jeremytjerry stop suck pls this gamme is a joke when we buy a DBZ gamme its for play like a boss and take fcking BADASS ATTACK not for play at fcking rock paper scissors rlly !
Nithilum Vision its for different experiences in there eyes of fightin. Who wants ti play they same ol game. They could have added options in chain attacks or not. But at the end of the day. Its different. Whyd u wanna play a bt3 type game EVERY NEW GAME. That's the thing. True fans would move on lik the series. U honestly never thought some people wanted this type of game. Fans requested this type of game. At the end of they day its on the majority side. If u want a bt3 type game BUT BT3. don't bash a game for being a rock paper scissors. Sit down and play the game insteas of lisning to youtubers. Give it 3 days. U will change your mind.
jeremytjerry The game blows. The media hyped the game but at the end of the day it was the most repetitive Bs I've ever experienced in a DBZ game. I bought the game when it came out and returned it two weeks later. The story was weak, the combat was messy, and the difficulty jump was insane. Be a knight for this game if you want but I'm basing this on MY OPINION and apparently, majority rules.
this game had the potential to be the best dragon ball game they just could add the fighting style from raging blast 2 the character list from budokai tenkaichi 3 and the graphics and the story of this game are oke who agreed with my opinion (sorry for my bad english)
I dont like any of these new dbz games dbz raging blast 2 was alright but in my opinion i think dbz budakai 3 and dbz budakai tenkaichi 2 and 3 are the best and burst limit was all right
They focused so much on the visuals they didn't put enough time into other areas. I think the reason the character customization and character roster was so limited was because they would have to create those same attack animations for every single character, that would have been really time consuming.
Fighting was too guided. I don't hate quick time events, but relying on it too much makes me feel like I'm actually not playing the game. Budokai Tenkaichi 1 2 and 3 almost had it on the fighting but there was something missing. Also the RPG elements of Dragon Ball Z games need to stop. I want them to focus more on the fighting and the overall feel of the game to make it fit the DBZ universe.
cutting any super sayian 2 character, that isn't super sayain 2 teen Gohan, is not much of a loss in my opinion. GT Goku got the same treatment, and I haven't heard anyone complain. Gotenks also got this treatmant in Tenkaichi 3, but he also got it in the anime, so it makes sense. I don't think cutting ss2 is a loss because the appearance is too similar to ss1, and after Gohan, it was meh. No one else got an epic ss2 transformation. Every sayain who achieved ss1 got an epic transformation for it except for kid Trunks and Goten. And Goku and Gotenks are the only ones who went ss3 so it's still pretty epic regardless of whether people lack epic first ss3 transformations. Which they don't to my memory.
I did like making my own character but when i was expecting to customize my own character i didnt think it was gonna be a DBZ dressup game where you use clothing from other character so i just used saiyain armor.
It'd be nice for an ideal DBZ title to bring back some of BT2/3's effects. The manga-styled lighting around Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon in BT3 looked much more threatening than RB's small version.
You know what this game would be absolutely kickass as? A turn-based RPG! Like Final Fantasy X/-2 or Skies of Arcadia. Everything is presented in a way that would fit absolutely perfectly into the RPG format. Since characters seem to take turns and time slows down for options and just in general things are structured more along the lines of an RPG than a fighting game. I'd love to see a Dragonball/Z/GT/Super RPG with this kind of presentation for an HD console. Just think of how cool it'd be...
I can't help but wonder if UT will be a sort of cushion for next year so that game might seem “better” in comparison. If they do continue the Ultimate Tenkaichi series, then I hope they have started the adjustments, because the character selection looks like it should be oh so much more. And who knows, maybe the'll take what Omega says and use it.
+JRPOKEMON GT finalbout was god awful but back then we where kids and had nothing better, so we sucked it up and played are one crappy dragonball game that made it out in the west and pretended to like it =p
@SpiritsRise No. Combos were different. A combo I do with Videl in RB2 wont work for say Goku. Their supers are different, they have different follow ups, different signatures and just in general different ways to chain things together.
