TPG - Before I begin this opinion piece, let me make one thing clear: I love Tekken. Katsuhiro Harada’s beat ‘em up is the reason I bought a Sony PlayStation instead of a Sega Saturn, the reason I took up martial arts, and the reason my teachers rarely received my homework on time. From the moment I performed my first 10-hit combo at the age of ten, I was hooked. Consequently, I’ve purchased every instalment across all three PlayStation generations, become at least competent with every character, and taken part in a variety of official tournaments. In brief, I’m pretty handy.

Man of Medan and Blair Witch are now both here to scare the living daylights out of all who dare come near, and so it’s hard to think you should be focusing on anything else. But let’s not get hasty as first of all we still have all those free games to look through courtesy of the Xbox Games With Gold program for September 2019. So let’s dive straight in and see whether or not you should be bothering with the latest batch of Xbox Games With Gold freebies."
To be honest getting Hitman for free is really good. That game has so much replayability.
"Hitman raises his head" What a terrible and poorly written title for an article.
Damn. Blair Witch, hitman(i had on ps4) and then gears 5 in a few days? Gamepass Ultimate is cool af
Major Nelson: "For the month of September, Xbox Live Gold members will receive four new free games - two on Xbox One and two on Xbox 360."
That is a horrible month. Hitman is the only good thing there and it just left Game Pass. They are giving you a cheap $5 game which I think is a new low for them. Then you have the third EDF game on GWG this year and it isn't even good. Tekken Tag 2 was given to all Xbox players during E3 a couple years ago. Microsoft continues to show that they are just trying to push people to Game Pass and have given up on this service.
welp the xbox 360 games are better than the xbox one games this month, was hoping for more.
James writes - "Prepare to say your goodbyes to another selection of Xbox Game Pass titles as the end of August gets ever nearer. But which games are leaving us and will they be a hard loss to take for current subscribers of the service?"
I never understand why people think the future of games are services since the content won’t indefinitely be available
Meh pretty weak selection of leaving titles should hopefully make room for a more exciting selection
I'd rather go out and buy the discs for these games pretty sure they are dirt cheap to buy
Can these articles stop please, same as "Seven games are leaving Xbox Game Pass at the end of July 2018" the the same stupid comments as July.
What's nxt month "Seven games are leaving Xbox Game Pass at the end of September 2018"
Seriously have gamers become stupid, brainless zombies or something? It's not hard to fathom games pass is like "Netflix" we get it games come and go each month its like £7.99 a Month.
I like Netflix for the occasional hangover
Sunday film and Netflix originals plus documentarys but hey guess what? That doesn't stop me from buying "stranger things" or "daddy's home 2" on Blu Ray.
If you don't like it, then don't have games pass if you do then get it. Is it that hard too understand.
BTW I'm not a xbox owner so the same goes for Ps Now, if you like it get it, if you don't then don't but please can we stop with the same stupid comments every time like these on gaas articles.

Very well written article. I remember playing Tekken 2 and 3 on my PS3 all the time when I was a kid. I had plenty of fun with the franchise despite not having the patience to learn even a two hit combo(except Law's Machine gun punch and Eddie's basic breakdance attack).
Shame to hear that this Tekken is virtually impenetrable for casual Tekken fans.
The people who say, "You just suck" don't realize that cheap A.I. is what stops casuals from getting into fighting games, thus giving the genre as a whole a bad name. If the genre has a bad name, sales dwindle. If sales dwindle, your precious elite fighting games that alienate 85% of gamers will stop coming down the pipeline.
"You just suck"
Nice read. Sorry, couldn't resist lol.
It sounds broken, but aren't Boss Battles supposed to be tough anyway *shrugs*.
Thanks for the warning. I'll keep my fingers crossed for an update.
Great article, i had the problem with multiple fighters like Guilty Gear, Street Fighter 2 or even Mortal Kombat. Some characters (mostly the main ones) are designed the way so you can pull off really easy combos/super moves/wake ups etc. which basically means that playing against the AI is a pain in the ass. And since they spam the same moves over and over without giving you the chance to attack you're getting frustrated and once they got you they'll continue with a deadly absurd super mega combo leaving you wondering what the F just happened. The attacks are cheap and they AI wont make any mistakes thats why the difficulty stays the same or it just seems that it stays on hard. They really need to do something about it!
Unknown is a whore, but there's a trick to beating her, and most other Tekken bosses.
1. Spammable moves. She can't deal with Kaz's spinning legs of death. Since she likes to attack a lot, enjoy the counter hits you'll get off of her.
2. Lower down your aggression. How well you play is how well the game response to you. Look at Ghost Battle. If I'm doing horrible, the CPU will kinda scale itself back. But if I'm doing great, it'll knock me around.
3. Tag combos. If you can map them to your L2 button, you can hit that and juggle her all day since she hardly ever blocks it.
I've have been playing tekken since it was in the arcade and for the first 2 years I was a cannon fodder. But, after years of training and practice, I will beat you like you stole something! I enjoy playing 1 vs 2 because it's a challenge. Tekken is a very difficult game just like a real martial art, it takes practice and dedication. If you are a newbie or just a casual gamers and you run into a monster like me, you will be cremated and there is nothing you can do about it but train like rocky.
