Game is bad, you're just coping.

-Plugging is a feature in the game that you can use at your will.
-Heat system is trash, it never happened in a Tekken game where you get your turn back with an armor move+frames advantage with a SINGLE BUTTON PRESS.
-Rage arts are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
-Animation freeze on Low parries, heat activation is a joke and ruins momentum.
-Cheaters of all sorts rampaging through a 70$ game.
-Game's main focus is appealing to casuals with trash mechanics and flashy effects.
-Farming the newcomers and old fans by introducing an in game shop and sell legacy stuff that should be already in the game.
-Laughable balance, gap between characters performance is just large as ♥♥♥♥.
-Trash netcode.

Y'all are just "successfully sold" on a business plan.

You're playing it though

[T1g3r]

well, he paid for it, I guess

[Serious]

So far i like the game for the singleplayer content it has.
The vs CPU mode is a bit nonse as the difficulty is to low and the story is horrible.
But the ghost fights and arcade mode are interesting.
Modding scene is already active so many interseting mods and skins will be available.

Game is good, at least it's the best tekken on pc so far.
There is enough room to improof but if you buy only portal 2 quality games you would still play portal 2 and nothing else.

sucks to suck

I play Tekken games even when they're trash, doesn't mean we shouldn't call bs when we see it, i just don't like the boot-licking that goes on calling games "perfect". That destroys gaming. Tekken8 is overrated and the devs of these companies need to hear it.

It hasn't even been a month. They didn't fully reinvent the wheel here.

The heat system especially recoverable health is meant to incentivize close combat and it was recently discovered that they shadow nerfed KBD on top of the slight distance nerf that leads to us getting clipped out of it more often.

Its T7 except they gave us something that incentivizes aggressive play. We are essentially fighting over our healthbars in T8.

As for balance plz check out some breakdowns on how "balanced" T5.0, T6.0 and T7.0 were and come back.

Played every single Tekken game in time, Don't need to go anywhere nor comeback to tell when a game is laughably unbalanced.

1. Plugging gonna get fixed obviously, probably in a way that the person who disconnects will lose points. Same with 1 and done.

2. Heat system is casual friendly coz you NEED NEW CASUAL PLAYERS if you wanna grow, especially in a niche game type which are all fighting games.

3. Rage Art is nothing new, was here before, like it or not its a personal preference, doesn't make the game better or worse.

4. Cheaters are a thing in almost any fighting game to date, including to a degree SF6 and MK1. Thou they're not so prominent in Tekken 8 as for now. Price of the game have nothing to do with it.

5. You have to appeal to the casuals or your game wont sell. While nostalgia factor is strong with Tekken, SF, MK games - they have to invent new things, make things easier for newcomers, otherwise the game will flop. You can't just ride nostalgia factor and hope for the best.

6. Balance is as always in the FG - fluid and will change several times given the long lifespan of Tekken games. No fighting game is EVER balanced.

7. Netcode is very good, unless you're accepting WIFI connection or you're playing vs somebody with potato PC which can't maintain 60 fps during fights. This has nothing to do with netcode.

Funny enough you mentioned everything you think is wrong with Tekken 8 yet to failed to mention anything good about it..... and for most people - there is a lot to like here.

Stopped reading at "Plugging gonna get fixed obviously" which validates my post title further, C O P E. They done nothing about it in T7 for 7 years, what makes you think they will/can in T8 ? again, you're coping.

[Tnargav]

Ok.

[Immortal]

If you stopped reading after that, there is nothing to discuss here with you, since you obviously don't want to hear anybody else opinion, only people who agree with you, which is weird since you made this topic on public forums.

I'm assuming, same as you. You don't know , same as me, we're both assuming just on different sides.

[KrossKounter]

Well goobye then. I'll continue enjoying this "horrible" game.
Sorry that my enjoyment is cope.
I'll try working on not enjoying games anymore if not everything is 1000% perfect with it.

[Rutabaga]

When it comes to plugging and save manipulation, i am honestly flabberghasted that they haven't done anything about it since T7. At least the saves should be relatively easy to fix, while the plugging would probably require dedicated servers, which i can sort of understand is not a great option for anyone in the end. That said:

If you don't like it just stop playing it. Games are supposed to be fun, if you are just annoyed all the time either try to change your point of view or stop playing.

The game has a bunch of flaws and certainly a lot of changes that i'm not super stoked about personally too. But it is what it is. They aren't going to change it because of complaints on this board.

If you genuinely think it's bad, not playing sends a stronger signal than whining about it online.

[Samvega]

You know, you're right. I'm going to go and play the massive critical, commercial, and fan community successes of MK1 and Starfield instead, neither of which have caused any noticeable uproar from people who think those games are in some way unfun or poorly managed by their creative team / publisher.

[ChiefE]

Skill issue.

[Arestris]

Just get good! Than you don't need to plug (aka cheat) and you don't need to whine here.
