Thoughts on Dragon Ball Kakarot?

>DBZ story
>Saiyan and Frieza saga AGAIN
Should have been a dragon ball game where you explore the world as kid goku but fuck it the same troglodyte normies will buy the same garbage over and over again so the game company has no reason to make something new.

DBZ fans are as stupid as fifa fans.

I like that they use the OST from the anime. That's about it.

But Kikuchi's soundtrack is abysmal.

they included nimbus just for the fanservice of it so I'm hoping you can also use the power pole in fights

There's no reason to retell Z again

Dragon Ball stopped being good after the Frieza saga ended.

They’ve rereleased this exact same game like every year for the last decade, it’s worse than sports games at this point

it never gets boring
it's a great story

This exactly. And they get mad at you if you bring this up.

based

>It never gets boring
You couldn't be more wrong.

This

I swear I played this game like 16 years ago with Budokai 2. All these DBZ games look exactly the same. It's always the same story. The gameplay hardly even changes. How do they keep getting away with releasing the same game all. the. fucking. time.

I think it looks amazing. It's the DBZ game I've always wanted. Fuck the haters.

I was hoping for Dragon Ball Sagas but better and got something closer to Xenoverse.

It'll probably be average at best

This, but unironically. The DBZ fanbase is worse than the Pokemon fanbase.

An RPG as Kid Goku would actually be cool. It would be refreshing to get another game focussed on the original series and his more limited powers would make the RPG elements shine through more.

Legacy of Goku 3

This. At least Xenoverse and FighterZ had something different for their story modes. I thought we were done with rehashing DBZ.

No, Nintendo fanbases are usually the worst when it comes to shit like this.

*no american

Play Origins on DS or Revenge of King Piccolo on WII

So will this not be covering pre-saiyan saga stuff?

It was the most blatantly obvious direction to take a project like this in, but nope. Gotta appeal to the zoomers who only know Z and maybe Super.

Attached: angrydome.gif (213x201, 415K)

No, Pokemon is the single worst Nintendo offender and the fanbase shits on every new game, but they keep buying them and complaining.
DBZ fans never get enough of it, and are actually happy for the same exact game every time.

Would be a nice surprise, maybe it'll be DLC if the game is good.
I can dream.

Exactly why a game on it could be marketed as "tHE oRigIn oF thE HeROO GOKU"

Just make it a "prequel" to Dragon Ball Z. Retards will lap it up.

>play these games for the FUCKING DS and Wii
>In fucking 2019
nigger that's just proof that Dragon Ball is fucked in 2019. Also even if I still owned both of those gimmick consoles, I am sure those games are just ok at best.

yeah this honestly
what is the fucking point unless you're going to give the story life with something like a choose-your-own adventure angle? give me a game where if I loose to raditz, I go to the spirit world but if I win, I face nappa and vegeta without kaio-ken. if I run from raditz he just starts destroying cities and other characters chastise me. where I can train with krillin to the point where he's actually useful against nappa and vegeta.

Guys I like Dragonball too but think seriously for one second, do you honestly think they can commit the time into making an open world engine and NOT doing the Frieza saga in it?
This is a new angle so they need to make sure it works before they start doing unusual sagas with it.
I hope that the base game is good first and then they expand on it with the young Goku stuff later.

Then you have tons of options to choose. Launchfags on the other hand are lucky to get their girl mentioned in even throwaway dialog.

This. Fighterz is kinda the most perfect Dragon Ball Z game we'll ever have. It pains me to see other studio trying to milk something out of the IP.

>any dbz thread ever
>Ree same story ree

I don’t care as long as you get to play it differently. The gameplay so far looks ok, just hoping it’s fun to play really.

DBZ games were already perfected. Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and 3 for anime simulators and FighterZ for a fun fighter. Yet they still shit these games out every year or so. Xenoverse is terrible and this will be too. DBZ as a whole kinda sucks too. It was cool back in the day but shonens of the 2000s were way cooler and more interesting than powering up for 5 episodes and WOAH DID YOU SEE THAT ATTACK shitty commentary while retards just do nothing except punch eachother. No creativity.

>combo>rush>air attack>rinse repeat

Fun game!

>they expand on it with the young Goku stuff later.
Nigger this IS the later. Dragon ball Z has been popular for the last 2 decades. They have had time to do other things. This DBZ just sells user.

Opinion eternally disregarded.
Next!

I mean what about Dragonball? What about Super? Hell, even a GT game would be fresh at this point. But that would be too much for ask because then the developers wouldn't be on padded rails.

I bet you thought this was witty and clever. Maybe if you go to Reddit where this post clearly belongs you'll get the validation you need.

Dragonball fights are supposed to be bullshit so it checks out.

Who knows. Maybe we will get some super as DLC if it sells well? I still think a battle royal dbs game set in the universe survival arc could be fun. I think Japan got a game or arcade like that.

