A game where everyone plays the same, from veteran with 10+ years of experience to newbie who starte a month ago.
We're not SF players, we're Tekken players. We came to tekken cuz we liked a specific style of game, one that SF didn't give us. We like the complexity, the player expression, the difficulty, the knowledge heavy gameplay.
If SF players are happy with a casino, that's none of my concern. We like tekken, not SF.
Just recently Doge made basically similar post and I 100% agree that it seems to be like this from his point of view.
What you gotta understand is that not everyone is a beginner and as it turns out TEKKEN has quite large competent playerbase that just CAN NOT play the game when its broken cause they can tell. So their point of view is vastly different from yours.
Sure, it might make a few quick bucks if you turn it into a casino and let brand new players feel like a champ for a day, but the system falls apart pretty quickly when everyone realises that skill is irrelevant, and that it's just the fighting game people play when they can't hack it anywhere else.
I don't play SF, but if in your words all they do is EAT EAT EAT regardless of how much fat there is to be trimmed, sounds to me like they're gonna get out of shape and lose their edge after a while.
Your cherry picking your example. By same token someone could reference World of Warcraft which casualized EverQuest and became the biggest game of all time historically speaking. Not that I am saying this is a good reason to casualise Tekken but that there are precedent for either direction.
WoW did not suddenly decide to become a team-based shooter or a golf simulator after 30 years in the business.
There are ways you can do this, you can bring back Soul Calibur or create a brand new IP that caters more to casuals, a Granblue to Arcsys's Strive, if you would. And that might actually be a pretty good gateway for a new player to access something like Tekken one day.
You have to remember that this is not a team-based game, it's a competitive one, and a zero sum one. They are trying to throw two groups of people into the same lifeboat and say "here's one set of life preservers".
What do you think is going to happen? Do you think people who cba to get good at the game are going to fight to keep it the way it was, with the scrubby casino mechanics? No, they're casuals, they'll find something else to care about. The people who actually care about and are invested in Tekken are gonna drive the bus, as they always have.
I don't think it's a coincidence recent reviews are overwhelmingly negative at 8%
I'm sure the vast majority can easily come up with their own opinions on the state of the game without feeling the need to parrot others
Here is a quick example of that. I watch a youtuber and he complains about the patch. He himself stated that HP WAS BUFFED NOW WE HAVE MORE HP. And after 5 minutes he was "but they didnt nerf damage so its bad patch".
Excuse me for a moment... isnt increase of HP is a damage nerf? Cos after another 5 minutes he remembers it and states "now we have to guess just more number of times". But... isnt nerfing damage do the same? Where is a proper feedback? Oh, not there.
And there are like... 80-90% of such videos about how TEKKEN IS BAD NOW. So like purely by the facts. People contradicts themselves just for the sake of increasing views of their content. They just use that shirt-wave to their advantage. And players just like... OH YEAH LETS GO HYPE HYPE HYPE.
Isnt it kinda... pathetic to say the least? Strange?
They are ALREADY fixing the game so shouldnt playerbase if they are COMPETENT and SKILLED and NOT SCRUBBY start to play the furking game and make a proper feedback about it? Oh no, cos its much harder then actually just crying crocodile tears on twitter and bombing it with reviews like "D E F E N C E S" in steam right?
I am with both hands for the devs fixing this offensive mess that they create but 8% reviews on steam??? Its not even close and since the community is THAT toxic when they reviews bombing literally THE BEST currently living FG... Idk man.
And you don't have to be Knee to understand what he's talking about. This game is in an absolutely critical state and anyone who knows anything about fighting games and spends an hour with it should be able to pick up on it.
You don't play the game.
