That sounds great on paper, but I can almost guarantee that it would get tedious the farther you get. Also, a DBS game would be difficult to make due to the major fights taking place on one planet or location, rather than the constant adventure/location hopping in DBZ/DB (although, the most recent chapters of the DBS manga have been having the characters move around a lot, so there's that).

it seems to me that they finished their story battles and then started the open world stuff. Then the release schedule was too tight so everything not including the main story is pretty barbones and while it is fun to explore some hours and see what it has to offer, most of it is there, but not well implemented and impactful. hunting dinosaurs for example... this could have been really fun... instead you can just fly over them and clunkily shoot ki blasts. i love the game, but it had so much more potential. even worse, the systems and open world stuff that's already there has way more potential without even much effort. Edit: got distracted and forgot my point. I guess they didn't want you to get these ridiculous amounts of xp gifted, but earned through the open world... they had no time to implement it as planned so now you just get random xp. I have that guess, because some fights are really imbalanced aswell. For me the Radditz fight felt way harder than any fights following until vegeta... and even the vegeta fight... first one is easy, but at least a little challenging... his ape form is down in about 2 combos because it only has 10k life unlike the fight BEFORE where he had about 70-80k life. The balance is all over the place.

The problem with that is that the casual player of today would be completely pissed if the game did that to them. They would complain the game is broken and say that is now unbeatable because it was poorly made. Just look at people complaining about Assassin's Creed Odyssey gating story missions with a level requirement. A lot of people would say it was made like that to encourage people buying the Exp boost, but if you do some side content here and there you are always waaaay past the level requirements.

they left out its over 9000, vegetas final flash against cell, gokus instant transmission kamehameha against cell, when Gohan catches cells destructo disks, super trunks, and a plethora of more iconic scenes. But yet we have fishing

Solar flared Nappa, whaled on him then blew him away with a ki pulsing him away for that quick ki regen, krillin kicks him back then Tri Beam-Masenkoing him into the ground and a z-comobo finish was THE most hype moment for me XD. Just experimenting with that stuff is alot of what keeps me playing and enjoying the story, haha

Thanks for the review. You confirmed all of my early judgments of the game. Because of my completionist mentality, I fly around and grab all the items and orbs I can, only to realize it's not that big of a deal in terms of progression. Nonetheless, I appreciate playing through of all my favorite DBZ moments.

Excelente análise Luís, parabéns :D The top tier cutscenes only highlight how bad the other cutscenes look by comparison. It's such a stark contrast that it's impossible to ignore, although the actual character models and backgrounds look good and appealing. No difficulty settings is a bummer and the sidequests suck but I still want to play it. Even just for those gorgeous cutscenes of all the key story points of my all time favorite anime.

This really should have been an original Dragon Ball game. Imagine how much they could lean in on the adventure aspect of the series with that. Meeting Bulma, master roshi, your first tournament etc. It would have been great. Amazing review but I'm so glad I passed on this game. I really hope the Dragon Quest team can make a turn based dragon ball game or something. They'd be perfect for it.

Getting a harder difficulty would actually be welcoming

I think the game is ok I wish that they animed and gave greater spotlight on the must impactful scenes like the light grenade and the final flash scene wasn’t even a cut scene which pisses me off. I’m like a good 20 hours in and I’m not regretting my purchase but I’m not happy with it. This game could have been better but right now it’s just ok. Honestly I wish it was more difficult and I wish cc2 did there thing with the boss fights. I hate quick time events but only if there done right. That’s why I love playing the storm story line. But overall I agree it’s good but not great.

I'm not gonna lie I had a hard time with buu at the end goku was level 67 and I only had 21 vitadrink health things and I never cooked. I had to replay that fight 5 times before I got his pattern down. Maybe go through it again using barely and health bottles?

