Is Buu's Fury REALLY That Bad?!

  • We have reached the end of the Legacy Of Goku trilogy. While reviewers marked Legacy Of Goku 2 as both an excellent rebound effort and the best in the series, Buu's Fury was noted as a step down. Like with the rest of this Gameboy Advance exclusive series, I took the dive back in time to find out whether or not those reviewers were actually right.

      I can say back when I was a kid, it did have a bad reputation in my area which was surprising because dbz was the anime and everyone here liked it but I only remember one friend liking it out of the group kids at my school. I still don't get why it had that reputation once I got to play it many years later.

      it's the power of UA-camr's Charisma.
      it's best to have a mind of your own rather than listen to them.
      Seriously why do you think New Vegas is Hugely popular and Fallout 3 is considered garbage by comparison even though both games are pretty much fine in their own right both with their own strength and weaknesses.
      or why Nintendo is mostly loved by 20+ year olds even though the games are lack luster and are mostly for children.
      Why everyone thinks Digimon Survive was the worst selling Digimon game even though it sold well on steam and PlayStation (some UA-camrs believed it was only on switch)
      They ain't the smartest just the most charismatic.

      I dunno, it did seem a bit rushed, with how short it was and how many level gates there were to make the game seem longer than it was. I think LoG2 was better by a bit because it felt more natural in how it progressed. But yeah, the gameplay was better than in LoG2. Everything that was there was good, there just should have been a bit less level gates for enforced grind and a bit more actual content here.

    If anyone wants to max level a character in this game(or all of them if you're mad like me), I would recommend getting the "GOKUU" hat before you reach lvl-100. If you wear the hat while leveling past 100 you will get an extra stat point. If you reach the max level of 200 with the hat, your stats will also max to 200 as well. I believe the "GOKUU" hat can be found in the Ninja Temple level in a treasure chest. Happy level grinding!

      The only problem was, by the time you unlocked Gogeta there was nothing left to do in game as you pretty much unlocked everything at this point. In LoG 2 you could unlock Hercule and you still could level him up and then unlock secret ending, while playing as Gogeta was kinda pointless and just for fun.
      While not exactly part of LoG series, GT Transformation developed by the same studio let you play entire game with various unlockable characters like Uub, Vegeta or even Baby. But LoG formula doesn't really work with "New game+" idea.

    The thing about Buu’s Fury that makes it a bit lesser than LoG2 is that, yeah, it added a ton of new gameplay elements, but it also made the gameplay itself a lot more bogged down.
    Having equips, stacking SSJ forms, customizable stats, and whatnot doesn’t really help if the enemies you face are too weak to let you really make use of them. Not to mention the grind, which I assume was the byproduct of the customizable stats.
    I also wonder why they removed the wall bounce. It didn’t add _too_ much to the difficulty, but it still made the combat in 2 feel more engaging as opposed to being solely A button spam. If the melee attack was replaced with a basic combo system, where every third or fourth attack had a lot of end lag (thus neutralizing A button spam), then it would have made sense. But now the player just has permanent access to the fan from SSBM. And on the topic of fighting game mechanics, some enemies are given the ability to block while the player can’t. I assume it’s due to limited buttons, but giving one side the ability and not the other is kind of a weird design choice. From what I’ve seen, enemies blocking your attacks only serve to slow down gameplay.

      @@annedrieck7316 A computer (which a console ssentially is) stores variables like the amount you have of an item in a so called Integer, that is basically a number represented by 8 binary(0 or 1) numbers (though nowadays it's usually 32 or 64 numbers andnot 8 but back then consoles didn't have that much RAM). The way binary works, having 8 digits means you can have 256 values. But one of these values is 0 so it goes from 0 to 255. That's why in many older games 255 is the max a number can have.
      That said, if you eat the bean you now have 0 beans. Then you go talk to Videl and give her a bean. The game is coded to just do your beans -1. But you are at zero and here, computers have something called an "Underflow", which is that if you do -1 on the lowest possible number, it "Flips" all binary digits, so 0000 0000 becomes 1111 1111 which is 255. And that's why you have 255 Senzu Beans if you do this trick, because the programmers basically forgot to make the game check if you have a senzu bean and only do -1 if you have more than one.

    I am kicking myself in the balls right now. You know how many game boxes I've thrown away when I was a kid? Yeah I invite y'all to kick me in the balls too. Man I wished I hit critical thinking age earlier.
    Great video, brought back some good memories.
    I beat this game while on a road trip from Lexington Texas to Branson Missouri, for my brother's military graduation. I'll never forget my dad saying "what is with the button mashing"? I was at the end with buu and you had to rapidly tap A in a battle of energy. And when I said "it's the last boss"!
    He said carry on. Buu was defeated eventually.
    The game is great.

