"Raging Blast 2" Gigantic On-Going Gaming Discussion

[mysticboy]

Jesus, this game's atrocious...

Have you played it or are you going by those crappy reviews?

[SSJSteve]

The reviewer does make some good points. He's right in saying that it will get boring after a few fights and it will make people want to button bash. That's what I do in the demo, otherwise I just get my ass kicked. It's not the type of game you could play every day for a year, unlike CoD, which is fun to play all the time. If the price drops quite a bit, I might pick it up.

Anyone know how to actually use the custom soundtrack option on the PS3 version? I've been looking through the options and trying different modes, etc, but I still can't find it. I wanna have some Unmei no Hi playing while I beat crap up.

[Bardo117]

Anybody know where to watch it online?

He didn't touch on everything else though (customization system and modes).And he complained about everyone not being unlocked at the start. Also, he said the fighting was overly complexed (I would hope it would be in a FIGHTING game). Lastly... He gave it a 5.5 while RB1 got a 6.1. This is why I don't trust IGN.

Two different people reviewed the games -- Chris Roper reviewed the first one, while Anthony Gallegos reviewed the second one. Two different people will likely give two different games two different scores.

Also, Anthony Gallegos is a good guy. Also also, the review seems pretty spot-on in terms of what we're all anticipating. Also, the fighting system in these games IS overly complex.

Furthermore, IGN's editors are not writing for DBZ's audience -- if you want that, wait for my review .

If you're reading a review just to have your opinion justified, validated, and regurgitated back in your face... you're being incredibly silly.

Try to play the song directly from the PS3's menu, it worked on the first Raging Blast this way at least...

The customization isn't even that good, look at the customization on Black Ops, it's incredible. I'm comparing to Black Ops because that's how you make a good game. I know there two different games, but at least with the CoD series the games always improve. Raging Blast 2 has improved, but not that much. The reviewer is spot on, it's just an average game.

Good point. Can't wait for your review!
But my opinion isn't justified. It's just that other people reading/watching the review will most likely go with it and not give the game a chance.

But the fact of the matter is him not saying anything about it. Isn't the point of a game review is touching on everything in the game?

To avoid sounding rude, somebody like you would think the review is spot on. The guy says the game is more for hardcore fans and judging from the game you keep talking about your more of a casual DBZ gamer and play the other games more so you and his opinion seem to be the same because of where you stand. These games aren't really made expecting to make game of the year they are made to satisfy the fans and for the most part they do that. The guy complains about things most DBZ fans actually enjoy like the not having all the characters at the start.

What I really want to see is what the Japanese think about the game because they are who you look at to see whether or not the game will do well or not, chances are Japanese people will see this game much differently than the North American gamers will.

Of course, but I don't think he needed to say much. We'll be getting more reviews soon, hopefully they'll go more in depth. I will give the game a chance, but I don't fancy paying full price for a game that I'll get bored of after a week.

...What? So what you're saying is this game is crap, and people will only like it because they like Dragon Ball Z? That's what I think you're saying, because I can't think of any other reason a game would only satisfy fans of the show.

[Bardo117]

Thank god I didn't buy the game....I rented the game and....

I am not saying it's crap I am saying that it would cater more to fans because of the characters and the over all DBZ type of fight style. I will say this about the IGN review, he was right about the stages they are just so generic and I really don't like them.

You basically said the same thing again. How can a game be good but only fun to people who like the source it's adapting into a game?

What is up with you and this CoD? You can't compare apples to bananas. They're two completely different genre and series, with different target audiences. Case in point: I can't stand the series. Now, the RB games are far from something I'd play all year, but there are very few games that I can claim that do that for me.

Anyway, it's a good thing I'm not uberly anticipating this game because Amazon isn't even sending it until the 9th. Sure, I didn't pay extra for mega-ultra shipping, but for the sake of the Anointed, sitting on the game for a week isn't optimal at all.

[Hellspawn28]

Well to be fair I do agree with the review from IGN, from what I have seen the gameplay is no different from the first game and the camera is still total shit. It seems like fans will go ape shit sometimes if a person gives the game a bad review, just like Nolan fans who will send people death threats if they don't like TDK or Inception.

I think you judge it for your self before you play it.

[goku the krump dancer]

Eh professional reviews of DBZ games dont bother since 1.Most of them arent DB fans to begin with. And 2.because I believe a lot them think that DBZ games should have stopped after Budokai 3.

On a side note they gave Cell Jr a Cell senior pallete as his alternate costume rather than that sky blue.

[LeprikanGT]

Base Cooler's ultimate = Aaaawesome.

[Bardo117]

The IGN review was spot-on. It kind of was a down-grade from Rb1. Not many improvements, so to say.
