If DBZ had an actually good open world game, would you play it?

boring franchise

>>716996390 (OP)
Kakarot

>>716996390 (OP)
No.
Open world sucks. The fad is over.

>>716996390 (OP)
I would play an actually good game

open world is boring as fuck
kekarrot is a failure

I'm sick of dragon ball games.

>>716996557
I said "actually good", though

The entire appeal of DB is big, bombastic over the top battles. Bogging all of that down with boring open traversal is beyond retarded.

>>716996390 (OP)
would only work for OG DB

>>716996390 (OP)
>NINTENDO

>>716996390 (OP)
Only if it's your own story, not a retreat of DBZ with its original cast.

>>716996390 (OP)
No, Dragon Ball characters are so ugly I never watched it, and open world almost always sucks ass.

They already did this with legacy of goku/kakarot/whatever else
It sucks ass or is too easy
I already had my dream DB game with fighterz so it can die peacefully now thanks

>>716996748
>The entire appeal of DB is big, bombastic over the top battles
They can't even get those right in games though

>>716996390 (OP)
It would be shit because you would just fly all the time.
Original Dragon Ball when Goku was still a kid, however...

>>716996390 (OP)
what would there even be to gather and craft in a DBZ game?

>>716996390 (OP)
>good open world game
that's an oxymoron though

>>716996390 (OP)
Only if it had a hit coffee keking minigame.
Bejitabro btw.

>>716996859
This i who I always imagined was the target audience for CLAMP manga and also those homoerotic team sports manga.

>>716996390 (OP)
No
>>716996996
>what would there even be to gather
dragon balls

>>716997078
Never liked sports anime/manga so I never read but I did love CLAMP stuff yes.

>>716996996
>what would there even be to gather
>in a Dragon Ball game?

>alternate reality
>you create your own fighter
>start in early db era
>train your dude through various quests
>become strong enough to fight red ribbon army
>become strong enough to fight tao pai pai
>all to collect dragon balls
>ascend into super saiyan
>unlock a galactic map to find stronger fighters
>become even stronger
I'd be down for this grind. I don't mind some re-treading of the story but the way there should be somewhat original but lore friendly

>>716997132
>>716997167
This would actually be kind off funny. An open world game where you gather the dragon balls but the dragon radar that enable the story's entire plot of repeatedly gathering the dragon balls conveniently doesn't work. Then you have to gather them the hard way by following clues and doing quests

>>716996390 (OP)
Dragon Ball would be a better fit for an open world
I wish they make a cool adventure game with kid Goku in the style of Kakarot someday, but DBZ is the most popular so we'll probably never get something like that

>>716997508
Speaking of open world RPGs based on Toriyama manga, how was the Sandland game?

i too enjoy completely hypothetical questions

>>716997565
>unreal engine

>>716996647
You're a failure.

>>716996390 (OP)
Legacy of Goku 2 and 3 were good, and I played those.
Kakarot was complete shit though.

>>716997192
>just be goku but with your retarded custom skin
what is the point

>>716996390 (OP)
First I dislike open worlds. Second what's the point of an open world where the MC is extremely fast, can fly, can teleport?

>>716996390 (OP)
you'd have to design a whole planet preferably multiple and make each planet at least the size of like Witcher3 x10

>>716998483
to be goku but your goku.
we're talking about dragon ball after all.

>>716996390 (OP)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCm3TXrwT1k&ab_channel=VegitoHD
If they did an open world game similar to what's shown in the trailer i'd deffinitely play the shit out of it.

>>716997565
The game stutters a lot in the beginning because of UE, but it was enjoyable once that stopped. A bit too easy.

>>716996390 (OP)
>would you play it?
No because I don't like fighting games, specially those with bosses with several health bars.

>>716996390 (OP)
wow see that mountain? we could go there if this was real.

>>716998489
same as MS Flight simulator or space games. Just to give you sense of scale because you are so fast and can fly and characters are powerful enough to destroy planets.
the world would be mostly (intentionally) empty except for some points of interest

>>716998801
I tried playing that game, but there was a huge gamebreaking bug once you destroy the dam that didn't allow me to continue playing the game, but overall it was a rather nice game, obviously the intended public was children not grown up adults.

>>716998947
>MS Flight simulator or space games
those games are boring to play when you're only strictly flying
take off, landing and doing maneuvers is what's fun about those
like in Kakarot flying isn't really engaging, to the point they had to put collectibles in the sky to give you something to do while you're travelling the huge distances through the map since the flying around isn't the most exciting thing

literally the first fight in kakarot is too hard

>>716996739
then yes

>>716996390 (OP)
>if video game was good would you play video game
Gee I dunno... This is kind of a difficult ask, OP...

>>717000382
Retard

>>717000442
Kakarot s not a good game, not even in the slightest.

>>717000557
look at the comments it filtered millions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RLSAoH_9NQ&pp=ygUMcmFkaXR6IGZpZ2h0

>>716999623
it isn't, but that's not the point. The world doesn't have to be 1:1 or anything. Just make it so when you fly 500km/h as Goku it still takes you a few seconds to get to the next location. The world can be 'just' 100 square-kilometers big. You might even create scenes in engine where Freeze tries to nuke earth from space.

It's a big waste of money to designing huge landscapes that are made to be mostly ignored, but it's nonetheless a cool idea.

>>717000628
They were retarded too.

>>716996390 (OP)
No it's about as fun as a superman game. The only way it would be fun is if you could fly to other planets.

>>716996961
Wouldn't you just fly nimbus all the time?

>>716996390 (OP)
What would be the point?
Maybe playing as some kind of low level alien causing mayhem in a city would be fun. The DB world is fun. But if it's just to play as Goku and follow a linear story which ends up being a fighting game with a huge empty world, no thanks.

>>717001465
This

>>716997901
I'm a failure.

>>716996390 (OP)
No. Earth is the least interesting part of Dragon Ball.

>>716996510
This. Like shit is like a 35+ year old franchise they they have milked to the moon and back.

>>716996748
>he doesn't want to change the battlefield somewhere more convenient, and take 20 minutes of flying with a serious look on his face to get there
Anon, people are paying for trash like Death Stranding. What we have here is something amazing in comparison.

wait, there's also
>deploy filler episodes to get there even slower
lmao

Instant platinum. Kojimbo in shambles

>>716996390 (OP)
I played kaka rot so yeah

>>716996390 (OP)
>DBZ
In other words, the series without the exploration and Dragonball hunting?

What are the good db games?not only the fighting ones, all of em

>>717001706
Okay, hear me out: Helldivers 2, but you are conquering planets for Frieza and strategems are things like saibamen and techniques. According to the last broly movie even saiyans with big number power levels used guns and equipment a fair bit (the elite guard were gonna shpot frieza with sniper rifles. lol)

>>716998713
DBO was such wasted potential.

>>717002385
I think that's retarded. I refuse to acknowledge Super as canon.

>>717002609
Super movies are written by Tori directly so you have to stop coping

>>717002609
Raditz didn't need no rifle. He shot beams straight from his hands. Raditz was indeed an elite warrior, after all.

>>716996390 (OP)
>actually good
>open world game
that's self-contradictory

>>717000596
>listening to onions reviewers
go back.

>>716996390 (OP)
Would be great if they made a new story instead of adapting whatever already exists
Last time this happened was in the NES era I think

>>717002609
Guns are now saiyan culture.

>>716998713
Dragon Ball really needs a new cast of characters. Goku and the rest of the Dragon niggers are old as fuck now. They should take on mentor roles for a new generation.

>>716996390 (OP)
>Let's fight somewhere empty.

>>716996390 (OP)
Dragon Ball would work with open world. Only because flying isn't common and you need to escort around other people so you would be confined to certain locations for a while. But onces you no longer need to Nimbus would be your ability to fly and go anywhere.
Dragon Ball Z kinda doesn't since everyone knows how to fucking fly and there would be no reason to not just fly everywhere.

>>717003846
They had a new cast for three decades.
>But muh goku
Whatever they've done since 2015 isn't working. Daima didn't work. If they want to keep Dragon Ball alive, they need to take a few risks and expand beyond Goku and EoZ. They can only do a "THIS SERIES TAKES PLACE AFTER BUU'S DEFEAT" for so long. If you must, reimagine GT and go from there.

Goku has the same issue in games as Superman, he's too strong, and the only way they deal with that is by giving him enemies that are even more broken, which then need to be dealt with with asspulls.
I don't know how you'd build a game around that.

>>716996390 (OP)
What would you *do* in it?
Will Goku collect resources for crafting?
Dragon Ball is about 1 on 1 fights.

>>717004719
Hear me out
What if you play as Bulma?

