The reason why people are mad about the 7 is because concord(an infamously dogshit game) got a 7 too. Even tho they are different game genres all together. Basically, it's like when people got mad at Fantano for giving DAMN a 7 and sexy red album a 7.
except fantano is one person who's grading all these things. So people getting mad at him and pointing out inconsistency in his logic make sense. IGN isnt one person it's a huge company. The person who gave sparkling zero a 7 isn't the same person that gave concord a 7. They're two different people.
19:30 the reason why Tenkaichi 2 gets the most love story wise is because it covers literally every single arc canon and non canon (all the movies) in Z and even covers all of GT Side note I think Raging Blast 1, Infinite World, Burst Limit(better version of Budokai 1) and even though I didn’t play this game I think Kakarot also tells the story of dragonball the best in its entirety if I had to include any other game it would unironically be Ultimate Tenkaichi the giant boss battles were actually really cool and some that were never introduced in any other dragonball game ever again since
I can agree that the game isn’t perfect, but there’s just enough content that would give a seal of approval. My flaws with it are very minor, but overall the game to me is a solid 8 out of 10 for me tbh.
@@jahleel0077 it’s so annoying that we are in a day and age where people can’t just give a game an honest 10 since you guys want to say that we are comparing the rating to another bullshit rating of a game that is not comparable to Dragon Ball Z OK then let’s go all the way back to ultimate tenkaichi one of the worst Dragon Ball Z games to ever exist how does it have a higher rating then dragon Ball sparking zero explain Dragon Ball Sparky is a seven and ultimate tenkaichi is a 7.5 The amount of yapping is insane IGN SOLD
I’m glad Shawn stopped using number scores when doing reviews. People love to obsess over that rather than hear the actual talking points (looking at you fantano comment section)
True but it definitely has its glaring flaws. Like a lot actually. It’s like Elden ring, it actually has a lot of problems, but those problems don’t distract too much from the solid gameplay and presentation. I think a 7 is absolutely fair
I just need a dedicated tutorial for the different dodges, blocks, and counters that explains their timing and different effects. Maybe I just missed it but that would make the tutorial damn near perfect. I feel like the D ranks and C ranks are already so large. D is basically just who can lock their opponents in combos and C ranks are everyone who understands the defense mechanics and timing and can easily break out out of them
It lives up to the hype, especially those who’ve been waiting for the 4th installment since BT3 was released. -The story mode is cool cuz you get what if scenarios but I do feel like some character saga should’ve started in certain points of the anime. Example, Vegeta doesn’t start in the Saiyan saga but in the Frieza arc. Wack -Online lobbies are cool, the time limit to pick your team is very low. Should be more or at least have no time limit. I do feel like the button input lag is very delayed, I gotta press the button 3 times to get him to do the ultimate move lol. Is annoying but it could be patched up I’m still not a fan of the character select bc all you see and Goku & Vegeta in the first 8 rows 😭😭 I wish it was more organized or better put together Over all for me and only me, 9/10.
Story mode could be better however, Kakarot did the story perfectly, and at this point Dragonball is dragon ball, so i kinda appreciated the fast recaps. But yes the AI is on crack which on the one hand , cool, on the other I have yet to have a person break out of the infinite combo, but the AI will, without fail find a way to vanish it. Even counter counters. Battles feel like good long battles, anime stylized. It feels GOOD to play. It's fun. It takes time to master. And takes even more time to perfect. And regardless of its faults it's goddamn fun to play. Ill give it a 9/10 . Probably one of the best Dragonball games ever made. I rank it over fighters and Kakorot and tie it with BT3 Also completely agree with transformations it always stops the flow of battle
I’m tired of people talking about”why do you need to see a story you already seen before” to give a pass to the mid story mode. Like, the key moments could’ve definitely had full cutscenes. People want to act like the game is perfect because they like it but you can like something and have a critique or let someone else have there’s.
I remember before the game came out people were complaining about anime games being boring cuz they keep telling the same the story. It seems like a lose lose situation. Focus on story cutscenes and have other parts of the game get less attention. Or make the story made simple and straight to the point and spend development time on other things . Overall, I think they made the right decision to spend resources and development time on other stuff and not big cinematic cutscenes of a story we seen a million times. The game would have been buns if the cutscenes were amazing but everything else mid and/or broken.
Another moment that should’ve had a cut scene instead of slideshow was Trunks, Vegeta, Gohan and Goku all doing their finish at the same time. A father son moment for both at the same time? Cmon man, I wanna see that
A lot of frustration is coming from the ranked community like you said. Play the regular modes if you don't feel like sweating and just wanna try some stuff out and have fun, if you feel like seeing how well you can beat the metas in the game then go to ranked. If you look at it from this angle I promise the game will become 10x more fun
Remember custom battles which supposedly would permit us to make any fight we would imagine with 5000 quote lines and would be the infinite value of the game? Well, I think is already dead
I agree Concord is trash and for sure deserved a worse score than this game. However you mentioned sales and I don't think that should be relevant to how scores are judged. If that was the case Madden and Call of Duty should be the highest rated games each year and no one agrees with that
Two things can be true. The game can be good and also be overrated/over-priced. This is 40-50 dollar game being sold at a 70 dollar price due its namesake
@menace7832 they're hardly alternate story lines. Some are cool, like the Gohan Black arc, but some have no creativity at all. For example, the "alternate" story of Goku beating Frieza without going SS is just that. The story just ends. No follow-up with the androids or anything. Which is the case with most of them. They throw in one extra fight that differentiates from the main story, but that's it.
7-8 is where id put it. I agree the story could have been done better. The strongest cpu level isn't very good. Especially in world tournament mode i won in 7 seconds cuz a dude just flew out. Im also not a big fan of the menu like I hate games where I have to wait for the characters in the back to move around to go to different settings and shit. I'm also annoyed how they snubbed several characters especially ones from the previous games.
Game def isn't trash, I'm not even a big Dragonball fan & I think it's good fun overall. It feels like if a game isn't getting 9/10-10/10 GOTY level scores these days, People act like its automatically a disappointment. I think seeing the 7/10 reviews for this is a pretty fair score especially when you compare to other games that released this year. For me, FF7 Rebirth & Shadow Of The Erdteee set such a high bar early on, Even great games like Wukong or SH2 Remake don't feel AS special in comparison. AstroBot is maybe the only game released since that feels truly special, Tho I'm currently playing thru Metaphor, 30hrs in and if it keeps up at the pace its been at thusfar honestly it's likely gonna be my GOTY, Incredible experience so far.
As someone whose favorite number is 7 Who's grew up on the original *DBZ* yet departed from the series mid- *GT* Doesn't own a game console currently due to lifes many trials and tribulations However continues to personally stay up to date on damn near datamine surges of every (mainstream relevant) Fighting Game I'd be livid of such a score as well. *Tekken 4* being my first personally owned fighting video game on the *PlayStation 2* and *Mortal Kombat* : Armageddon being an all time favorite there were characteristics of this game, that got promoted, still til this very second make my heart further break due to simply being in this absense of having capabilities to play any video game for that matter. So much was put into it id jack a mf for it, risk going to prison for stolen property. Literally. 7 is underwhelming and they know they was wrong fa dat.
As a major big fan of the game, it's clear that nostalgia and the honeymoon phase are blinding people from the issues of the game. Shawn mentioned plenty and his chat was acting like half of it was skill issue or sum. I got the early access like many others and ran into a whole lot of these issues and critiques plus the slideshow ass story being choppy and only one stage allowed on offline PvP. But when the game officially dropped on Friday i was expecting a day one update to clean up some stuff but here we are a week later and nothing... Again I LOVE THIS GAME but it's very clear they only considered character/map design and online play as factors. The menu is respectfully underwhelming in comparison to other DB games and ik I might get dogged but the character select screen is the biggest downgrade of the series. I shouldn't have to search thru 180+ characters when half of them are transformations. Especially in online when Im timed to chose a whole team. I love the options but I had an expectation that the character select I was seeing on UA-camr's early access was a rough draft form to hide the final product for release. Yes I shouldn't have built an expectation but why would I not expect something like xenoverse or better yet bt3, so when you click a character, THEN their transformations pop up. just my honest opinion but imma still play this day and night, I just hope stuff gets polished cause it doesn't feel like a completely finished game...
There is a bug online for controls especially if you're on classic controls. It's the main reason why im not playing as much. Once it gets fixed I'll be on demon time
the biggest negative for me is -1: lack of shared screen focus (only the hyperbrolic time chamber is lame and it was tacked on after it was revealed they werent going to have it on launch) for me its the biggest reason to not get the game since i mostly play -1: the customization is cool but superficial from what ive seen. Raging blast let you change charging auras and the ultimate ninja games let you select ultimates and skills the character has across the series. atp it isnt very progressive but it is def better than BT3 id give it at best an 8 IF the story and what ifs and gameplay fully deliver and if the characters are more unique than they were in BT3(almost everyone had the same type of moves, esp the weaker ones)
i think it was a big miss that they didn't do the story similarly to how bt3 did especially with the slides take away from big scenes like the father-son kameha or the angry kameha. like just make it an in-game beam clash, the feature's already there.
Shawn if u think Raditz is the hardest u definitely ain’t do the piccolo what if where u gotta beat Frieza in time before Goku shows up to save the day. U only get like two minutes and when he goes into 3rd form he has an instant rush super that triggers if u don’t hit him fast enough. Had me tweakin for a whole night
tbh i feel like people only really go to ign to affirm their purchase so regardless of how good or bad a game is any score below an 8 will have people who spent $60 very angry in the comments.
I don't care about IGN anymore, but I think people forget these reviews are written by one person. Whoever gave Concord a 7 is not the guy reviewing Sparking.
if the espiode mode had better cutscenes, itd be a 9-10/10 for me, but the slideshow presentation they have kind of ruind immersion, but the gameplay is so fun it gets a 8/10 for me
Theres no such thing as a 10/10 game but Sparking Zero is like a 7/10 for me I haven't even played the game yet but that might go up or down once i play it but from what I've seen they put effort into this game
@@zakirazzouki7736 I have only experienced an issue with some super attacks not registering instantly, never experienced the charging bug hope it gets fixed tho
Only time the episode battle felt interesting was the Gohan Black stuff. They should’ve just had the whole story mode be What If Gohan was the main character and we would’ve been happy lol
I agree that the story mode is not good I’m not playing the game for the story Shawn I’m 19 hours in with grinding to get golden Frieza to level 7 right now a level 5 I got goku 1 to max everything outfits for him and got all 7 capsules I’m fucking loving it all 182 characters are now unlocked and paid for. I’m now got 129 orders and 18 percent achievements unlocked on Xbox. I just wish there could be a percent completion for 100 percenting the game. And I’m addicted to this game trying to stop is soooo hard
The input delay is very noticeable. I have it on Pc and PS5. I much prefer maining my PC for ranked lol. Wayyyy better. Unreal engine 5 games on console tend to have this issue. But yeah I was planning to main my PC from the start.
I would feel better if i bought it for 49.99. Core game doesnt have any depth to it. Everything simplified, gameplay, story, character idenity and make 30 goku individual charater isnt depth....
if you want cutscenes and allat story stuff go play kakarot. literally same graphics plus open world, and faithfully follows only the story. no pvp or multi.
That's the problem. We're NOT playing Kakarot, we're playing Sparking Zero. They half assed the story mode, if you have to say "oh play the previous game for story" than your current story mode sucks
Reviews in general are stupid more specifically ones with a numbered score. I think they can be a useful gauge especially if you're unsure about something and trust the opinion of that specific reviewer but otherwise pointless
The issue is if you read IGN score metric on their site the review literally reads like a 8 to 9.. Also, he's trash at the game and didn't even know how the accessibility settings work 😂
Reviewer need to be fired he straight up didn’t even know how to navigate the menu lol lying about how you can’t customize outfits on character select when you can
Things I think bring the game down are that a lot of the transformations are kinda bad and not fluid at all (jiren 😒) The costumes are kinda bare bones. We didn’t even get boujack gohan or the orange jacket goku and instead we got like 8 different versions of the same gi slowly deteriorating? It’s cool but come on. Melee trunks has no alt costumes that’s a fucking sin. XBOX PLAYERS STILL CANT FUCKING PLAY RANKED There are so many lame ass ults. Like the amount of kamehamehas is ridiculous. I get it’s THE dragon ball move but come the fuck on there’s always room to be creative like give ssj dbs goku the “I will not let you destroy my world” attack string as a super or something more unique for like mastered UI. Some of them make complete sense like the instant transmission one for ssj goku or you fool but they definitely copped out for a lot of characters. I’m editing and throwing another critique in there, I think the menus are annoying to navigate and the character select screen is jarringly ugly. My last big critique is that they don’t teach you how to do everything in the move list or training. Like for example someone tell me what attacks gero can absorb and what inputs you press to do it. Because the game sure as hell doesn’t tell you I don’t think this game is goty material, but Im having a lot of fun with it despite being locked out of ranked completely.
It's not. The story is ass and ranked is an unbalanced mess, with opponents simply disconnecting as soon as they lose. Can't be an objective 10 while problems like this exist.
Game def fun def good balanced def not do I see the same characters in ranked yes do I get sick of spam and unblockable supers from characters that after 1 knock back get a skill to free sparking most def
This game is a 7 people be hyping up games that are aight, but be acting like they these games are 9 and 10 when there not. We will see if yall keep this same position in two months 😂, and I feel a majority of people who are hyping this game are in High School or just finished and we’re not there for the OG games or barely remember them, so I don’t fault them these there era so they might feel a bit defensive
The reason why people are mad about the 7 is because concord(an infamously dogshit game) got a 7 too. Even tho they are different game genres all together. Basically, it's like when people got mad at Fantano for giving DAMN a 7 and sexy red album a 7.
That might be the best analogy for this situation honestly
Sexy redd over DAMN is still insane idgaf
What's funny is the reviewer for sparking zero said fantasimo was trash 😂
@@changedcj007 is just numbers bro, not that deep
DAMN still better tho
except fantano is one person who's grading all these things. So people getting mad at him and pointing out inconsistency in his logic make sense. IGN isnt one person it's a huge company.

19:30 the reason why Tenkaichi 2 gets the most love story wise is because it covers literally every single arc canon and non canon (all the movies) in Z and even covers all of GT
Side note I think Raging Blast 1, Infinite World, Burst Limit(better version of Budokai 1) and even though I didn’t play this game I think Kakarot also tells the story of dragonball the best in its entirety if I had to include any other game it would unironically be Ultimate Tenkaichi the giant boss battles were actually really cool and some that were never introduced in any other dragonball game ever again since
those qte’s were a nightmare though and the gameplay as a whole didn’t give dragonball at all
I can agree that the game isn’t perfect, but there’s just enough content that would give a seal of approval. My flaws with it are very minor, but overall the game to me is a solid 8 out of 10 for me tbh.

just started to notice input delay yesterday when I was 1v1ing my mate. We both had it. :(
You could change abilities like supers and ultimates in raging blast 2 for sure, and maybe 1 but not sure
It’s definitely an 8 or 8.5 and DLC for it hasn’t even dropped yet so it’s probably going to go up more for me
Mostly storm 4 fans calling the game trash and overrated

Gt Is in the game. Only super 17 didn’t make
Shawn if u think Raditz is the hardest u definitely ain’t do the piccolo what if where u gotta beat Frieza in time before Goku shows up to save the day. U only get like two minutes and when he goes into 3rd form he has an instant rush super that triggers if u don’t hit him fast enough. Had me tweakin for a whole night
tbh i feel like people only really go to ign to affirm their purchase so regardless of how good or bad a game is any score below an 8 will have people who spent $60 very angry in the comments.
Tag team co-op mode!? We're is it at! They could have delay it another year to implement this!
They’ve never said they where adding that idk where this is coming from great idea tho
@@bathtubtoast9181 check the psp verison tenkaichi tag team
I don't care about IGN anymore, but I think people forget these reviews are written by one person. Whoever gave Concord a 7 is not the guy reviewing Sparking.
I'm hopeful for a DLC focused on vegeta that brings in all the characters from planet vegeta but it might just be cope
IGN is notorious for giving out 7s. So much It's become an online joke
I mean most games are just good.
@@sircartier2723 I see that, some see it as lazy surface level critiques.
if the espiode mode had better cutscenes, itd be a 9-10/10 for me, but the slideshow presentation they have kind of ruind immersion, but the gameplay is so fun it gets a 8/10 for me
23:18 This game do be eating inputs low key
Theres no such thing as a 10/10 game but Sparking Zero is like a 7/10 for me
I haven't even played the game yet but that might go up or down once i play it but from what I've seen they put effort into this game
9:11 Bruh yapping there is a nuanced customization of opponent behaviors in the open training mode
The only flaw is the bugs that i’ve gotten with controllers, It needs to get bugs patched then it’s 8/10 easily
What input delay is he talking about im on PlayStation and don’t feel an input delay if it has one it’s minimal for me so I’m confused
I feel it when playing online when i wanna do a special it’s very buggy. Just like charing after a transformation i get stuck charging
There’s is definitely a input delay on trying to do a transformation or switching
@@lt0528 or I get what you mean, I don’t really play modes with multiple characters I usually just play 1v1
@@zakirazzouki7736 I have only experienced an issue with some super attacks not registering instantly, never experienced the charging bug hope it gets fixed tho
Only time the episode battle felt interesting was the Gohan Black stuff. They should’ve just had the whole story mode be What If Gohan was the main character and we would’ve been happy lol
And i was wondering where are all the dudes that complain about everything 😂
Is there a game like this but in one piece universe ???
I agree that the story mode is not good I’m not playing the game for the story Shawn I’m 19 hours in with grinding to get golden Frieza to level 7 right now a level 5 I got goku 1 to max everything outfits for him and got all 7 capsules I’m fucking loving it all 182 characters are now unlocked and paid for. I’m now got 129 orders and 18 percent achievements unlocked on Xbox. I just wish there could be a percent completion for 100 percenting the game. And I’m addicted to this game trying to stop is soooo hard
They also gave Elden Ring a 7, you know what else got a 7... Concord
They did NOT give Elden ring a 7. They gave it a 10 and the expansion
I got it on pc using a steam deck, I don’t feel input lag, but i got a wired controller
IGN GAVE IT A FREAKING 7!
Someone should link him the gamology review
The input delay is very noticeable. I have it on Pc and PS5. I much prefer maining my PC for ranked lol. Wayyyy better. Unreal engine 5 games on console tend to have this issue. But yeah I was planning to main my PC from the start.
I would feel better if i bought it for 49.99. Core game doesnt have any depth to it. Everything simplified, gameplay, story, character idenity and make 30 goku individual charater isnt depth....
if you want cutscenes and allat story stuff go play kakarot. literally same graphics plus open world, and faithfully follows only the story. no pvp or multi.
That's the problem. We're NOT playing Kakarot, we're playing Sparking Zero.
They half assed the story mode, if you have to say "oh play the previous game for story" than your current story mode sucks
only thing trash is ranked with all them damn sweaty vegito and gogeta mains..once u reach A5 it gets disgusting bro😂😂💀
Androids aren’t busted. Them not being able to manually charge ki hurts more than helps.
Melon gave it a 7
17 Nuova Shenron Eis Shenron should be in there too 🤣😂😂
IGN is a joke I thought we knew this already
Reviews in general are stupid more specifically ones with a numbered score. I think they can be a useful gauge especially if you're unsure about something and trust the opinion of that specific reviewer but otherwise pointless
Ign gave Concord a 7 too..
Watch YoungDefiant’s review
Nah that tutorial is but Shawn
I'd give it a solid 8.5
The issue is if you read IGN score metric on their site the review literally reads like a 8 to 9..
Also, he's trash at the game and didn't even know how the accessibility settings work 😂
Reviewer need to be fired he straight up didn’t even know how to navigate the menu lol lying about how you can’t customize outfits on character select when you can
Bruh concord got a 7 you rate music so that’s like sayin the worst rapper or hip hop artist is as good as Tupac 😂
If you were gonna play the mutiplayer I highly recomend the game. If not wait for a sale. Thats how I feel
Things I think bring the game down are that a lot of the transformations are kinda bad and not fluid at all (jiren 😒)
The costumes are kinda bare bones. We didn’t even get boujack gohan or the orange jacket goku and instead we got like 8 different versions of the same gi slowly deteriorating? It’s cool but come on. Melee trunks has no alt costumes that’s a fucking sin.
XBOX PLAYERS STILL CANT FUCKING PLAY RANKED
There are so many lame ass ults. Like the amount of kamehamehas is ridiculous. I get it’s THE dragon ball move but come the fuck on there’s always room to be creative like give ssj dbs goku the “I will not let you destroy my world” attack string as a super or something more unique for like mastered UI. Some of them make complete sense like the instant transmission one for ssj goku or you fool but they definitely copped out for a lot of characters.
I’m editing and throwing another critique in there, I think the menus are annoying to navigate and the character select screen is jarringly ugly.
My last big critique is that they don’t teach you how to do everything in the move list or training. Like for example someone tell me what attacks gero can absorb and what inputs you press to do it. Because the game sure as hell doesn’t tell you
I don’t think this game is goty material, but Im having a lot of fun with it despite being locked out of ranked completely.
I’ll never forget when IGN reviewed a Pokémon a few years game and one of the cons that they wrote for it was “too much water” 😭😭😭😭
I had a stroke reading that, but that’s a wild complaint tho lol
People still caring what IGN gotta say ?
Just tell em Dragon Ball is a Disney property and they’ll give it a 9/10 real quick
Who let him cook?
AYOOOO its not that deep to be hiding just to bean up 34:25
@ 16:15 this is what custom battle is for
Cop out
Y’all just accept anything
i get 7 ain’t bad but ign ranked shit games like sea of thieves and star wars outlaws a 7 too
iv never had more fun ona game that was rated a 7 =)
If you get good and you're a db fan then this game is a 10 hands down
It's not. The story is ass and ranked is an unbalanced mess, with opponents simply disconnecting as soon as they lose. Can't be an objective 10 while problems like this exist.
If you're a wanker that doesn't know any better you'll definitely give this dumpster fire a 10..
Get off yo knees
Game def fun def good balanced def not do I see the same characters in ranked yes do I get sick of spam and unblockable supers from characters that after 1 knock back get a skill to free sparking most def
Waaay too many DB D riders making excuses for this game. Yes, the game is good, but it's far from perfect.
Lock In ceeman
This game is a 7 people be hyping up games that are aight, but be acting like they these games are 9 and 10 when there not. We will see if yall keep this same position in two months 😂, and I feel a majority of people who are hyping this game are in High School or just finished and we’re not there for the OG games or barely remember them, so I don’t fault them these there era so they might feel a bit defensive
I think the story mode is trash!!!
How come? 🤔
@@kxnzo1089 it’s just slide shows.
@@bradboy9232 we’ve seen the story mode in game 947484 times, it just pov of the battles of specific characters in the anime. I think is fine
@@kxnzo1089 I can see that.
@@bradboy9232 so what’s the issue? Is not meant for a full story mode. They even said it before release
Fighters Z is way better. All these 3d flight games are trash
Tf you mean all these 3d games mf the only 3d game out now is Tekken
