Tekken 8 Content Creators Argue The Devs Aren't Doing Enough

How about people.. I dunno.. Touch grass? If you pay this game for HOURS on end, and you are one of the few people in the world who reached GoD, with 999,999..maybe you need a break?

Because of your going to sit and complain THAT much about a game you put THAT much time into, only playing ONE mode in the game and nothing else, when Devs have to focus selling the game to EVERYONE, and not just sweaty players and Pros on rank... Maybe it would be good to take a break and play something else, because it's not that serious

they're alienating the long established fanbase with the way they're trying to make the game appeal to new players

I would've never thought tekken 8 would get this much hate.

I think the game is designed pretty well I and hundreds of thousands of other people have spent 400 plus hours in the game 😂

You niggas just like bitching

I love Tekken but Tekken 8 just sucks in so many ways

Its a fighting game. It gets boring after a few months.

what i find weird is in a discord server im in they do like tekken 8, but most of them are always excited and playing mvc2 or mvc3, sf6, guilty gear, blazblue, kof or other 2d fighters.

SF6 was NOT balanced at all at launch, pretty much all tournaments had Ken, JP and Luke all over them, and that's after the game launched with only 18 chars (which is a HUGE minus for an AAA fighting game in 2023 BTW).

So you glazing SF6 while PhiDX is glazing Tekken 8, the fact that he tries to damage control the "fixing everything" title is so pathetic, ESPECIALLY when he also said "compared to other games", while Tekken 8 is the one that needs fixing the most. MK1 has fixed any issues that it had (which were so miniscule and very few anyway) and SF6 has some major issues of its' own but at least it did fix some stuff. Tekken also fixed some stuff but now it's clearly the most broken and most lacking of the big 3.

And that "fixing everything" title doesn't indicating that Bamco are listening. Frame Whisper exposed Harada and Bamco in the latest Tekken Talk and it turns that they do NOT do anything against cheaters or pluggers, and that title is just used as a publicity tool to trick people to buy all the Tekken merchandise that Bamco make, which is becoming more and more the real product of Tekken, not the game itself.

Been a tekken player since tekken 1, didn’t like the release of tekken shop, battle pass etc. Dropped the game.

The devs ARE doing enough. It's the community that done too much. They hog all the food on the table. Now they have to wait months for more, only to hog all the food on the table once more.

used to be you wanted to unlock all the characters all you had to do was play the game. now you gotta pay the game. hard pass.

Thats my jin you are playing against my guy 😂🤜🏽💥

Tekken 7 is dead bro. Move on...

sf6 was not balanced on release lol

It was enough with rage boost and super. Tekken was all about skill, reflexes, knowing your characters attacks per limb and combos...

Who cares about new players, they need to retain their current base, most new players wont last a month without a friend who already plays the game.

sf 6 was NOT balanced on release😂😂😂😂😂

There needs to be a option to turn heat off before you search for a match. I think that would resolve a lot of problems in the game.

This is the first tekken game that i hated for a lot of reasons. Im really confused how people can enjoy this game tbh

If you come from tekken 7 it’s frustrating because the template was there for tekken 8 to thrive on but some how namco took all of the good qualities of 7 and just scrapped them. Character design is basic as hell mechanically now, no one is unique anymore when they have such a streamlined playstyle of aggression. Unintended mechanics found for characters in tekken 7 that stayed for years because they actually brought more life to the characters like Steve shiro combo being the biggest example are gone now. Dumbing everything down to the point it has no rewarding value was by far the dumbest money grabbing idea they came up with and it will 100% kill the longevity of the game if they don’t sort it. They don’t realise that a lot of the reason tekken 7 had such a great life span was simply difficulty of the characters and game. It being difficult to either pick up characters or learn fundamentals took a lot of time and people enjoyed that because it felt rewarding seeing the results of what you practised. Time is exactly the thing namco needed and now people are achieving things(especially veterans) far quicker and because of that tekken 8 has a shorter time span before people want more or get bored it’s namco’s fault for appealing so hard to the casual players to line their own pockets.

Casualization of legacy chars like Jin definitely has his part on me hating this game, that on top of all other problema this game has

Tekken 8 is fairly balanced in my opinion (and I main a low tier), but it is a way more aggressive game and I think that’s the part that’s so polarizing. The fundamentals are the same, but how you use them has changed. I think it’s all the complaining that driving people away from the game.

MOONSAULT FINALLY GETTING IT.

Tekken 8 is TRASH TRASH TRASH

Street Fighter did have its balance issues and complaints about not patching things but it lasted a bit longer than most.