I think my verdict on the game is this: For a dragonball game, it's pretty alright, but as a game its pretty lacking It feels like a lot of its systems are just there to say "we have systems", but don't actually flow together in any super fun way, all of the side activities feel pointless. I would love to have more meaningful content and side activities. Hell even have a little mini game with Chi-Chi making you dinner for your stat boost meals would be fun. Have the red ribbon armies basses be little dungeons you can fight through Have the fishing only be done with bait and make the bait a little more rare. Something. Not to mention the constant feeding of XP makes it feel like it's holding your hand. It reminds me of that one Final Fantasy game that was intentionally made to be watered down for westerners because the Japanese thought we were too stupid for RPGs. Like it feels like a fake RPG. You know how in your previous impressions video you felt like you ran short on orbs? I never had that issue because the game drip feeds you stuff at such a slow pace, you never actually get to have any choice in your abilities because its just going to give you what the character had at that time. It would have been nice to have more character customization in terms of like accessories or abilities. Not saying piccolo should toss out a Kamehameha, but something better than the boring character building they gave you. In terms of stylization CC2 did a pretty okay job. I wish there were more of those hyper animated scenes (Like Tien holding off Cell with his Tri Beam is a badass moment why wasn't that given a nice paint job. ) but It just makes more of the more wooden animations feel flat. Not to mention that wish some of the boss battles had those mid fight QTE's like in the Storm series. I get the bosses have cinematic attacks,but it would have been nice to have more.

If I may I agree with some of your points and disagree with a lot more. Anyone who has played a cyber connect to game should have expected that not all of these cutscenes were going to be stellar and magnificent I don't know why anyone had that expectation in their head that everything would be movie cutscenes.That being said I do have a problem with the numerous amount of the skippable dialogue anime cutscenes that have been in these games for several years now including the storm series. In terms of the combat it can be very much like Xenoverse in hectic times which I don't like however what for me saves it is that unlike that game your characters feel much more responsive fast and fluid Xenoverse to me ever since the first game your characters feel like they're being literally weighted down by a truck. Xenoverse has never felt fast and fluid to me. People say this game is lacking combat depth I disagree to a degree when you're in a boss fight you do need to know what you're doing You cannot just spam buttons and the game makes you balance offense and defense however you don't have access to a lot of combos You have more access to combo hits as you go down the skill tree. When you think about it however Xenoverse only has two three basic combos per character whether that is CAC or the base roster of characters.I don't know why for the life of me people think that the combat of Xenoverse is in depth I think it's atrocious and even though this game only gives you one basic combo instead of three I feel that it is more in depth because it forces you to balance your offense and your defense whereas Xenoverse if you want to just spam super attacks you are more than welcome to the slow net code and the online play makes that almost the only way to play. You're more than welcome to spam super attacks here as well but you will die.The AI doesn't need improving and the game definitely needs an overall difficulty bump as well as endgame content if they want people to reach the ridiculous nonsense level cap of 250 but if you eat enough meals to boost your stats I personally have been able to take out quite a few of the level 170 enemies and I am only with Goku Gohan and Vegeta around level 120 a piece. The story mode does give you an absurd amount of EXP but if you want to take on the villainous enemies you are going to have a far tougher time if you don't grind out some of the side quests and quite frankly even though they're repetitive if you're just not willing to do the side quests and do the story and blitz through it as fast as you can Not only will you be severely underleveled despite doing the story missions but you're missing out on more than half of the game So while the side quests are repetitive I do think they're worth doing when it comes down to it there is only one game that has done side questing correctly it has been the king of side questing and I don't expect any game in this decade maybe even the next to top that and I am of course speaking of the Witcher 3.I don't think any developer is ever going to do side questing the way that they did where every quest is meaningful and interesting. There are some fights that are not in the game and I don't know why that is but given the fact that they did so well with 90% of the story and retold it's so beautifully unlike anything DBZ has ever seen I'm going to let that go as long as the DLC content is quite frankly fantastic.overall I haven't had this much fun with dragon Ball z since Budokai 3 and that is my honest opinion and those have somewhat more in-depth combat systems but not by much. When taking the nostalgia glasses off and replaying some of the older games they're just as repetitive as this game in terms of combat sure you have more combos but every character has the same basic layout and some characters even have the same supers.it's a fighting game to a degree and therefore two a degree it's going to be repetitive but for the people just smashing buttons of course you're not going to get anywhere you do need to block and Dodge etc. All of this being said the game for me gets an 8 out of 10 I'm not so blind to give it a perfect score it's not a perfect game but I think it's personally one of the best dragon Ball z games ever created in terms of its basic platform it's got a lot to stand on because it's a JRPG they can practically add in the entirety of the super saga if they wanted to. I guess I'm one of those fans that knew what cyber connect 2 was going to do because I played all the storm games therefore I expected most of the cutscenes not to be movie cutscenes I think for some reason a lot of fans thought the entire game were going to be stellar movie like cutscenes and that's just not going to be the case. mind you I do wish that there were more of the movie styled cutscenes as they're absolutely gorgeous but as of right now for me DBZ Kakarot gets an 8 out of 10 but is it worth a 9 or 10 Right now no there's not enough content but in time we'll have to see what they come out with.

