"Raging Blast 2" Gigantic On-Going Gaming Discussion

[LeprikanGT]

Maybe if the AI didn't use it every 3 seconds, and maybe fired an ultimate in high tension like it was meant to be it would not be such a problem.

What item lets me use supers in RS mode? I'd have that thing attacked to everyone, for when I hit it by mistake trying to block a ki blast.

PS - Full Power Bojack's Galactc Blow = best new move in the game.

I'm just soooooo disappointed that 14 and 15 dont have a team attack. Also that 90% of the old characters dont have new moves but I guess I can let thats slide because the new ones that we have are spectacular.

One more thing, does anyone know if Cell Games Gohan has the Goku outfit from movie 9? I ask because they have a pic of him( using in-game graphics) wearing those clothes when you go listen to the BGMs, its a pic of him, Bojack and Kuririn I believe.

[LeprikanGT]

I could name atleast a dozen different teams attacks they could have added...and failed to.

My favorite new moves are Bojacks two 'rush moves' and Hatchiyack's semi-rush move and Janemba's semi rush move.

Atleast they gave the team attacks people different versions, atleast 2 of them have that.

[Jaetinh]

Nvm, I found that other thread.

Also I don't think having to unlock things is a valid flaw of the game. It's not like other fighting games make you unlock stuff.

It's a flaw in other games, too. You shouldn't have to play single player for hours in order to unlock a competent multi player mode.

I think the reason Raging Blast 2 is getting such low reviews is because people are rating it as "Another DBZ game" instead of reviewing it on it's own merits.

I've only played the demo for the game so far (Waiting for the price drop I'm sure the game will have near Christmas time to get it) but from what I've played it seems that the game is far superior to the original verision. The only complaint I have is that the characters feel heavier for some reason...but that may just be my imagination.

They'll never rate DB games it on their own merit unfortunately.

No, they're reviewing it on its own merits but it still sucks. The only people who like these games are people who like Dragon Ball Z, and even some of the people who like Dragon Ball Z don't like them.

Perhaps, I always get the sinking feeling that they don't though because most reviews always include the line "Not another DBZ game..." that's probably just me though.

Different characters use the different modes I think. When I face Vegeta, he always uses High Tension and spams Supers and Ultimates, while Broli uses Raging Soul and tries to beat the life out of me.

As for the item, it's called Unexpected Blow or something like that, but it takes up 15 of the customization points.

That pictures makes me think they at least acknowledged the outfit, but maybe were not able to finish the model in time. That BGM icon is the only one to use art not taken from the prerendered versions on the character select screen if I recall correctly, since Gohan actually has a new pose and a new outfit instead of it being a crappy recolor.

Sadly, I don't think it was actually in the game. I had hope that it may have been the costume for the "Enhanced Gohan" you get as "DLC" or for beating the Zones with him, but then I remembered that the costume for that version is green. -.-

Oh well, here is to hoping that Goku gets his blue dogi from the the end of Z, Vegeta needs his Badman clothes as well as the gym outfit from the end of Z, Gohan needs the orange dogi from the Bojack movie, and Trunks...both version of Future Trunks need costumes bad... (sad thing is, all they really have to do is switch the heads on the two models and we have new costumes -.-)

I doubt we'll ever get a Badman costume for Vegeta, since it's been seven home console games now (Budokai 1 to Raging Blast) and we still haven't got it. There's a slight chance we'll get Goku's blue dogi from the end of Z, but I strongly doubt we'll get Vegeta's gym outfit from the end of Z (which I never even thought of until now) or Gohan's orange dogi from Bojack Unbound. They'd rather give Goku three identical dogis with different symbols and a crappy battle-damaged costume.

I doubt we'll get a Badman Vegeta too, but it would be nice. I don't know why you think we won't get Gohan's movie 9 dogi though, I'm more than willing to bet that it will be in the next game.

I'm actually hoping that Raging Blast 3 focuses on the end of Z and maybe even Neko Majin for cameos instead of adding in a crappy GT roster which will never be done justice if they only add anther 30 characters/forms. Goku could get his blue dogi, Vegeta could get the gym clothes, throw in teen Trunks (present) and teen Goten, as well as kid Pan, kid Uub, Onio (Base, SS), Z (maybe Super Neko Majin? dunno) and Kurieza (both forms). Would be nice to finally be able to play that portion of the series as more than just Goku and Uub in Budokai 3.

