It doesn't seem good but fuck it, still buying it. The beta was enjoyable and it seems like a fun thing to play with my friends for a bit on our game nights.

I actually had fun with that for short bursts of 4 player stuff with friends. Even had a 4 way PS2 adapter.
Yeah, totally expected crappy scores. Well at least it looks like it's going to end up higher than the shitty J-Stars.
Shonen Jump deserves better than this. I wanted this to be good, but the writing was on the wall
Yikes. I didn't actually expect it to be as bad as it (visually) looks. I guess in this case you can judge a book by its cover. :D

Hey OP, our review at MSPU is live. We'd love it if you could add it above: https://mspoweruser.com/jump-force-is-a-disappointment-for-fighting-game-fans-and-anime-fans-alike/
These scores suck. I was actually looking forward to this early on after the E3 vid. But gradually started losing interest.
I would be down
I would be down
- If it had an 'anime' looking shader or looked toon style like DQX1 at least
- Ragequit punishments which is a feature every anime fighter seems to strangely lack so far (budget?)
- 60fps
No, but Frieza did:
Wait ... wait wait wait ... this is real? I thought it was a joke someone made, this is really in the game? wow
Oh god, I'm watching the giantbomb quicklook and... Dai is in this?
Holy shit, I totally missed that announcement. Fly / Dai no Daiboken was my favorite cartoon as a kid. Has he ever been in one of the past Jump games?
Still not gonna buy this any time soon but this is making it so much harder.

I'm not surprised with the cutscene direction and production, Spike has not had any good story modes since 2009 (Dragon Ball Raging Blast) and even then that game mostly consisted of characters standing still and talking. Much like Dragon Ball Z Tenkaichi 2 (though, the latter, is more forgivable due to just how huge that game's story is and it being a PS2 game).
Most people would say Tenkaichi 2 is the last actual, great story mode Spike has made for an anime game. That's almost 15 years ago. You've got to assume due to the merger and the amount of time that has passed much of the staff that worked on those older games have left. Whatever "talent" that was there is probably gone (I assume, again, it'd be cool to know for sure by looking at the credits of the various games they've made). But overall Spike Chunsoft has not put out a must have game in over 10 years so these scores are unsurprising as well as the quality of Jump Force.
Maybe one day we will get something like this made by Arc. Maybe. If FighterZ is given a break lol.

Must have fighter* (and I'd argue ever, since I really disliked Tenkaichi). Their visuals novels and Shiren games remain top tier.
At least make Frieza look like he's flying, his feet don't even move, his tail doesn't even react, and he looks like he's still on solid ground
He actually does animate as one would expect in other scenes (arms crossed, tail and body animated, actual expressions, etc.). The game has several hours of cutscenes and the vast majority aren't meme-worthy, they're just dull. The Poochie one is funny but it's an exception rather than the rule.
Overall it appears like it was literally unfinished, hell I don't believe they optimized much because the load times are (currently) ridiculous and it crashes occasionally, but the biggest technical/presentation issues are being addressed via patch as soon as possible.
I thought that was fake too because the guy behind have a Adult Gon manga panel on his shirt. Only now i'm realized all this is not a joke lol
Watching gameplay of this game, I'm not sure what everyone was so excited for
It looked terribad from the start, especially with those animations....yuck

He poses in other scenes when he floats, it's probably a bug and shows just how rushed the game is, and that's why the upcoming patch notes mention story scene improvements.
The Sanji dash didn't look as bad as that twitter video when I reached it, but I don't know what platform they captured it on.
What is really odd is that if you were just glancing at the game, given quality shown, you'd never guess that all of the properties on display collectively have sold literally billions of dollars worth of merchandise.

Only 1 point away from being the same as Victory Vs.

What a huge disappointment this game was. Definitely the worst game of this year so far imo
They should've never gone 3D with this franchise. Jump Ultimate Stars is still the best celebration of shonen jump's catalogue, and that was DS...