@@18ps3anos I really don't think it's that average when you compare it to something with the budget of red Dead redemption or even the Witcher of course it's going to be average in comparison to those games The Witcher 3 is the king of side questing and I think they will remain the king of side questing for decades to come and I literally mean decades to expect this game to have the same level of polish I think fans were a little in over their heads and it's the same thing with the cutscenes anyone who actually knew cyber connect 2 should know that even the storm games had the same problem everyone expected there to be movie cutscenes every single second and there wasn't. Fans should have expected most of the cutscenes were going to be lower quality dialogue the typical trend in anime games in the last five six years type of cutscenes with these super over the top spectacle cutscene sprinkled in. If anything in my opinion I find Xenoverse more average than this Xenoverse is such a cop out concept and it was executed and milked to death for DLC so poorly all they gave people were character skins and what did people do they just continued to use their CAC's because the net code is so awful in that game The only way to win is to use the same five moves out of the monumental move pool given in the entire game and spam them to death.while you can spam your moves in this game it's not recommended and you will die You need to block and dodge and counter in Xenoverse 90% of the player base ranked or otherwise simply spams their super attacks. For me Xenoverse was the ultimate cash grab easy to milk and pump out DLC of low quality while never fixing the online net code.this game doesn't have those problems therefore I find it to be the superior game and quite frankly finally anyone who thought the side quests were not going to be repetitive is out of their minds no developer is going to top the Witcher 3 and ever since that game came out I'm finding more and more that people are expecting every game with side quests to be as top quality as The Witcher it's not going to happen If anything I think it's a testament to just how God damn good The Witcher 3 is but it shouldn't be used as the end all be all.

I loved this game very much, It was kind of show simulator that I wanted for many years. I initially didn’t like the combat , later got used to it. I liked the dodging mechanics and variety of attacks from each opponents , It was fun. I would like to play early dragon ball saga as kid goku and krillin in similar style. DB is full of adventures , so there is plenty of room to add many interesting side quests, hangout’s, mini games, quests and lot of fighting in it.

Hopefully it's a testing game and maybe with feed back they will make similar games but improvement

this game has actually become my fav DBZ game made, i think its a top tier game, the combat is a bit shallow but its also a lil deeper than most people realize since theres specific combos the game doesnt teach you, if you dont look in the tutorial section you will never learn about it, so if you havnt looked in them do it bc theres some stuff you are never told, tutorials are hidden tho in the system menu

Thank you for finally giving a well thought out and honest review. While I don't think it's horrible and even some of the most minor fights are given beautiful animation (Goku vs Recoome in particular), seeing everyone say it's a perfect game despite it having some of the same (if not worse) problems of other anime games started to get on my nerves. Ik people are still hyped and excited, but they're definitely holding it to too high of a regard.

Ótima review como sempre! Parabéns!

4:00 For example: Vegeta vs first form freiza, nah But we gotta animate that recoom moment before Goku beats him to look godly tho

Globku you are speaking the truth!! Yes the combos and all that are simple, but the enemies are so fun to fight, especially when there are multiple! And I can't deny the fact that a lot of the open world stuff is pointless haha. An overworld that complemented the style of Dragon Ball would've been a lot better. Not saying the overworld is bad, in fact I oftentimes get lost exploring it, but there's a lot of room for improvement. There may be a lot holding this game back from being the perfect open world Dragon Ball experience, but I still found it a blast to play!! There were a lot of quality shifts in this game and I think your review perfectly shows that while also showing the amazing upsides to this game as well!!

The part I hated they skipped os when everyone was putting their all into helping gohan defeat cell with the kamehameha. It showed it took EVERYONE to take out cell. It showed without team effort the planet would've been destroyed.

Thank you globku, i've been waiting for this video

I feel like this is the definitive way to *RE* experience the DBZ story in an interactive form. With that being said, we should expect more games to come that'll create new stories and such (unless they make another Xenoverse game to milk)

It's like a fusion of the old Legacy of Goku GBA games and the Budokai Tenkaichi ones in PS2. Really liked the game. Haven't experienced DBZ like this since I was a kid. Good stuff. Still... I could not stop thinking about how it could have been so much better. A more refined combat system, character personalization, better side stories... things that could have made the game a masterpiece. Don't know if they just got lazy or if they had time problems, but it feels like a huge wasted opportunity. No room for a sequel and no chance of going over the DBZ story AGAIN anytime soon. We'll have to wait a good amount of time before we get THAT DBZ game.

I'm currently new to dragon ball and honestly I've had a lot of fun with Kakarot. I'm simultaneously watching Z (since I have not seen it yet) and playing through it as well and honestly as a new fan to the series who's doing both I genuinely do enjoy it. I definitely can agree with every flaw however, sometimes it does feel padded out and corners have been cut, but all things considered I have played way worse anime video games. I do not believe it is worth the 60 dollars it's being sold for however, I picked it up while it was on sale for about 30-40 I can't recall and I think that is a much more worthy price. I can recommend it on sale, but not for full price.

This is a great start. The next one which is probably super should be amazing

Man I loved every second of this game and I've played just about every single DBZ and DB and DBS game out there and I still get chills on most the scenes in this game. It's basically the Legend of Goku games just remade and I LOVED it. I must have played those games combined like 30 times maybe more. So i can't imagine how many times I'm going to play this. Can't wait to get all the achievements for this game. Good review, don't agree with the score but it's his personal opinion.

Apparently the top-tier cutscenes are pre-rendered. On consoles this isn't a problem as the output is 1080p, but on pc, where you can go upwards of 1080p, it is, since these scenes are only available in 1080p, leading to a drop in quality. Other cutscenes are rendered in-game, but don't have the same animation quality. This would also explain a lot, since in these top-tier cutscenes there are a lot more effects than are actually in the game, take the clothing for example: in the top-tier cutscenes they move along with the wind, but not in the actual game, or any other cutscene. Normally this would greatly subtract from the experience, but luckily, these amazing cutscenes are present where it matters most.

Even as a hardcore DB fan I can see the game is ok at best. It lacks in many things. The side quests are either repetitive or just plain boring. The flight system is really cool and all, it's a nice world, but I wish they commited to being an RPG. I can enjoy and distract myself with the game easily, but I have to look beyond that for legit criticism.

@@ufazig let's be realistic here any game with side quests is going to be repetitive nothing is going to top The Witcher 3 everyone expects side quests to be like The Witcher 3 because the Witcher 3 did it in such a monumental way where every side quest actually was meaningful and no game to my knowledge has ever been able to come close to the Witcher 3 side questing abilities. I do think this review is a little harsh and I respect the heck out of the content creator where he is right is that the game does lack endgame content there's no purpose to grind up the level 250 which is the rumored maximum level there's not enough content to get you there.The side quests are linear they are repetitive but as I said I'm going to let it slide because this is not the only game that has linear repetitive side questing every other game in the universe has it and nothing is going to top the witcher. So the side questing honestly doesn't bother me in terms of the cutscenes that massively bothers me there are these great moments much like in the storm series where the cutscenes are animated so beautifully and the rest of the game are these dialogue cutscenes That I have a problem with however I can't really complain about it because I know what cyber connect to does and what they're known for and I expected to cut scenes to be as such in the interim. This game is not perfect by any means and I am a hardcore fan but let me tell you if they add more end game content to this game over the course of time I can easily see myself loving this game more than the beloved Budokai 3. As it stands now and it's present state I would make this game equal to Budokai 3 I have not had this much fun with dragon Ball z since that game So that says a lot.

@@mattmanley7118 Yes, RPGs tend to have that problem, save for the witcher 3 that manages quite the feat. But I guess kakarot really regressed in quest design. Fetching quests and talking quests? This is free MMO level. And the immersion in the game is not sufficient, especially with the "semi-transition" during fights. I guess someone said it better than me, they should have made the side quests being the movies. It adds more to the game without getting repetitive. I also think we should be able to fight and free roam at the same time, like an action RPG. Fighting dinos and other creatures. And of course, getting rid of the many loading screens. They could've done better. But it's not a bad game by any means, especially for a fan. I can't say for the future though. Obviously DB super will be DLC. But we'll have to wait and see. Game has a lot of potential with later additions, but the base game is lacking beyond the main quests.

For what it is I enjoy it, however one thing I want is more characters to play as, they have this thing where you can revive old enemies and defeat them and afterwards it implies these guys will change their ways and be good, but then there is no pay off besides a soul emblem, missed opportunity to have the revived villains become playable, obviously they can't be used in the story mode but that's alright, all I want to do is fly around and kick butt as Raditz (my favorite character) But besides this I still have fun, sure not everything is to my liking but hey you can't hit gold on the first attempt, if this game gets a sequel I guarantee it'll probably be one of the top 5 best Dragon Ball games ever

If you want a challenge I would try doing the villainous fights when you are close to 10 levels weaker than them . It makes for a fun challenge to be honest and that’s exactly what I did . It made things extremely satisfying instead of a cakewalk .

Damn dude, you are fast. Well I only started after your first video though, I beat Frieza, currently playing as Vegeta in the Intermission to the Androids... this is game is amazing. Aaaand not so amazing with all the fetch quests, side missions, easy combat, repetitive, etc... But hey it's DBZ.

I disagree taking the nostalgia blinders off and recently replaying Storm 4 it can be just as repetitive as this game combat wise You have three combos just like you do in Xenoverse to my knowledge the storm games used to have four combos apiece and they removed one I believe it's the left and right combo. The storm games have become extremely repetitive to me but for their time they were absolutely ridiculous in terms of quality but I don't think those games are any better than this game I think that these are actually on an even playing field both tell the story very well Storm 4 being the ultimate retelling but the combat is the same the buttons are exactly the same as this game in terms of one button is used to do your limited combos and special moves I don't think there's anything more special about the storm games than there is this game. That being said fighting games by their nature whether in depth or not are repetitive and that's what the challenge is how do you break that repetitiveness it's very hard to do.

I'm loving the game so far, but it does hurt my feelings when iconic DBZ scenes get omitted. The fact that Vegeta's Final Flash scene is missing is unforgiveable!

So do we need a new combat system for future 3D area DBZ games

I agree that there are some parts missing from the game, as you said the trunks vs cell fight isn’t there, but just saying the over 9000 thing was basically a blooper that they ran with in the English version

Thanks for the honest review. We need a top tier Dbz game!

Dragon Ball fighting games always tend to blow me away, they've always done a great job with these

im currently on the frieza saga and your review is spot on, the exp should have been focused more on the side quest and the random fights instead of gaining xp from boss fights because it would make the player lazy on the game play and be like “ why side quest when i can just beat the boss and gain large xp” but so far i am enjoying the game tho

Why no FINAL FLASH vs Cell??????????????????l

I think a good way to do this game right is to make either "New Game+" or a "Power Level" system for difficulty so you can raise the power level of the game to increase difficulty, make AI smarter and add cool downs to certain things such as special moves and items.

You didn't mention dealing stun damage to get enemies in a "break" state where all your super attack get a cutscene and melee supers can be done from an distance so knockbacks can be followed by melee super that can knock enemies into mountains then finish with a beam super.

I think now that we have played the Z storyline a fair amount of times now they should make a Dragon Ball game with a Super storyline or with even both

So can you replay missions after beating the game? Like story missions so i can watch cutscenes again?

