Thread 725571115

It's been a year since this came out
Was this the biggest disappointment in the franchise concerning video games?

>>725571115 (OP)
For the Dragon Ball franchise, maybe. But at least it’s playable. When it comes to Jump games, Hunter x Hunter Nen Impact and Bleach Rebirth of Souls were both far more disappointing.

>Look, its tenkaichi 4!
>.....bbbbbbbbut
>it's going to do just about everything worse than bt3 and also do dlc fighter sloppa :)
It felt more like raging blast 3, really.

No taopaipai no buybuy

>it's Budokai Tenkaichi 4!
>....on Unreal Engine 5 (Strike 1)
>....always we're removing BT3 characters and replacing them with Super characters (Strike 2)
>.....oh and this game took 5 years to develop (HUGE red flag, Strike 3)
Don't even get me started on how it took them a year and like 3 DLC packs to add ONE new map

PAN...zy!

Don't forget the shills constantly damage controlling the game up to release.
>Dropped the ball on the roster
>Removed a lot of tech and freedom in how you want to fight
>What-if scenarios are barebones
>Create-a-scenario or whatever it was called was shit, and a shill tried to call it robust
>Gaps between updates and pack releases slowed down the game's momentum
>Tried to make a competitive game out of a game that was never really competitive
>Going back to the point about updates, instead of doing small updates inbetween packs, mainly bringing back the missing characters who were in the game's data, they were banking on Super Hero and especially Daima to carry interest long-term. Daima underperforming pretty much froze everything, more updates are probably not happening, let alone a sequel
>At least pre-release, no couch co-op was a big damper, no idea if they fixed that, the shills were also boasting about not having a life or friends to defend it
It was a shitshow from the start. Even funnier was one faggot saying Garlic Jr. wasn't gonna make it in and almost every movie character from BT3 got in anyway. Never shill a game for free.

>>725571115 (OP)
i stopped caring about it when the roster included so much Super shit. i wasn't surprised, just disappointed.

>>725571115 (OP)
I'm undefeated in this game :)

is the Kakarot game any good?

>>725571318
who had high expectations for nen impact? everything that game was going to be like was obvious from the moment it was revealed.

>>725573669
i didn't care for it at all. just recycled Xenoverse's game mechanics in a bloated 'open world' where every enemy, even the most easy to beat mook, is a huge health sponge meaning you're fighting really easy enemies for minutes at a time. it was very clearly rushed.

>>725572484
As soon as I saw that ugly fucking character ui they used I knew it was over
And people tried saying "i-it'll be changed that's just the beta"

>>725573669
I tried it out for like 2 hours. I had some fun, flying around the world as Goku and Piccolo and doing some side quests.
Emulate the switch version bro

>>725574092
Everything in this game is soulless. The music is extremely generic (yeah i know, tenkaichi music was already below yamamoto budokais but still)

The worst is that the punch have no impact and all the "2D visual cluster" trend is hideous (iirc Storm 4 had a similar thing, compared to the older entires)

>>725574152
why the switch version is it better? i was going to pirate the PC one

>>725574343
Oh if you can pirate PC go ahead. Doesn't really matter

>Play Vegeta's story mode looking forward to the what ifs for him
>"Oh man, what if he has to go SSG instead of Goku and is able to kill Beerus? What if he is the one who Zamasu steals a body from in the future? Or what if-"
>Only goes from Saiyan to Buu

>>725571115 (OP)
>online is no fun allowed because you either balance every character to be the same, removing the unique thing about the game, or everyone is running the same op fighters
>singleplayer is no fun allowed because the cpu insta counters if you dare press the attack button more than twice, making the best play to just overcharge and spam them to death
it's flawed at its core. Scrap it and start over for sparking one

>>725574868
because no one actually cares about Super, the story is shit, the forms/characters are just shoved into everything for marketing reasons.

