Dragon Ball Z Kakarot sells 1.5 Million Copies in its 1st Week!
- Thread starter Dreazy
- Start date
it was a great start for this type of game. Hoping the second style of this type of game gets a lot more refinement and care. You could clearly tell they rushed it to make deadlines in certain parts of the game.
Now if Xenoverse 3 could get this type of artstyle instead of the plastic shiny models we have.....that would be fantastic.

Loved the game, surprised to see the salt and the pretentious posts, to be honest. It's clearly a game for fans of the series and it absolutely delivered for me and apparently a lot of other people too, the world was beautifully realised and a lot of the little extras, interactions and conversations brought a smile to my face. Happy I ended up buying it.
Pretty great. Much better than Kakarot, they have really memorable setpieces from the show/manga represented with a lot of involvement (QTEs and other types of unique gameplay scenarios) - and a lot of polish.
The fighting system is very fun too, and you actually have a 1v1 duel mode outside the main story where you can play any character.
Also, no pointless huge empty open world - just hub-like iconic locations to traverse through.
Storm 2 and 3 are the best, 4 is pretty disappointing.
Exactly, that's Bamco Formula.
Unreal Engine 4 + anime + mediocrity = easy sales.
For every good anime game they make they release 20+ turds.
It had about as many cinematics from the Storm games and a huge open world. Pretty sure this was a bigger budget than the Storm games. The Storm games were usually all flash, comparatively little substance when it came to the open world. Mostly running from point A to B in a mostly linear map.
Bamco has mastered the art of providing games that are barely good enough to sell massi
As the poster above me said UE4 for nice anime art style graphics and a couple of set pieces you can sell through a trailer + average gameplay + a large install base (PS4/Xbox/PC) = Success
Doubt they are changing this formula up anytime soon...too profitable.
Thats the thing...these are "good" games, but nothing more or less. They put just enough effort into them to appeal to the fans of these IPs.

Kakarot's cutscenes are pretty unpolished and also far less involved and grandiose than the Storm games cutscenes.
The open world was also mostly empty, and the combat system wasn't nearly as refined and didn't feature different game modes and not a lot of playable characters.
Definitely feels like the budget was missing this time around, hell even the graphics and the general polish of the game regarding dub and all that.
Same. Kakarot was far from a perfect game, but in the areas it did well it exceeded than it had any right to. The opening hours where you spent time with Gohan (collecting apples & going fishing) was surprisingly wholesome & very slice of life.
The fact that Akira Toriyama wanted this game to fill in the gaps and cover stuff he either forgot/didn't cover in DBZ felt like organic inclusions (such as the sub quests explaining Launch's absence in DBZ was her trying to locate Tien, or how there was a fad drug that existed in OG Dragon Ball that was the cause of the anthropomorphic animals being prevalent).
I would be down to play a campaign expansion pass that adapted OG Dragon Ball, & it fixes Kakarot's shortcomings.
The marketing was very on point and the game is fun if you love Dragon Ball and wanted a game like this.
At this rate it's on track to outsell GTAV within a year, get wrecked!
Nah that's pretty cool actually. I haven't bought it but think I might when it gets cheaper.

Pirate Warriors games sell millions of copies in just a few weeks, with international sales overwhelming the JP sales? Do we have the sales data on it?
It's not really traditional, but it's definitely an action RPG.
Like, if this site can vote for HZD as one of the most influential RPGs ever solely because it has a skill tree, I can let the devs off with calling this an RPG.
Last sales data said it sold a million in a year with the majority outside of Japan(releasing only on playstation and pc tho). The next title should do pretty well too. Wouldn't be suprised by it getting a million in a month.
They sell enough to have sequels.
We have 4 Pirate Warriors games and MHA Is getting its second title this year.
Basically this.
Happy the game sold well, it's definitely not the half-assed effort some reviews described.
Edit:
When "good" games are considered trash by people who didn't play them because reasons 🤷♀️
Yeah, I have been playing it the last two weeks no stop! Its quality is largely superior to XV1 and XV2.
