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

[dbboxkaifan]

They unfortunately decided to release a demo. There won't be a sequel. Honestly, like Treevax said, I wouldn't be surprised if Namco Bandai gets their licence taken away here pretty soon.

Unfortunately?! So you'd prefer to pay for something that you'd ultimately be returning for a refund?

ARTDINK has been working on this for two years now and if they still manage to fail to publish a proper game then they deserve nothing more than to have low sales and terrible reviews.

85% of the fanbase is getting sick of the Tenkaichi games.

Which is why people were hoping for a Tenkaichi HD rather than a Budokai HD when an HD compilation game was announced last year??

The fanbase was split up. I personally didn't want neither, although I'd wish they would release Battle Stadium D.O.N on PSN.

I wasn't going to purchase it anyway, but all I'm saying is, this was a poor business strategy. With this demo, people will see how bad this game is, and as a result, people won't buy it.

+The hype around Sparking! Omega and wishes for a Raging Blast 3.

It used to be like that, but now people want another RB game so badly. I don't where the love for RB2 started to come from when I remember people were bashing on the game a couple years back. I remember before the game came out, people were like "This looks like the same shit from the past 5 years". Now people want RB3 so bad now when they are likely going to bitch about it when it comes out.

That's because as it stands, Raging Blast 2 is the only complete Z game that plays decently. It's really sad to say that, because the game is the same shit from the past 5 years but hey: Burst Limit was shallow; Raging Blast was broken; Ultimate Tenkaichi was a mess; and Kinect was just sad. Hell, the HD collection was incomplete and a huge cash grab. Everyone(well ok it's just the same few people over and over) is pissing and moaning over Battle of Z but this is the most effort I've seen put in a Dragonball game in such a long time.

I don't know how I see this, what do you think the price will be 2 months after release?
And maybe 6 months?

Complete? It didn't even have the story mode for the sake of having the complete package.

It wasn't incomplete. All it was missing was the original music due to legal issues and Budokai 2 which people despised anyway.

For a game that's in development for two years they should definitely put some effort into it.

Regardless of whether or not people liked it, 2 out of three games is not a complete collection. But your kind of sort of proving my point anyway. Out of everything we've gotten so far, Raging Blast is kind of the "best" thing out there. These games have sucked so hard, you have people settling for mediocrity or asking for the closest thing that looks like it may be(possibly?) good; looking at you Zenkai Battle Royal.

Alas, UT was the reason why people are now seeing the good in RB2. Also, they tend to forget why they made Ultimate Tenkaichi in the first place. I bet they don't even remember comparing RB2 to THIS game back then, http://youtu.be/r5F-BLLChoM, and thus UT was born and no RB3 for that year or EVER!

As I keep saying it over and over again, fans need to SPECIFY want they want. Cuz if they don't, NB is just gonna keep on rebooting the games until it's their time to go and right now they are thinking that a RB3 or a BT4 won't work because of the backlash they got from the RB series. Some fans wanna act like they didn't do anything to deserve the things the way they are now and that's not right.

Everyone(well ok it's just the same few people over and over) is pissing and moaning over Battle of Z but this is the most effort I've seen put in a Dragonball game in such a long time.

So freaking sad that it has to be like this, man. SO SAD! Makes me feel more bad for NB than before. I'll still get the game but just not in full price. It just looks fun to me, regardless of what Treevax said.

I wonder how the alternate paths of the story would be like.

It would be funny if people start loving UT/UB if Battle of Z sucks . It's like when Sonic '06 came out, fans started liking Shadow the Hedgehog more or when the second AVP movie came out that some fans started liking the first AVP movie more (Which is not saying much).

Wouldn't be surprised because if we take RB2 for example fans began hating it but then somehow turned to love it as if it were the best DBZ game they ever played.

I just don't get them.

DBZ Kinect didn't drop until a few months ago and that's when I snatched a copy because afterwards the price increased slightly again. Just to be on the safe side if this game goes out of print / rare I at least own a copy of it and obviously this didn't sold very well, so there's that.

Where I live, its hard to believe that Dragon Ball Z kinect is loved by many here and is still being sold at retail for about $39.99,hell,even budokai tenkaichi 1,2,3 are still being sold on the ps2,brand new!

Tenkaichi 3 goes for a good amount of money these days, especially if it's still factory sealed. In case they're sort of cheap you could buy them and re-sell but you're under 18 aren't you?

It's odd that there's still places with sealed copies of these games.

[supersaiyan DbZ fan]

it is surprising that RB 1 is not being sold now for over a month but all tenkaichi games on ps2 and infinite world are still being sold. i really wanted rb 1 but alas, i got rb 2, i don't know what good it'll do ya, but check our catalogue.

Wait, did I get something wrong, or you can only use one special attack (like Kamehameha)?!

You serious? Was this hinted somewhere?

Treevax said that the Super Atack is performed by pressing Triangle + Circle. I think you can do a Super Attack (like Kamehameha) & an Ultimate Attack (like Genki Dama) when Genki is full. Have they said if we can customize moves?