So like i don’t know if I did all the side quests or not. So like I beat the story and mira. I did every side quest I could EXPECT for the one where bulma has me racing in that robot. I started it but it was too hard at first so I gave up on it. Now no more side quest are popping up and if I check the story menu, it says that some side quest are “??????” Meaning I didn’t complete it. But up to every arc and even after beating Mira no more are popping up. I only didn’t do that one and I can’t go back to do it. My main objective says “ complete a timed race with goku” I did that and it’s not counting so like I hope this update coming with the time machine will allow me to go back and do it

Does anybody know where the dragonball is in yamcha hidden spot it shows on world map but when I go there it's not on the map and I've look up and nobody has there drangonball located there and the game is still new so theres nothing about it

Thank god I have two saves but I still lost a lot of data and gonna have to catch up again tomorrow- I was doing some side quest with goku, and i beat it. then i switched characters to trunks and did a side quest for him. But the Side quest i did with goku brought back some villains, so when i went to that location with trunks it froze the game entirely. So i cannot use my up to to date file. Other than that I love the game, but it needs a lot of fixing. It felt rushed :( (7.5/10)

I recall being very skeptical of the combat system in Kakarot thanks to its simplicity, especially thanks to the Xenoverse games, but Kakarot felt like a pleasant surprise. I think a huge part of it is that the fights don't overstay their welcome, unlike the Xenoverse games (when I'm not cheesing the game), I'm totally fine with simple combat as long as things don't take too long. Except that time I thought I could take on the higher level villainous enemies so soon, that took forever, and I admit it was a terrible idea. Lmao

Damn, sounds like I should just wait for it to be on sale. That's fine, I can wait on it for a while.

@@blkjohnnybravo3506 in my opinion, it is not a good game, it has a lot of flaws and a lot of time-wasting things like excessively long cutscenes (I'm talking about the bad animated ones). People is saying that they hope the dlc is good or hope they got a lot of dlcs and that's not something good. The game is a week old and people hoping for dlc is not a good sign because they are justifying the game is now bad with that. Like I said, in my opinion it is a huge letdown that nostalgia can't carry

In this video i agree with everything you said, personally i wish the game gave more for the food bonus so it could actually be more useful or just gave more types of side quests. Using globku's letter scale i'd give it a B. If it was just better in the submissions and the actual rpg aspect of it, it'd be an A in my book. Then again i am bias cause i am a fan of DB.

The only thing that kept combat fun for me was the step vanish. I’d throw a few hits step vanish and reset the combo and do this infinitely in different ways comboing in different supers and ki blast. Maybe I put too much into it lol but it definitely made combat fun to the point where I sought out all enemies to stylishly beat their ass.

Tbh i LOVED kakarot everything about it I LOVED i didnt really mind all the side quests i LOVED every LITTLE BIT of this game

I gave the game a 7 out of 10. Like you said the game skips important scenes like GOHAN going ssj. But what really got me is in one of the trailers you clearly see vegeta charging the final flash and I thought FINALLY a game recreates that scene in game form which has never been done in any dbz game with cutscenes. Well get to that part and nothing... it was at 8 out of 10 but it lost a whole point for skipping a scene they had in a trailer clearly. Someday I will get vegeta's final flash in game cutscene form or at least I hope 🥺😒

Things that were a huge letdown for me(cinematic means top tier cutscenes) - No cinematic Kaioken x3 Goku vs Vegeta scene - No cinematic 18 breaking Vegetas arm scene - No cinematic Goku self sacrifice against Cell exploding - No cinematic Vegeta Final Flash vs Cell scene - No Super Trunks vs Cell - No Sword vs Finger Goku & Trunks cinematic scene - No Goten vs Trunks fight(not a problem just it’d be fun) - No Future Trunks story(history of Trunks special arc) - No cinematic Vegeta going SSJ - No cinematic Trunks cutting Frieza up nor Going SSJ - Bosses are too easy

Can confirm playing on an SSD on PC the loading times have not been a hindrance at all.

I just started playing it again after the new dlc dropped and I’m like 39 hours in and I love it

I have long thought about a Dragon Ball Z game where you play through the game as Goku like this. But with 1 major difference. Letting the player make story choices, like "What if Goku didn't let go of Raditz's tail?" or "What if Goku spared Frieza and brought him to Earth?"