Rank is only thing people complain they gonna fix it nobody happy 😑

Y’all complain about everything. Heat isn’t the problem at all only problem is the mfs who mess with the connection whenever they start getting beat

Phi DX on twitter acting like hes not the newest content whore lmfao.

Man tried to emphasize "fixing" like that takes away from the point. These college kids are annoying 💀

( we need more DAMN Offline stuff. )
-Arcade is very short we need tresuare battle in T8
-Customization we hate it we can't change color of everthing in Clothes, mishimas Electrics colors wont change
,and we need more items
-Tekken Force
-they need to give chracters some legacy moves back....
-More Legacy Stages like Moonlite T5 & Church T5 & Rooftop T4
-JUN story or other characters.... Brayan / Pual / Nina / Yoshi / Auska

I don’t even blame you if you start making content about other games more often if this keeps up.

gameplay design =/= balance btw

Devs are slow af to address the feedback game is dying

Can you talk about what Tekken 8 does good so the devs know what to keep doing

I’m watching pimp ho relationship in real time namco treating us people who been rocking with tekken like hoes, yeah I’m done, lmao ima be side piece for new players nah I’m good it’s real life and other games

This is a game where you can die from 2 mistakes, and you have very limited defensive tools to avoid it, I think the damage scaling needs a complete rework, or the HP should start from 2x of it's currect state atleast, but even then it's 4 mistakes and you die. Tbh the combos should deal way less damage, 100 is the max that should be possible with heat, rage and stage hazards, 60-ish 70-ish damage is where I draw the line with normal combos, and then 400 HP is pretty much reasonable to have imo, it's 5 to 7 mistake still, not counting all the unrecoverable dmg you can eat during a match with pokes.

The game is just really unbalanced too many characters have major advantages over others. also I moved on and deleted it playing other better games

God yall legacy players are annoying just enjoy the game. This is my first fighter and i absolutely love it.

They’ve abandoned their playerbase for people who won’t stick with the game. Thank god Harada and Murray are retiring after 9. But the way they are handling 8 I doubt we’ll see it. Look up Harada’s tweet longer rant on how he hated dlc and all returning characters for tekken 7 were promised to be free dlc while new characters would cost money. He quite literally became everything he ranted about it.

They want to implement a ghost if a player rage quits? Thats just going to encourage the behavior even though it may not affect us. Just give the winner the points and the cry babies the point loss 🤦🏽‍♂️

I haven’t even bothered with local tournaments because it’s just not worth the time with the god awful balancing and gameplay design. We didn’t need Tekken to be more and stupidly aggressive. We didn’t need heat and this ridiculous tracking and we sure as hell do not need these absurd frames. Customization sucks. They finally included frame data from the getgo then made all the frames so absurd so that you almost HAVE to use them to figure anything out, because unlike the last games, nothing is intuitive.

The problem with the character balancing is that people want to be carried by their characters to win tournament money. Those characters do need to be nerfed. Especially in this game.

Just give us rage drives or make heat function on a meter like supers. It’s absolutely insane how strong some characters are in heat. Chip damage and even more ridiculous pressure. Lidia in heat is borderline brain dead and does insane damage. Perfect example of a character that can drain your health in heat, while you block everything. Heat lasts the entire round sometimes and that’s because each launcher is netting like 50% since you’re almost always reaching a wall. What I like with heat is how when you’re already it heat, heat engagers become launchers. I think heat engagers should always have the ability to function that way. So if I’m not in heat and use and engager and hold forward, it should launch and my heat drains and slowly increases as I deal damage or take damage. Also, it should increase as you move forward and turtling should get you a negative penalty like arc system works games.

Harada blocked me months ago and I wasn’t even replying to him. Not only that, I was agreeing with him but there was probably just enough punctuation for him not to understand what he was reading, even though he doesn’t want us to translate our words to Japanese. The worst part is that when Murray makes all of the Japanese post for whatever reason, and Harada makes all of the English post. It’s annoying as fk

Delete heat buff movement, nerf stance 50 50s. Now you have a tekken game congratulations.

To be fair usually Tekken releases in arcades first for about a year or 2 before consoles so that’s what kinda fucked up the smoothness of this release and post release

Every character feels the same its kinda nuts how they accomplished that. Also pluggers are still rampant

People would complain if they got $1 million dollars as gift and the next person got only a dollar more 😅. Tekken 8 is fire 🔥 for the players that like the aggressive play style. I like it
