- Heihachi Mishima has finally been released in Tekken 8.
- While he has been welcomed by the fandom, his stage costing an additional $4.99 has angered many of them.
- Due to that, they have negatively reviewed the DLC pack as well as the base game, claiming Bandai Namco’s greed knows no limit.
Tekken 8 has been facing some criticism ever since it was released. Some of the main reasons involved microtransactions and pluggers. However, now another reason has surfaced online angering fans even more.
Heihachi Mishima has been released in the game, and while many have welcomed his appearance, they don’t appreciate his stage, costing them additional money. Due to that, fans have negatively reviewed the game, making it fall to mixed reviews on Steam.
Why it matters: The character stage should be available to the players if they spend money on the character, or at least it should be part of the Year Pass.
Genmaji Temple, Heihachi’s stage, costs players an additional $4.99, which made many fans furious. Currently, there are over 300 reviews for the stage, and only 11% of them are positive, meaning 89% of the reviews are negative.
It makes me sad to have to leave a negative review on such a fun game, but Bandai Namco just keeps on trying to squeeze more and more money out of the playerbase, and it’s infuriating
So, the majority of fans don’t like the fact that they have to pay an additional $5 for Heihachi Mishima’s stage when some of them are even paying $39.99 for the game’s year pass.
The Executive Producer of Bandai Namco, Katsuhiro Harada, discussed this issue on Twitter, apologizing to the fans and trying to justify this stage, costing fans additional money.
Fans are still furious over this as they think Bandai Namco is trying to squeeze money out of them one way or another. This stage should have been free for those who actually purchased Heihachi Mishima DLC or at least for those who bought the ultimate edition edition.
Take my damn clown money and choke on it. Never buying any bs editions of anything ever again.
Fans are complaining that even after buying the ultimate edition, they have to pay more money for it even though they were promised $1 content in-game. Even though Harada took notice of the situation, nothing has been done yet, and fans are still left with nothing but disappointment.
Thank you! Please share your positive feedback. 🔋
