Game is bad, you're just coping.

[Eilhart]

-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.

17h played, what the ♥♥♥♥ are you even doing in this discussion lmao, gtfo

On noes. Don't "be creepy".

18 years on steam, what the ♥♥♥♥ are you, like 40 or something ? LOL

[SEATEK The_LEFTY]

Not at all. You are doing it yourself. You create a thread bashing the game you have been playing for almost 3 weeks straight- who is really the joke here? It's comical that you don't see the irony in that.

I guess PS5 doesn't count?

The malding at being called out is palatable.

Called me out for what ? lmfao, you really feel like you 'exposed" me by sharing my playtime ? you're a joke.

Your repeated comments say that you are grasping.

Says the private profiler, we all know the pluggers are cheaters have their profiles private, blow me.

It also seems you attack users with private profiles you can't view. Fantastic.

Gotta have an attack ready for either option I guess.

[Eilhart]

Actually i don't blame you, you bought the game on PC and PS5 lmao, i get why you're being so defensive about it, you're trying to justify your idiotic purchase, probably starved yourself for a month to spend 140$ on the same game twice.

I've been playing since launch, seems like a good game to me.

Tekken lost me with 7, it launched as a half baked game that lacked the personality, as well as the fit & finish a Tekken game usually has. i gave it a shot again near the launch of 8 and while it was in better shape, it fell short of the prior 3 games in the series.
8 however brought back that Tekken feeling, there is so much detail in the stages and the characters feel great (i presume all that T7 DLC money allowed them to bring their scope in line with previous entries). the story was disappointing, and i wish they would do something along the lines of Tekken force, secret characters ectc, but as an online fighter I'm having way more fun than i ever did with recent Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter games.

the problem for me is that fighting games always had such replay value for all of their hidden secrets and alternative solo gameplay modes, which are at odds with today's shareholder demands for creating avenues of continual income from software. all that single player goodness i used to love has to be a drip feed that is sold to us to keep our engagement and money flowing. modern gaming sucks :(

[Stompnado]

the game is just unbelievably scrubby... they completely taken out the skill element and built the game towards helping scrubs win games

they must think scrubs winning matches = scrubs will support the game and they will make money

this game is dedicated to scrubs

[Stompnado]

and Victor is TEKKEN 8 personified.... everything about Victor represents TEKKEN 8

Oh man, another garbage thread where someone tells me I've misinterpreted my own opinion. Love it

Tekken 8 has lots of issues. The abysmal net code severely hampers the online experience, introducing frustrating lag and connectivity issues that hinder the fluidity of matches. The transition to the Unreal Engine introduces an unwelcome delay in input responsiveness, undermining the precision and timing crucial for a fighting game. Character imbalance further exacerbates the problem, creating an uneven playing field that hampers competitive integrity. Some characters can combo and do no damage, then you have others that can destroy your health in just three moves. insult to injury, the decision to monetize legacy characters leaves a sour taste, as players find themselves compelled to pay extra for iconic fighters, a move that feels more like a cash grab than a commitment to delivering a balanced and enjoyable gaming experience. Overall, Tekken 8 disappoints with its technical shortcomings, unbalanced roster, and questionable monetization choices, leaving fans longing for a more polished and player-friendly iteration in the beloved franchise.

hi chatgpt.

I feel it's better than SF6, so that's a plus. Sadly, certain updates "Tekken Shop" that's seen on Tekken Reddit makes me extremely cautious about the game. I wouldn't want to change my liking to disliking.

Cool opinion, bro. Just know 90% of players disagree with you. It's a popular game and I like the heat system, rage arts, animation freeze on low parry, and I think the balance is quite good compared to previous installments. Honestly, I don't really care if they want to sell cosmetics, because I've got the base game + season pass, and paid for the ultimate edition (I wanted to support the developers), and as long as they keep out DLC seasons in separate components, I'll buy from them. I'm a financially responsible adult and I understand the price of video-games are nowadays, and Tekken 8 is definitely worth every penny in my opinion.

Also, that is your opinion if you think the main focus of the game is appealing 'only' to casuals, because style is subjective and the heat mechanics work for both newbies and veterans; rage arts too. As for the netcode, I have no problems with it, but if they can improve on it further, I probably wouldn't even be that stoked for it, but it'd be the icing on the cake.

I will agree that they should somehow address the cheaters and plugging, but the game is still really fun and enjoyable. Sorry, but the blanket statement of saying players are coping from a bad game doesn't apply, because quite frankly, I'm happy to have more players to play with and I get to play a triple-A fighting game that I really enjoy. Unfortunately, the one who is coping is probably you, considering you yourself said that you cannot play any other fighting game that resembles of your liking, yet continue to play Tekken because it's the only one on the market. That is classic-book coping.

The term coping is: "to deal with and attempt to overcome problems and difficulties". In this case, you are dealing with your problem with the game by asserting your own viewpoint onto others, because there is no other fighting game to your liking. Look, it's fine you dislike the game and want to openly state your opinion, but like the beginning of what was said, it probably is a very unpopular opinion. Good luck with coping with a game you dislike though.
