Hmm, well, that's certainly an interesting lineup for the next batch of DLC characters for Tekken 7.
Plus, I think the new trailer they showed for Negan, which almost perfectly replicates several of the key scenes that featured him in 'The Walking Dead', was pretty well done and a nice tribute to the show.
I also think it was pretty funny and a nice touch to see Bryan Fury knocking on the door of the RV to get Negan's attention.
Sure, the graphical displays of this trailer were a little... lackluster in some parts, but I assume that they'll eventually fix that when the DLC characters are eventually released.
And honestly, I cannot, for the life of me, understand all the outrage that the introduction of Negan is causing among the Tekken fanbase and gamers in general.
I mean, really guys? Does every Tekken 7 video that features Negan have to be where 99% of the comments are proclamations about; 'how Negan would've been better in Mortal Kombat'? Or where half the comments are 'I will never play another Tekken game again!', or where the other slice of the comments are 'they won't make Tekken 8! it will all be DLC at this point!'.
It's just... really guys? Does this game really push your gamer rage buttons that much?
Seriously though, why can't gamers just shut up and enjoy the damn game?
Furthermore, do you all seriously think that this is the first time Namco has introduced a character from a violent, bloody, vulgar series into one their existing franchises?
Let me take all of you back in 2003 when Soul Calibur 2 was released for the PS2, Xbox and Gamecube. On the Xbox, the character of Spawn was introduced as an Xbox-exclusive character for that version of the game. And he comes from a world that's pretty similar to Negan's; a world full of bloodshed, swearing, vulgarity and violent dismemberment when it comes to fighting.
But did we hear any complaints from the Spawn fanboys and Namco weeaboos saying that he would've been better in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon?
Or hell, back in 1998 when Tekken 3 was the hot new game at the PlayStation 1's lifetime peak, did anyone in the manga and weeaboo crowd throw a shit fit when Gon, a midget dinosaur from a lesser known manga series, was shoehorned into that game without any explanation whatsoever?
The answer to both of these questions, is; No.
It's really pathetic how salty and butthurt gamers have become nowadays.
And quite honestly, to everyone who's complaining about the 'absurdity' of the indroduction of Negan into Tekken 7...
...you all realize that the Tekken series, very much like Dead or Alive, Soul Calibur, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, Killer Instinct, and many, many other fighting games and fighting franchises, have a shit-ton of 'absurdity' to them... right?
If you want 'realism' in a fighting game, go play any of the WWE or UFC games. I'm sure they've got enough 'realism' to satisfy all your needs.
Unless you count the 'absurdity' of introducing the Terminator character into WWE 2K16... but that's a discussion better left alone since everyone has pretty much kicked that dead horse to death.
Anyway...
As for me, I'm going to patiently wait for the eventual 'Game of the Year' edition of Tekken 7 when all these DLC characters become available with that version of the game.
Unless of course the 'Game of the Year' edition requires a 'pay-to-unlock' option, which in that case, I probably won't buy it.
Anyway, that's all I have to say about the absurdity of the gaming community's reaction to Tekken 7 and the introduction of Negan as a playable character.
Until next time...
...Goodnight America, and to all the ships out at sea.
