Precisely. Because for fighting game aficionados, Budokai 3 isn't a thing at all. To the hardcore, it's just another "2000s anime fighting game" that they might chuckle at and remember nostalgically before going back to exploiting every quirk of FighterZ's game logic in tournaments.


I'll still take a Budokai 4 (or 5, perhaps?) if they ever make one as some comfort food anime fighter.
Most of those people who dismissed it probably never actually learned how to play it at all.
I’m admittedly not a huge expert on fighting games, but the Budokai games aren’t really all that difficult to learn.

They aren't but they don't play like most fighting games and the games themselves never gave players a real incentive to get better when there's actually a lot more than what meets the eye.

Doesn't help the first two games aren't exactly good (they're good for licensed games but not that great in general).

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Budokai 3 didn't age very well when I try to replay it. I found myself getting bored with it after 30 minutes.

It's 16 years old, it being good enough to play for 30 minutes is an accomplishment. :lol:
