Tekken Fans Start Requesting a Tekken Tag Tournament 2 PC Port - And That's a Good Thing

 

The Tekken franchise has been dominating the world of fighting games for 28 years and counting, and there have been 7 mainline games with 3 proper spin-offs thus far. Of course, that's excluding all the unique editions, handheld ports, and side projects that we have seen on a large variety of platforms over time, such as Death by Degrees and Tekken Card on smartphones.

However, as surprising as it may be, despite the fact that the PC is such a major gaming platform as of today - we have only had one official Tekken release to date. That is Tekken 7, which is the most recent game in the series so far.

Normally, that might not be the most surprising thing since the latest fighting game installment is often a replacement for everything before it - if fans accept the game. And with Tekken 7's success, it can be said that the game has satisfied most fans. 

But in the case of Tekken Tag Tournament 2, things are a bit different. That is because the Tag series is a spin-off of the main Tekken games and features a unique battle system in which each character selects two fighters each from the large roster. Not only that, but these games contain every single character from the series that have been added to the franchise up to the time of release.

And it's not just the tag aspect that's different, Tag 2 has no Rage Arts (which some prefer) and the gameplay mechanics are quite different in general. The game has lengthier combos and there are many unique things that you can do with your tag partner, which adds a whole new layer of things that you can do. 

Not only that, but even smaller details like how characters interact with each other (neutral, friends, rivals) is a lot of fun to see. And other things like legacy stages, having dirt stick to your body, and so on - it's just a very fun game that is filled with an insane amount of fun and feels like a love-letter to longtime fans of the series.

Naturally, fans have been hoping for a PC port of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 for ages and assumed it might get released as part of a random collection at some point. But with remasters becoming so common and fighting games doing better than they were a bit earlier, it feels like the perfect time for fans to ask for Tekken Tag 2 on PC while they patiently wait for the titular release of Tekken 8 soon.

After all, it's only the second-last game in the series right now and is wildly different to Tekken 8 - so it's the perfect game to port over right now. Sure, you can emulate it on PC, but as the official subreddit for this movement stated, it's not as perfect as an actual port with proper netcode.

The people behind this movement raise very good points and it's just a no-brainer for Namco to invest in a good port of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 on PC with stable netplay. And of course, if they have the resources, bringing the game to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S would be a great idea too. 

Tag 2 is one of the few games in the series that are still stuck on the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U era of consoles and it's about time we bring it back to life, especially since it's such an underrated game that deserved to sell more.

You can visit the official subreddit for this by clicking 'here', and the Twitter account 'here'. 

The numbers of the movement at the moment are low, but it's just a matter of exposure as thousands do want the re-release but no one has tried to gather those fans in one place before. With time, it will undoubtedly spread. With all of that said, we sincerely hope this port does happen because I would love for that game to exit the 7th generation curse. #Tag2forPC

McDonalds Has Shut Down Their Employee Site After Another Ridiculed Tip

McDonalds has finally shut down their site for their employees. It was infamous for offering tips which were rediculed by almost...everyone. Most recently, they told their staff that McDonalds' food is the "unhealthy choice". I kid you not. As you can see in the picture above, they called their own food unhealthy and told you to eat "healthier choices" such as "sandwiches that can be loaded with vegetables". McDonalds has released a statement regarding the site shut down:

We have offered the McResource program to help our valued McDonald’s employees with work and life guidance created by independent third party experts. A combination of factors has led us to re-evaluate, and we’ve directed the vendor to take down the website. Between links to irrelevant or outdated information, along with outside groups taking elements out of context, this created unwarranted scrutiny and inappropriate commentary. None of this helps our McDonald’s team members. We’ll continue to provide service to our folks through an internal telephone help line, which is how the majority of employees access the McResource services.