>>725575127
Anon I get you hate everything in but to say "no one cares about Super" is the dumbest statement I've heard from a Dragon Ball fan up here
And I fucking hate Super

>>725575115
>Sparking One
Someone's optimistic.

>>725571115 (OP)
They killed it by having the only DLC be Daima babies

>>725575245
yeah dude Super is so important that's why the new game was chock full of content about Super and not the parts of the series people actually care about (DBZ) >>725574868

lmao

>>725571115 (OP)
>DLC 3 was just four characters and a map

>>725572453
TRACEma

>>725575810
Yes?
>Majority of most people's stories take place in Super arcs, Vegeta being the weird exception
>Jiren, Goku Black, taking up story slots
>Half the roster is Super characters
Like what even is this retarded argument? Did you even play the game? Did you even look at the box art? Are you just being stupid for the sake of it?

>>725571115 (OP)
>nothing personnel: the game
It was designed by a retard.

>>725571115 (OP)
>Make stories for fun
>never touch online multiplayer. Just make custom saga things
>post one that took me 30 hours
>next day I find I am perma banned from ever using the custom saga feature
>no reason given
>unappealable
So in short, yes, it was.

>>725575635
So it's the same fate as the Figuarts line.

>>725571470
Even Toriyama forgot this guy

>>725577259
Toriyama forgot a lot of shit.

>>725571115 (OP)
The base game is nice, but the updates/DLC have been a royal disaster. We have to wait until January to see if there's any hope left for the game, hopefully all the stalling will lead to something meaningful.

I'm not going to get into the Daima Problem because that one isn't the fault of the devs. You were suffering through Daima DLC this year no matter what.

>>725577105
>ERM I got banned for totally no reason at all guys weird huh
Why do you guys think anyone ever falls for this

>>725571115 (OP)
It pandered to the E-Sports demographic. Big mistake. This game did NOT need a ranked mode. A simple online vs mode and maybe a local 16 man budokai tournament mode sure, but the BT series was not designed for competitive play. Like I didn't give a shit that Yajirobe of all people was broken on release because of his absurd Senzu bean heals. That shit was funny and if there was no competitive shit involved, people would just be laughing and having a fun time fighting "Boss" Yajirobe in what is clearly meant to have always been a non serious party game. Priority should have been the single player experience with the story mode with more playable characters in that mode, loads more what if scenarios, some fun what if characters and all that jazz.

>>725576323
i'm sorry that you're like 15 and didn't get to grow up during the golden age of the series but no need to take it out on me pedro

>>725575810
Huh? A fuck ton of the game is super. Are you a retard?

it was somewhat disappointing but i think it's overstated. they really should have just made another one of these and built off of this. put in new story mode, fixed up the gameplay, brought in all DLC characters, added in missing modes, fixed up AI. I preferred the old model. The DLC/patching is shit because they don't have to sell the whole game again. Like consider BT3, it's more than just DLC characters. They redid the story, added new modes, and had to figure out something to get people to buy the next one (Great Apes). I liked that way more than just them adding in new characters every six months

>>725577758
Even without ranked, sweats would've infested the game anyways, they literally can't help themselves if a game has PVP and an online component.

>>725571115 (OP)
It is. They scammed everyone by using the legacy of tenkaichi. I swear the gaming industry has no credibility or integrity anymore.

>>725573669
It is a cozy game but the combat is ass. And the aura when you charge is always blue even when you're a super saiyan and this ruffles my jimmies something fierce.

>>725571115 (OP)
this game was extremely good out of the oven, the biggest flaw was the active refusal to actually support it afterwards. Barely ANY dlc outside of a handful. Fucking FIGHTERZ made a comeback before this game did anything outside of adding beast gohan and daima characters.

I want to play Legends so bad I'm getting the itch again but holy fuck I remember spending $500-1k a month on it and I got shafed off Ultra Beast Gohan and that made me so fucking butthurt I couldn't look at anything dragon ball for a while. The game is actually pretty fun if you have a meta team though...