Agree with most thing, just finished the cell saga but I am still really enjoying the game. My main problem is overused narration or just text descriptions which would would have been better as an actual cutscene.

i think the most fun part for me was finally maxing every board, i had to grind villanous enemies for secret to success items and i played all the dlc to unlock every soul emblem and after as much optimisation as possible i did it and now all i have to do is fly from point A to B and on the way there i start drowning in orbs and money and XP.

also another way to increase difficulty is to not use auto transforms because late game is balanced to expect this.

I noticed some censorship in the game. For example: When Gohan goes Oozaru against Vegeta, when Gohan reverts from that form he is wearing pants. In the original, he was butt naked. I understand why THAT was removed from the game but then you look at another example: In the Buu arc, I remember Buu's dog getting shot. But in the game, Mr. Satan gets shot. It's little things like this that bug me.

Not a huge dragon ball fan but I love this game it looks beautiful on the Xbox one x still playing it and I think is a 8.7 easy but I’m enjoying the game so much

Challenge? I didn't even realize how to use healing items until I unlocked senzu beans

Don’t forget This is a new game updates and dlc can come out to improve it

So to make this a better game they have to: introduce a difficulty mode or make the enemies harder to beat, make the side missions, and activities more fun in the long run (not just a novelty the first play time,) reduce the amount of loading screens, make the items useful by scaling their effects, make the side quests have more varying activities instead of just, fetch, fight or follow the trail of people... Anything that I missed?

After beating the story yesterday. I realized the rpg system doesnt make sense at all. No difficulty settings + scaling enemies + healing items = easy story -> Vegeta gohan goku have highest levels because of story exp -> each character shares experience points (not just the ones in your current party) -> enemies scale to highest level character (not just the ones in your current party) -> lower characters deal only 1 damage to higher scaled enemies -> use higher leveled character (goku gohan vegeta) to beat enemies and level up lower level characters (because exp is shared) --> higher level character get exp as well (because exp is shared) so will always stay highest level -> enemies keep scaling to high leveled characters (goku, gohan, vegeta) = flawed Rpg system loop -> no point having other characters until level cap of 250 is reached.

What other mini games, side quests or gimicks other games had that were really fun/ added to the game experience/ or seemed to really tie in with the rest of the game? My nomination would be Gwent from The Witcher 3. It was a simple but fun card game that was weaved into the game's entirety. You could solve problems by playing Gwent. You could collect cards from various locations and people. There was even a tournament that made it feel like the deck that you made was worth building. Most importantly however, I found myself wanting to play Gwent over and over again, just as much as the main game. It was extremely fun, but completely optional. What do you guys think? What's your Gwent in a game (didn't have to be a card game.) Have you tried the standalone Gwent version on PC and iOS?

I’ll wait for a price drop.Im a HUGE dragon ball Z fan I’ve watched it in the United States and Mexico.if I was 10 years old this would be the perfect game for me as it looks what the Legacy of Goku games and Buu’s fury were trying to accomplish back in the day.

I hope they add super. Z might be a better story, but super seems more fun to play as a video game. Playing the tournament would’ve been dope

I think we fall mostly on the same page, with the exception that i don't like the combat as much. There's some cool stuff and ideas in there, but it degenerates into the same hyperarmor/infinite stamina stuff pretty fast and it really breaks the flow of the fight and makes most fights look and feel pretty samey.

Are any of the achievements missable?

I’m honestly happy with the game i do agree with the lack of some content like the world tournament and also not allowing us to be able to have access to fusion gotenks and vegito were great fun moments but it’s a fun experience i think they really know how to capture the cinematics of combat and cutscenes. If this was xenoverse I’d still be playing it 👍

I haven't beaten the game yet. But I'm enjoying it very much!! It is pure nostalgia. They do drop the ball on some key parts from the anime though.

A Very big minus for me is non having a "super vegeta" form as a normal transformation for vegeta. Seriously game is a action rpg so if you train and achive new form then its obvious that is no problem to use it... but no insted of that vegeta have normal ssj and you can play as a super vegeta only in two fights with cell and which they last only couple of minutes thats really pissed me of in kakarot... why not make piccolo ultimate namek fusion form available only with c17 and 1form cell or ssj2 gohan only with cell and one fight with buu... yeaaa its gonna be great ;) im looking forward to it!
