  • It's time for Dragon Ball Z. DBS, DBGT, you know the drill. Let's all hop along together for Goku and his friend's massive action RPG bitcoin journey throughout the entire Z Saga. One that... I went all too thorough with. Am I ok? Probably not. Btw played on a PS5, though the Nintendo Switch version looks aight.

      Watch Kai if it's your first go through, OG DBZ is daunting with the amount of filler it had and most of it is pretty bad. But once you finish that Kai watch through I'd recommend at least checking out the Otherworld Tournament filler arc.
      Oh also there's Kai: The Final Chapters which is the last arc of DBZ, it's seperate from the main Kai series because it came out a few years later but you should switch over to that immediately after finishing the Cell Saga/the first series.

    In defence of the cutscenes I'm happy that they did them the way they did. It's simply an accessibility feature. Being deaf is a killer when you play a game and someone says something that's 2 words long (usually the mcguffin of the game) and you can't hear it it kills the story.
    EA missed this entirely on squadrons and it made the game basically unplayable because it wasn't possible to get subtitles on the opening/training mission and once you get to mission 3 you've picked it up on your own but your not great and then it gives mission critical information without subtitles. When you can't hear you don't realise that it's actually told you what to do. That's as far as I could go with it because they didn't consider a portion of the player base.

    To be honest, i'm still really bummed that they didn't just go for a full budget Dragon Ball RPG instead. I feel like it would've given them more of a reason to make the combat more substantial due to power levels not being as heavy handed and since that story is retold a lot less, it would've been something cool for the younger generation that hasn't watched the original DB.

The broly fight would also be cool. I think original db would be dope and I think the way Goku fishes in this game would obv fit kid Goku WAY more.

    The combat was good, but it still felt like a PS2 era jrpg. I expected a lot more out of the side content and maps, because the game quickly became quite tedious. As someone who absolutely adores the original DB and Z, the classic characters and environments plus the animation charmed me until the end. But as a game it's honestly a 7/10 at best, while games like XenoVerse 2 and FighterZ are 9s.

    When you said "but even cooler" and Cooler popped up on the screen, my hand jumped for the mouse to like the video. And then I realized I already did about 30 minutes before that. Banger of a video, man.

    I've finally finished DB and have been watching DBZ in order and in Japanese so this video couldn't have come at a better time.

    Having played it when it came out (without diving into the DLC which I've heard was pretty meh until the Trunks one so I haven't gone back to it yet), I definitely agree with it being a perfectly fine 7 / 10 game. Definitely worth a look though, especially if it has been a while since you've last experienced DBZ's story.

    this is a great game. is it the best DBZ game? no. is it the best DBZ story game with fun simple mechanics and semi open worlds to explore? Absolutely yes! If you're a Dragon Ball fan, this is a game you have to have! Personally I have over 300 hours in this game. its not perfect however as a retelling of the Z story and all the fan service from the side quests and seeing old characters form OG DB, this game is the best

    I'll find time to play it at some point. After hearing you talk about it though I'm really excited for the trunks DLC

    I have to say,, I preordered the collector edition of this game just for the statue that came with It. I played like 5 hours of It and never came back to the game.... I do not regret anything, the statue is beautiful.
    Maybe I'll return to this game and finish the story... maybe
    little extra, I'm still salty that the most expensive edition of the game didn't include the season pass

      I did the exact same thing with Jump Force, it was an alright game, but I just mainly wanted the statue.

    Man, I didn't think anyone could sell me on this game, but those permanent super saiyan multipliers are juicy. That's some SERIOUS number go up.

    Something I want to point out. The Buu part of Future Trunks was shown in Super's Manga. It follows it really closely.

    I actually really like playing the side characters for the main quest in anime related games. Like DBZ:Attack of the Saiyans on the Nintendo DS had a long chunk of the game as Krillin,Yamcha,Tien,Piccalo, and kid Gohan.