CC2 is really mediocre

>no argument

I accept your concession. You can leave now.

Go to bed Master Roshi.

He has a shitty name.

Should have made it focused on DB as a long ass but fun (as in not treating players like retards) linear tutorial then make DBZ part of the story be made up by the player, have all the enemies ready to fight but you have to get the means to go through them, drop voice acting and code in a shitload of diverse text depending on how the story goes, a game like this should have been made by now since it pleases both DB fans (mostly all the jap audience of the franchise) and give the international one something new.

It got old exactly the moment Ultimate Tenkaichi released, at least include more shit from the movies.

It only goes up to freiza on namek so personally as a DB fan, it's shit to me

>it doesn't include the shit parts, so it's shit
makes u dink

It looks like imo. I'll check it out. I've been looking for a dbz game like this

How are they making a Z game based solely on Goku when Goku does nothing or is out of comission for like 80% of Z.

>It looks like imo.

As a DBZ Fan it is annoying that it's going through the story again, but this is the only game they've made so far that looks like it's trying to recreate the right style. Even if older games went through the story, the cutscenes were shit, usually only using pre-made animations from gameplay, A LA budokai tenkaichi games.

I do need at least cell. If it stops at frieza its a deealbreaker. Also even though its called "kakkarot" if you can't play as other characters, at least fucking gohan, then i'm dropping it.

One more thing its fairly obvious that if this game gets decent enough sales they would probably make DLC for the dragon ball super sagas. or even do DB prequel sagas. It's all entirely possible. Besides, 12 Minutes of gameplay isnt quite enough to determine a whole games worth

>DBZ Kakarot
>only covers the Saiyan Saga and Freiza
>Goku was barely in both of those
There has to be more, right?

>Just make it a "prequel" to Dragon Ball Z.
They did.

It only goes over a story that's been told countless times that everybody already knows, so it's shit
They've not even shown anything beyond it so i doubt it

sounds promising
open world dragon ball game where you fly around and meet old characters with flashy graphics.

>FighterZ
No one wants to play the mary sue's story.

So will i spent almost the entire game in a bed or on a ship or dead so i can really feel like Goku?

Man i know 10 year olds now who love DBZ. This shit will never end.

No shit DB is like the Beatles of anime

Kill yourself

What is the point in continuing to re-animate and re-voice the same scenes over and over again for each game?

I swear the voice actors can probably quote nearly all their lines from memory because of how many times they've had to say variations of them over and over.

This, i fucking love dbz but this is getting retarded its the fifa of fighting games now

Being the most popular jap show in the world allows you to have a dozen chances to give a different presentation to the same cutscenes a million times, Tenkaichi 3 got cucked out of presenting well the story despite being the most iconic game so they decided to give it another go 10 times, this is probably the best the scenes have looked though.

A significant enough population to never acknowledge anything Dragonball other than Z apparently.

There are really good games based on original DB though, just nowhere near as many as there are DBZ ones.
GT has it the worst with vidya anyway.

Original DB at least has good games like Advanced Adventure, Revenge of King Piccolo and Origins 1/2.

GT has only two, one of which is extremely shitty and one of which is ok namely Final Bout and Transformation respectively. The latter is made by Legacy of Goku devs and is essentially Legacy of Goku 4 but they changed the genre from RPG to sidescroller beat'em up because they wanted to one-up Advanced Adventure (and failed).

Significant enough in terms of sales and marketing sure, but you're greatly underestimating just how many people in the world there are outside of America and other anglo states.

CC2 excels at over the top animation and coregraphy: Asura's Wrath and the naruto game's super animations are some of the best animated stuff in the entire industry

see webm and

youtu.be/fclqwb0Wysw?t=35
youtube.com/watch?v=y-PudD1UrvU

The fact that none of the DBZ Kakarot footage so far shows this trademark crazily animated stuff is EXTREMELY worrying. A DBZ game with tons of CC2's signature animations could be amazing, but there's absolutely none of it seen so far, which is baffling.

And so is Japan, which is why this thread even exists.

>And so is Japan, which is why this thread even exists.
Are you implying Japan never watched original DB? Because that's factually wrong, they have constant reruns of original DB, Z and even GT on TV.
In fact GT is the most popular in terms of reruns.

Asura's Wrath was the best anime I ever played.

>db is all adventure
Replace that with "db is slapstick comedy" and it's perfect.

They're underestimating the relevance of any point of Dragonball that isn't Z, hence why the same 3-5 arcs are the only ones that are ever covered in gaming media.

Long as it goes up until the Buu Saga im good.

