Despite the issues, I think its a fine fighting game.
Not the best, but fun still.

>>715104970 (OP)
Harada made too many retarded decisions:
>gender neutral avatars that serve no purpose
>Karen Paul
>button prompts for retards
The only saving grace are the graphics and the photo mode.

>>715104970 (OP)
S3 will save it

>>715104970 (OP)
If we were talking S1 I would be on board but S2 has just been such a clusterfuck.

>>715104970 (OP)
I agree.
It's just easy to complain because I'd say it's worse than 3, 5, 6, 7, and both tags, but on its own it's still a fun game if you don't take it too seriously.

>>715104970 (OP)
only play offline w friends. online it's just an annoying mash fest. they did away with the basic martial arts that made tekken cool and replaced it with flashy bullshit.

Is fuckyamom broken or not?

>>715108798
>they did away with the basic martial arts that made tekken cool and replaced it with flashy bullshit.
100%
sadly I think it's only going to get worse, not just tekken 8 but future tekkens (if there are any after 8's shitshow)

>>715108481
They need to fire Murray first

>>715104970 (OP)
T8 is ok if you play Yoshimitsu because he's the only character with defensive options

Otherwise it's a piece of mashy plus frame unga bunga crap

>>715113948
sorry ill make a steamcharts thread next time

Call me when they add Lucky Chloe. Until then I am sticking to 7.
No, Azucena is not a suitable replacement.

>>715104970 (OP)
wtf are you talking about? Devs made mind boggling balance changes that would make the biggest tards on a planet look like geniuses. Game is beyond retarded and trash

>>715108798
It's sad because they did this for the non fans, they wanted the audience at Twitch and EVO to pogface more, so they ruined their game with shit like Heat and particle effects.

I just don't get why they doubled and triple down on making the game for casuals. With fighting games you have only two chances to make the game appealing for casuals. The graphics and the single player content. Anything else is championed by the hardcore people and making them happy will also spread the game around.

true they ruined it this time around man but im pretty sure you've seen this shit coming with choices they made in season 7 and even now with additions like clive where you kill whatever momentum you have by not adding tifa or whatever the fuck her stupid ass name is just shows you that the namcops care more about revenue than actual gameplay integrity / community value
t. never played a single fighting game in my entire life and also dont really give a shit about any of this

>>715115326
They're dumb. They forgot casuals don't practice and would immediately get BTFO and get frustrated enough to quit once they head online.

>>715108798
>they did away with the basic martial arts that made tekken cool and replaced it with flashy bullshit
this, and playing offline completely replaces it with tekken 3 and 5 style combos.

Retard.

>>715108798
You haven't played a single fighting game beyond mashing level because the way you describe them is exactly how casual retards do
So it literally does not matter what they do with the systems because you will complain anyways that it isn't tekken 3 like "the good old days"
faggot

>>715116045
The last good Tekken game was 5. You can't even dispute it, it's just a fact.

>>715116045
https://youtu.be/RY7B9oiXsNo

You're fucking retarded. the entire pro scene hates Tekken 8, not just because of the retarded patch but also because no one likes the overly long combos, lame anime magical flying, particle effects, explosions and LGBT lasers.

Even Michael Murray knows this.

>>715111698
Murray, harada, nakatsu they're all bad not just the Baka gaijin you Nihon fags hate so much.

>>715116652
2nd Dan, because I don't play online for more than 30 minutes.

>>715116652
You're right, literally the entirety of Tekken 8s tourny winners, commentators, general community hating on it and Michael Murray himself admitting they fucked up means nothing.

More lame as fuck guest characters no one asked for and fast food collabs please!

What seems basically confirmed is that the game was engineered around user data to be made like it is so there was no one with a passion and vision behind the game who tried to make their dream Tekken game. Harada always talks with pride how he reads and listens to as many opinions as possible. But I think shit like this destroys your identity as a game dev.

>>715106372
>Harada made too many retarded decisions
Harada isn't the director of Tekken 8.

>>715116652
Nothing to say about Arslan Ash hating T8 too?

>>715117134
I don't listen to what indians have to say.

Jun > all

>>715117237
You lost. Player count tanked, no one cares about Tekken 8 anymore in both the pro and casual scene - only people left are stragglers like you and about 600 other people ''online''.

kek

>>715116812
Cool don't talk to me then, your opinion is more worthless than MK retards or COD bros who mash like you
>>715116979
Yeah man I can read reddit too, now do you play the game or not or do you need hagrid to say something again for you?

>single handedly conditions and ruins the franchise

>>715109202
He's surprisingly balanced and honest.

Here I thought 7 was popular at tournaments.

>>715117401
>online warrior doesn't realise that literally no one is on his side, not even the Tekken devs

I dropped from Tekken God to Bushin from s1 to s2. There's no sense of linear improvement going from more games+labbing to increased rank. It seems the game is purely biological.

>>715117720
>frame perfect combos
>in a game where the input buffer is larger than your fat rolls
That's how I know you don't actually play the game

>Gender neutral avatars
They really thought that fight lounge Harada cried about eating up so much bandwidth cost was gonna be some sort of massive success.
>Button prompts for retards
Shit pissed me off. The old assist mode let you have a 1frame delay for easy input on a specific type of move and stringing them together game you a combo.

Babies first fighting game mode was such bullshit and then making that key shoulder button that stays on if you accidentally hit it.
Eat shit. Had to rebind to R3 press so I never hit it.

>>715108481
They pissed me off cause they broke all my favorite mods again.
The gameplay was mostly fixed since 2.01.00 but this breaking mods shit is annoying.
And then you won't provide us more slots despite you core business model being selling cosmetics?
You'd sell more cosmetics if you included some fucking extra slots with each one. Even if I never equip it it will give me more choices for mods

Ive been playing since S2 tekken 7 and I am Tekken King. It seems like this game is antithetical to my cerebral processes.

>>715104970 (OP)
We rate 5DR the highest. Right /v/bros?

>>715118738

>>715118462

Correct.

>>715116979
>Lame food colabs
Could have worked if this weren't so gay and retarded about the colab.
Harada has said he wants to put Colonel Sanders in Tekken but KFC JP said no.
However, He'd probably get traction if he asked KFC US division.

Waffle house said no to the Level license. They are going to do a parody level.
>Characters no one heard of
I don't mind them. I though Negan was the dumbest cross over till I started thinking he was the best cross over.
>They legit need Tifa or at the very least Yuffie. I doubt we'll get either.
>I have no clue what guest Character they are bringing this time. KOF seems to be licensing their characters to anyone who asks and it went over well last time.

>>715115326
>for casuals

None of the gameplay changes they made were for casuals. They were made so the game would look flashy in tournos which the average normie doesn't give a shit about.

>>715119437
>heat was not made for casuals

>>715118981
Mod management in Tekken isn't the easiest if you don't keep track of what you have and when the conflicts start.

If you download a bunch at once and get a crash you'll have no clue why.
If you add one, test it out, and adjust accordingly you usually can figure what makes a stable mod loadout.

Last time Tekken 8 broke mods, it was a physics issue with hair.
We also lost some mods for good. FineMod who makes some of the best mods doesn't like going back and fixing already finished work and turned off DMs after the first patch break.
I'm in regular contact with another modder and luckily he's willing to go back and fix em.
This time I have no clue WTF broke it this time.

And I love the T8 mods cause they look amazing. The mods do a better job at customization than the devs do with official items. I also like sexy outfits that make the average DOA player blush

>>715119690
I avoid Tekken and Soulcalibur after being scammed by the lazy faggots the first time. No thank you. Once is enough! Never again.

What a sorry fucking state the "customization" is in. Nothing fits, its all god damn ugly and stupid as shit looking. I've never felt more ripped off in my life after buying a tekken or soulcalibur game. Tekken I refunded immediately, but stuck with SC. It's just shit.

>>715119690
I'm more into legacy outfits desu but yeah the customization in 8 sucks really bad.
Also Bamco really can't make the Tekken females have curvy bodies.

>>715119437
You know literally nothing if you think heat and the overall gameplay of 8 wasn't made for casuals.

Jossie when?

>>715120506
Never. I hope she cries about it

Why these retards bring back characters no one ask for?

HE WILL SAVE THE GAME

>>715121198
Because they were already being made specifically for DLC before the game was even released.

>>715104970 (OP)
It's fun for me too.
I always hated playing any game online though.

>>715121295
It's over JDCR

>>715121716
>oh no the heckin scary online where you actually have to use your brain and the other guy might call you a scrub or something
pussy ass faggot

Season 3 is Marduk, Kunimitsu and Lei Wulong or Julia. Forget about the rest. It's over.

