Worth it for single player only?

[Terminus]

Last Tekken I played was Tekken 4 on PS2 when it came out. I'm almost 40.

I have no plans whatsoever to play MP, I'm not planning on spending a lot of time mastering the game. I'm mostly interested out of nostalgia and just every now and again getting an itch to play a fighting game. I don't care about Tekken Ball. I mostly just want to play Heihachi and stomp on people with wooden shoes.

That said, is it worth it on sale?

[mimizukari]

it's worth it at full price.

[CupCake]

Definitely worth it. It's a fun game =)

its an amazing fighting game. if you just love messing around with FGs casually, then sure, but the games singleplayer content is pretty poor. you have a basic but not-so-good story mode, a joke of an arcade mode, and treasure battle (survival, for the most part). if you dont plan on playing against people and you arent eager to learn how to play, i really dont think its worth the buy

its worth every penny at full price if you want to play against people, though (i.e. online, obviously). its a damn good fighting game; ive almost put 400 hours into it myself, and im constantly learning new things and getting better. the enjoyment and strong emotions you can get out of playing tekken are endless

Look up the character roster. They took out some of the veteran characters. Also, no Mokujin. Biggest mistake in the game.

no, not worth it. FG's are all about multiplayer now with barebones SP content.

You'll find more singleplayer value in injustice

Heihachi doesnt have his wooden shoes :(

But he stomps good still :)

Last tekken i played was 3, tekken 7 is the ultimate version, I dont think you will be dissapointed if its a bit of butt whopping and nostalgia your after.

Depends how many hours of entertainment you demand for your money.

There is a few hours long story mode where Heihachi is a main star so I'd say that its worth it :)

And there is a treasure mode where opponents get gradually better when you defeat them until you reach the highest rank - This can also be fun for many hours.

As much as I love Tekken 7, my answer is no... It is NOT worth buying the game for the singleplayer only. I also think you can't play Tekken 7 when offline because of denuvo protection.

Don't bother, there is no recent fighting game truly worth it for the single player modes. They pretty much all jumped into the competitive online experience. Story is easily cleared in 3 hours, arcade is not worth playing more than once and computer is way too easy in Treasure battle until you reach the top ranks, where it's not hard enough for a challenge. It really is a fun game to play, I lose an hour or more pretty much everyday online, but the single player is simply too lacking.

As a real Tekken fan I'd obviously say yes... But I just started playing the charachter storeis, and I don't really find them too exciting... The main story is pretty good though (haven't finished it yet)...

But why no interest in playing it online? I find it very amusing... Against the CPU I can play through the ranks pretty easy, but online it's a different story, I really need to step up my game now :)

Without playing MP(online), I'd say it's not worth it. There's no campaign and story mode are pretty boring imo. You'd just play several hours and quit without MP.

[LockM]

Not really.

[Heikai]

Not worth it imo. Story mode is pretty bad and you can't even choose what character to play it with.

[DoctorrrR]

I think it IS worth it for these very specific reasons of yours:
- interested out of nostalgia and just every now and again ( > plays pretty similar to Tekken 3,4,5)
- playing as Heihachi ( > he's the main character in story mode)
- on sale
