Tekken 7 has 18,000 concurrent Steam users with "Very positive" reviews

I played the original tekken on ps1. If I pick this game up will I have any idea what's going on in story mode?

I haven't played since Tekken 3 on PS1 (which I can't even remember the story of anyway) and I think you can still understand the story. I think it does a good enough job at explaining characters and back story which is relevant to understanding what's happening. That said, there is some things which are kind of left. Like a few characters which are there but it seems like they assume you knew them from the previous games or whatever.

It does include unlockable videos of the previous games, which I've not looked at yet. That might help I guess.

There's recaps of all the old games, though the Tekken 6 summary is bizarrely incomplete. But honestly from the hour or so I've played so far it doesn't matter, the story is all over the place and it doesn't seem to really be building up anything. I'm holding back any real impression until I'm done with it, but as of now the storytelling is kind of awful.

You'd probably be more than fine if you just watched the intro videos to all the previous Tekkens, which are included in 7's gallery.
 
Runs great on my PC and I'm getting more matches than I did when I tried PS4 which is surprising. Even playing some guy in Colorado when I'm in Alaska was fine with just a tad of delay. I'm very happy that the PC version might be the definite version, because it looks way better on my system and I can use my low latency monitor.

Honestly, I never understand this. It's like watching a porn movie only because of its story. Fighting games are all about multiplayer (local or online).

That must be why fighters out the modes in. Because absolutely nobody cares. We know developers love to spend money making cutscenes, hiring voice actors and the like for no reason at all.
 
Geez. Some fighting games did really poorly on Steam.

Funnily enough I found it easy to get fights in this up to a few months after release. Shame, I was always hoping this would do well.

My man. Cross is great, I wish Capcom would make a re-release with the Gems and GFWL taken out and give it the chance it deserved.

I didn't say that "nobody cares". I just don't get why people fixate on story in fighting games over the actual gameplay.

And I doubt that story in Tekken 7 is better than this:


:)
 
Capcom thought the same with SFV and look at how it turned out for them.

Probably they should just make a movie instead of game.

In 90s there wasn't any story mode, only weird cg movies at the end in Arcade mode, but seems it didn't bother people back then:

According to Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada, Tekken 3 sold 8.3 million copies during its initial release on the original PlayStation. It makes it the second best-selling fighting game of all-time, second only to Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

You can't be serious.

The whole call to fame and wide appeal of Tekken 3 back then was that it had a ton of characters, awesome CG endings, bonus modes, and tons of unlockables and variety.

People want this stuff from fighting games, and rightfully so. The dichotomy you are proposing between gameplay and features is simply false.

To be fair all that proves is that there's a lot of people out there who still don't actually understand fighting games. Playing other people is ulltimately way more rewarding and fun.
 
we still wondering why people like story modes, instead of wondering why people give a shit what others enjoy?

Or, people enjoy different things?

Shocking, right?
 
I want to get it on PC but I'm worried the online community will die out quickly. I was planning on getting it for PS4 eventually when I get bored of playing injustice. Hopefully the numbers keep up and I will buy it on PC so I can play on my arcade cabinet.

"HOL-E-FUCK the netcode on Tekken 7 PC is incredible. Game feels amazing."

"PS4 seems equivalent to arcade. PC is so much more responsive I'm dropping combos from habitually doing them early"
Stop making me want this game. Maybe I should play TT2 on my Xbox to git gud in tutorials because I have no clue how to play. But I really want to play an awesome PC version.

Tekken 3 Arcade Mode is still more fun to play then any single player mode in SFV though.

Also it should be noted story isn't the only way to add single player content. When I get T7 I'll likely spend most time in the treasure battle.
 
Steamspy owner estimation for the first 'day': 76,410 ± 14,014

Steamspy numbers are completely useless for the first 3-4 days after launch. The algorithm they use needs a couple of days to catch up.

The real figure is likely to already be over 3x that
 
PC is the best platform for fighters tbh
It's truly improved, I can't handle all these fighting games on PC, with their free online and huge controller compatibility (just kidding, I can handle them just fine, keep them coming!).
 
Good to hear this is good on PC. I might get it later, when its on sale.
If it had characters I liked more and console cross play, I'd have picked it up already.

Can someone start a petition to get a new Soul Calibur on there? That is my dream.
 
The game that sold over 40 millions copies on consoles up till this point gets its first release on PC, and now all of a sudden PC is the BEST place for fighters. It wasn't a very compelling statement to begin with, hence LMAO.

Until PC can have sustained/higher numbers for fighters over their console counterparts, and actually get every major fighter released to it (MKXL), his statement will remain uncompelling.

It's the best place for fighters. Any controller you want to use, free online, best graphics, best input lag, best framerates, best resolutions, and it won't die just because everyone moved to a new console and there's no b/c.

Times have changed.

What FGs do you play on console for comparison?
 
Best place for fighting games depends on what you're looking to get out of it.

Visuals, performance, price and controller compatibility? PC.

Player base (not just size, but quality)? PS4 and Arcade.

I love the PC version of this game. Adore it. If you want to play competitively, I'd still say you need the console version. Unless you're in Asia, in which case get your ass down to the arcade.

There wasn't any story mode but you had a lot of content in Tekken 3:

Arcade Mode
Versus
Time Attack
Survival
Team Battle
Tekken Force
Tekken Ball

I don't know why you seem so angry that people like something you don't and have to take some "I'm better than these people" stance.
