I'm glad to hear it has been more enjoyable than 7. Sorry for coming off as a sourpuss, I've become sick of a lot of bad industry traits and fighting games tend to be the worst right now. Seeing these 'Meta' campaigns included just seems liked fluff to me and I find it really nauseating. I've struggled with Tekken ever since juggling became a core mechanic, it just seems really goofy to me - Of course it is infuriating to the player on the receiving end.Tekken 8 is actually quite great much to my surprise. It's always been a consistently enjoyable franchise but never amazing or top notch but they did a great job with the story for 8 and actually went the cinematic route finally. The gameplay is also pretty solid. 8 upon first impression is easily the best title in the franchise whereas 7 felt like the worst outside of the original and possibly 4. The issue I had with 7s story was they went the route of using anime cartoon drawings for a large portion of the story mode rather than making it fully cinematic. It was 2015, no excuse to use cartoons when the technology to make something impactful was already available to them. I found the story to be a lot weaker too with Heihachi/Kazuya being the main focus instead of Jin/Kazuya.
Understandable. Tekken 8 at launch feels much like Tekken 3 and 5 felt like when they launched in that its pretty damn perfect for its time. I'm obviously not comparing 8 to two older titles that are way outdated and hardly qualify as still being playable in the modern age, but the way that 3 and 5 felt somewhat revolutionary for their time is how 8 comes off, whereas 7 feels more like 4...an experimental stepping stone to the next title. There is still juggling and also a new heat mode that they ripped right out of Dead or Alive 6 that makes it incredibly simple to win fights when used, but it flows nicely together.I'm glad to hear it has been more enjoyable than 7.

I recently replayed Mortal Kombat 9, 10 & 11 all in their complete forms and really enjoyed them - But much like other games of the genre I won't invest until a year or two when they release a Komplete Edition.
RENT A HERO NO.1
Rent-A-Hero is still one of the best AM2 games ever made, it is an absolutely wonderful title and my time playing it was arguably one of my most-enjoyable experiences with the Dreamcast.Afterwards, I sprung into decades-backlog wishlist to splurge on myself for my birthday a couple months ago. Been focusing a lot on AM2 ever since I tracked down Daytona 2001 and 18 Wheeler a few years ago. Definitely a theme for my twitch channel when not playing Shenmue:
Sonic R Saturn
Sonic All Stars Racing Wii
Fighting Vipers 2 Dreamcast (!!!)
Dead or Alive 2 Dreamcast (alongside Soul Calibur, always forget Ive sold twice or thrice since my teens and didn't own anymore)
Virtua Fighter 2 Saturn (ditto above)
POD Speedracer Dreamcast (yay another title for my BBA!)
Ten Pin Alley Saturn
*SUPER RANDOM* sealed Shenmue 2x
Also got Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed PS3 but mistook the Ryo DLC being Playstation exclusive rather than PC exclusive--oof! Exchanged for the original Wii version; 6th gen gfx engine Ryo better than 7th gen in my hypothesis. Plus, why not get some more use from my Wii and motion controls!?
Current updated wishlist backlog:
Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution
X-FILES PS1
PSO ep1+2
MGSVR/Tronne Bonne PSN
Syberia 1+2/Syberia 3+4 PSN
