Dammit, I keep lowering my Tekken 7 interest by looking at old Tekken stuff. Listening to the Tekken 5 OST... man these tracks are hype as hell. Haven't heard anything in T7 that comes close.
I'm edging closer and closer to not picking this up on release. The idea would sound crazy to myself a year ago, but Tekken 7 has been around for so long now that so little of it feels fresh or exciting. I've been following the arcade version's development since it was first announced, and I just don't see how what they're bringing to the home version could justify the wait. I'm so bored of these characters. I'm no longer impressed by the 'everything is greasy/shiny' UE4 look. Namco is doing the bare minimum to advertise the game just under two weeks out from release. Customization looks even worse than Tekken Tag Tournament 2's, despite there being fewer characters than even Tekken 6. No one ever answers any tough questions.
Withholding final judgement until release, but I'm buckling in for disappointment. To be more succinct, I've already seen enough of the game to know that most of what I value in Tekken is severely lacking or missing in Tekken 7.