What I want in a dbz game is new fight combos. Some of their punches should feel like earth shattering punch's that gives off shock waves when they hit and when the punches misses a mountain or anything around the shock wave of the punch should explode. When you go super saiyan, you notice a huge difference in your strength. When you power up, I want the ground to be shaking like the whole works ground coming a part and everything. When you shoot the Kamehameha, it actually blows Goku's hairback
The game was meant for its looks. Everything else was vague; gameplay, mechanics, and so on. Voices (from Kai series) and BGMs are recycled. Because of the graphics, I'm sure that Bandai and their team tried to keep the game as near as animated as the show. I mean just look at the Naruto games. The cut scenes were amazing watching them re-animated in HD. Hero mode was a new step for console since I'm not to familiar with DB Heros. I'm sure this game was rushed, but it's still the best looking DBZ game of them all.
Actually Omega I found out by accident that you can make different custom set ups for each form you have to go to either training or battle mode then select a character who can transform and give a custom set up to each form that character has.
I think this game is almost as bad as DBZ Kinect. if it wasn't a Rock-Paper-Scissors, and the hero mode's difficulty spike wasn't so cruel and unusual, it'd be way more better. I give it a 4.5/10 in my opinion, it could be way better.
@SpiritsRise And in B3 you hit square to punch with every character and triangle to kick with every character. If you are going to use what button you hit for an action then of course everything will be the same. What happens when you press the button is what matters not the button itself. And doing the same basic thing with slight changes is pretty much what I see in any fighting game. Since the core system for every character is the same. Its those slight differences that matter the most
@MrSamuelAdam4 Your point was that the game took no skill. That would mean there could be none of the growth that you just spelled out as possible answers. I do think this is a step back from RB2, but to say it takes no skill is just wrong.
Let's take Piccolo's Light Grenade. You get a very good view of the blast and terror on the opponent's face. Plus, how it manages to show off the power.
i remember selling this game back at gamestop the say day i got it(day 1) and piss me off cuz i got $40 back, i sold it cuz the combat was garbage it feel like a mobil game like mkx or injustice.
This is the one fighting game series where hair actually IS important. Why is it that the FIRST Budokai is the ONLY Dragon Ball Z game to get hair animations even close to good?
What I also would like to see, when your powering up under the water, the water would actually part from you and huge walls of water would surround you. When you fire a blast, if the blast hits the invisible wall, it would keep going and destroy the background area, and I am talking huge Nuclear explosions. When Goku fires a kamehameha over the water, the water should part. When you have a beam struggle, I want the area to slowly deteriorate, I mean junks of ground and debris flying in the air
I wish they could've done a remake of tb2 for ps3/xbox360. I always thought that that was the best DBZ game. I did the dumb shit and got this game after seeing the pictures on the back of the box and assumed it was just like bt2... Stupid pictures...
The follows in RB2 were the biggest improvement imo. I have played BT3 online, but unfortunately the lag for me really made spamming the most effective option. I have played a bit of RB1/2 online, and I have been spammed the majority of those times. As I see it, RB is more suited for spam because it lacks Blast Stocks(which means infinite Afterimage, Max-Power etc.), you can use supers point-blank, some input supers can be repeatedly spammed, and many attacks can be made unvanishable.
@SidCalibur Uhh... no, because one thing, Rock-Paper-Scissors is a 3-optioned game of chance, a coin toss would be more accurate because it's 2-optioned, and second, there's more to it than the coin toss thing. Plus there's the possiblity for DLC so you can add more slots for the character creation, and to extend the Hero Mode.
It's not a matter of if you like them or not its a matter of dbz fans using their brains as realizing that I we don't support the BS games then the developers will be forced to create only quality games.
I think the problem has more to do with what the objectives are during the training fights than the fighting itself. It's always "win the fight", when there could have been more variety, like "deflect 2 super attacks" or "survive for this length of time". Sparring isn't the only thing ever done while training, right?
Question: On the matter of Cell's Ultimate, would you have preferred if it stayed Perfect Barrier instead of the attack he used on Gohan right before he buffed up tremendously?
I would like for them to put Bruce Faulconer's music in it. That should be DBZ fans top request on the list. When you do critical hits you can do combos like street fighter or maybe you can juggle between street fighter style combos or the traditional rapid fighting attacks. They should make it like if your a saiyan you could reach all 4 levels of Super Saiyan by gaining experience fighting numerous battles online. When you do the Ko Ken x 20, Goku's hair should be floating up.
