Why did it fail?

>>713633375 (OP)
No Krillin cuck minigame

>>713633375 (OP)
Because Tenkaichi oldfags got bodied both in story mode (Oozaru Vegeta) and online.

It has nothing to do with content and quality of the game. Everyone glazed the animations and gameplay when it came out.

>>713633375 (OP)

lol the animations in SZ are boring as heck, Legends, a mobile game completely destroys it.

>no Tao Pai Pai
Hard pass

>>713633375 (OP)
Let's be real, the novelty of Tenkaichi fell off. It was simply the first 3D arena fighter DBZ game that added a shitload of movie characters and literal whos. Nowadays, that's nothing special. The gameplay and mechanics didn't stand out.

>>713633375 (OP)
How did it fail?

>>713633375 (OP)
Lack of post-launch support

>>713633375 (OP)
>no new maps
>bad ost
>dlcs are bad
>nothing to do besides multiplayer or story
>story is lacking
>braindead AI

I liked it but I'm glad I got it on sale, the quantity and quality of content here is absolutely not commensary with the price point and that's not even factoring in DLC. There's no way this game failed.

>>713633375 (OP)
Because they keep shitiing these souless DB games every year.

>>713633375 (OP)
They neutered the fuck out of it because bamco wanted it to be competitive.

The fact that Xenoverse 2 has received more support than Sparking Zero in the same timeframe is both hilarious and depressing.

>>713638638
Is Xenoverse 2 worth playing if I found the first one extremely repetitive and boring?

>>713633375 (OP)
Because they were lazy.

>>713639074
No. It's somewhat better but still extremely repetitive, grindy and boring

>>713639074
It's basically the same game. If you didn't like XV1 you won't like XV2.

>Half assed the UI

Let me know if there is anything i missed. Honestly it's harder to pinpoint what they did right. They really screwed over the BT3fags with this one.

>>713639494
They also half assed game modes and the training mode tutorial, it doesn't explain everything you can do.

>>713639494
Music was also half assed. Especially the dlc with the anime soundtrack.

>>713639494
No planet destruction. Only Namek can be destroyed and thats lame.

>>713633375 (OP)
The game is shallow and unbalanced, by design.
Simple as.

What would Sparking Zero look like if you were in charge of making it?

>>713639494
I genuinely don’t know how they fucked tournament mode so hard, like why make it so that only low dp characters can move forward.

>>713633375 (OP)
It didn't, literally sold millions.

>>713641739
BT3 with a bigger roster.

What killed my interest in this game beyond the main story modes was the fact that the alternate paths more often than not had that retarded "Defeat enemy quickly" missions with no timer or a restart option.

>>713633375 (OP)
Too much super shit that i don't care about

>>713638638
Speaking of which, is creamapi safe to use in xenoverse 2?
Or there's another way to pirate the dlcs?

>>713642149
That's literally what it is, though, and it sucks ass.

>>713633375 (OP)
literally worse than the 20 year old shovelware it was trying to emulate

>>713633375 (OP)
It's a combination of low effort singleplayer, a broken buggy and poorly balanced online, and the playerbase being full of tryhard weirdos who can't help but abuse bugs and skill issues from the casual side of the playerbase. There's actually a lot of nice detail and attention paid to the characters and their opening interactions and such, but you rarely see most of them because of how people play the game. The devs DID definitely care about the game when making it despite what people think.

Apparently the latest patch fixed a LOT of shit on top of all the other patches that were slowly changing the game (for better and worse). Might be worth playing again. I have held back on shitting on the devs for not adding new cosmetics or maps because the base game mechanics needed fucking fixing but I think now it's on them to start delivering.

>>713638638
Xenoverse 2 received more support than most games, how the hell is it still getting DLC even now?

>>713635917
This. They went radio silent until like a week ago when literal who shallot was announced, and then barely mentioned new daipa dlc on the way(instead of true fan favorites like super 17 and merc tao)

Remember the legendary warrior face-off game mode they introduced to shut people up complaining about the lack of content and only used once?

