"DBZ: Battle of Z" (360/PS3/Vita) On-Going Discussion Thread

[KentalSSJ6]

I really do feel bad for NB, I really do. Looks like a "good" DBZ game will have to take more than two years.

Take BT3 and make the graphics HD (or take RB2), add way more content (reaply value is very important), and you'll have it. I'd say it'll take two month rather than two years.

It would take more then just two months to make a game like that. It's much harder then it looks.

Funny thing is I've seen Tenkaichi 3 on a Dolphin Emulator and it looks pretty damn HD.

Man I would kill for a guide on the differences between the classes. I can't figure out how to build energy best with the interfere type. I get that melee is through combat, ki is by shooting, and support is by staying put. How about interfere?

[chaospunishment]

Interfere needs ki support from a support type.

Unless you like going in like a melee type (even with double types) and having your class type completely useless.

Which is why think Tien uses HP instead of ki

When watching said reviews keep in mind that the game is stiff, awkward, lazily explained, and has the bare minimum amount of features available. That being said, it's brilliant fun if you go in knowing what to expect. Check out lord moonstone's videos on the game if you haven't done so yet. They're really helpful. Not many people are going to understand this game, least of all journalists who are only reviewing the title because they have to.

People do understand how the game works but the problem is with its gameplay, it's just absolutely horrendously simplified without any deep fighting style at all.

No Zenkai Battle Royale for PlayStation 3 but hey we're getting J-Stars Victory Vs. and that looks pretty close to ZBR (I said the same about this game and look how it turned out). ^_^

This game should have been called Battle O' Z, not Battle Of Z.

While playing last night a Roshi hint popped up claiming that interferes get energy simply by moving(boosting?). It makes sense given that support types supposedly get it from standing still. There had to be a better way to convey information than through these damnable loading screen Roshi hints.

If you're complaining about the combat not being deep enough, you don't understand how the game works. It's not about 1 vs 1 balanced fights. It's about the team!

If anything, this game's better because of that. I mean, why bother adding lots of combinations if you can get attack by the back at any time? If anything it would only make people more frustated.

Still haven't got the game yet, but the demo is so damn fun that i just can't dislike this game. Also i tried putting some Legends music while playing (because fuck yeah this game supports costum music online) and it works suprisingly well.

I want to get this game because I had fun with the demo, but the critics and most DBZ fans don't like it...

That bothers you because? In my class, no one likes 2d fighting games, should I not buy them because of that? No, I like what I play so i'll play it.

It just feels wrong buying a game with a 58 Metascore that most fans hate.

This is just more of your usual inability to form your own opinion and show some spine.

If you like it, you like it. That's fine. That's great. Lots of other fans are enjoying the game right now, even if this one particular thread on this one particular forum attached to this one particular website does not give that indication.

This thread is hardly the only place where BoZ gets bashed.

[VegettoEX]

I did not say that other folks in other places don't like the game.

I very specifically said that other people in other places do like the game.

Neither precludes the other from existing/happening.

It doesn't matter, and you shouldn't care if you like it. If you like something, then it's good for you. If others hate it, then it's bad for them. And this isn't by no means a case where you should put others above yourself.

Yeah, but the majority doesn't like the game, which makes me feel wrong for even thinking of supporting it.

That doesn't seem like a very smart way of going about it, your not likely to have a good time if you just follow the crowd. A lot of games have low scores but does mean they're bad, it just means a certain group of people didn't enjoy it. It's all in the eye of the beholder at the end of the day, if you thought the demo was fun then carry on doing so. No ones going to judge you.

You're so obsessed by what others judge or think of what you like... Come on, get over it and be an adult!

God damn, I hate reading posts like this. When you see something new, you try it and form your own opinion. Just because other people don't like a book, movie, t.v. show, whatever doesn't mean you won't like it. Don't be a sheep, or you'll miss out on all sorts of amazing things.

[Eddie]

Any tips on fighting Hirudegarn? Also, how do I make my CPU partners NOT get themselves knocked out of the ring at the Tenkaichi Budokai?

[dbboxkaifan]

Yeah, but the majority doesn't like the game, which makes me feel wrong for even thinking of supporting it.

I for example like Dragon Ball Z For Kinect because it's a fun game when played in a room big enough for Kinect to recognise the user's body, but a small one? Just forget it.

Dragon Ball GT is also detested by the majority of the fans but that doesn't mean that it's any less fun to watch, it's enjoyable, always nice to listen to Lord Nozawa and the original score of GT is great.

But for Battle of Z.. just no. I've tried out the gameplay plenty of chances and it was never addictive nor enjoyable, for me the only two good things about BoZ is the OP & Soundtrack.