The whole difficulty scaling thing really screwed me over in Hero Mode. I Thought I was doing pretty well, the masters had all been relatively easy, I got the Super Saiyan Transformation, and I thought it would be great to just blast forward through the story. I got far for only having done the first four or six masters, THEN I made the huge mistake of picking Future Trunks as a master when my best skill was +2 health.. THE HORROR... THE HORROR...
@SidCalibur (continued)scene from the series. The only technical problem(and it's a big one) I had with the fighting system is that everyone play too similar, and you're essentially doing the same stuff every battle.
@DBKaiFANSonGokuRises oh...but from budokai tenkaichi 2 to raging blast the titles of the soundtrack were alltranslated in italian straight from the english title...for example the soundtrack "arlequin" of raging blast 2 here in italy is "arlecchino"...
@Darkflame887 Thank you for being one of the only people to mention the blast stock's ability to balance the game. The lack of blast stocks in the Raging Blast series have made it one of the most spam-tastic dbz games since you can use ultimates and after-images almost whenever you feel like. And you must be pretty good at BT3 if you melee for most of the fights, most pros do.
There'll probably be the chance of DLC patching so you can get more content. Also I don't agree with it being a step down, I actually thought it was a step up from the Raging Blast series(it's worthy of a 7.5 out of 10 in my book) since it's more balanced, it requires you to be more strategic, and is a better DBZ simulator(as you've noted), but still Tenkaichi 2 and 3 are much better. Pretty good review though.
youre right man, i myself rented and beat this game in one day, i was kinda upset that the characters were so limited plus the story was so incredibly short, it skipped like tons of fights and things that happened in the saga. did you notice that teen gohans voice is totally different? and hes always a super saiyan? you cant just be normal teen gohan. his voice in the story mode is totally different for when you are actully playing as him.
@Killerglaze I would say Raging Blast 1 and 2 is better for fighting skill gameplay. Those games shows how much can you learn from the character you play cause of different move sets and also transformations change your combos too and skill sets. RB2/RB1 also let you "Z counter" and go behind them to knock them away. Idk. this game is a BIG step behind. You got more bells and whistles then good gameplay
They should poll the fans on our favorite gameplay style (ex: budokai, tenkaichi, ultimate tenkaichi (which is both)) and then add character creation with more options, to make the perfect DBZ game
boss battles are okay but like omega said they shouldnt have restricted it to only giants. They could have made boss fights for the main fights like Goku vs Frieza or Gohan vs cell and make it similar to the boss fights like the naruto ultimate ninja storm series
@Omega2040 I can agree the BT3 has been overshadowed in an number of ways, some including graphics, animations, story modes and customization, but its gameplay has never been surpassed in my mind. And pardons for not commenting on the review itself yet, I was actually one of those people waiting for a review. It was quite a fair review, and it looks like a game that I could have fun with, aside from some of the urksome mechanics. Thanks to this I'll wait until the price lowers before I buy.
If you want to do a combo video you can, but maybe I don't exactly know what you want to show me. Well Burst Limit had incredible graphics and sound and didn't have any glitches. Plus, even though RB1 had plenty of glitches, there are more still in RB2. Lack of testing?
Sure you can, and many are much longer than RB2's. Most longer ones just require you to use Perfect Smashes or movement techniques to force longer combos. Though I'm always a supporter of a BT3 combat system with RB2's follow-ups. :D
@crzymexican57 I understand your point, but it is alot better than RB and RB2, where you could just have people spamming specials. This system forces players to actually fight and risk losing rather than hide-charge-fire-repeat.
I'm still not getting how its easier to spam supers in BT3. With the large amount of ki you get from just rush attacks in RB, its easy to always have energy for a super. Combine that with most characters having the Smash: 4 > Super cancel and its more than easy to spam them. Afterimage Strike is mostly annoying when used in melee range, since it can dodge multiple attacks. Super Vegito's Afterimage>Beam Sword Slash is what really gave the RB series its reputation as a spam-tastic game online.
I think with the huge upgrade to visuals and tweaked gameplay, it kind of makes sense that they wouldn't go with a huge roster, at least not until they get this new 'formula' down.
@SpiritsRise All I have is 16 and Nappa right now. I figure one of those types in Broly, since he is a unique master to the Large one, no clue on the last type though. Still working my way through it. I just need one more fight for Broly. After that I still have like a little over half the masters left.
Presonally I think they should scrap the Cannon Story and stick with *Hero* mode and expand it massively, as you said it is FAR to limited yet has so much potential its ridiculous.
They should bring back the fighting mechanics of budokai tenkaichi 2/3. I like the breakaway/approach attacks though, those were implimented nicely. The only thing I hated about BT2/3 was dodging the ultimate attacks. That over the shouler view made it hard to see when they were in your face to tap guard at the right time to teleport dodge.
@SYDAXARO He did more than Sword Trunks. Sword Trunks killed Frieza and then lost to the androids. The other one fought against Cell, Cell Jrs, 17 and 18 and then killed Cell. Plus he had an extra transformation.
@Omega2040 The "rock paper scissors" option simply implies that you're forced to make a decision that can be easily countered with little skill. You also shouldn't have to attack an opponent's back to start a chain, you should be able to start one without a QTE and have the opponent counter like they would in previous games. The system itself seems like more of a ploy to allow brand new players to be on equal terms with veterans of this game. This system just doesn't seem right for a fighter.
Its because it doesn't feel like like your actually in DBZ. The game does most of the stuff for you you just tell it what to do. In the other ones you could freely fly around, Charge up your blasts, and do your own combinations unlike Ultimate Tenkaichi where you just move your analog stick and press X or Y
To me, the perfect DBZ game would have BT3's gameplay, the choice to fight in 2D OR 3D, UT's graphics, dragonball for a health bar, it being whatever color you want it to be, and the color draining the more health you lose, the ability to play as ALL DB, DBZ, and DBGT characters, An improved character creator, bring back the Team battles from BT3, B3's Aura's and Overworld in the story, the ability to put whatever music you want in the fights (from the main series), and Great IN-GAME Cutscenes.
Maybe they didnt have many or copyrights to do more im not saying that this is a good first try but we always forget that money plays a factor in those games and i think that this is the reason as to why they left out goten+trunks(i know that there is no excuse for leaving out such characters but im just assuming) although they could have some dlc packs to give us more content until they make the requierd money or something i think that the reason that this game wasent really good is the budget
Shame it did. BT3's system with signatures, RB2's follow-ups and all of RB1's content would be truly ideal. But Spike apparently likes to remove all their good mechanics when switching series.
my friend usually complains about me only attacking on raging blast with little to no strategy; at least on here he might have more of a chance (because of the slight pause before a huge combo :P)
I attack from whichever side I'm on. I don't care if its the front or the back. 1 cancel? Did you see the charge attack>Ki blast, Smash:Low>charge attack, ki>sig, throw>super, Smash:Low>Sig? The only one I didn't use was Smash:3.charge attack. Did you want me to cancel charge attacks into Super Rises or side-steps? Those are pointless with CPU. ~40 hits is a bad combo? I understand the mechanics of RB2 very well, its just that BT3 does most better. I'm not close to a pro in BT3. Better in RB2.
I'm torn between buying this or BT3 - I'm new to the DBZ game scene, only having played Final Bout on the PS1, but I fancy getting involved. I'd would appreciate the opinions of some of you seasoned DBZ players to help me decide on which game to buy, thanks :3
I can agree with that. While RB2 has some nice variety in its combos, the hit boxes and vanishing windows are crap. RB1 had problems with that too, but not nearly to RB2's extent.
Yeah UK has some shit in it but it also has a lot of cool things about it too. For instance it has the idea of selecting how your character responds to blasts, either taking them head on, shooting the blast back, or evading it. I kind of like that aspect and if they can implement it into a fast paced fighting game like RB2 then we may have a serious improvement in game mechanics. Also post #1000
i feel like when they made tenkaichi 1, everybody was the same, no transformation, and just i feel like they made it to see if people like the new gameplay type, like u can go where ever u want. they improved that to be an amazing game with bt3. I hope this served the same purpose, im hoping they make a much better and enhanced version of this next.
The final score of this doesn't make any sense. He mostly said decent things about this game, so according to what he said, it shouldn't be rated any less than a 6/10. I personally would give it a 7/10. The gameplay needs worked on a little, but the graphics, sound and the story are all good. This game has incredible ki attacks. Better than any DBZ game, hands down. SS3 Goku's True Kamehameha is fucking IMMENSE. How the debris kicks up from the ground from ki attacks adds more to the touch, too.
@Omega2040 Perfect Cell, along with that Broly. Don't you find it odd that the heavy type is just a more muscled standard? Oh well, I'm not complaining, lol.
Funny that this game looks better than Battle of Z. Sadly, it turned (or revealed the truth?) the Tenkaichi gameplay into quick time event battles. Also, they wanted to make it as cinematic as possible but slapped the screen full of interface.
Maybe this was just me not under standing how to do this, but when I played Hero Mode, I couldn't change my supers. I unlocked a bunch, but could swap them.
Rock Paper Scissors Simulator 2011.
+Bob Logical So true!
Still better then ub22
Only 4 words you need to know about his game. Rock. Paper. Scissors. Game.
I noticed alot of hype for this game. But as soon as a major anime gamer says a bad reveiw. Oh this game suks

if this game was anything similar to raging blast anything I would've kept my money
i agree the combat system in raging blast was more arcade, this game combat system feelt like a mobil fighting game.
So, the game had potential to be the best dragon ball game... Except it did everything wrong, and had no potential at all lol

Make the combo system like bt3, harder to drag combos on but flashy ways of ending them
The graphics, visuals and soundtrack are amazing. They fucked up gameplay though which is the most important thing

you must be joking xenoverse its way better then this trash.

My "Gameplay" Review: There is none.
yeah I think I will just stick to dragon ball raging blast 2
Any decent DBZ fan would. It's the last decent one.
MaxFlare I think Battle of Z is fun, I know I'm in minority with that opinion, but it's not as good as Raging Blast 2.
I agree I like battle of z but just for online because the single player just doesn't do it for me
I dont like any of these new dbz games dbz raging blast 2 was alright but in my opinion i think dbz budakai 3 and dbz budakai tenkaichi 2 and 3 are the best and burst limit was all right
I couldn't agree with more, but I think tenkaichi 3 is number one for me.
xenoverse looks to have plenty of promise.
If only burst limit wasn’t rushed out, or at the very least dlc support for the majin buu saga. I would’ve bought it, especially back then
They focused so much on the visuals they didn't put enough time into other areas. I think the reason the character customization and character roster was so limited was because they would have to create those same attack animations for every single character, that would have been really time consuming.

Best of the Tenkaichi series
Finnish Person how so?
Incredible Half-Saiyan i meant BT3. i didn't bother buying this after playing the demo. i borrowed the full game from some poor fool who did.
***** its better than battle of z
Hands Down DBZ Budakai Tenkaichi 3 is the best ps2/ DBZ fighting game ever made!
What I want in a dbz game is new fight combos. Some of their punches should feel like earth shattering punch's that gives off shock waves when they hit and when the punches misses a mountain or anything around the shock wave of the punch should explode. When you go super saiyan, you notice a huge difference in your strength. When you power up, I want the ground to be shaking like the whole works ground coming a part and everything.

When you fire a blast, if the blast hits the invisible wall, it would keep going and destroy the background area, and I am talking huge Nuclear explosions. When Goku fires a kamehameha over the water, the water should part. When you have a beam struggle, I want the area to slowly deteriorate, I mean junks of ground and debris flying in the air
I wish they could've done a remake of tb2 for ps3/xbox360. I always thought that that was the best DBZ game. I did the dumb shit and got this game after seeing the pictures on the back of the box and assumed it was just like bt2... Stupid pictures...
They are, its coming out November 6,2012, its a remastered version of Budokai 1 and 3 for xbox 360 and Ps3
Step back from tenkaichi 3 I presume?
Gamer Q77 it's below tenkaichi 1 & tenkaichi 1 wasn't even bad it just sucked to me because tenkaichi 2 & 3 added way better gameplay.
man i'd love so much to see a good character creator, how awesome would it be to have your own custom character with tons of options to select from?
this game is all about luck
The follows in RB2 were the biggest improvement imo.
I have played BT3 online, but unfortunately the lag for me really made spamming the most effective option.
I have played a bit of RB1/2 online, and I have been spammed the majority of those times. As I see it, RB is more suited for spam because it lacks Blast Stocks(which means infinite Afterimage, Max-Power etc.), you can use supers point-blank, some input supers can be repeatedly spammed, and many attacks can be made unvanishable.
Bt3 is the best and budokai 3
Is second and raging blast 2 is 3rd
@DerStadtschutz the name says Len, i think it's a self created character from hero mode (you can see the names in the upper corners)
People consider this one as the worst GIVE ME A BREAK haha they obviously never played ultimate battle 22
**cough cough** at least that game is better then taiketsu and GT final bout
@SidCalibur Uhh... no, because one thing, Rock-Paper-Scissors is a 3-optioned game of chance, a coin toss would be more accurate because it's 2-optioned, and second, there's more to it than the coin toss thing. Plus there's the possiblity for DLC so you can add more slots for the character creation, and to extend the Hero Mode.
Guys do not buy this game go and buy raging blast 2 if you must have a dbz game.
I bought both and like both of them
It's not a matter of if you like them or not its a matter of dbz fans using their brains as realizing that I we don't support the BS games then the developers will be forced to create only quality games.
I think the problem has more to do with what the objectives are during the training fights than the fighting itself. It's always "win the fight", when there could have been more variety, like "deflect 2 super attacks" or "survive for this length of time". Sparring isn't the only thing ever done while training, right?
the combat system is shitty its so repetitive raging blast 2 was much better
budukai tenkaichi was better
yea and so is raging blast 2 :P
troll1367 rb2 is one of the best.. If not the best dbz gameyy
troll1367 idk where those "y's" came from
jocoolshow not really THE best it's just basically a unfinished version of BT
Question:
On the matter of Cell's Ultimate, would you have preferred if it stayed Perfect Barrier instead of the attack he used on Gohan right before he buffed up tremendously?
Hated this game...
@JediMasterLugia
That is probably a glitch. As such the original design choice is to not let people do that. So I stand by what I said.
I don't care what everyone says its a good game and
No its not.
Rock paper scissors is not a Dragon Ball game.
Gabriel Paulino Fuck off with that Comment DBZ Games exist in almost every way
I would like for them to put Bruce Faulconer's music in it. That should be DBZ fans top request on the list.
When you do critical hits you can do combos like street fighter or maybe you can juggle between street fighter style combos or the traditional rapid fighting attacks.
They should make it like if your a saiyan you could reach all 4 levels of Super Saiyan by gaining experience fighting numerous battles online.
When you do the Ko Ken x 20, Goku's hair should be floating up.
I have read that they are making a DBZBT HD collection with BT1, 2, and 3, but it is only rumored.
The whole difficulty scaling thing really screwed me over in Hero Mode. I Thought I was doing pretty well, the masters had all been relatively easy, I got the Super Saiyan Transformation, and I thought it would be great to just blast forward through the story. I got far for only having done the first four or six masters, THEN I made the huge mistake of picking Future Trunks as a master when my best skill was +2 health..
THE HORROR...
THE HORROR...
Apparently Tenkaichi 4 (sparking omega) was announced. If it's true we might be getting a scan tomorrow - 21-5-12. I hope it's true
@SidCalibur (continued)scene from the series. The only technical problem(and it's a big one) I had with the fighting system is that everyone play too similar, and you're essentially doing the same stuff every battle.
@DBKaiFANSonGokuRises oh...but from budokai tenkaichi 2 to raging blast the titles of the soundtrack were alltranslated in italian straight from the english title...for example the soundtrack "arlequin" of raging blast 2 here in italy is "arlecchino"...
@Omega2040
The other fighting type you can get for heavy is Cell Type. You'll also get Perfect Combination and Solar Kamehameha from him.
@Darkflame887 Thank you for being one of the only people to mention the blast stock's ability to balance the game. The lack of blast stocks in the Raging Blast series have made it one of the most spam-tastic dbz games since you can use ultimates and after-images almost whenever you feel like. And you must be pretty good at BT3 if you melee for most of the fights, most pros do.
@SuperGT80 They're characters from this DBZ arcade game called Dragon ball z heroes.
There'll probably be the chance of DLC patching so you can get more content. Also I don't agree with it being a step down, I actually thought it was a step up from the Raging Blast series(it's worthy of a 7.5 out of 10 in my book) since it's more balanced, it requires you to be more strategic, and is a better DBZ simulator(as you've noted), but still Tenkaichi 2 and 3 are much better. Pretty good review though.
youre right man, i myself rented and beat this game in one day, i was kinda upset that the characters were so limited plus the story was so incredibly short, it skipped like tons of fights and things that happened in the saga. did you notice that teen gohans voice is totally different? and hes always a super saiyan? you cant just be normal teen gohan. his voice in the story mode is totally different for when you are actully playing as him.
@ConyoDoom I know I'm not Omega, but if you're a fan of good DBZ gameplay, I would recommend RB2 over this.
@TheEzekiel300 also much more detail in transformation, not just a power up, for like a super saiyan you would see the hair raise and change color
I think I read somewhere Toriyama said 1/4 saiyans could still become Super Saiyans, but not after that.
@Killerglaze I would say Raging Blast 1 and 2 is better for fighting skill gameplay. Those games shows how much can you learn from the character you play cause of different move sets and also transformations change your combos too and skill sets. RB2/RB1 also let you "Z counter" and go behind them to knock them away. Idk. this game is a BIG step behind. You got more bells and whistles then good gameplay
They should poll the fans on our favorite gameplay style (ex: budokai, tenkaichi, ultimate tenkaichi (which is both)) and then add character creation with more options, to make the perfect DBZ game
boss battles are okay but like omega said they shouldnt have restricted it to only giants. They could have made boss fights for the main fights like Goku vs Frieza or Gohan vs cell and make it similar to the boss fights like the naruto ultimate ninja storm series
@Omega2040 I can agree the BT3 has been overshadowed in an number of ways, some including graphics, animations, story modes and customization, but its gameplay has never been surpassed in my mind.
And pardons for not commenting on the review itself yet, I was actually one of those people waiting for a review. It was quite a fair review, and it looks like a game that I could have fun with, aside from some of the urksome mechanics. Thanks to this I'll wait until the price lowers before I buy.
If you want to do a combo video you can, but maybe I don't exactly know what you want to show me.
Well Burst Limit had incredible graphics and sound and didn't have any glitches. Plus, even though RB1 had plenty of glitches, there are more still in RB2. Lack of testing?
Sure you can, and many are much longer than RB2's. Most longer ones just require you to use Perfect Smashes or movement techniques to force longer combos.
Though I'm always a supporter of a BT3 combat system with RB2's follow-ups. :D
@TheEzekiel300 also you can travel around the city and can fight random characters also when a ultimate miss it can destroy half the earth
@crzymexican57 I understand your point, but it is alot better than RB and RB2, where you could just have people spamming specials. This system forces players to actually fight and risk losing rather than hide-charge-fire-repeat.
the "it's over 9000!" scene didn't really feel the same
I'm still not getting how its easier to spam supers in BT3. With the large amount of ki you get from just rush attacks in RB, its easy to always have energy for a super. Combine that with most characters having the Smash: 4 > Super cancel and its more than easy to spam them.
Afterimage Strike is mostly annoying when used in melee range, since it can dodge multiple attacks. Super Vegito's Afterimage>Beam Sword Slash is what really gave the RB series its reputation as a spam-tastic game online.
I think with the huge upgrade to visuals and tweaked gameplay, it kind of makes sense that they wouldn't go with a huge roster, at least not until they get this new 'formula' down.
wow i haven't watched one of your videos in ages...you still got it :)
with more characters, detailed storymode, more what if scenarios , a character creator with more variety and possibly a dbz multiverse mode
@SpiritsRise
All I have is 16 and Nappa right now. I figure one of those types in Broly, since he is a unique master to the Large one, no clue on the last type though. Still working my way through it. I just need one more fight for Broly. After that I still have like a little over half the masters left.
Presonally I think they should scrap the Cannon Story and stick with *Hero* mode and expand it massively, as you said it is FAR to limited yet has so much potential its ridiculous.
They should bring back the fighting mechanics of budokai tenkaichi 2/3. I like the breakaway/approach attacks though, those were implimented nicely. The only thing I hated about BT2/3 was dodging the ultimate attacks. That over the shouler view made it hard to see when they were in your face to tap guard at the right time to teleport dodge.
@SYDAXARO
He did more than Sword Trunks. Sword Trunks killed Frieza and then lost to the androids. The other one fought against Cell, Cell Jrs, 17 and 18 and then killed Cell. Plus he had an extra transformation.
When I got to fighting Piccolo, I stood no chance at all, and the master system did get tiring pretty soon.
Same!!!!
@Omega2040 The "rock paper scissors" option simply implies that you're forced to make a decision that can be easily countered with little skill. You also shouldn't have to attack an opponent's back to start a chain, you should be able to start one without a QTE and have the opponent counter like they would in previous games. The system itself seems like more of a ploy to allow brand new players to be on equal terms with veterans of this game. This system just doesn't seem right for a fighter.
Its because it doesn't feel like like your actually in DBZ. The game does most of the stuff for you you just tell it what to do. In the other ones you could freely fly around, Charge up your blasts, and do your own combinations unlike Ultimate Tenkaichi where you just move your analog stick and press X or Y
Also add the character and move customization of Raging Blast 2! :D
@andweallgoboom But GT wasn't made by Akira Toriyama, he even said it isn't Cannon to the story line.
To me, the perfect DBZ game would have BT3's gameplay, the choice to fight in 2D OR 3D, UT's graphics, dragonball for a health bar, it being whatever color you want it to be, and the color draining the more health you lose, the ability to play as ALL DB, DBZ, and DBGT characters, An improved character creator, bring back the Team battles from BT3, B3's Aura's and Overworld in the story, the ability to put whatever music you want in the fights (from the main series), and Great IN-GAME Cutscenes.
Maybe they didnt have many or copyrights to do more im not saying that this is a good first try but we always forget that money plays a factor in those games and i think that this is the reason as to why they left out goten+trunks(i know that there is no excuse for leaving out such characters but im just assuming) although they could have some dlc packs to give us more content until they make the requierd money or something i think that the reason that this game wasent really good is the budget
Shame it did. BT3's system with signatures, RB2's follow-ups and all of RB1's content would be truly ideal.
But Spike apparently likes to remove all their good mechanics when switching series.
my friend usually complains about me only attacking on raging blast with little to no strategy; at least on here he might have more of a chance (because of the slight pause before a huge combo :P)
If they plan on making an Ultimate Tenkaichi 2, I really hope they improve on what they were lacking.
I would actually like it to be a mix of all three games' combat , and a mix of RB2 and BT3's roster.
I attack from whichever side I'm on. I don't care if its the front or the back. 1 cancel? Did you see the charge attack>Ki blast, Smash:Low>charge attack, ki>sig, throw>super, Smash:Low>Sig? The only one I didn't use was Smash:3.charge attack. Did you want me to cancel charge attacks into Super Rises or side-steps? Those are pointless with CPU. ~40 hits is a bad combo?
I understand the mechanics of RB2 very well, its just that BT3 does most better. I'm not close to a pro in BT3. Better in RB2.
I'm torn between buying this or BT3 - I'm new to the DBZ game scene, only having played Final Bout on the PS1, but I fancy getting involved. I'd would appreciate the opinions of some of you seasoned DBZ players to help me decide on which game to buy, thanks :3
I can agree with that. While RB2 has some nice variety in its combos, the hit boxes and vanishing windows are crap. RB1 had problems with that too, but not nearly to RB2's extent.
Yeah UK has some shit in it but it also has a lot of cool things about it too.
For instance it has the idea of selecting how your character responds to blasts, either taking them head on, shooting the blast back, or evading it. I kind of like that aspect and if they can implement it into a fast paced fighting game like RB2 then we may have a serious improvement in game mechanics.
Also post #1000
i feel like when they made tenkaichi 1, everybody was the same, no transformation, and just i feel like they made it to see if people like the new gameplay type, like u can go where ever u want. they improved that to be an amazing game with bt3. I hope this served the same purpose, im hoping they make a much better and enhanced version of this next.
The final score of this doesn't make any sense. He mostly said decent things about this game, so according to what he said, it shouldn't be rated any less than a 6/10.
I personally would give it a 7/10. The gameplay needs worked on a little, but the graphics, sound and the story are all good. This game has incredible ki attacks. Better than any DBZ game, hands down. SS3 Goku's True Kamehameha is fucking IMMENSE. How the debris kicks up from the ground from ki attacks adds more to the touch, too.
@Omega2040 Perfect Cell, along with that Broly. Don't you find it odd that the heavy type is just a more muscled standard? Oh well, I'm not complaining, lol.
Funny that this game looks better than Battle of Z. Sadly, it turned (or revealed the truth?) the Tenkaichi gameplay into quick time event battles.
Also, they wanted to make it as cinematic as possible but slapped the screen full of interface.
Maybe this was just me not under standing how to do this, but when I played Hero Mode, I couldn't change my supers. I unlocked a bunch, but could swap them.
