Tekken 6: Play & Help Thread

siblades · 28-10-2009, 11:56 AM

Ok so I got this game this morning so thought I would make this thread.

Dissapointing that all the characters are already unlocked in Arcade Mode...there seems no point in playing it as there is no goal to achieve.

However, the Scenario Campaign has an area called the Arena, which is basically just like Arcade mode, but much much shorter. This is where you go to unlock characters, ending movies, etc.

The loading times are rediculous, even after installing the game to the HDD

EDIT: The last boss is just FAR too hard, even on easy....I think I might be rubbish!

Yeah surpised all characters Are unlocked in arcade, although I use devil jin or law

Not as good as I was hoping.....an HD remake of Tekken 2 or 3 would have been better I reckon.

Is the online better than Tekken 5 HD?

I'm happy that you don't have to play to unlock characters, I find that a bit tedious myself. Rushing yourself, grinding even, arcade mode until you have all the characters.

What I wouldn't mind is unlocking items or videos. Something that wouldn't hinder two player or on-line play if you chose not to spend countless hours in arcade mode.

Apparently mine was delivered today, although it wasn't

Checked the Royal Mail website, apparently it was signed for. By what looks like a 2 year old. Signature is a mess, not exactly sure whats happened!

The Scenario Campaign in this game is awful. Clunky controls. Rubbish camera angles. Very repetative. Terrible cut scenes and the AI is crap. Considering that this is the main part of the game then I am very dissapointed. Tekken has always been about one on one fighting, not side scrolling garbage like this.
If only arcade mode didn't have all the characters unlocked from the start then I could play that instead. Not worth the £30 in my opinion....when you compare this to Tekken 2, 3 or Tag (which were absolutely awesome) there is just no competition

The campaign is not the main part of the game and is just an addition. Tekken is and always has been a one on one fighting game which is the main game. As far as all the characters being unlocked sorry but i can't agree with you. I gave up on both Soul Caliber 4 and Street Fighter 4 especially the latter with Seth being such a cheap character.

I have neither the time nor the desire to deal with the frustration of unlocking characters. What I want is a pick up and play fighting game and that is what Tekken 6 is with all the characters unlocked. If they weren't all unlocked I would definitely have not bought the game.

Personally I certainly think it's worth £30.

How did you know they were unlocked Moogle?

How does this compare to the great Tekken 3?

I think I read on one of the game sites that they were all unlocked. I can't remember which one but it may have been IGN. It might have been one of the IGN podcasts possibly.

To be honest I don't remember Tekken 3 as it's been so long since I played it and I've only played number 6 briefly but so far I like it and certainly prefer it to number 4 or 5.

PygoShlee · 30-10-2009, 12:11 AM

Been playing it for a while, on the campaign mode which could have been better but it is all about the fighting really!

Sorry but that is just not the case. The Scenario Campaign IS the main part of the game, it is very obvious that it is....especially seeing as though it is at the top of the menu. And it is the only mode where you can unlock characters for it.
The Arcade Mode SHOULD be the main part of the game (as it was with all the previous titles), but in this case it isn't. All the characters are already unlocked so there is NOTHING to work for.

IMO regardless of whether the characters are unlocked or not at the end of the day Tekken has always been a fighting game and this one is no different. The one on one fighting is the main game with the campaign being an addition. The fact that it's at the top of the menu is neither here nor there. Like I said I'm glad all the characters are unlicked as I neither have the time or the want to deal with the frustration of going through the fighting mode again and again to unlock more characters. All fighting games should be that way.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree.

I also agree with Moogle, I don't believe you should have to unlock many characters in Tekken.

For me 'vs' mode is the main part of the game

and I don't want to spend hours playing arcade mode before the girlfriend and I can play together.

In EVERY Tekken game apart from this one, the fun for me was playing through Acracde mode with each character to get their ending videos and to unlock the next character. I don't understand this "I can't be bothered" attitude, that is what Tekken has always been about in my opinion....that is until this game came along. If you don't want to go through Arcade mode again and again, what do you actually want to do on the game? Surely not play the Campaign mode.....come on, you have to agree with me that it is totally awful!

It does look like we are going to have to agree to disagree here mate, but it is a fact that Tekken 6 has moved away from the previous titles, and where as you say it is for better, I have to say it is for worse.

Beck_ · 30-10-2009, 11:23 AM

For me this game like SF4 etc would be all about the online matches.. I dont have it but can anyone comment on the lag/online modes etc?

I've only played a few online matches. 90% of the time it found an opponent straight away, and there was no lag whatsoever.

There were a few instances where it would just hang on searching for an opponent, but I just put this down to the fact that the game hadn't actually been officially released yet so not many people were online.

In Tekken 5 DR only the boss character was locked, Tekken 6 is not dissimilar.

I have no intention of playing arcade mode again and again, if I'm playing on my own I much prefer ghost battle or survival, else it will be vs with the missus.

Forcing you to play a mode over and over, turns a game into a chore and I'm glad that Namco haven't done this.

I will reserve my opinion about campaign mode until I try it.

This sounds interesting, so it's not the old 'room' thing with tekken 5 dr? Which was a bit of a pain when the host kicked you after waiting through a few matches to get a game.

If it just matches up two people, I think it'll be an improvement over T5DR for me.

I reckon this game is an easy platinum!

Apart from winning against that stupid robot

Haha yeah, I have not been able to beat it yet. What do you get if you do manage to beat it?

Satsui_Ryu · 30-10-2009, 10:45 PM

After my initial disappointment, I've warmed to the gameplay. It's a completely solid fighting game, but it's the same solid fighting game that was on the PS2. I expected more from four years of development. However, I can get over that, because truth be told they didn't really need to change anything drastically. The Tekken formula works the way that it is.

Um... A Silver Trophy

I'm 35% through the trophies now, gotta complete campaign (which is all the secret ones) and 30 online fights, complete the gallery, and the robot.

How do bits unlock in the gallery? Do I have to go through the game with everyone?

I THINK you just have to complete the "arena" with each character in Scenario Campaign to unlock their endings in the gallery.

I'm pretty sure changing the character for the main side scrolling bit of Scenario Campaign doesn't make a difference to the story, it just replaces Lars' skin. So if you choose for example Hwoarang, then you play as him, but in the cut scenes it turns back to Lars and so it doesn't fit in with the story at all which is pretty poor in my opinion.

It's also really annoying how the characters speak to each other in different languages....it's really silly.
