Ummm but B3 was a 2d sidescrolling fighter with a very limited arena and BT3 is a DBZ simulator... how can B3 better re-create the show?
The Budokai games are about fighting. The BT games are about flinging energy blasts that. The arena's in the Budokai games are far less limited than the ones in BT. I don't hit the walls nearly as often. And, gasp, I've never hit a wall in the RoSaT!
Sure, BT has the destructable environments and such, but when do you see characters flying around randomly and hiding behind buildings/mountains/whatever to power-up or launch a sneak attack? How often do you see the characters actually using that whole 'free roaming' thing that people say makes BT so much more like the show? Answer: Never. They launch in and attack and stay fairly close range the entire time and stick to a far more 2D battle scape than the BT games follow.
And then there's the capsule system. It's got flaws, some pretty bad ones for some things, but all-in-all it rules. You only need 1 Goku or Vegeta to cover the entire series cause you can customize their movesets. No need to add extra random versions of characters for no real reason.
OK...1 your an idiot. How in the hell are you to go assumng that I'm a fan-boy like the ignorant fool you've clearly made yourself out to be.
Ignorant fool? Say what? I'm calling you a fan boy cause
all that you've done in this
entire thread is rant and rave about how awesome the BT games are and how much everyone else is an idiot for not thinking so. And you even did it again in your response to me. That = Fanboy.
Yes, I mention and explain why I like the Budokai games, but I also mention and explain what I think could/should have been done differently/better. I admit the flaws in the games I like. You ignore them and deny they even exist.
Where do you or anyone get off calling anyone lazy? Just because they have'nt done what you would prefer?....bitch please.
Oh, name calling! How fun. I can call them lazy because that's what it is. They're
re-using an existing character model to make a character that isn't needed so that they don't have to make another character from scratch. Goku = Goku. It's just as simple as that.
Which is more lazy, a guy that takes a drawing of Goku and gives him a blue Gi instead of an orange one, or a guy that draws Dr. Whello or Toma or someone that isn't Goku instead? Yeah, I thought so.
There's time Specific version cause thats how it was made out to be and how it truly should be, not cause there lazy which once again makes you ignorant cause you fly off at the mouth/mind on a whim.
Time specific is fine, when it's actually called for. Such as Saiya-jin Saga Vegeta being seperate from the rest of Z. Oozaru is a lost form after the Saiya-jin Saga.
But alternate Goku's? No, not really. His biggest change is the addition of Kaio Ken and the SSJ forms. It's really not that hard to
just not use them at a point in the series where he shouldn't have them. And... "Angry Kamehameha" as an Ultimate Blast? WTF? That's a Blast 2 skill, not an Ultimate Blast.
And
I'm not the one that looks ignorant or who 'flies off at the mouth/mind on a whim'.
How would you like if I said you were some Dimps/B3 fanboy and that does'nt mean that B3 etc. are the most amazing things to ever exist to everyone else, huh?
If you did it wouldn't bother me any, though I'd ask for proof of where I fanboyed over B3. I state its pros and its cons, mention what I like and dislike about it. I haven't fanboyed over it. About the
only game that I have ever fanboyed over is Robot Alchemic Drive. But that's giant robots and everybody loves giant robots.
I'm only a fan of one thing and thats the show itself. The games (the good ones) just make it all the more fun to enjoy.
And I never said otherwise. Nor did I say that the BT games weren't good. To me, the first one was better than Sagas (though that's not hard to achieve) but still not as good as the Budokai games. The second was close to, if not on par with, Budokai 2. And, as I've said, time well tell if BT3 beats out B3 but I'm not too sure it will. B3 was, and still is, just so much fun to me.
Sure, compared to the BT games the roster is small. But I prefer the combat mechanics of B3 (and w00t to BT3 stealing a few of those mechanics) over the BT game's style. The BT engine is good, and it can be highly entertaining. Hell, I was suggesting something similar (but more streamlined) since around the B2 days after I'd played ZoE the first time. But the engine they designed lends itself more to a beat 'em-up Sagas style brawler more than a fighting game, IMO.
Saying that the Budokai series did a better job at recreating the series is just absurd and that ain't an opinion it's a fact!
You seriously need to learn the definitons of fact and opinion. What you stated is 100% opinion. People have different views on things. I prefer the melee combat of the Budokai games mixed in with sparse, but powreful, energy attacks on occasion. And not only do I like the presentation better, I like the gameplay better. It's not broken. Hercule and the non-fliers are broken in BT2 and that detracts from the experience.
Anyone can shoot me down for what ever reason for saying that but it's a reality.
No, it's opinion.
You can't do half the things in B3 etc. that can be done in Sparking Neo/Meteor that is in the show,and it dawm sure don't have the real experience.
Um. You can fly. You can punch. You can kick (and GASP, they're not on the same button!). You can use energy blasts... Yeah, I don't see anything you can't do in B3 that you can in BT2. And you can also dodge and teleport far better in B3 than BT2. We shall see if BT3 matches B3 with those elements.
B3 etc. is a cow that has been put out to pasture when Neo was released and Meteor was announced.
Again, opinion. Just because
you enjoy BT2 over B3 doesn't mean the rest of the world does too. I play BT2 still (I've played it probably 100x more than BT1) but I still pop in B3 because I find it a better experience. Hell, I put Budokai 1 in my PS2 last month just to play the story mode in it again. I can honestly say that, once I get BT3, I'll probably not touch BT2 again. Where-as I still play all 3 Budokai games.