>>715119605
No. Almost every supposed "mechanic for casuals" just enables better players to kill casuals more quickly. Or it makes casual vs casual miserable because it just leads to more checkmate situations or knowledge checks.

>>715122050
That's exactly my point though. Fighting games are on a fundamental level anti casual so with gameplay you have to 100% go all in with the hardcore people. But heat is only in the game to make the game look more flashy, aka impress casuals.

>>715121909
Which cunnymitsu though?

>>715119075
>They legit need Tifa or at the very least Yuffie
God, no. NuTekken already has enough wizards jumping around with pretend martial arts

Undertaker for T8

>>715122291
Heat (much like slime) exists because devs seem to think that people hate playing neutral.

>>715104970 (OP)
>kekken
>fighting game
LMFAO

speaking of guests, the only hope of MK crossing over with kekken is with Harada since he became friends with Ed Boon so I hope he doesn't career sudoku

have they fixed the last patch issues?

>>715124995
Johnny Cage would be peak for T8. He already has a power up like heat in MK1 with the super star shit.

>>715125353
would be cool but it'd likely be either raiden or sub-zero per harada's taste.
MK x Tekken is like the only possible crossover that could top Akuma in T7 and guarantees Bamco bouncing back from Season 2. You don't even need much for the reveal trailer to cause mass hysteria.

The ai ghost battles need improvement.

>>715128035
Who gives a fuck about AI ghosts?

>>715128170
I do. The chances of me playing against Arslan Ash online are slim to none. Seeing how far I could get against an accurate ghost would be fun.

>>715108798
Grim as fuck

>>715104970 (OP)
Nah i've been playing every Tekken game since 3 and this is easily the worst one to date hands down. S2 is a fucking disaster where all character identity has been stripped and every game is just one 50/50 gambling mixup into another. Tekken is fucking dead.

>>715104970 (OP)
>if you ignore the issues it's good
I fucking hate this retarded mentality

>>715129627
Does SE even give a fuck about FF16? Tifa would've increased sales for both SE and Bamco.

>>715119849
SoulCalibur is only good if you're using Vodkalibir mods on PC, with UUU, UEVR, and whole other CheatEngine stuff.
I honestly have no idea why people even buy these half finished unplayable trash on Consoles...

>>715121295
>another animal
we already have like a fucking zoo filled with gorillas and braindead button mashing chinps...

I don't play 3D fighters but heard the S2 patch was the worst thing ever. How much have the subsequent patches helped? It seems like everyone is still dooming.

>>715134056
They added a band aid to a severed leg

My honest reaction to Tekken 8.

>>715118030
Fighting players might not like everything about combos but make no mistake, they do genuinely like combos
I don't really so I'd rather have Soulcalibur as well

>>715116979

>>715136887
Oh my goodness gracious

>>715137580
It's pretty funny because the Nago baseball swing is something you get conditioned not to casually air dash at pretty quickly, Chip had that coming.

Of course the character would be Scorpion.
They are trolling.

>>715137936

>>715137580
The new gen of T8 devs are low IQ shonentards so that doesn't surprise me.

>>715121295
He's the only reason I'm even gonna get T8. I still Play T6 on my retroid device where I just play Armor King only. I alwyas play him and Jaycee in TTT2 as well. When T7 came out I saw Armor King was not included, so I didn't bother purchasing it till he was announced. And now it's gonna be the same exact thing with T8.

>>715129627
Them turning it into a visual anime clusterfuck is the icing on top of the shit cake.
Crazy how Tekken 4 still looks so clean and sharp, although this footage is clearly PCSX2 upscaled, but still.
Tekken 7 was where I started to really lose interest and I've been playing since TTT1.

>they've already put Arnie, T-1000, Rambo, Robocop and Darth Vader in a fighting vidya

They might end up having to pay tribute if she becomes too popular. You won't ever see the above becoming mainstays without a good amount of ball gargling involved because IP holding companies are a bunch of penny squeezing longnoses.

>>715145602
Only *right now* as in this moment in time. On his release for like 3 months afterwards he was everywhere. They over nerfed him, then made everyone else broken in Season 2 so now he's not as picked.

>>715145298
Do 4tranners just never experience the outside world?
