Seems like a bunch of Heat Dashes were just turned into flop-on-the-ground knockdowns.

They finally figured it out.

Tekken fans are heroin addicts with stockholm syndrome. The first update in 2 years that wasn't straight up awful and everyone who was dooming and saying they were quitting flocks back to slob on Bandai Namco's knob.

No. Even if the game balance and game systems were "ideal," this game would still be worthless trash.

>>737053042
They need to remove heat, end of discussion.

>>737053042
Who cares about adjustments to the battle systems when the roster, character designs, character models, UI/UX, general art direction, stage designs, music, netplay, and monetization/battle pass/DLC practices are all still offensively, horrendously, embarrassingly bad.

dead game. this series is a laughing stock now and even Harada-san jumped off the sinking ship. anybody left playing this garbage is the laughing stock of the FGC and gets no respect for being "good" at it. enjoy your glorified party game.

I literally cant believe they shot themselves in the foot twice now.

>Tekken fans are heroin addicts with stockholm syndrome.

No, I know exactly what keeps me coming back. The executional demands of playing Tekken are the most comprehensible for me so I was able to advance in it more effectively than any other fighting game I've played, despite playing other fighting games I find more fun and less frustrating/jank.

wtf you dont like landing a simple jab that generates enough particles to murder an epileptic child?

>>737053424
They have done this literally every season now, release dogshit then spend the next year attempting to fix it. At least they did something was probably hard for them to hear knee say the game was unsalvageable and the whole discourse overall.

>>737054342
90% of tekken 8's current population are casuals. if that was 7K 'actual fighting game players' I would be impressed but it's not. 7K is relatively low for a playerbase composed only of casuals. it would make more sense to compare it's numbers to the other casual playerbase games like fortnite, overwatch, etc. which it pales in comparison to.

>>737053042
Remake Tekken 1-2-3-4 and I will buy all of them
Also Tag 1
Remaster 6 and Tag 2 and I buy them aswell

>>737053709
Pfft, of all the things to complain about.

Do I need to remind you that Tekken 7 looked dated in 2015, let alone 2017 when it was actually ported?

>>737054551
Well knee was completely right (for once), Tekken 8 could never become a good game. But tekken fans are incapable of admitting that they are addicted to a dogshit game that feels awful to play. They don't really hate Tekken 8, they just like being angry and to complain because that's the only emotion Tekken 8 inspires.

>>737054970
It's actively killing my interest in the whole genre.

I feel like I'm growing past any interest in fighting games. I never connected well with the community and I have no friends left who play fighting games casually.

until they remove Heat or at teh very least offer a mode without it, this game will remain DOGSHIT

>>737053042
I know this is bait, but they barely scratched the surface of obvious adjustments that the community has complained about for a year minimum at this point. They need at least a year of monthly balance patches of the same caliber before the game becomes playable.
And mind you people are calling this the best patch Tekken 8 has had. Very hard to believe they will deliver, but Tekken fans will gladly take this as their cue to pour another 2000 hours into the game, coping that the devs now care.

Plus I get so fucking angry when I get distracted while playing Tekken seriously and I just want to cut that out of my life.

Tekken 7 is also a bad game and a bad product. It was 100% carried by the narratives of the competitive ecosystem and personalities.

Tekken 7 was very dull to me but it was a better fighting game than 8. It had shit single player content and the visual style was so outdated and flat.

8 is the inverse. It's better as a video game (more single player content, cool nods to the series history, lots of flash and pizzazz) but fucked as a fighting game.

7 being so dull but functional killed my enthusiasm towards the end of its run. I was burned out and I came into Tekken 8 feeling detached from the game. I've been a lot less motivated, despite all the time I threw at the game, and the actual fighting being so frustrating has not helped.

playing this game is a humiliation ritual. we are laughing at tekken players. just let it go.

>>737056441
i assume that mostly nigs and latinos use those kinda customs. muslims if they have a beard too.

>>737056705
How did they ruin it? Tekken 4 is still there in it's original state.

>>737056705
The funny thing is Tekken 5 is now acknowledged as being even more broken than 4 was.

But it has a better reputation nonetheless because it was seen as a course correction.

Tekken 4 suffered from being "not like Tekken".

Juggles were neutered, wall play became a huge factor, and the overall way you had to play the game felt very strange for a Tekken game.

minor improvement to a bad and unfun game

>>737062002
>put 6 on steam murray
also a bad and unfun game. as soon as they added bullshit like Alisa, Lars, and wall combos the series went to shit. Only Tekken 1 - Tekken Tag 1 are truly good games.

>>737062392
>Tekken 1
dogshit game that literally doesn't function on a basic level. It is a miracle they gave them a second chance to get it right.

>>737056705
No one played tekken 3 or 4 competitively back in the day in NA you huge poser nigger retard faggot. 4 is dogshit

>>737062763
It's still an artistically cohesive game with actual direction, and with cool character designs, music, and general art direction working together, which is a lot more than you can say about Tekken 8. With that being said, 2 is basically a "redo" of 1, so you could just pretend 1 doesn't exist.

as a button mashing retard do the patches in these games even change anything that i would notice? last time i played the game was when it came out

>>737064101
There are no heat dash launchers anymore. You just get a guaranteed single move follow-up instead of a launch, but the game is still shit and unlikely to be significantly improved. This update is quite literally just a "fell for it again" bait.

>>737064101
The time you spend being juggled is reduced so you'll spend more time in the actual fight instead of waiting for a combo to end so you can try to do something. At least that's what this patch tries to accomplish. Not sure if it succeeded.

FGC is mostly trannies and turtles.

dis thread

like good ass it is

i like how tekken has 1 good game 20+ years ago (tekken 3) and 1 competitively relevant game 10 years ago (tekken 7) and they act this uppity and loud about their series as if any sane, intelligent, reasonable, or white person would care.
