Because it’s a genuinely good game with very little micro transactions. The people that made it know the fanbase and clearly are fans of it as well. no political bs. God bless.
@@ryanhorton9594 Also Sifu, Ghost of Tsushima, Rise of the Ronin. Btw, I love Black Myth Wukong too myself, but it's harder than Sekiro to play at all imho...!
Because it's the best Dragon Ball game since Tenkaichi 3. The graphics and combat are fantastic. The story mode leaves something to be desired, but that really doesn't matter because everyone has played the story mode over and over in other games. Plus, we can basically create our own story mode in Custom Battle, which we've never had in a Dragon Ball game before. The What-ifs are great. This game is Number 1!
That's funny because that's actually not the case. A lot of the AI fights feel very cheesy with the CPU spamming the same abilities over and over again. Playing clean or trying to pull of a choreography like we are used to see it from the Animes doesn't get rewarded often. Also, the transformations feel unsatisfying. Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot does a much better job when it comes down to making fights look cool.
I don’t really care about online pvp in this game tho, im just playing everything ive wanted to do, and tournaments and stuff, as well as story and custom battles
I think I have to echo what others are saying about the unlockables. I can grind the game for the characters I want without having to spend money on micro transactions. It’s a love letter to DBZ that doesn’t try to squeeze money from me at every menu.
@@Juandirection1 Yea bro, just go to explain that to all the cry babies who are already shouting at the "microtransactions" terms, when the only pay dlc that I have seen, is the Goku Daima preorder dlc one so far.🤷🏻♂️ Geeez, some players really like to complain for anything about the modern gaming though.🤦🏻♂️
@@SamuraiKensei276some people like to complain, others like to play shield and sword for their favorite company, as if they cared about them ....ooppss
Some obviously know this. But some extra info on the name. In Japanese the series always had the "Sparking" title. For example 3 was called Sparking! Meteor. I'd like to think that Zero maybe implying going back where it all started. But with hiw videogames are released these days it makes sense to make the title the same globally.
Reviews of this game are WAY OFF. It's getting 6's and 7's. This one of the most enjoyable fighting games I've ever played. But if you're a Dragon Ball fan... it's an absolute must-buy. Also, very little micro transactions. The aesthetic is unlike anything I've seen in gaming.
As another utuber said, games like this should be reviewed by a fan of the franchise. The fan service is insane, anyone remotely interested/invested in Dragon Ball would LOVE this. If we look at the intention of the game, they 10/10 nailed it. Even if we say there is always room for improvement, any rating below a 9/10 is purely a lack of interest and kinda feels disrespectful. I've never been a big fighting game fan, liked Tekken and MK occasionally but I was more of a mouse+keyboard kinda guy. This title not only made me double my game spendings this year, also got a controller for it. I'm so glad to see the industry is starting to get back on track and out of the (woke) woods, we gotta heavily support such titles so the devs can see: IGN doesn't speak for us.
@@tonycruz5643 normally that's true, but a negative bias ain't better than a positive one, and StarWars Outlaws getting the same score as Sparking Zero is beyond retarded.
Honestly I love that dragon ball z fighting games come out every 4-6 years it shows that they truly put in lots of effort into the next game and don’t simply just update minimal things like sports games.
Not sure, is it for the 182 unlockable (without paying a single real cent) charas or because the combat system, is quite close to the previous Db Budokai Tenkaichi and Db raging blast chapters perhaps?
@@Grandpabeatdown Yeah, because Db Z Kakarot is mainly focused on Goku story, it's literally an action rpg db saga based to the core so far, instead the pvp in Db Sparking Zero, is the top notch one, not even Db fighter Z stands a chance against it imho. As Db Xenoverse, is a prank about that though, but it shines when it comes of both custom charas and co-op mode. Anyway, I was referring to the side stories of Sparking Zero, which they are rather short and incomplete on each arc (Gohan/Vegeta/Piccolo/Frieza) at all. And yes, this is really the best Db game ever made by far, the db budokai tenkaichi series they always have been the best of all db titles after all, asking for more as of today, it would be rather greedy, but some dlcs they might compensate the lack of some specific contents (arenas/stories) in due time too imho. Good or bad it is, I expect the fanbase to grow esponentially day by day imho.🤙🏻 P.S. sorry for my limited english.
@@RenegadeSpider2 fair enough but honestly my mind went to budokai games is because well technically speaking they are fighting games and plus that was title of the game i grew up with at least in my opinion.
The only thing so far I've found lacking is the fact that it's always a 1v1. There is no option to have multiple fighters going at it at the same time. It would be pretty cool to have the characters that are at a fight also be present in the stage.
The only thing I TRULY dislike... DB, DBZ, DBGT and such never had "Gen Z" words in it. They just do it now so kids feel more related. I think it's a shame, Akira Toriyama wasn't like this. It's a Toei Animation thing.
The game really didn’t click with me right off the bat. Something felt off turns out. I had the modern control scheme and not classic like I was used to. And it’s like 17 years of experience came pouring back into me in an instant. Loving the combat system.
Same experience, the first hour had me puzzled until I went to training and looked at controls. Went to classic and I felt my muscle memory kick in immediately.
I haven’t play a Dragon ball game since PS1 Japan vision 2D fighting game. Playing sparkling zero is fun to me. I’m enjoying the solo games what if and practicing combos
Ngl the graphics are literally a dream the way the attacks look and the smokescreen they create just beautiful. Playing this game brings me such nostalgia from when I was 12 years old playing Tenkaichi 1,2,3 for hours on end during the weekends
its simple a great game: where u dont have to waite for bugfixes or feeling of the game is unfinished at its core. rich in content, good graphics, easy to learn but hard to master deep gameplay. its simple godlike this game.
But powerlevels are not correct in this game. I will not get it. I am tired of seeing fighters in games, which in real Dragon Ball would never have an even match.
@arkadiuszjandylewski152 Sorry to say, but power levels were never a thing in dragon ball games? Name one dragon ball game that had you one shotting a character that you were way beyond their league. Plus, it makes the game more fun, and I can use my boy yamcha without worrying about being one shot.
Because it’s actually a good game which should not be real. This should be a game in this generation where there are only 90 characters and the rest are dlc, but the amount of love poured into it surpasses that. The gameplay is so smooth and fun too
I just can’t get enough of the depth in the combat as you continue to play, and inevitably get whooped, forcing you to learn the mechanics. You could absolutely play this as a button masher, but holy crap does it REALLY shine when you start mixing up different tactics, strings, and amazing defensive techniques. This game f’n rules.
I will say this, dp battles are my favorite mode to fight in for ranked You get 15 points, and can use a wide range of the lower value characters or just 1 really good one and a decent character on the side It just feels more fun to play with more characters than be stuck with one really good character, also allows me to play more flexible and diverse, letting me adapt to players using a single really good character and making them have to try harder to adapt to my wider range of characters.
its simple really, it is the greatest embodiment of the sentence "Damn, I love this anime, I wish that there was a game that perfecly encapsulates the feelings I have when I watch it and allows me to do what I'm watching!" Sure, it is not perfect, it can be better, but it is for Dragon ball what Marvel Spider Man from ps4/ps5 was for spider man as a game and entertaiment product, and that is ignoring the nostalgia factor of those wishing for a Budokai Tekaichi 4 for 17 years...
You could even ad element damage like in the anime Pikachu couldn't damage a rock type but if the rock type was submerged in water it was super effective
The last time I invested this much time into a DragonBall game was waaaay back on Budokai 3. I have been unable to put the game down. Now that I know how to perform both combos and all the different counters...i just can't stop 😅
Bc its the only game in 17 years that didnt forget the fans make the company. SZ was made with 100% intent on keeping it true to the series and didnt sell out to big companies for money.
@@SonicTheHedgehogX15 exactly. Will there be dlc of course. Will there be a store? Maybe🤷🏻 if they wanna keep this game straight dlc and keep XV2 as the money pit im cool w that. XV2 is trash anyway😂
It's a blast to play. I'm not even a huge dragonball fan. Watched it as a kid about 20 years ago. And I've been having so much fun with it. Plus that Unreal Engine 5 makes this game one of the best looking fighting games I've ever played. Its flashy, has really fast combat, and is really easy for newcomers to learn.
Gameplay is fast, fun, powerful, and controls are simple enough, but there are moves that can be pulled off causing some crazy combo comebacks and beam clashes and grab, dash clashes too
Who would have thought releasing a fully made and complete game, with plenty of content which treats the source content with love, will sell alot. Madness !!!
Idk if imma buy any DLC, unless it maybe perhaps more GT villains. I am big fan of GT characters and also would like to maybe see other GT villains and characters in general that we've never gotten in ANY Dragonball game so far. Like Bio Broly!
A very solid game. Amazing game play. All characters unlockable just by playing the game outside of DLC characters from DAIMA and Superhero. Zero predatory micro transactions. Game is a winner.
I haven’t been able to sit down and play yet unfortunately, I bought the ultimate edition but unlike when I was a kid, I am working on a very demanding PhD 😅. I hope to play it atleast a few times this week though!!! Been listening to reviews and it’s overwhelmingly good! Im very excited to play 😊
Because it's the Tenkaichi 4 basically... the freedom of movement, the show-like fighting features instead of cutscenes or little 'movies' being played. The broad spectrum of playing co-op, pvp, 4vs4, etc.
One thing I like about this game compared to others in the BT series, is how it feels much more open. I feel like in the previous entries, even though you had 3D movement, it always felt kinda linear. Like, your movement almost always involved a straight line towards your opponent. Not sure this is making much semse, but in this game i just feel less boxed in.
Cuz it's what every videogames saga should do, if they had a peak game, they just need to bring the same back just with pretty graphics, that's all, people loves peak OG gaming, this it's another proof of it
It depends what youre looking for in this game really. The story Mode wont satisfy you that much but if you enjoy Budokai Tenkaichi 3-like combat then its perfect. Personally I dont regret buying it at all and though the story is lackluster, Im enjoying all other aspects of thsi game. The said combat really makes it feel like a proper adaptation of fighting from Dragon ball into a game and not some Stamina based combat like in XV2 or the Mugen kind from FighterZ. All in all as I had mentioned at the start, it really depends what youre looking for in this game.
Universe 6 tournament arc tho imo wasn’t that great I mean yeah it introduced the whole multi universe thing but that’s about it. Most of universe 6 is forgettable except for hit cabba and frost
@@__________________________5338also I’m glad for some characters certain arcs were skipped cause I’d rather not replay the same battles with every character
Well the story isnt the main seller.. but you can recreate those fights yourself… the main point of this game is the fighting and all.. so idk get it if you eant want
Fighting games arent my thing but i got early access for this. Sunce then ive started battling online and have pulled off a couple wins in ranked. This game is fun and theres alot to it, i dont see myself getting bored anytime soon. Might need a new controller after time lol
Game is fun but ranked is toxic af already soon as you get to.B tier Master roshi spams a beam attack thats unblockable not figuertaively but literally and theres yajirobe senzu span which is actually less annoying then master roshi some how these need to be fixed asap makes it almost unplayable
It's really fun. Only complaint is that online is a mess. Needs a way to balance fights or an option like only cell saga characters. Super characters etc. If not fighting the same characters and being forced to play as only the best ones is a shame
First, it's because the devs cooked, I mean "medium rare with a perfect sear" cooked! They took everything great about budokai tenkaichi 3 and multiplied it by 1000! They've used the things learned from DB Fighterz and DBZ Kakarot, things like art direction and dramatic attacks. The soundtrack is 🔥 and really sells the battles. The sense of speed is borderline too fast, add the tactics you have to use to win, fights really feel high stakes. If there's anything I have to complain about, it's the few missing characters I'm sure we all want, plus a couple of different costumes/skins, which may come in the future anyway. I'm hoping for some Dragon ball heroes characters one day.
Why is there not a single comment about the communication error being highly rated? Do not buy this game until the online has its shit sorted out. It is unplayable due to the communication error and to top off Bandai wants to punish you for the game disconnecting on you. If it keeps happening they’ll ban you from ranked online play even though you didn’t quit a single match. The game fucking FORCES you back to the room.
We need a definitive Edition with all content on it on Disc in a few years, and since the game only has 27 Gb for now, we can assume that this would be easily doable
It’s a fantastic game with minimum to no micro transactions and it’s simple to get into you don’t need to remember millions of combos for different characters. All characters have same combos so you can play with anyone!
Nostalgia is carrying this game so hard. Dont get me wrong its fun but its incredibly over rated. 66 characters are made up of 6 characters so the roster isnt 182. Every character shares the same moveset more or less, the specials are all the same more or less with a different colour. Fun but definitely not worth £70
It’s the most fun I’ve had with a dragon ball fighter since Budokai 2. The what if’s are fine, custom battle I need to get on, but the story mode? Spoiled by Kakarot, it just pales in comparison.
I really can't understand.... i'm a huge DB fan, and i played Budokai and Tenkaichi back in the days... but here i feel like the game has nothing except characters that look cool. And regardless of my love for the original material, it takes more than that to keep me engaged in a video game. The story mode is a joke, nothing close to Tenkaichi 2 or Budokai 3. It's a boring power point presentation, skipping over tons of content, with barely any voice over... The gameplay is tedious at best, controls are barely tutorialized, with no context, AI is super spammy and not progressive. And who ever thought it was a good idea to map parries on R3. I'm sincerely happy for those who loved it... but i just can't understand and i am very disappointed.
You definitely didn't play this game, this has some of the deepest combat in any tenkaichi or budokai game, the graphics are beautiful, the online is great and every character feels different. Also if you played Tenkaichi, you'd know that they never care about the story
@@Rohgamu I played an hour and half and got both bored and annoyed... Also, i loved the story mode in Tenkaichi 2. But, to each their own... i'm glad you like it, i just wish i didn't waste 100$ on it.
They finally listened to the fans that buy their games by modernizing the best series of fighting games they made instead throwing dung at the wall seeing if it sticks (aside from fighterz)
Great video! The only thing that I do not agree with is that you guys said this game is more beautiful dragon Ball game ever and I don't agree because fighterz is even more beautiful come on now
I think its nostalgia 1, hype 2 , 3 Gen Z not being around to play Budokai 3 and see how much it improved from 2 before Tenkaichi made it a button smasher, 4 posers that want to play what's hot
We got a sequel to the 17 years old BT3 before GTA6 💀 (not that I care about GTA) I still have only played it a bit (shame on me) but I can tell the nostalgia hit + the outstanding quality have already reinvigorated my emptied self. So not a "7/10 good" thankfully 😆
i have been playing diablo iv vessel of hatred ... and i prepurchased this game. Need to play more DBSZ! Why did they release them at the same time 🤔🤔🤔
wrong! The online servers are thrash!! Which clearly states that the developers did not make this game for solely playing online! The bonus battle tournament and episode battles are the meat and potatoes of the game! Stop making assumptions

Sure, it is not perfect, it can be better, but it is for Dragon ball what Marvel Spider Man from ps4/ps5 was for spider man as a game and entertaiment product, and that is ignoring the nostalgia factor of those wishing for a Budokai Tekaichi 4 for 17 years...
The roster is insane with all the fighters being very different from eachother. I never thought I’d have Dabura as one of my mains
Imagine the Pokémon game we could get if Bandai Namco partnered with gamefreak or if the Pokémon company just gave the license to Bandai for a game
They did for pokemon snap
@colingriffin4463 I've always imagined a game like buddakai tenkaiichi but with Pokémon
You could even ad element damage like in the anime Pikachu couldn't damage a rock type but if the rock type was submerged in water it was super effective
The last time I invested this much time into a DragonBall game was waaaay back on Budokai 3. I have been unable to put the game down. Now that I know how to perform both combos and all the different counters...i just can't stop 😅
This game is (so far) a testament to nostalgia and leaning into aspects of past games that fans loved. Can’t wait to get good 🙃
Bc its the only game in 17 years that didnt forget the fans make the company. SZ was made with 100% intent on keeping it true to the series and didnt sell out to big companies for money.
Fr theres 0% micro transactions and characters are unlocked through skill and in game currency
@@SonicTheHedgehogX15 exactly. Will there be dlc of course. Will there be a store? Maybe🤷🏻 if they wanna keep this game straight dlc and keep XV2 as the money pit im cool w that. XV2 is trash anyway😂
I believe “Sparking” is the original Japanese title. This is a love letter and build up of hard work done in this series
It is
It's a blast to play. I'm not even a huge dragonball fan. Watched it as a kid about 20 years ago. And I've been having so much fun with it. Plus that Unreal Engine 5 makes this game one of the best looking fighting games I've ever played. Its flashy, has really fast combat, and is really easy for newcomers to learn.
Gameplay is fast, fun, powerful, and controls are simple enough, but there are moves that can be pulled off causing some crazy combo comebacks and beam clashes and grab, dash clashes too
Who would have thought releasing a fully made and complete game, with plenty of content which treats the source content with love, will sell alot. Madness !!!
Because it’s a game that is exactly what we wanted with nothing forced in. It’s a love letter to DB fans and we’ve waiting for YEARS
Idk if imma buy any DLC, unless it maybe perhaps more GT villains. I am big fan of GT characters and also would like to maybe see other GT villains and characters in general that we've never gotten in ANY Dragonball game so far. Like Bio Broly!
If anything, bio broly would be a skin.
A very solid game. Amazing game play. All characters unlockable just by playing the game outside of DLC characters from DAIMA and Superhero. Zero predatory micro transactions. Game is a winner.
Because we have been waiting 17 years and it was worth the wait also I don’t even like fighting games but I enjoy this one
I haven’t been able to sit down and play yet unfortunately, I bought the ultimate edition but unlike when I was a kid, I am working on a very demanding PhD 😅. I hope to play it atleast a few times this week though!!! Been listening to reviews and it’s overwhelmingly good! Im very excited to play 😊
Because it's the Tenkaichi 4 basically... the freedom of movement, the show-like fighting features instead of cutscenes or little 'movies' being played.
The broad spectrum of playing co-op, pvp, 4vs4, etc.
A big part I feel alot of people aren't talking about is the Dragon Ball Super support in Sparking Zero.
One thing I like about this game compared to others in the BT series, is how it feels much more open. I feel like in the previous entries, even though you had 3D movement, it always felt kinda linear. Like, your movement almost always involved a straight line towards your opponent. Not sure this is making much semse, but in this game i just feel less boxed in.
Cause it’s fun, simple.
Cuz it's what every videogames saga should do, if they had a peak game, they just need to bring the same back just with pretty graphics, that's all, people loves peak OG gaming, this it's another proof of it
I've had to stand up and go Super Saiyan in real life to beat some of the opponents in this game 😂
Lol true
I don’t even have it yet and I love the game :’)
Love this game, took 2 vacation days off at work to play this game so i had 5 days all together to play it i barely been sleeping .😅
3:09 Final Shine?
In short, its fun and nothing else
I’m just glad there’s not a style point at the end of the match
Is it worth 70 dollars though? I'm still holding out. No universe 6 Arc? Incomplete storymode? $70!?
It depends what youre looking for in this game really. The story Mode wont satisfy you that much but if you enjoy Budokai Tenkaichi 3-like combat then its perfect. Personally I dont regret buying it at all and though the story is lackluster, Im enjoying all other aspects of thsi game. The said combat really makes it feel like a proper adaptation of fighting from Dragon ball into a game and not some Stamina based combat like in XV2 or the Mugen kind from FighterZ. All in all as I had mentioned at the start, it really depends what youre looking for in this game.
They have. if you reach level 20. Take note NOT EASY TO REACH LEVEL 20 😂😂😂
Universe 6 tournament arc tho imo wasn’t that great I mean yeah it introduced the whole multi universe thing but that’s about it. Most of universe 6 is forgettable except for hit cabba and frost
@@__________________________5338also I’m glad for some characters certain arcs were skipped cause I’d rather not replay the same battles with every character
Well the story isnt the main seller.. but you can recreate those fights yourself… the main point of this game is the fighting and all.. so idk get it if you eant want
*Literally coolest thing ever* "Why do people like this so much???"
Fighting games arent my thing but i got early access for this. Sunce then ive started battling online and have pulled off a couple wins in ranked. This game is fun and theres alot to it, i dont see myself getting bored anytime soon. Might need a new controller after time lol
Game is fun but ranked is toxic af already soon as you get to.B tier Master roshi spams a beam attack thats unblockable not figuertaively but literally and theres yajirobe senzu span which is actually less annoying then master roshi some how these need to be fixed asap makes it almost unplayable
Did you say Vegeta's "Final Shine" attack?
Final shine is ssj4 vegetas attack
@@SonicTheHedgehogX15 didn't know, thanks!
It's really fun. Only complaint is that online is a mess.
Needs a way to balance fights or an option like only cell saga characters. Super characters etc.
If not fighting the same characters and being forced to play as only the best ones is a shame
First, it's because the devs cooked, I mean "medium rare with a perfect sear" cooked! They took everything great about budokai tenkaichi 3 and multiplied it by 1000! They've used the things learned from DB Fighterz and DBZ Kakarot, things like art direction and dramatic attacks. The soundtrack is 🔥 and really sells the battles. The sense of speed is borderline too fast, add the tactics you have to use to win, fights really feel high stakes.
If there's anything I have to complain about, it's the few missing characters I'm sure we all want, plus a couple of different costumes/skins, which may come in the future anyway. I'm hoping for some Dragon ball heroes characters one day.
Why is there not a single comment about the communication error being highly rated?
Do not buy this game until the online has its shit sorted out. It is unplayable due to the communication error and to top off Bandai wants to punish you for the game disconnecting on you. If it keeps happening they’ll ban you from ranked online play even though you didn’t quit a single match. The game fucking FORCES you back to the room.
We need a definitive Edition with all content on it on Disc in a few years, and since the game only has 27 Gb for now, we can assume that this would be easily doable
It has 182 Characters. Still very impressive
Jun furutani needs so much credit
Man I don't even buy games full price anymore, rather wait on a sale. But I HAD to pre order this shit!! 😂😂. Well worth it! 👍🏿
Because it’s actually a good game
For a moment I thought he said modern audience… thank the gaming god he meant hardware.
It’s a fantastic game with minimum to no micro transactions and it’s simple to get into you don’t need to remember millions of combos for different characters. All characters have same combos so you can play with anyone!
Because it's a gorgeous and electrifying continuation of the greatest dragon ball fighting game of all time. It's freaking Tenkaichi 4 basically
It is also officially Tenkaichi 4
not sure about "millions" since on Steam it is only 120K concurrent at the current peak, but it does seem to be a good game for DBZ fans like myself.
In my opinion easily GOTY.
Way too niche for that imo, but I'd love to see it happen.
Nostalgia is carrying this game so hard. Dont get me wrong its fun but its incredibly over rated. 66 characters are made up of 6 characters so the roster isnt 182. Every character shares the same moveset more or less, the specials are all the same more or less with a different colour. Fun but definitely not worth £70
I'm just waiting for the king piccolo DLC
I love it but I never knew how slow my reaction time was until I played other ppl
It’s the most fun I’ve had with a dragon ball fighter since Budokai 2. The what if’s are fine, custom battle I need to get on, but the story mode? Spoiled by Kakarot, it just pales in comparison.
Because it was made for fans and gamers, not for shareholders
NO POLITICAL BS, NO WOKE MESSAGING!!! JUST FUN ACTION PACKED GAMEPLAY!!!
Idiot.
The combat footage kn the video here are very mild. Its better when you are fighting more quickly and intensity levels are higher. It IS addicting
I really can't understand.... i'm a huge DB fan, and i played Budokai and Tenkaichi back in the days... but here i feel like the game has nothing except characters that look cool. And regardless of my love for the original material, it takes more than that to keep me engaged in a video game.
The story mode is a joke, nothing close to Tenkaichi 2 or Budokai 3. It's a boring power point presentation, skipping over tons of content, with barely any voice over...
The gameplay is tedious at best, controls are barely tutorialized, with no context, AI is super spammy and not progressive. And who ever thought it was a good idea to map parries on R3.
I'm sincerely happy for those who loved it... but i just can't understand and i am very disappointed.
You definitely didn't play this game, this has some of the deepest combat in any tenkaichi or budokai game, the graphics are beautiful, the online is great and every character feels different. Also if you played Tenkaichi, you'd know that they never care about the story
@@Rohgamu I played an hour and half and got both bored and annoyed... Also, i loved the story mode in Tenkaichi 2.
But, to each their own... i'm glad you like it, i just wish i didn't waste 100$ on it.
Yea i too am disappointed a bit
@Rohgamu 😅 sounds like its you that didnt play those games man
They finally listened to the fans that buy their games by modernizing the best series of fighting games they made instead throwing dung at the wall seeing if it sticks (aside from fighterz)
Great video! The only thing that I do not agree with is that you guys said this game is more beautiful dragon Ball game ever and I don't agree because fighterz is even more beautiful come on now
I think its nostalgia 1, hype 2 , 3 Gen Z not being around to play Budokai 3 and see how much it improved from 2 before Tenkaichi made it a button smasher, 4 posers that want to play what's hot
We got a sequel to the 17 years old BT3 before GTA6 💀 (not that I care about GTA)
I still have only played it a bit (shame on me) but I can tell the nostalgia hit + the outstanding quality have already reinvigorated my emptied self.
So not a "7/10 good" thankfully 😆
because it wasn't made by Ubisoft
Yet for honor, watch dogs, ac, riders etc are all better games 🤣
@@SteezysWorldlies
Because it’s fun
You are welcome
The best thing about this game is that Americans will finally pronounce it's name right.
i have been playing diablo iv vessel of hatred ... and i prepurchased this game. Need to play more DBSZ! Why did they release them at the same time 🤔🤔🤔
And yet it still takes me forever to connect to an online match
Why don’t we have a YuYu Hakusho game like this or Kakarot yet
THE POWER!!!!!
love it but im so tired of going against Gogeta's and MUI goku's. literally the most OP characters in ranked.
wrong! The online servers are thrash!! Which clearly states that the developers did not make this game for solely playing online! The bonus battle tournament and episode battles are the meat and potatoes of the game! Stop making assumptions
People who call themselves 'gamers' are a unique breed . . .
Yes, I'm a guy who enjoys playing video games, but that's not be all and end all of my life.
It feels like an old game like when gaming was good haha
