Nice graphics for a Street Fighter game containing Tekken characters. That's really all I can say about Tekken 8 so far.

As with Tekken 7 and Tag 2, I still won't touch the game with a ten foot pole as it still has all of the same BS as its two predecessors. Whenever I end up watching a Tekken 7 or 8 gameplay video the games make me roll my eyes and groan every time I see the fake slowdowns, the 23-hit 80% damage juggles etc. and I end up closing the YouTube tab in disgust. Also, Tekken 7 hid basically everything under paid DLC, Fahk(umram) that.

BTW, the only reason Tekken 7 sold so many copies is because it wasn't restricted to a single platform (e.g. PlayStation), pulled from the shelves when the next batch of games came out, and forced out-of-print three or so years after release unlike the earlier games. Tekken 3 and 5 are the true sales kings (and I don't even play those games as I prefer Tekken 2 and Tag 1), with Dark Resurrection being the last "true" Tekken gameplay-wise. It took Tekken 7 several releases ("seasons"), multiple platforms and nearly ten years to reach sales figures of those two earlier games which only had two print runs each (first edition and Greatest Hits/Platinum/Essentials) and both on an aging console with its successor only a year from being announced. /boomer_rant