>>713643974
there you are...the legendary warior of SPACE

>>713643974
They could have just taken a random character from the roster once a week or something just to give players something to do but they are so damn lazy that even below the bare minimum is too much to ask.

>>713639494
you forgot that they half-assed the general game mechanics too
remember that tournament where they were seething that people kept flying up and down without making the first move because it was the best way to play?

>>713635794
then name another game like it if its not so special

Why is there never any major backlash when players get scammed with low effort garbage?

>>713635917
it has received very big patches that change and balance the game heavily. one of them is recent

literally all they need to do is fix the ai

>>713633375 (OP)
No crossplay is crazy

Why bother putting Kid Goku in if you're not going to include even a single other Dragon ball character. Atleast put in Demon King Piccolo for fucks sake.

We can't have party fighters anymore because zoomers are obsessed with builds and metas

>>713633375 (OP)
they didn’t have funny picks like chichi or tarble

>>713648419
It's not really a zoomer thing it's just an online gaming thing. Back when tenkaichi 3 was around online gaming wasn't that popular yet. You had counter strike and mmos basically.

>>713648419
Every game will develop a meta. You're only mad that you want to win with low effort and can't do that anymore. That's not to excuse the garbage state of the SZ meta.

I wanted a simple dbz fighting game. When I got to the 90th tutorial about how hitting this button and back produces a third result I got bored.

>>713648952
Honestly yeah. Approaching 30 and I don't have the patience to learn combos and practice timing anymore

>>713633375 (OP)
Needed more singleplayer content with better cutscenes to compensate for the fact that playing online will never be as fun as playing with friends in the same room.
Online is just tryhards playing top meta characters as you'd expect
Only two dub tracks was a grave mistake

>>713649097
"Combos" are extremely shallow in this game, just goes to show that ever catering towards casuals in game design is a huge mistake because it's never enough fot the casualfags and it scares off 99% of your playerbase except the top tryhards who just farm even harder than if the game was properly balanced with the mechanics that scare away turbo casuals in the first place. Now you have a dead game and niggas win trading to get number 1 on the leader board among a literal handful of the most elite tryhards.

>>713648958
Are you retarded? As far as fighting games go it really couldn't be any simpler than this.

>>713633375 (OP)
Unbelievably terrible content drip is the biggest issue right now. Xenoverse 2 and even Kakarot are much better supported.

>>713649769
Xenoverse 2 is just milking it's playerbase for all it's worth with nonstop dlc scamming.

>>713649960
Yes, and for some reason they aren't taking the same approach with this game!!

It was a wonderful time because the multiplayer games we did have weren't always filled with tryhards.

>>713648952
This isn't a fucking esports series. If you want a meta, go play fighterZ. The erasure of comfy online gaming in the modern era to appease tryhards and aspie zoomers is a travesty.

BT3 fans wanted updated cell shaded graphics with the comic book outlines that look like they were drawn in pen. Instead they made BT3 for the fans who already have Xenoverse.

>>713633375 (OP)
The intro is so unremarkable compared to previous BT games... fuck super slop

>>713652314
This one also pained me. I always loved the intros besides BT2. BT2 was really bad.

>>713652065
DB fighterz kinda nailed what people wanted as far as graphics and artstyle goes.

It died because there's nothing to do besides playing ranked, and shonen niggers are fucking rancid to play against. Tekken 8 has more offline content. The fucking PSP games had more content than Sparking Zero.

>>713645591
Nobody gives a fuck about balance patches for a game like this.

Thank god we can finally speak and agree Daima was a complete waste of time with a garbage plot, sick and tired of retards defending it for being le last masterpiece of Toriyama.