>>717004582
Something like Prototype where you can just go around and flex your power. These kinds of games can be fun too sometimes. People for some reason have the impression that every game has to be an uphill battle to be fun. Sometimes i just want to fly around and destroy buildings and throw people into space.

>>716996390 (OP)
>If game was good
Yes

>>716996390 (OP)
A game about a saiyan child being sent to another planet and slowly taking it over as you grow up would be pretty cool. And then once you're and adult you can get sent to harder planets untill Frieza rounds up all the monkeys and you go into hiding because you find it suspicious. And from that point on the whole dynamic of the game would change.

>>716996390 (OP)
But we already had those on the GBA.

>>716997192
this was literally Dragon Ball Online

>>717005505
DBO should get a remake.

>>717005376
Legacy of goku 1 was trash but the other two ones were kino.

>>717003050
even if it was good, the nonsensical controls ruin it

>>716996390 (OP)
open world dbz makes no sense
open world gt (in space) could be fun
open world db (pre-z) would be kino

>>716996390 (OP)
how good is the kakarot game? its on fitgirl

>OP says good open world
>People keep bringing up Kakarot
>It's not even an actual open world game, it's a bunch of tiny maps you warp between
>All your actions and abilities are unusable unless you get into combat
>Combat is just shitty always locked on arenas
>The game itself swaps rapidly between wanting you to grind for stuff and actually grinding for anything making you way too powerful
>Almost all your moves and abilities have the same function with a different color scheme
>They don't take advantage of any of the canonical content that would actually fit very well in an open world

>>717008715
Honestly all they'd have to do is make a xenoverse style setting with a proper open world to make it work very well
Because then you could go wherever the fuck you want and it doesn't matter if you go against canon

Not DBZ, DB.
Dragon ball is a genuine adventure, DBZ is something weird where there's these sagas and suddenly they have to go to fucking space and then they have to fight random fucking androids on earth and time travel and fucking bullshit all around. DBZ was much more grounded up, just a kid beating a whole fucking army.

What happened?
Dragon Ball was one of the greatest and most influential franchises out there before, and now it's been almost completely killed and forgotten about.

>>717012174
Shueisha wants One Piece to be the Namco Bandai Franchise juggernaut since they get more out of licensing through them. Akira Toriyama dying was their opportunity to start a giant legal battle and screw Dragon Ball over.

>>717012174
Dragon Ball was the only good show. Z was complete garbage

>>716996390 (OP)
I don't think I'm the target market for DB any more so no

>>717012174
Daima killed it.

Dragon Ball should be a game where you play as young Goku, then up until Raditz. And then you have Tree of Life and Dead Zone as end game missions.

>>717003050
>reviewers
I played it. It wasn't reviewers who put in the game:
>no enemy variety
Saibaman (in 3 flavours), pirate bot/RR bot (recolours of each other), Frieza henchman/Babidi henchman (recolours of each other) is your enemy catalogue
>zero side quest variety
Thought you could fight Taopaipai as Gohan? lmao here come pirate bots. Repeat 50 more times through the entire game and different interesting setups with always the same payoff.
>zero thought put into enemy behaviour
"lol I'm invincible now even during hitstun and now I'm charging my own attack which you can't interrupt at all whatsoever." Repeat every 5 seconds.
>cutting major scenes like Final Flash, reducing everything that happens inside Buu to a couple text boxes, etc
How the fuck do you defend that.
>kept in Toei fuckups for "anime accuracy", like Dende de-aging back into a child during the ending because they misinterpreted Toriyama's artstyle
A sick joke. Defecating through the sunroof on Toriyama's coffin.

>>717012438
Saiyan and Namek were great

>>717012174
You being a doomposting tranny is what happened.

>>717013158
Vegeta is actually a non character despite how much everybody wants him not to be. Apparently they created Cell because the androids were so unpopular?

>>716996390 (OP)
It could work as a turn-based game that played similarly to Expedition 33. Making builds that were akin to the Z-Fighters techniques and speccing into certain attack types (Blast, Strike, Basic attack/combo attack) would be really fun to play the entire Z-story or whatever fanfic story they come up with would be really fun

>>717013420
>red ribbon guy somehow creates fighters who are way stronger than Frieza in a lab on Earth
androids were always stupid, only redeemed by 18 being hot

>>716996390 (OP)
I can see a Dragonball open world rpg being fun. Dragonball Z is better as a arena fighter.

>>717013420
Cell was created because Toriyama's former editor wasn't impressed with the idea of the main antagonists after Frieza being an old man and a fat clown, or two teenage punks.

Z should have ended with frieza.
sure the cell arc had moments, but the arc as a whole was a mess, and buu was even worse.

>>717014525
>DBZ scientists are far beyond real life ones
>Gero has been perfecting his craft since DB
>Gero would have data on Vegeta, Frieza, King Cold, and Super Saiyans, so he knows how strong he needs his Androids to be
It's not a stretch at all.

>>717015013
The race to find the "perfected" Super Saiyan form and the final conclusion to Gohan's rage boosts was kino tho

>>717015210

>>717013221
>doomposting
He's right, Daima flopped, Divers didn't last a year before it shut down (Heroes was killed for it), Super (Manga) has been on hiatus for over a year, Super (Anime) is pretty much done, Sparking Zero is stillborn, the rights are still in a legal mess, Dragon Ball is in a very bad spot right now.

>Frieza and all his soldiers had to rely completely on their scouters to find the Dragon Balls on Namek
>meanwhile 16 year old Bulma created a working radar for it all the way back in the first arc of Dragon Ball
There's just something about Earth technology, I guess.

>>717015445
Early 2000s Dragon Ball was in a bad spot, what with GT being shit and the franchise at that point only being relevant because of the video games. Is it that bad now?

>>717015514
Dragon Ball
>Magical adventure
Dragon Ball Z
>Constant tournament arcs

you're asking me if I would play a good game?
No, definitely not

>Z
lol

I know the world and story of Dragon Ball so completely at this point that it qualifies as scholarly. If there is nothing NEW, no innovation or change from the same story we've experienced in almost every... single game, then what's the point? Terrible, dog shit franchise that keeps remaking the same few games a la Nintendo and Pokemon.

>>717015514
Why do this? There's genuine shit to hate about DBZ without bait. Power wank, repeat villains, poor narrative structure, repeat villains...

>>717015647
>Early 2000s Dragon Ball was in a bad spot
Dragon Ball concluded for years at this point. There was no bad spot when it was already finished. GT came in during a gradual fatigue that started with Buu.
>the franchise at that point only being relevant because of the video games
Which were still coming in on the coattails of Buu and GT. Otherwise, Dragon Ball concluded. There was nothing more to do beyond that point. The 2000's games were from the resurgence of popularity from the west, so it wasn't bad when Dragon Ball was gaining a new audience.

Super has not concluded in a decade of its existence. There's still a cliffhanger with Black Freeza and whatnot and there hasn't been an official confirmation of its conclusion. GT, Z and DB, all three animated adaptions concluded, the manga concluded. Super (Manga) did not conclude. Super will have step on the toes of EoZ to continue with the way it's going or, retcon EoZ completely and that's really dangerous; doing that will invalidate the investment made with Super.

Daima in a way did that too. Instead of continuing with Super, they made a whole other series without any of Super's elements. You're better off with a constant stream of video games based off the completed source material than to be led on like you are now with Super. The fans who want to see Moro, Granolah and Black Freeza in the games or even animated have every right to be mad.

>>716996390 (OP)
Only if GT Pan is there and I can romance her.

>>716996390 (OP)
Only if I could play as someone other than Goku. The best characters in DB are all the weirdos. Let me play as Giran.

>>717015647
>Is it that bad now?
With the creator dead and the series frozen over a rights dispute, it’s infinitely worse.

>>716996864
dbfz got it right

>>716996510
>>717001746
It's boring because it's always just a fighter with slightly bigger explosions.

Give us a few hundred square kilometers of playing area and the ability to throw kilo/megatons of explosive power around and it will be fun.

>>717012174
Toei. Allowing them to not only keep their rights after GT, but also allowing them to call any original slop they made as "written by Toriyama" was a massive mistake.
The fact that they weren't forced to adapt the manga after the disaster 99% of the Super anime was is completely absurd. By the time Nuly started production Toyo still hadn't shown his full power level so its understandable, but Super Hero/Daima should have never existed at all.