    You ask around 16:40
    “Why the name change”
    If you look at how many copies, notably in NA only as well, for the first game you’d find your answer as to the name change.
    While 600k+ copies sold sounds great, LoG2 was only approved because the first game sold well; over 1.2M copies if I’m remembering correct. We’re talking half the sales numbers here with a much larger budget.
    Whether the devs or their publishers came up with the idea to change the name is debatable, but the reasons were purely out of mindfulness that the first game wasn’t received well and it had a huge impact on the superior second game’s sales figures.
    The owners of the first game clearly wanted a DBZ game in that style on GBA… they just got so burned they would never buy another LoG game so it just got called something else to draw those fans back in since the fans who did buy the second game were also still likely to buy the third; even if it was a differently named title.
    My question though, if you wanna wrack your brain for an answer, is why the hell would you buy a pristine copy in box of a game you started as not a fan of nor played as a child? If it was purely for collecting then you’d be destroying/risk destroying the value every time you looked at it funny, let alone handling and opening the box & manuals. This game as you also point out has a high price these days. As a fan myself of DBZ, I personally wouldn’t spend so much on a collector-quality item that I
    A.) Planned on ever handling or opening
    B.) Had never played nor thought would be fun
    Most comments seem to disagree totally that this game is or ever was considered to be bad, and even though your video is high quality, I think you’d have been better off asking what we thought of the game and giving your own score/opinion without using an unpopular (and borderline false) opinion to draw more views.
    Anyways that’s my two cents! Great game from this era and an excellent example of how funding as well as market reception play huge roles in the development of game series!

    Just finished the trilogy myself. Buu's Fury is by far the best game. The optional stuff from LoG2 might debatably be better since you have cool stuff like Cyborg Tao, but I think the pacing, average difficulty, UI, the new equipment system and more customizability with skill points, just everything I think Webfoot wanted to do was more fully realized.

    I will never forget getting this game for Christmas and like all kids I ignored the manual and just went into it. Had the hardest time with it on my first play through. It wasnt until the dragonball side quest with goten and trunks that I finally noticed the stat icon and hit A in the menu and realized I wasnt using the stats. The second I did suddenly every common enemy that was kicking my ass were going down with one punch it blew my mind. I then recall a few weeks later in the school bus another kid was having the same problem so I had to let him know! Also that sensu bean glitch makes all play throughs since just a good chill time.

  • @supersaiyanmikito
    @supersaiyanmikito Рік тому

    You brought up the lack of wall bounce but there are two other major issues with the balance. For one, enemies barely react to your punches and only slide back a tiny bit making it very easy to combo them. In LoG2, the fights were difficult because each hit launched them so far away that you had barely enough time to walk up and punch them again. Unless you using a really fast character, you had to have near perfect rhythm and movement to keep them stunlocked. Stat distribution is also a problem thanks to a really poor damage formula. Basically, your stats power creep themselves and the higher your stats, the more they are worth. As a result, you can just pump everything into strength and you will absolutely flatten enemies because 1 point at 120 strength is worth a lot more then 1 point at 80 strength.
    As an additional note, there is pretty clear evidence that Buu's Fury was quite rushed compared to Legacy of Goku 2. Despite using mostly the same graphics, many of them have been downgraded. The character models and portraits are definitely better but the world itself took a major dive in quality. There are significantly less uses of light and shadow which include characters now using a stock circular shadow instead of a custom shaped drop shadow for each frame of animation. Water is now solid instead of transparent, you could originally see the bottom of the sea and rivers with proper foliage and everything. There also seems to be much less diversity as the same grass and dirt texture is used everywhere instead of changing them up like how LoG2 had multiple seasons and multiple variants of trees for different areas. I know I am kind of nitpicking but when you play the games back to back multiple times, you really start to pick up on the game's lack of polish.

    I think part of the reason Buu's Fury had middling/mixed reviews is because the Buu saga wasn't really that well received whereas many fans consider the Cell saga to be the best arc in the show. Much of the Buu saga consisted of rehashed themes from previous arcs and not necessarily ass pulls but the writing got a bit sloppier than usual at times. It had big moments that the fans love but the general consensus was that it had many flaws. Reviewers could take their opinions of the Buu saga itself and project them onto a game that is simply a more expanded version of Legacy 2; it would at least explain their lack of written critiques of the game.

  • @peanutfish94

    Loved this as a kid especially since my favorite arc for DBZ was the Buu's Saga so I would often return to Buu's Fury and play through that a bunch.
    There's some tiny nitpicks you can make about how 2 does it better than BF but that's very minor. Like sure the level pacing and level gates coulda been adjusted to not be as big of a curbstomp as they ultimately are or need to level grind for gates but that's fine and we coulda kept all the locations on the mini map that you could land in but that's minor in the great picture. Still love the game to pieces regardless.

    Buu's Fury is and has always been my favorite of the three. It's definitely easier than LoG 2 (which is probably part of the reason I preferred it as a kid, though still FUCK that mission with the dinosaur's eggs) but it also changed a few of my minor complaints I had about LoG 2, specifically the SSJ transformations. I greatly preferred them having a separate energy bar between base form and SSJ/SSJ3.
    Also the Buu arc has always been my favorite, so that's also probably a major factor for me
