Tekken 8 with the ol' bait and switch
Release game, reviews well
3 weeks after all the good reviews, add a shop with microtransactions
Yeah yeah you don't have to buy. I think this is a new thing we will see more games do to avoid having initial reviews effected by microtransactions.
Release the game then just add them later on after the review process. Ez

Fighting games are largely a scam anyway.
Wait for the game to be 3 years old and just buy it with all the dlc for $20.
One thing I never got with them is that the games are so similar, why even get the newest release?

No one wants to get into a multiplayer game 3 years later when half the community has moved on and all that's left is the hardcore players who never stopped playing.
MP games are at their peak when they launch and the community is massive and filled with people of all skill levels

Doesn't this happen with literally every fighting game that comes out? There is always a "complete" or "ultimate" edition that comes out a year or so later that includes the dlc. This is why you shouldn't buy "AAA" games on day 1.

But I think it's more so about the dirty dirtness of adding the store post reviews. They knew having a microtransaction shop would effect how their game reviewed, so they obviously waited on purpose for the initial wave of public reception.
Kind of a scummy move

As much as I hate microtransactions, I love Tekken 8. I'm down for more customization options and I'll pay for my favorite characters.
I think there's a balancing act. Some microtransactions are ok. Sports games and Pay 2 win microtransactions are terrible.

For additional characters, the developers are putting in a lot of time to add that character, which takes a lot of work to implement because you have to balance the characters with the other 40+ on the roster. So, If I want that character, I will gladly pay extra $ for it. If you want extra food at a restaurant, you pay for it.

If you've been burned preordering AAA you should've done more research. Avoid Ubisoft, EA, Activision, sports games and 90% of the problems go away.

Agreed that it takes time to balance characters, though I will say, they could've been had those characters balanced before the game and are just selling as DLC. I could be wrong.

It takes time to balance characters..... You mean like the 8 years between tekken 7 and 8? Lmao are you serious? Tekken 7 released in 2015. This game isn't new from the ground up either.
I don't really have an issue with cosmetic shops. Doesn't effect gameplay at all.
Like I said the dirty part was waiting until after launch and the game was reviewed. We all know damn well that shop was ready to go on day 1 and they held it back on purpose to release as an update.
It's not the shop that's the underlying issue, it's the way it was implemented as an update to obviously avoid it being in the initial review process.

Then you also have the new heat system which gives totally unique moves while in heat and a bunch more additional properties to old moves. It's a mess right now and definitely will take a ton of ironing out over time.It takes time to balance characters..... You mean like the 8 years between tekken 7 and 8? Lmao are you serious?
