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

[chaospunishment]

Any tips on fighting Hirudegarn? Also, how do I make my CPU partners NOT get themselves knocked out of the ring at the Tenkaichi Budokai?

Go for his legs first then his arms and then his head if he's not already dead.

Be SSj2 Vegeta with the 19 absorption card and spam his L1+O with 3 Jeices on.

Browsed the internet to see if I could find any reviews for BoZ that I haven't read yet. And, of course, the new ones I found were all negative.

I just don't want to support this game if it has so many things wrong with it that it can't even reach a 60 on Metacritic. What would it say about me if I went out, payed full price for, and enjoyed a brawling game with no VS mode, no local multiplayer, only one combo, and awkward controls/camera?

[ShadowDude112]

Any of you fine chaps know how to unlock Ginyu, 2nd, 3rd, and 100% Final Form Freeza? Having a bit of trouble.

Anyone know this? I never got an answer to it.
EDIT: Nevermind, I did. I just wasn't quoted so I didn't see it.

Um, absolutely nothing? Plenty of people are enjoying the game without crumbling in shame about the fact that it doesn't have a local versus mode. You're either very young, or need help.

I form a team of 3 Ki users and 1 support. Pick weaker characters that have more retries, I ran Trunks in armour with 2 Base Gotenks and 18 for support then spam B on the weaker characters then RB+Y on tougher enemies to knock em out of the ring (don't follow up with Y)

If that don't work try playing 4 player coop with the same strategy.

My score wasn't amazing, but I scraped by in the Tenkaichi Budokai. Thanks for the advice guys.

Just going to toss out a thought I had while playing: this type of game would be a perfect way to make non-combatants like Dende and Kibito playable. They could be top tier healers with a glass jaw and weak basic attacks.

The Bosses are highly resistant to Ki based attacks that aren't specials (Kamehameha, Galick Gun etc)

So, after all these years, the only DB game on current gen I have is Raging Blast 2....... And I have around 50 games on XBOX alone.
Really miss the era of PS2, because this is rudiculous. Played the demo and realized that I'm not that hardcore DB fan to have this only
because of DB name on it and playing with Beerus and Whis isn't that much of a thrill.

if you love coop and more than two player simultaneously, you will like this game

Aren't you forgetting about something else which every game needs primarily? In that aspect the game is terribly flawed.

Well, other than story telling games like The Walking Dead (now onto Season 2).

I've asked before but no one really seemed to answer. Is the music still different from the JP and International versions?

I almost for sure thought the music would be the same since the other day I downloaded both the JP and EN demo, and they both had the same music for the menus and first few stages.

Japanese version has the Kikuchi score, as always, and the European and North American versions have a mix of recicled pieces and a few new ones, like it was in the demo(s).

Ok so quick question. Whats the fastest way to earn PP? I know doing missions knowing the special requirements but idk that many? What are some requirements for missions?

[ShadowDude112]

So I beat the mission "Power from Revival" which was a huge bitch to do. Afterwards I got Second Form Freeza. I think I only got a B rank from it. So I don't know how to get 3rd Form Freeza, 100% Final Form Freeza, and Dr. Gero. Some of these missions are actually pretty ridiculous too. Like the Unfortunate Bounty one where you have to beat up like 100 Saibaimen or the one where you have to beat up like 200 Freeza Soldiers. It's like, yeesh. So stupid.

Are you equipping cards? Some of those missions will get much easier if you go back to them after getting some better stat boosts. If a mission is hard in one path, try an alternate one. ALso, do you have any preorder characters? I got my copy from Best Buy, and Vegetto is both powerful & playable in every mission.

Yeah, I got it from Best Buy too. But if I use Vegetto I get less revives in a mission, so that's why I didn't use him in Power from Revival. Also, I used him for the Freeza Soldier one and it still took a while.

I finally gave in and purchased this stupid game. God, I feel so dirty.

Why didn't you just rent it? That why you don't have to waste your money if you think it's "stupid".

He can return it within 7 days or so which is what stores usually have for their returns policy.

Buddy, everyone has games that are "guilty pleasures". Games that aren't so good, but they love them.