>>717018557
Super Hero was fine,
it just sucked how it was packed in to one movie and the powerups / vllain felt extremely cheap and forced
>cell max
why? just make the 2 "justice" androids fuse or something, or even better, revive Cell and upgrade him

>Beast Gohan
Literal fanfic tier, and came completely out of nowhere

>Orange Piccolo
Cool concept, idiotic name, even dumber how it wa sourced (Like seriously, can't a namekian just.. I dunno, merge with their dragon, or unlock some ultra spirit power, seeing as they're pretty attuned to that stuff)

>>716996390 (OP)
no
dbz doesn't work as a videogame
I'd like to see original stories in that world

>>717017539
DBZF is probably the best dragon ball game to come out in the last decade. It got everything right from movesets to artstyle. Even it's limited character roster worked well somehow.

>>716996748
No it's fighting a big villain, which implies fleeing sometimes, or chasing. This is where the open world can serve its purpose.

>>717019267
>>Orange Piccolo
>Cool concept, idiotic name, even dumber how it wa sourced (Like seriously, can't a namekian just.. I dunno, merge with their dragon, or unlock some ultra spirit power, seeing as they're pretty attuned to that stuff)
Also its design was utter dogshit. I hate how it got rid of the lines on Piccolo's arm for no reason other than to make more toys and merchandise. And his piss-green form looks even worse.

>>717020182
>DBZF is probably the best dragon ball game to come out in the last decade.
More like the best DB of all time.

>>717015514
>Dragon Ball Z
>have you heard of the super secret divine water?
But that happened in Dragon Ball, twice. The first one was a fake out, since the training to get the water was what made Goku stronger, but the second time he powered up by drinking the divine water before fighting Piccolo Sr.
>inb4: "it's called Dragon Ball from beginning to end in the manga.
I know.

>>716996510
>>717001746
40 years and still no actual DBZ game that translates all the cool parts of the world and story. Fuck these fighters that's not what DBZ needs, it needs a true 3D adventure game with all the mechanics appropriately implemented unlike Kakarot.

>>717019453
Namekian ant farm simulator.
You control Guru and make eggs and spread your dominion over a landscape. Expand, settle, develop, defend.

>>716996780
It could absolutely work with DBZ if they used something like No Man's Sky as inspiration.

Enjoy Kakarot and Sparking! Zero, because we won't get a new game for at least 10 years if the issues with the series' rights aren't resolved.

>>717011653
there are points in Z where you can fit adventure in. particularly, the year when Gohan was training with Piccolo in preparation for the Saiyans' arrival, and the seven years between Cell and Buu.

>>717013074
5 seconds? Try 2 i swear the ai is fucking broken, kakarot is worse than sagas if we dont include cutscenes

>>717011653
> time travel
This is my OC. He's Vegeta and Bulma's son. He's the second person to transform into SS in the series after the main character. He beats Freza AND his dad without breaking a sweat. He has a super-duper sword and comes from the future! Did I mention that Gohan is his teacher?

>>716996390 (OP)
There would have to be an actually good open world game as a starter, nevermind dragonball

>>716996390 (OP)
Yes, absolutely. That is what I hoped Kakarot would be. I loved in Tenkaichi 3 being able to fly around the world. I'd like it if they had a semi-original story with similar story beats but with new characters, and having to start as a martial artist and eventually learn ki control, flying, kamehameha, etc. Basically I want to have a KOTOR-styled rendition of the DBZ story where it has the same spirit but is a new story.

>>716996390 (OP)
>would you play a good game
Yeah?

>>717021091
Right dragon ball starts to nose dive in quality towards the end. The entire explanation for dragon balls and piccolo was an ass pull. While Goku trains to get the sparkling water it was a dually the training he was after. This is some actual Asian philosophy. But at the end he needs a cheap power up and gets the "real" stuff. This is repeated for every arc in dbz with other random power ups he didn't work for

>>716996390 (OP)
No, they overdid DBZ like 20 years ago. I would love an open world DB game though

>>716996390 (OP)
>Z

Well there's your first problem

>>716996748
You started halfway through the series, did you?

>>716996390 (OP)
DBZ doesn't work as an open world game for the same reason Superman doesn't - when you can fly anywhere in the world in a matter of minutes it feels irritating to be constrained to a map that's a few square kilometers at most.

Games like GTA or most of the Batman and Spiderman games work because you're confining yourself to a single city (often scaled down) and never have any real reason to venture beyond it.

DBZ could just pull the old "no, let's not fight here where bystanders could be hurt, let's go to empty grass field #328", but then there's not really any point in the game being open world in the first place.

>>716996390 (OP)
Maybe? I just can't imagine how they would actually make it good. I mean, when would you actually ever get into combat in an open world? Dragon ball has been mostly a "boss rush" from Z, heck even late DB. I can't imagine mooks running around and getting 1-hit would be that fun.

