Man, I don't understand why Bandai Namco doesn't go full AAA budget and production value with Dragon Ball (or one piece etc.).
They (series) deserve it, and I also think it would pay off for them. I will have my fun with the game, but there are typical cut corners, like missing voice acting in some situations, many cheap cutscenes where characters are just standing around, with very limited animations etc.
This game could have been so much more exciting with a bigger budget and higher production values. Also more time for the developers, so they really can polish everything to the best results.

Took Friday off. Along with having Monday off for the holiday, it's going to be a nice weekend of gaming. Looking forward to this.
That's pretty much what I'm expecting and hoping for. How's the sound? Also are there many sidequests? I'm asking because I wonder how this would be as a podcast game. I'm thinking I'll turn on a podcast and knock some sidequests out but when the story stuff's going on I'll just listen like normal.
Pro. They're not absurdly long or anything they're just long and frequent enough for them to be an annoyance.
Kickuchi's score is amazing. The new material not so much. Very average and some are borderline annoying.
Side quests are sparse and short.. I think I did all of them and until Namek there's like 11 of them. You can find some events by exploring too that are not considered side quests but they're not very rewarding. Like, I randomly found the Pilaf gang at the entrance of a cave saying that it's full of gold that they can't get because of monsters.. So I went a mined it. Not really rewarding since the economy system in the game is super barebones.
That's said I think it work pretty well as a podcast since it has grinding elements and flying around is admittedly pretty fun.

There're intermission periods between the sagas where you you can grind and level up and meet old characters that weren't in the original series (like Launch).. Some pretty fun fanservice.
Naruto Storm and Asura's Wrath are ps3 and they look 4 generations beyond that. So I disagree.
:)
I gotta try to race through the back half of Katana ZERO by Friday but I am *very* excited for this
Did people forget that half of Storm 3's cutscenes were people just standing there and talking too? It was the same deal as here from what I'm seeing
It came with 50 playable characters that all had unique animations and combos, Versus mode, online, and interactive QTEs. And the scenes they did decide to animate were mind blowing and even surpassed the anime.
It was easier to forgive.
This has none of that.
Man not sure if I'm going to pick this up tomorrow now. CC2 must be running on a strict ass budget
The second Tien fires that first shot, not a single character animates. This is incredible.
Man this sucks.
But then you see this and I know CC2 get it. Wtf is BandaiNamco doing with this. It's a huge property. Give them the budget for it
Huh? I don't get it? They flinch, Cell gets hit and then android 18 runs away?
Edit: Anyone know if you can turn off the damage numbers?
99% of them are in the trailers or promo scans.
They also pale in comparison with Naruto and Asura. And they are not interactive you just have a fight and then a cutscene.
A far cry from stuff like Sasuke vs Itachi that had different cinematic qte that adapted to your actions.
Holy shit at these video, lmao that's bad!
look at what CC2 did on ps3, there's no excuse here...
No impact, no dynamic, uninteresting angles, barely animated....
I'm sure people will buy this game for the adventure and gameplay rather than fidelity in the story, but even that looks boring as fuck, i'm glad i didn't pre-order this

Same. I can see it's not amazing but this is what I was expecting from an anime JRPG. I can't wait.
I went from about to pre-order the Ultimate Edition to not going to buy it until it's on sale after seeing these videos.
Storm 3 (and especially Storm 4) were leagues ahead of this. Disappointing, why do dbz & op get shafted despite being more popular?
That ss4 goku tho a man of culture
man this needs to be available now.I need to play
How would spending 10x the budget on series that sell well either way pay off for them? This game doesn't look like it needs a AAA budget to fix some of the issues.
oh my...

How? Especially in regards to Ultimate Ninja Storm 4. 3/4ths of that games' story mode consists of stills from the Anime until they decided to animate the cutscenes themselves again closer to the end. Plus, both of these games are almost entirely linear (4 IS entirely linear), with 3 only having almost completely non-interactive, small-scale, empty areas in between the fights. Comparing that to a role-playing game with tons of side quests and a big, open world seems
disingenuous.
But even IF you want to compare those games, Ninja Storm 3 has TONS of scenes that look exactly like the ones posted here:
These games were always carried by the incredible production values in their main fights and that seems to continue here. I really don't understand how you can be so surprised by that if you played their Naruto series.
I want that manga dimensions Vegeta š I got a base Goku one.
Yeah this seems like a max $40 pickup for me now. Xenoverse 2 can still scratch my DBZ itch for a bit longer.
Some kind of embargo just lifted, right? In my country websites are already sharing impressions.
