Well, can't say I'm surprised by the demo impression. I'll still give the demo a try when it's available, but I have a feeling it won't change my mind one bit.

I returned Raging Blast after an hour or two because of the senseless control scheme change. I haven't bothered with any since. I decided to give this a chance because of the online team battle potential. I'm hoping the this would be Raging Blast with team battles and that it's been long enough for me to get past the control change.

Because so far it seems like a pile of shit? The same shit that's been shovelled every year for the past 10 years? Only this time with less options but new gimmicks? Might be that.

Which is sad to be honest. I honestly don't see what's so hard about making a game with a variety of options in gameplay, a good story for once, and a roster that doesn't randomly cut important characters. I mean I honestly wouldn't mind if they just updated Raging Blast with BT3's gameplay, story pieces that are missing thanks to certain characters missing, and BoG characters as well as the missing important characters. I'd gladly pay like $20-$30 for that. RB1 is a pretty game with a solid roster and solid story. It's just hindered by a lack of important characters and limited gameplay.

People really thought Namco Bandai making this game for themselves when there were suggestions for a game like this, like praising ZBR and trashing RB2. Even if the suggestions it wasn't for a team game, I still thought Namco was thinking "they don't really want a RB3 or BT4 after what they've said about RB2". And it's a damn shame, cuz this is the hardest they've worked. If only they had more time, they just put in more combos.

I'm still willing to give it a shot, and if the demo isn't great, I'll STILL get it, just not in full price.

Man, come on. Who cares about the story. If you want a good story, go watch the anime. I mean, unless they are gonna do it from DB(starting from Bardock) to GT, there's nothing to hope for it. I mean, we all know how Goku killed Frieza, Gohan destroyed Cell, Goku turns to Super Saiyan 3 and all that. Heck, Ultimate Tenkaichi did a fabulous job on the story, and I didn't see any credit on that. Which is why I'm glad RB2 didn't have a story mode and BOZ will have a "WTF" story mode.

Which game is that from? That's such a random color combination. XD

I do like the ability to change the colors, but it's not enough for me to want to buy BOZ; that whole four characters all the time thing seems too much of a hindrance.

It's from the Dragon Ball Z1 Arcade game.

I'd actually be really happy if there was an Arcade port released on Live Arcade or something someday. That and the sequel. Both have the 2D fighting system that I've always been a huge fan of in fighting games.

Which is funny since most are asking for a Tenkaichi 4.

If by great you mean making their models stading there and opening their mouths back and forth, the sure yeah, that story mode was great.
I bet they think of Budokai's story as outdated -_-

Me. I care about the story of game.

I can hope for good alternate stories. It's been done in the past. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like Dimps or Spike have a very good imagination for storytelling.

Never played it, doesn't seem like anything fantastic to me though.

Raging Blast 2 not having a story mode made it incredibly tedious to progress through, since in order to complete it I had to win an amount of unattached battles that didn't necessarily made sense, having no back story behind them. Then I unlocked another mode, composed of more unattached battles that made no sense.

Is it too much to ask for a nice alternate story? One that makes sense? Shin Budokai: Another Road and Ultimate Tenkaichi were a step forward, but made so many wrong decisions and senseless shoehorning. Another Road could have been much better if they didn't make an effort to include every playable character into the story. There was no need for it, just give me Broli and Coola as extras.

As said, a game simply called Dragon Ball Z, it's an arcade exclusive.
You can check all the palette swaps from that game and many others in my database.

Shin Budokai actually had a few cool story ideas. I liked some of the time traveling they did, seeing Videl squeal over how cute she thought Cell saga Gohan was, Vegeta actually using a Kamehameha to help finish Janemba with Goku, all the little things made for a interesting story, not to mention the one where Vegeta actually kills Cell in his second form.