>>713651340
>if you want meta
I don't think you understand what meta means. Every game will develop a meta if enough people are talking about and playing a game together. You can acknowledge it and accepts your wins and losses around it or not accept it and stay in denial. You can always just play what you want also, but we know you won't do that because at the end of the day you prioritize winning above playing what you think is fun.

>>713650590
>But dlc is not something to be celebrated. It's a blatant scam.
Xenoverse 2 launched ~1 year before DBS first aired. The only way to pay for the production of years of post-launch content is by making it paid DLC. Like, there was no fucking way the XV2 devs could have anticipated DBS Broly or the Tournament of Power when Toriyama was sending notes on tissue paper to Toei and Toyotaro. I get that horse armor is a scam, but the XV2 dlc added.
>expanded stories with new CGI cutscenes and newly recorded voice lines
>new characters
>new missions
>new moves
>new modes
>free updates that added transformations and moves
XV2 only has so much DLC because it's 10 years old. Yet the community is alive and it's supported by the devs. Sparking Zero's DLC is half-assed by comparison.

>>713633375 (OP)
Budogay Tengayichi 3 was never good to begin with

>>713654180
Tenkaichi 2, Infinite World and Budokai 3 were better.

>>713644725
The entire Naruto Storm series, all of which are much better

>>713652114
Unironically, some Latin American ROM hack team in their garage made a better version with custom Ultimates, actual BT2-stage transitions, and OG music. Meanwhile Scamco out here charging $14.99 for Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken Vegeta and calling it innovation.

The hatred for the Switch 2 is so fucking random to me. It's clearly forced, none of the threads feel organic in the least, it's just... Where did this even come from?

>>713649769
Kakarot at least have cutscenes and fun content

Not in terms of a BT3 style game with 200 characters worth of animations. Also the two games appeal to different kinds of player audiences and of course making Sparking Zero as one game to fit them all didn't work

>>713633375 (OP)
It's one of the best selling games of 2024. The real problem is Bandai being fucking retarded and not focusing on the single-player which is what most people wanted out of this game. Vegeta's story ending in Z is fucking retarded.

>>713633375 (OP)
The 3D Anime Arena Fighter curse.
It's why Nen Impact will have a longer lasting fanbase despite being from a less popular series and having a much lower budget.

Honestly, yes. I think xenoverse was the evolved version of the Tenkaichi series. A hypothetical Xenoverse 3 would've offered more than sparking xero.
But I wish new games would do away with that purple vibe and go for a gritty vibe in the tenkaichi era.

>>713645591
Honestly they should've waited a bit and released the game in January 2025.

>>713652047
It's hilarious that Fazejev of all people was able to make some entertaining sparking zero videos than these DBZ youtubers.

Honestly they could've added some city or a hub wirld with various activities and the player engagement would've increased.

surely Bandai will reuse all the high fidelity assets they created and finally make Budokai 4 right?

In BT3 the most fun I had was grinding the tournament and cell games for dragon balls and new characters. When I play the tournament of destroyers and cell games in sparking zero, I just don't give a shit and feel empty.

Why is this

>>713641739

I remember a shill calling this mode 'robust' right before release. And all of those faggots over the last summer are nowhere to be found now. There was data for the missing Tenkaichi 3 characters and even more slots after the initial DLC, but nothing came of it. They were really banking on Daima to carry the post-game too.

They were really banking on custom battles carrying the extra content but tbe way you have to set up text and search for names and phrases is so dumb it kills any drive to make something intetesting outside of random ironman challenges and cabba vs gogeta slop.

It's truly amazing how lazy and bare bones this game is.

>>713633375 (OP)
I've said it before and I'll say it again. The game is simply not designed to be competitive fighter and shouldn't be. The only way it was going to have any form of longevity is if it had a dedicated community putting out custom battles and that will never happen because they shit the bed with customs. I could go into a long list of how they dropped the ball on and the shit they refuse to fix, but I'll simply leave it at how creating dialogue is like pulling teeth.

No Moro or Granolah