>>725578657
Oh you're just trolling, got it

>>725581197
>Spent A THOUSAND DOLLARS on a mobile game to get units that will be irrelevant in a few weeks-months after their release
Anon you honest to God have a gambling problem and need to get that shit looked at. I'm not even kidding bro, that's dangerous.

>>725581504
hence why I quit. luckily it's the ONLY gacha where I went full on it.
dude it's fucking hilarious because my teams weren't even that whale territory due to how fucking bullshit the pity system is (lol what pity)

>>725571115 (OP)
>Was this the biggest disappointment in the franchise concerning video games?
The biggest one since XV2 not letting you make CaC with ANY part of existing characters and still not letting you wear certain attires like wifebeater Future Trunks' anyway.

>>725571115 (OP)
>daipa shit is the first thing that comes as dlc now no matter the db game
I'm so tired, Hitler

>>725582196
It's the dragon ball game that gets the most attention out of all of them but somehow never the attention it needs.

>>725571115 (OP)
I still play it regularly, mostly modded of-course (HP, characters, new stages etc.), but still play the multiplayer and a lot of this game's flaws spur from how it's fundamentally designed imo. As a Dragon Ball Z fight sim, it still mogs the fuck out of RB, Xenoverses 1 & 2, and without DLC mogged base Xenoverse 2 and some its DLCs with the What ifs i.e. Gohan Black, Father/son final flash (underwhelming), Black never fusing with Zamasu etc.

But it just fails with so many other aspects, some subjective on my part but some undeniable:
>Majority models all trying to replicate Shintani's softer style from Broly, making everyone in the game with few exceptions skinny weird chinlets - Z Broly looks off
>The incredibly muted sfx & design and some case even altered, making the attack sound effects very underwhelming, this even passes on to the addition of the original SM sfx
>The damage being fucking ridiculous and fights ending way too quickly on release, for both MP and SP - sort of resolved for single battles but game should really start all chars with 4 stock if anything, means players can get more transformations off - speaking of which, transformations are super rare in CPU battles now, need a mod for that shit too atp
>Virtually no returning single player time-sink modes from previous sparking games with the exception of tournament mode
>The create a scenario mode was very lacking and even had mode exclusive character items that would have been nice to have in the base battle mode so you could freely set up long battles without mods
>Post launch support being fucking wank + DLCs themselves being underwhelming
>base game having an unironic fortnite customisation UI and yet having no customisation
>Animations in the game also look incredibly amatuerish, SSJ Goku (Mid) immediately springs to mind with his intro and his stance, looked fine in RB
>Music forgettable

Game just fails on so many fronts that even Raging Blast did better on, tho SZ is better.

>>725580885
>DLC 1 had only characters that could have been in at launch (5 of them since they're mostly Gohan and Piccolo). No new levels (not even the RR base stage), no new story modes, no new outfits, no new modes, nothing at all
>DLC 2 had only Daima characters that weren't even dubbed. No new levels (not even a demon realm stage), no new story modes, no new outfits, no new modes, nothing at all
>DLC 3 had only Daima characters, and still missed quite a few of them. One (1) new stage, no new story modes, no new outfits, no new modes, nothing else
>Only free update dlc was Shalloy from a fucking gacha mobile slop game, and they didn't even bother giving him his transformations or alt outfits.

>>725581661
Hopefully it EoS soon after how awful they've been with "sorry you need triple Ultras to have a chance in PvP!" this year

>>725571115 (OP)
Flopma kills everything it touches.

>>725583497
I quit at third anniversary due to how obviously card-of-the-month-to-win direction they were headed in, plus just re-running events instead of making new ones. I pop in once a year to see if the actual game improved (new modes, new content, etc) and it's even worse every time. Damn shame, I tested for beta and was really hyped for that game. Bandai don't deserve the DBZ license.

>>725583632
Super you mean