>>716997078
most people who watch clamp are mexican girls who ALSO watched dragon ball

>>716996390 (OP)
ESF best DBZ game fuck ALL other games

>>716996390 (OP)
ANOTHER ONE? DBZ Fans are so fucking greedy, kakarot is as good as you'll possibly get. Other franchises fans would kill to get games of that quality and scale.

>>717031014
>quality and scale

An open world DB game would be fun if it took place like 20 years before Goku existed.

>>717034009
Punching goofy looking dinosaurs and apes would be kino

How would you even achieve an open world DBZ game?
like a third of the characters can fly faster than a jet and can kick the shit out of anything that isn't a planet-destroying threat.
DBZ just doesn't lend itself to a game that isn't "experience this setpiece fight"

>>717034154
Human (furry) only. No weapon. Final destination.

>>716996390 (OP)
What the fuck would be the point of an open world Dragon Ball game? Dragon Ball has no locations. It has no interesting environments. Once Goku becomes an adult, the entire series takes place in empty plains. It sort of has to since everyone flies at light speed and can blow up the moon.

The only DBZ open world I would accept is a Dragon Quest 2 style jrpg where you search for the 7 dragon balls across the open world.

>>717033141
>implying that line isn't golden

>>717034154
>>717036257
These guys just want to create their own special snowflake human or saiyan and go around wooing over the female characters with their various quests or whatnot. They literally had Heroes and Xenoverse for their CaC bullshit.

>>717039353
>human male dumped onto a planet of lusty lonely saiyan females
who would want that? sounds totally awful, hahah...

What about an Android 21 game?

I would try it, but don't most of the DBZ characters fly? Seems kinda lame in an open world setting. Basically noclipping anywhere you want to go.

would be good if the combat wasn't fucked, even less depth than the typical anime arena fighters like Ultimate Ninja Storm

No I'm a white person.

Because you ONLY watched DBZ. OG, GT, and Daima had adventures with actual locales. If we had a Dragon Ball game that let us explore the entire DB multiverse (all 12 universes and 5 timelines), then that'd be peak.

Super killed it and Daipa put the final nail in the coffin

Yes but it features Futa characters... Including herself.

>Dragon Ball has no locations.
cmon, Namek saga was full of moving to different locations. there's Kame's house, the cities, etc. Kaio's planet.
It could be a big world, but you can go FTL to Kame's house anyway so no biggies. Or you move to a plain just to fight the big bad. Or there's dinosaurs around like in filler. It would be pointless because no sidequests, unless you make saiyaman/krillin cop fillers, but I can imagine it working as a fangame.

No. I've been seeing dragonball z almost every day for the past 30 years of my life.
I'm sick of dragonball.
I'm sick of seeing this shit I thought was mediocre in my youth obsessed and worshipped like some islamic texts.
I'm sick of you faggots refusing to move on to anything else.
kill yourselves.

It would have to be dragon ball because about 5 minutes into Z all of the characters become a planetary threat, you can just fly across the entire map in .5 seconds, and whatever enemies populate the barren landscape wouldn't matter. Dragon Ball Z doesn't really lend itself well to games that aren't fighting games.

Don't Click it!

Series should've ended with Frieza's death, it was the perfect climax of Goku's growth as a character. Power scaling bullshit took off like crazy, Super Saiyan stopped mattering when everyone and their mother is going SS fucking 3000 constantly and the further superpowers made traveling the world pointless and turned every fight into two teleporting wizards throwing lazer beams at each other.

>>716996390 (OP)
DBZ doesn't need an open world, its not a series about characters exploring the world
exploring the world isn't really part of the power fantasy of being a DBZ character since they fly and literally teleport

even in DB it is more of an adventure but locations are more checkpoints for characters to fight a succession of enemies like the tournament venues and even muscle tower

what i'm saying is its not like Goku has his own leaf village where the location itself is a character in its own and there are long histories of peoples and cultures to explore

>>717012174
It just went on too long, you can only carry a story so far.

I don't remember anything in the game being hard. I loved it though.

>>716996390 (OP)
No because somehow Bandai would find a way to make it another complete retread of Z and maybe Super. I'd rather have a CAC kind of game where you just run around on your own adventure with its own unique story that wasn't just an excuse to retread Z and Super fights again.

How would DBZ open world work you retard? They can literally instant transmission across the galaxy? Do you even think?
