How to cope with being beaten by me.

I beat you. So you got washed by me... This isn't uncommon at all. It is completely normal for a player of your caliber to be outclassed by someone such as myself (a skilled gamer). But the question is, where do you go from here? This all depends on how yo...

Tekken 8 Needs More Trans Representation and Minorities – It’s 2024, Get With the Times!

Alright, it's time to address the elephant in the room: where the hell is the representation in Tekken 8? Look, Tekken is one of the most iconic fighting game franchises in history, and Bandai Namco has been able to diversify its roster over the years with characters from different nationalities, but it's still not enough . We're living in 2024, and fighting games like Tekken still seem stuck in the past when it comes to transgender characters and proper minority representation . [/...

TEKKEN Classic Collection

Why hasn't Harada ever considered making a classic compilation of all the Tekken games? With the hype of Capcom releasing so many of their classic fighting games for modern platforms, you would think this would spark some discussion over at Bamco on capitalizing on the nostalgia of older games by making a remastered collection for old school fans to play as well as introduce those games to newcomers. It would be a wasted opportunity if they didn't jump on the current trend of releasing remasters of thos...

Back when I wrote my Tekken 7 review, not even in my most cynical dreams could I have predicted just how absurd Tekken 8 was going to turn out…

The positives

Credit where credit is due.

The core gameplay:
It's strong and can be built upon and improved going forward. When the stars align, it can be very fun to play.
While a lot of stuff was added with casual/new players in mind, I do not see this as necessarily game breaking, but it definitely is something new to adapt to. Legacy skill still carries over and strong Tekken players will be strong in T8 as well, regardless of mechanical changes.
That being said, if you don't like the gameplay, you don't like the gameplay, and that's ok; there's plenty of other games out there.
Rematch loading times:
Almost completely eliminated. No more "Get Ready for the Next Battle", yay!
Visuals and effects:
Undeniably a huge step up from the previous game.
It's Tekken:
There's a reason the franchise has stuck around for 30 years and is (currently) the last of the 3D fighters.

With that out of the way, it’s time to address the negatives, i.e. the entire rest of the game lmao…

The negatives

Initial review period & unannounced monetization debacle:
The game released with the usual full price model and different (increasingly expensive) editions to choose from, only to then add a cash shop shortly after release, after the positive reviews had rolled in. This was done completely out of the blue with no sign, word, or announcement prior to release.
Purposely cut content & monetization debacle, part 2:
The game has been stripped of its usual breadth of customization items in order to then attempt to sell them back to the community via the aforementioned cash shop.
Never mind that most of these items are assets taken straight from previous games…
As if this wasn't enough, we now also have loot boxes with old outfits.
Monetization debacle, part 3; Electric Boogaloo Battle-Pass:
The battle pass, which was also never mentioned prior to release, much like the cash shop, is full of absolute junk.
Ranging from stuff that looks like stock Blender assets, to more rehashed items from previous games, this abomination just kind of exists with no real purpose or incentive to spend your money.
Balance:
It is once again atrocious; you know things are bad when both the competitive and casual audience can agree on something.
Yet leadership does not seem to think so, or perhaps they just don’t care about the game outside of its money-generating aspects, as they have decided not to touch the balance for several months/patches at a time and proudly boast about it on twitter. #MurraysVision.
Collaborations & Tie-ins:
Brand collaborations that no one asked for with more low effort, low quality items whose “development" time could’ve been spent on actual problems… Unfortunately the people at the head of the project seem more concerned with brute-force marketing the franchise to people outside of the community, rather than catering to those who actually play and pay for the game. I hope those Chipotle, Nike, and whatever other tie-ins that are currently in the pipeline were worth the continuously dwindling player-base to y’all.
Replays and DLC characters:
Replay take-over is the greatest feature ever, allowing you to literally take control during a replay to try out different moves and see how you could have changed a scenario for the better.
Unfortunately, this feature is unavailable for DLC characters you haven't purchased.
You either cough up the dollarydoos or you forget about learning, even if you have no intention of ever playing the DLC character yourself.
Good job guys. Keep nickel-and-diming your community, I'm sure it'll do wonders for the game's long-term health...
Rematch and FT2 format:
In a game where so much revolves around adapting and feeling out your opponent, limiting your ability to rematch players to FT2 is absurd.
As a result, long sets are gone, as are old school "death matches" which used to end in promo/demote.
Cheating, plugging, and possible back-end vulnerabilities:
People are still cheating, people are still plugging, nothing's changed from Tekken 7.
When asked about it on twitter, leadership will make empty promises at best, lie about stuff they're doing, or lash out at their playerbase at worst.
Speaking of which, one community member has submitted several reports about potential security vulnerabilities during the open beta, none of which were answered or addressed to this day. Looks like Bandai Namco really wants a repeat of the Dark Souls RCE incident…
Netcode:
Remember that time when Harada hopped on his podcast and proceeded to insult and berate the entire community for allegedly not knowing what they are talking about when it comes to rollback netcode? The episode which he then swiftly deleted when it blew up in his face? Well, whatever netcode the game has, it has nothing to do with what competing games have been implementing over the past years; it’s unstable, messy, and laggy as always.
UX Matters:
Absolute mess. The experience from launching the game up until you get into a match is horrendous. Everything takes forever, feels clunky, and is just overall unpleasant.
Meanwhile the folks working on Street Fighter 6 manage to get you into a match in probably less than a minute from the moment you launch the game.
What gives, Bandai Namco?!
Disrespect for the community:
Long gone are the days when Harada literally had to beg people to play Tekken (remember TTT2?) because sales were down so far that he feared the franchise might get shelved for good.
In the post-Tekken-7-era, the head honchos have absolutely lost their minds. From the constant dismissive attitude, the cheap shots and mockery at the expense of those who want the game to improve, or the number of lies told which later get swept under the rug in the face of backlash. Excuses and empty promises are now the norm.
Remember the battle pass and cash shop which were sneakily added post-launch, after enough positive reviews had rolled in?
Well, along with that came a DMCA-wave aimed at modders in order to shut down their operations and force players to have to rely on the game's paid items exclusively.
Obviously, this hasn’t worked out as they’d hoped, backlash aside, as the modders are still out there doing their thing even if their work has certainly become a lot less visible.

To sum it all up...

We live in a time where fighting games have seen an incredibly resurgence and risen to a level of popularity like never before.
Tekken 8 also benefitted from that at launch: the hype was tremendous, content creators were pumping out content like crazy, people outside the scene were getting in on the fun and spreading it to a much larger crowd who might have never picked up a fighting game otherwise.
Yet since then, the leadership's decisions, lies, and priorities on the game's direction have done nothing but chase people away.

So if you aren’t already a Tekken player or have friends that ask you to pick up the game, maybe you’re better off buying something else.
Don’t let the doom and gloom get to ya - go play fighting games and reward the devs that respect you and value your time, money, and opinions!

I love Tekken, but f*ck whatever this “product” is devolving into.
Oh, and hey, Harada? Murray? DON’T ASK ME FOR SH*T (or my money from here on out).

I have loved Tekken since I was a kid, LOVE this game and its core concept but the shady monetization in this game is just grimy and feels gross on a $69.99 price tag.
The inconsistent patch notes, this game has become Dragunov simulator, EVERY time you get to a promotion match they DC and they get 0 punishment for it. This is not the Tekken we deserve...its the Tekken we got....
