UGH.

What a terrible intro. Where the hell are Freeza and Cell?!

Unless I hear that the game is the 2nd coming of Christ, I'm totally avoiding it like the plague. I'm sick of these Sparking Expansion Packs.

They'd have to program every single character so that they could have Ginyu's voice and moveset in case they get hit by the beam. They'd also have to program Ginyu's model with every other character's voice and moveset. Also, how would this ever work on giant characters?

This way they only have to do it for a few of them and they just put one in randomly.

UGH!

I too am a bit disappointed by this. Really I would rather Ginyu's body change from the first Sparking game no matter if the character has Ginyu's voice and mannerisms. Still I can live with this though I hope they actually give the characters in Ginyu's "change roster" their techniques. In the last installment I felt the body swap was just playing for time rather than Captain Ginyu's ace up his sleeve.

How would they be anything but an expansion? What do you get when they try something new...? Sagas. That's just gross. To me, this game looks badass. I actually stopped playing the second one because it doesn't look as fun as the third. I want BT3 damnit! At least Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions will hold me over until then.

Oh yeah, that sucks about Ginyu.

And, I have GOT to say, I love Goku and Gohan's armor, 17's outfit from the end of Z, and SSJ3 Goku in Armor!!

Enjoy the intro! I did!

You're a little late.

And I'm sick of folk (like you) who "claim" to be sick of a game and continue to post topics on a board about the game like a DUMB mouth to a flame.

Look fellow, most sequals if not all are just expansion packs of it's previous installment and thats REAL TALK! Sparking Meteor is a real, and I mean REAL quality game and worth every cent it's priced for and this is from a true gamers point of few and not a delusional DBZ fan.

What are movie sequals?
A second etc. film "EXPANDING" and "BUILDING" upon the events etc. that occured in the previous...correct?
Same thing applies here and truthfully Sparking has been undoubtably consistent in there sequals.
This game is a true testament!

So go be a ignant-hater somwhere else.

Honestly, must you flame everyone who has a negative opinion of the game?

Please keep in mind that Sagas was made by the development company Avalanche (Responsible for the Tak games). Besides there's that rumored DBZ adventure game for the PS2 & X360 as hinted by Viz, so I'm pretty sure will eventually get a solid DBZ title that's not a fighting game.

Well, I've received my order and after several hours of play...... I'm not impressed. Yet.

I'm sure I'll enjoy the new characters/costumes, but man is it a bitch unlocking them.

It feels like I'm doing the SAME exact thing that I've done two other times now. (In regards to the story mode)

They said that there would be a vastly restructured story mode, but, it really isn't. Man, it is such a chore ... I really wish I could just import everything over from BT2 and unlock the new stuff from there.

Gameplay itself has been tweaked minimally. They said that they had made some improvements to the gameplay to promote more variety, but... That's not really true. There are a few, slight additions that won't really make that much of a difference in the heat of battle. The game is still very much about using mostly power blasts to win battles.

Interface is really cool, much like BT2. I love the loading screens and other little touches.

On the whole, I'm gonna go ahead and say that this feels like BT2+. Perhaps it should've even be released as an expansion game.

It's sad to hear you say that, as I was ready to enjoy the graphical eye candy. Speaking of graphics, how are the blasts looking? Do you think they improved by a lot, or just minimally? I'm pretty sure they did very little to improve the correct models. YouTube videos really don't do the actions justice because for the majority of the time, I just stare at the pixels due to the sucky flash. Anyways, expansion? I'll get to the bottom of this sooner or later. Oh, and HyperBlaze, those negative talks are merely opinions, thus they should not affect your enjoyment of the game. Then again, do you even have the game yet? Just asking.

Wah! The intro's just as plastic-y as the previous two, only without everyone moving like jello. TT_TT

Why can't we have 2D, animated intros back?

I'm not going to even thank the ones who's been showing gameplay videos with glitched and skipped audio because chances are, they're playing the bootleg. SHIT!
Burned copies of games run just as perfectly as the originals actually.

Only if you're very lucky. I've never had any burned games myself but I've seen plenty of disscusion over glitches that occur only in downloaded and burned copies of games. Some of which are gamekillers.

The hand of God coming down to pwn Freeza. Like a n00b.

Yeah, it actually looks like an even fight. What I liked was that Goku actually stopped to tell Freeza he was outmatched, and I liked the beam fight at the end.

And check out Cell's transformations as well. Very little comment, because in my opinion, the only impressive transformation is the one going to Super Perfect. The other transformations can only be appreciated in the story mode, because doing it several times in vs. mode is just annoying.

Darn, Bardock's man-humping was what made it funny when my friend comes over to play, we called him 'Bardock the Rapist', his broken amour alt. costume did not help. Cell's transformation looks awesome.

The intro is okay, I still think it makes more sense than BT2, Gotenks vs Buu in Rock-Paper-Scissors is the best part of the intro. I hate the fact Ginyu still sucks, I wanted BT Ginyu! He was the best! And I thought he was capable of speaking like the person he inhabited? Arale rocks, she is the goddess of awesome.

And yet still no movie 9 Mirai Trunks, gravity room casual outfit Trunks, or any Earth outfits for Vegeta at all.

Wow, that was epic!

To bad that there isn't a 'Dodge the purple disks' mini-game. That would've been cool.

First off, you need to type properly; you agreed to it via the forum rules before registering.

Second, the phrase is "Like a moth to a flame". Putting your mouth on it would really hurt.

Third, if you're not willing to take criticisms on the game (which continues to prove the somewhat-sociological observation that certain fans need to "justify" their purchases, or otherwise have them "validated" by not allowing negative comments directed at the product)... perhaps you're the one that shouldn't be posting here. Where-as other people are directing comments at the game, you're directing comments personally at them... which is extremely childish.

Keep in mind how many threads on the game I've had to lock in the past, and also my promise that I'll simply not allow any future ones period if this type of nonsense continues.

Talk about a major additional voice acting for Ginyu's seiyu. It would be cool to hear Ginyu's voice saying some of the attacks such as Kamehameha, and Stupid Ener....I mean, Genki-Dama.

Textures shouldn't be a problem, they are already in-game.
The voice-acting is more of a "problem" in this point of view.
But then again, Ginyu wouldn't have to use Kamehameha or something.
Even if he COULD control his new body and it's abilities, he would still be using his moveset (or just nothing).

The body-change like in BT2-3 is alright because it's like a "senzu bean", but of course this way takes away some good strategy and fun.
Self-damage before stealing your opponent's body would have been really cool.
But well...
Not my favorite this way, but this surely won't ruine the whole game (I hope so at least).

As for unlocking characters:
Imho they should have made use of the disc fusion system and just look for old saves and if these are found, just unlock everything that was already unlocked in the previous games.

I personally would prefer that to have less "work" to do.
But I am the kind of person who enjoys it sometimes to play storymode - so I don't need any motivation to do it (and I know quite some people who need such unlocking-motivation ^^).
