While we don't know what happened with Goku or Vegeta their story are probably much better than turning into a kid and into a senior punk. And Miira looks already a lot better than Super #17 or any Evil Dragon. Bebi is cool and that but he is a freaking Tsufuru for God's Sake. I want to like him but then I remember he is a Tsufuru.

Re: Dragon Ball Online News
I believe when people say DBO is a better continuation to Dragonball are referring to how our characters end up. Tenshinhan and Krillin are the new "old masters" while they are completely faggots in GT. Piccolo is like a legend among Namekians while in GT he ended on Hell with a freaking body fighting enemies that shouldn't have bodies. Trunks and Goten open a sword... whatever school while in GT they are, again, faggots. Gohan writes a book, a damn book about ki! In GT he is a completely, once again, faggot.

Re: Dragon Ball Online News
I'd love to know how settling down with a family and continuing to train respectively made Krillin and Tenshinhan flaming homosexuals, but that would get us even more hopelessly off-topic than before.Senzu_Bean wrote:It is true. Don't deny it.

Krillin doesn't train anymore in GT.

Though Kuririn and Tenshinhan become masters, its not as if they will play any bigger role in DBO than they did in DBGT.Senzu_Bean wrote:

Re: Dragon Ball Online News
That is why I said DBO is far superior to GT in terms of characters. Not the actual story we play with some random characters which is probably a mess since it is a game. But it probably can be turned into something far, far superior to GT.Makaioshin wrote:Though Kuririn and Tenshinhan become masters, its not as if they will play any bigger role in DBO than they did in DBGT.Senzu_Bean wrote:

Re: Dragon Ball Online News
Not necessarily. The Pokémon games? Personality-less protagonists, that are whatever you make of them, and yet there is a loose connection of canon in each game. it's entirely possible to have a concrete "story" in DBO, even if we have no main character names to drop.Senzu_Bean wrote:That is why I said DBO is far superior to GT in terms of characters.

Re: Dragon Ball Online News
I know I'm a little late to the party(as far as a comment is concerned) but I can't stop watching this new trailer. Why can't Raging Blast 2 look like this? I'm so pumped for this...it better come to the US or I will cry.
...Wait what are you doing? Are you still reading this? I finished what I had to say, why don't you move on to the next post?

...the words were "in GT". And "GT" isn't even a word, really.
Anyway, now that I know this game is free to play, I'm even more anxious for a stateside release. Could they still charge for it?

Prerendered cinematics always look better than actual gameplay. It's the advantage of being prerendered.SparkyPantsMcGee wrote:I know I'm a little late to the party(as far as a comment is concerned) but I can't stop watching this new trailer. Why can't Raging Blast 2 look like this?
Re: Dragon Ball Online News
It can however show capability. If you've got a really poor looking cinematic opening, it doesn't exactly foreshadow a good game. If it's well choreographed, animated, and generally fun to watch, then it shows time and effort being put into the project.Rocketman wrote:Prerendered cinematics always look better than actual gameplay.

It shows the developers are actually taking it seriously, try comparing this with the Sparking! sequel openings, NEO, METEOR, Raging Blast, any of them. Poor production value shows that the game will (most likely) suck.
This however is gorgeous, which is a great indication that the game will also be a blast.
Seriously, you're harping on a game you haven't even played. While I'd let it slide if you were ripping on Burst Limit 2, or Raging Blast 2 (basically expansions of their predecessors), you've got basically no ground to stand on while arguing against this game.
We just have to wait and see.

Re: Dragon Ball Online News
I would agree if I was bitching about the actual game part of the game. I don't like all the flavor stuff - the backstory for the most part, everybody being a potential Super Saiyan, the Majin race, the fact that everybody who whines that Tenkaichi or Budokai don't have enough originality come into this thread and squeal over Cronoku (who is himself massively unoriginal) and Saibaccolo using the same exact freaking attacks every single DBZ game since they were introduced uses.Rory wrote:Seriously, you're harping on a game you haven't even played.

There is nothing new to this game. It's so unoriginal that its entire gimmick (after "create your own character who looks exactly like one of the cast!") is based around revisiting the series again and doing shit there again. Just look at the enemy pictures posted - it's all robot or miscolored versions of Dragonball characters.
Hell, look at the other posters or whatnot - HEY it's Korin's Land! Remember that? Huh? Huh? Nobody even bothered to remove that pillar in the last three hundred years either, so it all looks just like you left it!
Attack fot he Saiyans and earlier, Buu's Fury did the same thing. How many times are we going to revisit Pilaf's wrecked castle? How many times are we going to fight Cyborg Tao Pai Pai?
And the icing on the shit cake for me is that it's not even the real characters now, it's mary-Sue self-inserts running around going SS, ripping off centuries-old moves and going back in time to beat up the real cast.

At this point all we have is, like Rocketman said, the flavor stuff. Please accordingly allow people who don't like the flavor stuff to say so. No one's saying the gameplay will be terrible. But I can fully say at this point that I'm not enjoying the premise, aesthetic, or known plot elements.
Re: Dragon Ball Online News
I've yet to hear praise for anything other than good art direction, the fact that this isn't a fighting game and the several indications we've had that this game will be unlike the others, in both genre and quality. I love the Toriyama art, and the interesting ideas being put into this game. Nobody is saying this game is definitely great, because we've yet to play it.Cipher wrote:But it's okay that everyone else is praising the hell out of a game they haven't even played?Rory wrote:Seriously, you're harping on a game you haven't even played.

Yea I know, I was comparing the video to the prerendered cinematics of the past Tenkaichi games(including Raging Blast).Rocketman wrote:Prerendered cinematics always look better than actual gameplay.

I've seen the in game graphics and they are nice but I think they could do better. However, this is a free to play MMO so I'm not going to be picky.

Yeah, I'm intrigued by the setting and the new elements (official guidebook, please), but not that hopeful regarding the actual plot.with all the caveats of "Make sure this allows us to build an MMORPG around it, and work in as many old character cameos as possible." The end result can only be something really, really stupid and contrived. I like some of the premise elements, such as the character epilogues and the Makaioshin (if that turns out to be true), but as a solid story? It doesn't look like it will hold up at all. We'll have to wait for the finished product, but that's where I stand right now.
Ah, well, it's far enough in the future that I don't really mind that... Stuff happened. That world is now a different place.Online feels like Dragon Quest with a worse plot and some Dragon Ball cameos thrown in. And that's not just because it's an RPG. It's the entire aesthetic.
