the balance is fixed, it should be ok. CNT was peak tho

    F*** the pros. Let regular people enjoy the game. How about those people go back and play Tekken 7 .
