Im so glad that I did not buy the game...

[とうきょう]

As title says, I am so glad that I did not buy the game... And why you might ask? Well, many good characters missing, OG characters have insanely huge muscles all of a sudden and game looks more like Street Fighter than Tekken... So just to point out some things that I genuinely hate about the game after what I saw on YouTube...

Characters:

Zafina - nobody asked for her, almost noone plays her on regular basis, dumb moveset, ugly character over all.
Leo - soyboi that nobody plays as, I have not seen anyone play as him, mainly due to his useless move set and the fact that he looks like an 8 years old child and speaks like one too.
Shaheen - seen only a few arab people play as him since he was introduced in Tekken 8, since then, nobody played him at all. Once again, looks dumb and very odd and dumb move set
Azucena - who tf is that? Overly happy hipster looking character that is supposed to appeal to whom? Normies that go to starbucks every day and do tiktok videos on the way there and back?

So to all these characters, I think they should have been removed instead of the ones that suffered the faith to be removed... Ganryu, Julia, Anna, Eliza, Noctis, Lei, Armor King, Fakumram, Akuma, Kazumi, Heihachi, Lucky Chloe, Eddy, Gigas, Katarina, Josie, Bob, These were removed too but I kinda dont care about those Marduk, Geese, Negan, Master Raven, Miguel.

I want them back and those 4 listed above removed... Its ridiculous to remove such amount of characters and charge 70 bucks for the game... From what I have seen, 2.5D fighting game runs much worse than Cyberpunk 2077, DLSS Balanced, RT Psycho, Path Tracing ON, Frame gen ON, all ultra/psycho... Yet Cyberpunk was 60, offers more content, better graphics and is over all better so there is no point to charge 70 bucks for a fighting game... In my eyes despite being excited about Tekken 8, the game is such a huge dissappointment as everything that was released recently starting with Baldurs Gate 3, Starfield and so on... Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is going to save the day cuz I do believe in that game to be good... But Tekken 8 is dead... Palworld was unexpectedly great game that offers more content than Tekken 8 and its just 30 bucks (was 27 on sale)...

Also what I dont understand why male characters received such a muscle mass buff... Hwoarang looks disgusting, Law looks like a buffed zombie monkey and Paul looks like a hobo from the future... IDK what happened to the game but this is just sad and I much rather go back to the old games than to play this...

Also, from hearing in game VA, its all reused, animations reused aswell and it seems like Tekken 8 alpha with Tekken 7 reused assets and minimal effort... That game should have been a DLC to Tekken 7 for 20 bucks... Not a standalone game for 70 bucks... Also soundtrack took a massive hit in the grave... Worst Tekken soundtrack ever... And it seems like Tekken 8 is much more noob friendly and benefits button mashers more than people that know combos from previous titles...

So comment whatever, hate on me and whatnot... This is what I think about the game, 0 effort to its development, cut characters to maximize profit from DLC's, bad soundtrack and reused voice lines and animations... 0.5/10 (mainly cuz of them removed characters, I could turn off the music and play OG Tekken beats on YouTube, not being able to play Lucky Chloe, Lei, Eddy, Heihachi and Julia? That is what pisses me off the most...).

ps: note that till this point I have owned every single Tekken game on PlayStation where Tekken 7 was the only exception on PC... I aint going to buy Tekken 8, not until them characters listed above are added to the game for free...

Ur a jester farmer urself... I started playing Tekken on a dang arcade machines at the mall... I am a fan of the series longer than you are alive so dont even try to argue... u have 12 hours in the game... If you liked the game, you would have had like 30 already... Keep lying to yourself.

Oh xD sure... You know nothing about me and my work... The moment you spend more time doing other things apart from gaming in your free time, that just means you do not enjoy the game and all you do here now is that you are trying to get this discussion removed cuz u are bored of the game and rather come here and act like a clown... Go and play if u like it so much and leave this discussion

Yes, like I said, jobless bums like you don't know, but normal people have to work for their living ... and actually, I'm pretty sure, I'm quite a bit older than you, but please continue to embarrass yourself here.

Jobless bum has more money and a better job than you, whole wall with PSOne, PS2 and Nintendo videogames, multiple unique things that are JP only, every single PlayStation, current gen PC, sim racing setup for GT7 and Assetto Corsa, VR setup, 9 to 17 job 5 days a week, a house, wife, just returned from a vacation in Malaysia and you are the one to talk about xD Poor people dont value money, rich people are rich cuz they know what not to buy so their money would not go to the toilet...

ps: I aint rich, I just have enough wealth... and you aint older than me xD cuz if u were, u would agree to the nostalgia and all the dead characters that were removed and so on...

That’s a lot of words to just basically say you can’t afford the game

Yeah, neither do I... I was in Malaysia and I packed my PS5 so I could play at night while during the day I was doing "travelling" stuff with my wife... It aint that hard... But if you see a bad game, there is always someone that barely played it and starts defending it for its obvious flaws... Right now Tekken 8 has around 20K players which is kinda low for a brand new competitive online fighting game cuz the way I see it, if it was actually good, there would be more players playing it... Mortal Kombat 1 had more players on release than Tekken 8...

Another toxic kiddo xD I just preordered Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, last week I bought Palworld, purchased multiple things for Final Fantasy 14 from mog station to finish up my collection and you come and say this crap xD if you buy the game and if you are happy with it then you are the poor person that cant afford it and bought it for the "cool" factor... I aint gonna buy something that aint worth the money... Seems like all you want to add are just pointless insults and spread toxicity like the other person so imma just block u...