This, honestly. All DB games either lazily reuse the anime's story, which stopped being cool after Budokai 1, or they make their own story that inevitably ends up being weak and shitty.
Like, holy fuck, Xenoverse has such a shit story. So did Fighterz and that's one of the few Dragon Ball games to actually put effort into its original story.
Why can't they just get it right for once?

That's less of a problem with Japanese fans and more with Toei and Bamco.
They do this not because Japan doesn't like or care about DB, but because they want MAXIMUM SHEKELS and design their games around worldwide appeal and not Japanese.
That's why it's always Z shit because that one is popular everywhere including America which is one of the most lucrative markets around.
tl;dr it's all profit oriented

learn to play the game

Same story I know by heart again. Not interested.

Another pointless year of hoping the cycle is broken.

You could have the perfect open-world, searching for the 7 DBs randomly generated.
You could play as Kid Goku with his nimbus and brute force, Bulma with her capsules,Oolong with his transformations, or Yamcha with his speed.
Have fun wondering in a world created by Toriyama, one of the best monster and mechanical designer. With its roundish stylet tha please both eastern and western audiences.

We have the 1000th version of Goku's story from the sayan saga to whatever power-level cap crap, I don't care anymore.

>tHE oRigIn oF thE HeROO GOKU"
Fuck off back to Facebook

Any updates on Earth Special Forces?

Not those anons, but what part of RPG like adventure is so hard to understand? Revenge of Piccolo is a mediocre beat em up/platformer, not to mention basically an inferior version of Advanced Adventure for GBA.
There's also the Origin games on DS, but I've been playing the first one and while I dig the low poly graphics, it isn't really what I was looking for.

No.

Bruh I love everything Dragon Ball related, but this seems boring as shit. I've read the manga a thousand times I don't need to see the shitty pacing of a videogame telling me the story I know by heart. FighterZ was great, they could have either dropped another fighting game with a different take or some early Dragon Ball fighting game or beat em up like DB Advance. This just looks like a fucking slog.

Sales actually had been dropping pretty badly until the started spicing up the games with stuff like Xenoverse's custom character and time travel original plot. This will be the first game in 10 years retelling Z's story with nothing extra.

Although I hope people are still tired of it and it fails again, since I don't want the games returning to this.

Dragonball Fighting Games are becoming as generic as they did with the Naruto shit releasing a new version every year recycling the same shit over and over again and just adding the newest arc.

Dragonball Fusions had Kid Goku as one of the main characters, although most of the cast was from Z or Super with some GT thrown in too.

Attached: 1560255263927.png (440x537, 19K)

Because early Dragonball lacks many fan favorite characters from Z. Even Yamcha and Kuririn aren't around for a lot of the story and you only get Piccolo during the 23rd Budokai, which is usually ignored by DB games since they'd need completely different sprites/models for the cast there.

This is an adventure game though...

>This is an adventure game though...
As much of an adventure as the naruto shit. You probably just run from one check point to another

Yeah, but Fusions was a different thing to anything else entirely. Fun concept, but having so many characters you couldn't actually fusion within the game and needed to use the streetpass thing kind of killed it for me.

We probably are getting other playable characters, that's likely the big reveal they're keeping for later. One of the mission markers mentioned going to a certain place "as Goku" which would be pointless if you couldn't play as someone else.

Give me xenoverse 3 , wtf is this trash that nobody asked for.

>99% fodder

There is a really big world and quests that don't involve fighting too. The game also was designed for single player, so it's essentially different from something where the enemy characters need to work like the player character too.

If they didn't have to release a Dragon Ball game yearly, do you think they would actually try something original?
Or would it just be the same shit but slightly more polished.

After Xenoverse 2, they actually changed to cycling between games developed by different companies, so they're all getting a lot of development time.

And an action game through Z, rather than a fighting game, was likely thought to be an original idea by them.

I still hope it fails though because fuck retellings at this point.

The world exploration is good but the combat is repetitive af,it looks boring after 2 min, basically Xenoblade but with random health on enemies

23rd Tenkaichi Budokai is basically Z, "too fast to see" movement, beam spam etc.
Piccolo Daimao marks the end of original DB as far as I'm concerned.

how many times are they going to repeat this storyline?

Literally everyone that aren't U7, U6 and U11 were cannon fodder.
They were so irrelevant that they all got knocked out offscreen in the manga, anime at least TRIED to give them screentime.

Mario Maker 2 is that. It has a default single player campaign this time, even with a hub.

It's almost like the climax of the frieza arc was the emotional and action GOAT in dbz, and they had no reason to continue but they did and everything afterwards felt pointless and excessive

You know what I want? A dbz TRPG where you can split the party as much as you want, the story threads just happen and how you deal with them is your own problem. Everything is just alternate timelines, and solving problems. Everything is on the same time scale though so if a character dies between raditz and sayian saga. You only have one Rez, if you're bad and picolo and Goku die you can only get one back that year.
