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

[SparkyPantsMcGee]

I fucking called it . This is coming from someone who defended the game earlier on. Isn't the point of the game preview is to MAKE us buy it even if the game is not finish. We can say the same to the people thinks the gameplay is good. Since they haven't played it they can't say it's good. But I guess that statement only applies to those who don't like what they see.

I don't care that he doesn't like the game, it bugs me that he's speaking in absolute when absolutely no one has even gotten their hands on it. If he were to say something along the lines of "I think the gameplay looks shallow as hell based on the info we've seen" rather than just saying their shallow as hell like he knows I wouldn't see it as a big deal. But at this point saying it like it's fact, rather than an impression, is just talking out your ass. And no it goes both ways because I think the gameplay looks fine based on what has been shown. My opinion can always change as more information is released.

If it goes both ways then treat as such. This goes for everyone. Not trying to lecture but it's true.

Rather than endlessly battling semantics with each other as a small group, please instead focus on contributing great conversation.

But I love arguing semantics! Fine. Has their been any updates since TGS. I was under the impression the game was going to get more coverage at this show since it wasn't seen at E3 or Gamerscon. Whats the status(aside from the new Naruto costume)?

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Well, Nostal/Treevax said that he had already been aware of the Naruto costume for Goku because it is in the next game trailer Namdai has. So I'm at least expecting another trailer from TGS next Saturday, since the game will be there.

Side note, apparently Nostal said that the Naruto costume changes Goku's running animation to mimic the way the Naruto characters run, similar to how Naruto in Goku's costume used the Rasengan in the Kamehameha pose.

Not the biggest Naruto fan, but I'm a sucker for the details and stuff like that always makes me smile. They could have easily made it just a costume, but to go the extra mile is really cool.

Meh I take it more as a "you scratch my back, I scratch yours" type of thing.. admittedly I was half expecting Goku to fire his Kamehameha like a Rasengan but the run thing is kinda unique I guess even though he kinda ran like that as a kid anyway.

He ran with his arms to his side/back as a Kid? WHEN!?

The gameplay is shallow as hell. Even Zenkai Battle Royale looked far too limited in the number of things you could do with the gameplay.

your speaking like it's fact and not just speculation. Honestly, what we know and seen from this game is still very limiting. There haven't been in depth demonstrations or breakdowns yet and no one aside from those developing the game have been able to play the game and give an impression. That's why people pull the "well you haven't actually played it" card; because you haven't and you are speaking in absolutes.

Exxaaccttllyyyy. Now you see my argument from before when everyone straight hated me It doesn't look good but not totally bad. ZBR is better so this could be better and if we don't like it, well we haven't played it so we can't make an opinion. That's what trailers and gameplay videos do. They give you a chance to see whether it is good or not. They beg for you to judge it. And we get crap for judging it based on gameplay videos and trailers because we haven't played it yet....Seems. Legit. This game is looking shallow.

I wasn't going to say anything because clearly VegettoEX wanted the subject dropped but it's bugging me. You CAN HAVE AN OPINION. That's not the issue, the issue is speaking in absolutes. Saying the gameplay is shallow, as if it were fact is completely false. Saying the gameplay looked shallow based on your perception so far is an opinion. There is a very clear distinction between the two and I don't think you guys are picking up on it.

Well not to spark it up. But I understand what you're saying but I don't think people want to write IN MY Opinion or I THINK every post. I think it's kinda obvious it's their opinion. What I have an issue is the fact people who said bad things got lecture cause they never played the game. Yet trailers and gameplays videos should persuade people to liking it and buying it. However if someone says this gameplay looks cool they don't have to say IN MY OPINION or I think they don't get the whole lecture saying they never played it. People are going to state what they like or don't like from gameplay videos. It should be obvious that it's their opinion. It doesn't need to be stated every post.

[Silkman3003]

this gameplay stuff makes me wonder if anyone here will go to TGS. Maybe they can give their impressions on Battle of Z and maybe J stars victory, if they are both playable at TGS

I'm not speaking in absolutes, I think it looks shallow honestly. I'm not saying hey everyone this game is shallow because I say so and that means it's fact, I'm saying I think it's shallow gameplay as in my opinion...People shouldn't have to bring up whether or not someone is speaking in absolutes just because they don't put "I think" in front of every sentence. Only when someone is like "Hey guys this game is the worst game ever and that's a fact"

There has been a fair amount of that in this thread (maybe not from you, though).
