Dragon Ball Z

There’s going to be a new Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi game

Much-loved fighting series returns after 15 years

It's about fucking time.

Not bad, not bad at all. Played only little of the Tenkaichi games, but good stuff.

BT is the best DB series ever made imo. None of that Xenoverse horseshit.

Xenoverse was fun for being able to make your own Saiyan. But yeah, as a Dragon Ball game, hate to say it but Budokai 1 is still my favorite. I tried playing that Kakarot game and nearly threw up, the control scheme was so bad.

 

[FSLAR]

Xenoverse 1 was fine at times besides the difficulty spikes, but it can be way too easy and the AI blows in specific fights

I got Kakarot dirt cheap on Black Friday 2020 but haven't put it in yet lol

 

[Darth Maul]

I’d rather eat my own asshole than play Kakarot. The controls are that bad.

 

[FSLAR]

I remember thinking it looks so weird at times...and then controlling it too.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I never played it but the horrible models of the characters, specifically all of Goku's tiny Super Saiyan hair models turned me off. Like why is his hair so short and tiny?

 

[FSLAR]

BANANAS!!!!!!!!

I'll be honest....I don't think Goku's standard Super saiyan hair has been done well after a certain point, like...Xenoverse? DBS looked ok.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Looked good in the Raging Blast series from what I remember.

 

[Darth Maul]

The best Dragon Ball game at present is FighterZ and that’s only because of the animation style.

Xenoverse is fun if you want to make your own Saiyan or powerful character. Although, the first game is dogshit compared to part 2. Like actual dogshit. I wouldn’t touch the first one if you put a gun to my head, some of it was that bad.

Tenkaichi has been out of the game for so long that I’m skeptical if it will even be worth it. That Dragon Ball Breakers was horrendous. No one even plays it. I can’t believe NamcoBandai wasted money making that trash.

 

[FSLAR]

The difficulty spike with ...was it Cell or Fat buu? was insane. I was fine with optional missions being so crazy hard but the campaign, please no.

FighterZ's visuals are so sublime, my god. I don't think Tenkaichi has a lot to worry about between the brand (DB sells lol), the hype, and nostalgia baiting being at a huge high. Breakers was almost dead on arrival and wasn't it buggy?

 

[Darth Maul]

Breakers was an asymmetrical pvp game. No one wants that shit.

 

[FSLAR]

That's such an odd choice in DB since part of the fun is the spectacle in the series
