I don't think that's unpopular. I never saw anyone complaining about this situation for the sake of it, or complaining without wanting something new. The reason is indeed the overabundance of the exact same thing repeating year after year, for decades, that lasted until 2014. I still don't think I have thanked Dimps enough in saving the Dragon Ball games, so here again, thank you Dimps!Scsigs wrote: ↑Wed Jan 11, 2023 5:32 pm Dragon Ball games following the stories off the anime & manga aren't inherently bad. What gets people to complain about them, though, is the overabundance of DB games that do that & the ones that focus on the Z material primarily rather than covering earlier than that or the expanded media Toei put out. It also depends on how well the stories are adapted into the games & the gameplay systems around them. We have more DB games now that don't focus on the Z story, or put a huge twist on the formula as well, so I think that helps.
If they want to retell something, retell what hasn't been retold yet or that has been retold quite little. Dragon Ball, the movies, the TV Specials and Dragon Ball GT (in detail and expanding them, by showing never-before-seen stuff, which is what Cyber Connect2 did with Trunks DLC and is expected to do the same with Bardock DLC) are all interesting options to me. Either you do that or come up with a new story or twist, those should be the only two available options. Dragon Ball Z has been milked to death, even unborn people know what it is and what happens.
Dragon Ball is an old franchise, so waiting years for a series to come back, monthly mangas and sporadical movies shouldn't be the only way to get new content, games can fill in those blank periods quite nicely. Them also being a source for new material is a very wise decision from all points of view and one I'll always be here for.
