Unless they give us local multiplier and less shallow gameplay within these upcoming months of development time, I'm gonna have to stick with my judgement. It's gonna be bad. Honestly, I'm half tempted to give up on the video game aspect of this series. I haven't bought a DBZ game since Raging Blast 2.

So you miss like only 1 game....? Should't you wait till at least 1 more game comes out before you say since "RB2" since only ONE game came out afterwards(Not counting HD)

Ultimate Tenkaichi AND DBZ Kinect. Not counting just by games, it's been roughly 3 years. 3 games have come and gone under a tradition development cycle. Waiting aside, these 2 games are the epitome of shit. They make it hard for me to look forward to any new DBZ game. I had high hopes for Battle of Z yet each news reveal keeps making me want it less and less.

A Kinect game is still a game that cost $60. It counts.

It's not the Kinect. It's the fact it was DBZ Kinect. The fact you counted it as a game that you didn't buy is just....sad IMO

I don't like Cell or krillin. Therefore they should be removed, instead of you know...me just not playing as them. :|. Hey I don't particularly like Nappa or Raditz either, they should just be removed because instead of you know, instead not playing as them and just ignoring them , i'd rather they be removed so I could only be happy and alienate people who might like playing as the characters.

Buu removal as well ,because i dont like the buu saga and sure as hell not the main villain. Might as well remove broly too right?
:roll:

Or you know...they can keep in GT characters, AND add in BoG characters.

It's a damn good thing we have games like DB heroes which has BoG characters, Z characters, AND GT characters. Or even games like Tenkaichi 3 that add in characters(even if it's only a little bit from a series) from all three series (Db/Z/GT). Continue a new path of having in Z characters, movie characters, BoG characters, GT characters, etc instead of doing stupid things like removing characters but adding in two or three more . Even games like B3 and infinite world(though it also removed characters) have characters from all three series. Also what do you mean by "good story"? A brand new Dbz story with actual good writing for the video games?

Or just them doing what's been done for how many years, but this time with all cutscenes that entirely replicate the anime which covers each and every battle, has cutscenes similar to the anime for all of them, right to the very end? Good luck with that

No. They suck.. they ruined Asura's Wrath by having it play like Naruto Ninja Storm.
This. Alhough I like CC2 for their cutscenes in the story, gameplay is a whole other thing for games such as UNS . The gameplay is way too simple, can only use one jutsu per character(not counting support characters) and just doesn't appeal to me.

However, they apparently developed Jojo's Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle. Which seems to be getting some hype(atleast from the videos and boards i've looked at). Anyone whose played the game can gladly share their input on how it is.

Well, we'll atleast get much better input from people who played the game at TGS, or better videos than what we've seen so far atleast. Maybe we'll also see if they have the option of doing 1 VS 1 in the gameplay demo too, assuming they barely reveal info until then.

I cant say I'm excited for this game at this point, but a part of me still wants to see how this game turns out and if it'll be worth a buy.

When the game gets better then people will stop complain, while they give us something that doesn't look good then people will complain. The game looks fun to some but do you know what was fun to others, Budokai 3 and Tenkaichi 3.

I rather have the same game over and over again that was fun then get something new that isn't looking promising.

A vast majority of fans are in disapproval of GT, that's why we don't see GT very often. I would prefer it if this continued since GT isn't necessary IMO, unlike Krillin, Cell, Nappa and Raditz.

I like how you went from " I don't like GT" as being a good reason to remove characters from b3, to now " a vast majority of fans are in disapproval of GT" which doesn't really take away from the silly aspect of removing all characters in a particular series from B3 to add in 2-3 characters from a movie. When you can simply keep those characters and add in BoG as well.

You would prefer it if this continued? What? I wasn't aware it was hard to ignore characters or series in games that you do not like, and play the characters you DO want to play as. Are you aware that games can have characters , canon or not, liked or not?

I'm not even a big fan of GT , or even most of the movies with Broly, lord slug, turles etc but it'd be silly for me to wish that they get removed from a game i like, or all future games when the simple thing to do would be: Not play as them or ignore them . As long as the game has established characters, or characters you like, why keep certain ones out of the game if you can simply not play as them. Like what DB heroes, a card game, is doing.

Especially when previous games have had them.

Also, you never did explain. What do you mean by "Good story"? I'm just curious on that aspect.

I agree that GT should be in it if the majority of fans were in approval. It wouldn't be fair to them if it wasn't included. The fact that I don't like it like many other people gives me the right to say GT shouldn't be included. It takes time from developing other characters. If you want GT, more power to ya, the problem is you're the minority.

It's true that the majority of the fanbase doesn't like GT. But form what I've seen, the majority of the fanbase wants the GT characters in the games, because the characters are cool. I haven't seen lots of hate for Super Saiyan 4 Goku/Vegeta/Gogeta, Baby, or Super #17.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

I don't see it a lot for the SSJ4s, but Baby and Super 17 have their fair share of haters.

Not really, aside from you and a few others here, almost everyone enjoys playing as the GT characters in games regardless of how they feel about that portion of the anime.

As a lot of people who like to bash GT claim "It was always hated in Japan etc etc" yet it was in all but two games from 2004 to 2008. Those two games being Super DBZ and wack ass Burst Limit, both of which aren't all that popular.

Umm, GT is despised by the majority of the fanbase. I'm not talking about the incredibly small community of 5,000+ here.

They should concentrate on what matters most first. Main Z characters have higher priority. The team isn't disrespecting anyone, not calling Dimps or Spike desperate by adding GT characters, nothing like that. They're just thinking about things sensibly. They shouldn't have to add some characters from a series that very clearly not as well loved as Z just to pander to the people that really want them.

I know, I'm talking about as far as not wanting them in any of the games point blank period, which is ridiculous because like others have said regardless of how the GT story was in the anime, IN THE GAMES, the characters are cool to play as. So all in all completely blacklisting GT would be a bad move on the game developers part.