We do seem to have a differing opinion though, since I believe every costume Goku has is necessary (except maybe the Yardrat one, which was just cool). I fight more in the Kaio, Go and battle damaged dogi way more than his others. Some people have suggested making the symbols an item to equip, but I don't see the point, since it is just an asinine way of doing the exact same thing that they already have done.

I've only played the demo for the game so far (Waiting for the price drop I'm sure the game will have near Christmas time to get it) but from what I've played it seems that the game is far superior to the original verision. The only complaint I have is that the characters feel heavier for some reason...but that may just be my imagination.

But it is another Dragonball game. How else should it be viewed? It's a weak fighter for fighter fans, It's too out there for casual fans(look up the Giant Bomb video that was uploaded here and you'll see what I mean), The game is competing with Enslaved, Kinect, Playstation Move, Black Ops, Castlevainia, Fallout: New Vegas and the new Red Wii(that comes with Mario). Not to mention, it doesn't even hold up to other Dragonball games. No matter which was you look at it, this game isn't the best it can be. You can like the game, sure, but for $60 I'd rather spend money on something worth while.

Well said.

[Hellspawn28]

I think people are sick of these games just like people are with the Saw movies (Both Saw 5 and 6 where box office bombs, and Saw 3D is not so hot at the box office neither). I wish the next game will be out in 2012 instend of 2011 since they can spend more time on finishing the game for once. I'm pretty sure a lot of you guys can deal without a new game every year for once?

[LeprikanGT]

Good comparison...and side note: I thought Saw being in 3D and it being out in the open in front of people and not in some dirty basement and all was a TERRIBLE idea. It's like some young kissass in the company with no respect for the first ones desided to just on the bandwagon JUST to make money.


We need a new Sagas type game, not an RPG, just a truely free roam map.

[Hellspawn28]

Funny how I ask the people at Gamestop if the game was selling well, and they told me no since no one has bought the game yet. If a 3rd game is made then I want Spike to take time on making it then rush it out like they did with the past few games.

I want a DBZ game similar to MU where you can pick a section of characters and level them up.

[Rostir]

The limitations on this series is downright astounding. The stage sizes are small, and I know that the PS3/360 hardware is well capable of having large stages usable without any lag or extra loading. There's also a large limit on costume choice, every person has at least have two different costumes, and not palette swaps.

The number of distinctive outfits for people like Gohan, Trunks, and Vegeta have worn would amount to about 11 different costumes in all for each character, so, they should work on that.e It's annoying that they make you fight the Androids in the Future with Trunks in his Saiyan armor, when he actually wore his black T-shirt and trousers, with his watch. BT3 had Gohan's Bojack Unbound outfit, more things like this need to be included.

Trunks only fought Cell in his armor, and by that point he got a hair cut, this is where the number of costume choice comes in. We also didn't get planet explosions, and why are there such a small amount of stages? We didn't even get the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, the developers don't seem to really care about these small details. They need a group of 10 avid DBZ fans to make the decisions when it comes to these things.

They're using Blu-Ray discs, and Dual layer DVDs, there's no reason for this. Even BT3 had more costume choices and stages. Why do they take things out but add other things? Everything needs to be put together and combined. Also, enough with this Super Volley Blasts for every character, you've seen the distinctive Rush attacks for people, how about studying the episodes to look for certain attacks rather than adding colorless generic ones. In BT2, the attributes of characters could be leveled up, why not here?

Is Battle Zone really necessary? It's a baseless add to the tedium that the game already has. Also, there's no team attacks, or simultaneous fighting with each other.

There's many things they could do to make these games very good, I'm not mad at them, I just use wishful thinking often.

Feel free to tell me what I need to fix in my desires for this series.

[Hellspawn28]

You can't blow up the Planet's surface again? I hate that the last RB game did not do that, and blowing up Planets are DBZ characters are known for.

[LeprikanGT]

This block button B*LLSH*T is literally going to be why I stop playing this game and go sell it back to GameStop.

I CAN'T be the only person having this problem.
