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

Yes he is. SSJ Bardock is non-canon.

There is no official canon in Dragon Ball, and Episode of Bardock (manga version) was covered in Chozenshuu 1, a manga-only guide, not to mention that EoB is part of the official DB timeline.

Doesn't matter, I like it. It's fun, and I don't find it boring. Simple game =/= bad game. Check the original Super Mario Bros.

Please do not compare a classic retro game loved by gamers to something so inferior.

I hope so if they have been working on the game for a year and half. I seen games that have been in the making for years and they end up being total shit like Aliens: Colonial Marines and Too Human.

Too Human is a pretty good game, I haven't finished because I'm at a point where there's a crapload of enemies and I dunno how to beat them, they're too many. The way to make the attacks was innovative, something which I haven't seen on other games.

Damn. There goes my Genki Dami dream.

It's a Genki Dama. lol

Tony wrote this on Facebook page:

Oh god, I can't believe this comment I just read on DBZ Battle of gods. It's too much, I need to share the best of it:

"recycling ultimate tenkaichi's system is NEW? There's a damn good reason the trailer didnt show the health bar,combo meter like the ULT FAILURE trailer didnt do as well,they really just want to uck us over to get cheap easy money from people who love DBZ and are desperate,instead,why dont they just make RAGING BLAS 3?! OR BURST LIMIT 2?! MAYBE A BUDOKAI 4,OR TENKAICHI 3?!! FUCK BANDAI!"

My answer: Are you reading yourself? You say we recycle Tenkaichi system...But you request a 3rd raging blast or a fourth Budokai ?!? Come on...

I feel like what he said is true. Dragon Ball has some of the worst fans on the Internet. If you read the comments, most of them enjoy the samething then anything that is new and won't give it a chance. Red Letter Media is right when it comes to people enjoying eating the same thing over and over again.

Good to see that Namco Bandai isn't staying quiet and instead putting out their exact thoughts.

I entirely agree with Tony.

The gameplay need to be completely different of traditional fighting games, more speed, more forcefulness, more frenetic
The manga/anime haven´t deep combat technics, only powerful punchs, kicks and energy waves

If we were to go by how the fights are on the DBZ series you'd never see the characters because they're too fast.

There are deep DBZ games; Super DBZ, Budokai 3, Infinite World. It took me a while to learn how to gather Ki because on IW I just needed to press R1 (I think), I still need to get better on B3 or I'll end up losing and the fun's in knowing how the game is properly played.

SS Bardock isn't a what-if character.

Eh, don't listen to the troll. I guess he annoyed Namco Bandai enough to block him.

Yes he is. SSJ Bardock is non-canon.

Whether it's canon or not it's down to one's opinion.

I personally don't care about the whole canon/non-cannon.

You good sir just confused the heck out of me

He's saying there's no official canon, yet Episode of Bardock is a part of the official Dragon Ball franchise.

[Silkman3003]

The Budokai saga (the two Shin Budokai included) has very repetitive & spam system,

Can you describe this "spam system" please?

[TheMightyOzaru]

Sparking Meteor is not inferior to Super Mario Bros. That's quite frankly absurd to suggest Super Mario Bros is too good to compare to Sparking Meteor .

NGS had some great points on how fickle the fanbase can be. If you want something new, specify what you want instead of bitching.

Basically things I've been seeing. Fanbase are spoiled ass kids.

[Saiga]

I don't see how SS Bardock is any less of a what-if character than SS3 Trunks or the like.

[TheGmGoken]

@dbboxkaifan I prefer to call it Genki Dami for some reason. Sounds and looks better lol. Just like how I like to call Bardock "Badock"

[TheMightyOzaru]

I don't see how SS Bardock is any less of a what-if character than SS3 Trunks or the like.

He has an anime special unlike SSJ3 Mirai Trunks. Episode of Bardock is also considered "canon" by Shueisha.

[miguelnuva1]

He was in an offical Anime but I agree with you to some degree.

Example: I would tell someone that while he doesn't do so in the movies Broly does go LSSJ3 as he did it in an official game and not something like AF or Hoshi.

[supersaiyan DbZ fan]

This game MUST be released this year otherwise 2013 would be boring without any new releases of Dragon Ball Z (except japan If we include j stars victory versus)

[Saiga]

And SS3 Trunks/Broli/Veggie were in official games.

[Big Momma]

Namco-Bandai is under contract to release one game a year, so (unless I'm wrong) I'm sure we'll get it this year.

[TheGmGoken]

And SS3 Trunks/Broli/Veggie were in official games.

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY WERE IN OFFICIAL GAMES!

[Iced]

Jesus H Christ some of those comments.
Sometimes I think that as long as a dbz game allowed you to collect the characters as if they were toys, the fans wouldnt mind if the games were entirely composed of cutscenes glued together by button mashing mini games.

Guys the whole point of "collecting" characters and costumes went out of the window with the digital era. Its irrelevant how many characters a game has if the gameplay isnt sturdy enough to be played skillfully by others. If all that matters is ammount of characters then why not just collect the 3d models and videos of their cutscenes ?

That seems totally agreeable, even on here, over the years about every game announcement thread I've seen is almost full of people picking faults and lacking a true excitement as well as debating lot of random stuff (case in point SSJ Bardock or whatever). I'm sorta confused though, all the fans I see on Youtube and the Facebook page seem to hate this game with a passion already, it's kind of sad really.

[Wobbuffet]

I'm far from fluent in English, but I think you guys should use more words like "this is my opinion" or "I like this better".
I personally don't want to wait for the next game to get the characters that I want. We had way too much games with few characters already. And the next game will probably be released for next-gen consoles. I have no plans of buying PS4 and Xbox One, and I won't change my mind because of one single game.

The gameplay of Tenkaichi 3 is so unfortunately simplistic that all it takes is pretty much to bash every button in order to win a battle.

If all that takes you to like a DBZ game with a lot of characters then check out mugens.

Please, don't tell me what to do. That's rude. I don't like the lack of unifomity of MUGEN. The commands and the graphics are inevitably too different between characters.

I'm not comparing BT3 with Mario. I'm just pointing out that a game doesn't have to be complicated to be awesome. Even simple games can be awesome.
