People complain about the games being to similar to past games. Yet they want Budokai 4 or Tenkaichi 4.

It's like the Sonic fanbase, no matter what you do they will complain.

I still debate whether the Sonic fanbase or the *unmentionable fanbase that shows up if you mention a certain show and floods everything*

Anyways I would like lots and lots of spin off OVA's that don't include Goku. Maybe some shorts at the very least.

This may be crazy, but it's possible that these aren't the same fans saying both things.

Maybe they mean it in terms of overall quality, and not structurally. Which is to say that the games have been crappy rehashes, bringing forth no new ideas (or poorly executed ones) for the past few years.
"Those transformations insane,
They wanna turn up hours late and steal the show from the pros who had to die for the name." - Yamcha (DBWTF: Z-Rap 3)

"Over saturation is easy. Just drag the slider to the right and there you are: instant interest. And certainly, the majority of the public likes saturated color images. In fact, if you want to quickly create a popular image, simply over saturate the colors and increase the contrast. While you may not achieve a sophisticated image, you will achieve an image that will please a less demanding audience." - Alain Briot

Hell, a piece of Dragon Ball media where Gogeta or Vegetto ever lose a fight.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.

I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Vegetto looses.
Gogeta looses.

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.

Video games don't really count. Otherwise I got my wish every time I beat up Gogeta as Raditz in Tenkaichi 3.

I think the stories of video games should count somewhat, but that example probably isn't a good one because it adds another victory to Gogeta and Vegetto at the same time. But the first Tenkaichi game had a story where Super 17 (I think) defeats SS4 Gogeta, and I think another one where Cooler defeats Super Gogeta.

I'm not sure that counts either, since it also has SS4 Gogeta lose to... Baby Vegeta :shock:
