what went so wrong?
>>728977025Nothing
>>728977025Too rushed, too empty, it was almost not even necessary to even make. Tenkaichi 3 was so good it made everything that came after redundant. Plus shonen is for spics now.
Nothing. I played the game for free thanks to my local library.
The single-player content is ass, and multiplayer is as broken as you can expect a DBZ simulator to be. Plus they totally botched the post-launch support. The core game is good underneath it all, but everything about how you play said game gets in the way.
>>728977025Not a fraction of the care was put into it that was put into the PS2 games.
>>728977025Just play BT4
>>728977025The art style looks like shit. I don't get why professional developers don't even try to make it look like the anime/manga.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGlkNO1ywkI
>short roster when BT3 had so many>only like 10 stories, and they arent even the whole story for the character (no Super battles for bejita despite him being one of the last 4 in ToP)>no Gohan Black despite him being in the game>not very many what if stories>the menu doesn't have the same soul as the BT games>not enough stages>no chance at manga charactersI envisioned so much more when they revealed the first trailer showing BT3 on an old tv.
worse than kakarot for the storyworse than dbfz for fhe pvp
>>728977025BT3 will never be defeated especially now that modern games have to include DBS slop.
>>728977025Daipa
>>728977025>Completely unbalanced because the focus of the other BT was single player and couch 2p>Limited Couch 2P>No fucking single player content>The focus is online, which doesn't work because of the balanceThey made this game for no one
>>728981526this
>>728977891BT3 became what it was because it stood at the shoulder of giants (BT1 and BT2).SZ was made from scratch so most of the effort was spent on developing every single asset and mechanics. The hard part was already done. The game desperately needs a sequel that builds off from where it was finished, but that's less acceptable these days than it was in the mid 2000s.
>>728982476Unironically I could swear a lot of the Sparking Zero movesets are direcctly ported from BT3
>>728977025> what went so wrong?HE is not there..
>>728982796That's probably the case. That's still a far cry from replicating all of it
Leaning on DLC packs instead of regular DLC drops like Shallot and the fact that only Shallot got that honor and not the remaining missing BT3 reps speaks for itself. That would have saved it short-term, but >>728981526>>728977891Sums it up long-term.
>>728982890I don't get it. Why? Why omit him, Gas, and Moro still besides "muh licensing"?
>>728982476I swear to fucking god if they make a SZ2 soon after SZ1 like they did with XV2 from XV1, I'll flip my shit.
>>728985910That's literally the answer. Dragon Ball always had its rights split up between Toei, Shueisha and Bird Studio. With Super (Manga), there was some messy legal work that didn't get cleared up and with Toriyama dying, that legal mess is full blown with each company taking advantage of it to their own liking. It'll take years, even decades before you see some form of agreement or settlement being made. In a competent environment, this would have been settled by now. It's why the rumors of Dragon Ball Super (anime) getting a remake can happen in theory, Toei owns that and can go about making a remake. The Capsule Corp. can also make new games and anime under their name. You may see a lot of Dragon Ball material, but you won't see them together going by who created what under which banner.tldr Toriyama was a creator, not a businessman. The businessmen run Dragon Ball now.
>>728977025Yeah WTF happened with this game? Everyone was hyping it up but turns out the game is barebones asf
>>728986578pvpfags were braindead for thinking the game would have a competitive scene next to actual fighting games. it's sad, really. they assumed the louder the screamed, the more of a chance their button masher arena fighter would stand next to FighterZ and MvC and have EVO tournaments.
>>728986527lame. who the hell is Bird Studio and what portion do they own?
>>728986797Bird Studio was Toriyama's personal company where he did his work. He and Shueisha co-owned the original Dragon Ball manga. From what I see, Bird Studio has no credits in the current copyrights, it's Toei, Shueisha, Capsule Corp Tokyo and Bandai-Namco and Fuji TV going neck-at-neck to get control of the franchise.
>>728977025Daima DlC killed it
>>728986984geez you weren't kidding, the licensing rights are a fucking mess between too many companies. I guess that's the natural state of things with the entertainment industry when your IP gets too big and handed off to too many companies for individual projects, be it big or small.
>>728977025Only CC2 can make good arena fighters.
>>728987170Daima buried this franchise. Toriyama's death was just the final nail in the coffin.
>>728987178and Funimation also own all distribution rights in the western world.
>>728977025Gameplay, especially at launch, had too many flaws that made PvP cancerous, and it still does.Basic Dashes eating ki and movement being worse than BT3, smash attacks not chaining from other rush attacks, Super Perception existing, the Super Counter window being too generous to mashing, Vanish Wars being too common and slow as fuck, Blast Stocks filling too quickly, Sparking Mode Ki Blast spam, Afterimage Strike and Insta Spark no longer having the ki sickness downside after they end, Then Single player had like no love put into it and the CPU is ass to fight - the best strat was always to just go into sparking and pummel them because the CPU could not approach on their own and got ragdolled by it, but they could counter back if you tried fighting them normally.
>>728989321fuck. I don't know what's worse, having your rights splintered off to multiple different sections or all under a monopoly...
>>728989865You know what I "love"? It's when the rush attack just straight up misses. cpu is standing still and I go zooming past him. I don't mind it they get blocked, but when I zoom past for no real rhyme or reason, it grinds my gears. speaking of rushes, I hate how bad some of them look like thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6W_gWO0kbgI didn't even grow up with bt3, but it's just better. Oh and then there's the lack of costumes. thye could have made bank with costumes, but they just couldn't be assed doing anything. fuck em all
>>728990495>I didn't even grow up with bt3, but it's just better.BT3 goes overboard with blur, screen shaking and visual effectsThat's why throwing out a regular kamehameha in BT3 feels impactful, meanwhile in SZ you're just left there thinking about how thin and weak the beam looks
>>728977025Shitty single player content. Super hogging the cast. Took ages to release the dlc.
>>728989321And Funimation got devoured by Crunchyroll, though the key guys at Funimation are still present, which is why we still get Say-yan and Special Beam Cannon.
>>728992415that stuff is grandfathered in regardless. same with Power Pole, Flying Nimbus, Master Roshi, Krillin, Bulma, and pronouncing 'kamehameha' like the Hawaiian king.
>>728992415>>728992705I legit dropped the dub after hearing the sub and I never looked back. Nozawa is a legend in her field of work, while Sabat is one of the biggest tools in the anime dubbing industry.
>>728993381He's such a fag. bet he'll die with a cock in his throat.
>>728977891To be fair the reason he doesn’t have most of the super fights in his story is because in almost all of Goku’s super fights you can just tag Vegeta in.
>>728977025Daima and Super both sucked ass and this game focues on them and was rushed out just so it would release at the same time as one of them. Pretty simple, really.
>>728977025It just genuinely looks and plays like shit.
>>728993381I had the 'fortune' of not watching the series until I was an adult. I started with the sub and enjoyed it during the kid era, but really just could not reconcile Goku sounding like a woman as an adult. I prefer Nozawa as kid Goku and Schemmel as adult Goku. Different characters I have different preferences for regarding sub/dub. dub Vegeta, sub Piccolo, etc.
