Season 2 for Tekken 8 launched with drastic system-wide changes, including increased combo damage, and powerful plus-frame homing moves.
Tekken 8 Season 2 updates spark controversy with balance changes and glitches, forcing Bandai Namco to address fan concerns and restore harmony to the game.
Thanks to the PS5 console bundle, Sony's adorable platformer Astro Bot remains very high in the UK's physical games chart. It's in second place, and has been in the top three for many weeks in a row.
Tekken 8 has returned to the top 10, coming back from the dead straight to number three.
Been so many good deals on the console with astro included this week. Might be why. Not knocking it by that comment BTW.
Interesting. Wonder if the narrative that this game is selling poorly is still floating around.
It’s not. And it is strange to wonder about notions in people’s heads but we all have to waste time thinking about something I suppose
Playing Astro Bot right now and having a blast. Though I really hate the tiny shape levels
I finished Astrobot 3 times hahaha...it's just THAT good! I finally caved and bought the PSVR (used and comes with 2 MOVE controllers and physical copy of Ark Park for $125) to play Rescue Mission and MY GOD it's an even better game! totally worth it!
Bandai Namco has responded to the widespread negative feedback from the Tekken 8 community following the release of Patch 2.0 and the launch of Season 2.
This has to be the worst balance patch in fighting game history. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this, even the most optimistic people in the Tekken community are speaking out about it. Bamco responses though just seem tone deaf. They've had a whole year of feedback to listen to and basically went in the complete opposite direction. Nothing but a rollback will fix this mess in the immediate future.
