Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero Anonymous 10/12/2024 (Sat) 05:53:20 Id: 79b536 No. 1026652

Sparking Zero the successor to Budokai Tenkaichi 3 has now released. Anyone playing it? I can say the game very much feels like Tenkaichi should, if you've played them before you should feel right at home with Sparking Zero. Mechanically, the game is mostly the same as it's always been, but there are a few handy new things to the combat. The skill points that let you use sub abilities and transformations now can also be used for Combo breaker/or attack deflection type moves as well. One thing i've found pretty useful is that inputting the Dragon Rush command a 2nd time can near instantly home you in close to your opponent. One of the minor things about the game that's actually impressive happens to be it's final size. it's only 29GB. So accustomed to newer games being 100 gigs or over, it's surprising when a games size is actually optimized once and a while. In other news, normal fags seem to be getting their shit kicked in by Great Ape Vegeta in the story mode, to the point Bandai Namco's twitter responded. I couldn't tell you what the big deal is with this fight is since I had zero issues with it at all. He just spams Blast moves, but I just did what i'v always done in Tenkaichi for years, Charge Ki to Max, get up close behind him and combo in the back. It works as it always has.

>>1026656 I still think Budokai 1 was a far better version of the story than all other adaptations and materials for DBZ tbh (minus the fact that it didn't get to Buu).

Oh, yeah the game wasn't designed for Split screen, and it wasn't originally going to have it at all, but due to public outcry the devs did implement it into the game, but with the limitation that it could only be played on the Hyperbolic time chamber stage. Due to performance limitations on weaker hardware versions, assumedly. As anyone could have predicted, this has already been fixed with mods in the PC version.

I caught the stream: >>1024950 The story mode was astonishingly bad. I remember people used to complain that Kakarot didn't focus on Goku enough, but at least it didn't skip half the story and tell most of the other half through text boxes over still images. Seriously, the GBA game Supersonic Warriors did a better job than this.

Anonymous 10/12/2024 (Sat) 17:20:44 Id: 79b536 No. 1026765

>>1026711 I'd say the main appeal of the Story mode this time is the "What If" scenarios. It seems like there is just as many "What If" fights as there is Main story ones. You get the Opportunity to diverge off the canon plot constantly. I'll admit it the still frames come off as "Budget" but given just how many Dragon Ball games there have been it doesn't bug me that the plot that everyone has seen time after time is cutting some corrners.

>>1026652 In a nutshell, its BT4. Only sore points: >No DB roster (very minimal. Might be future DLC.) >Story mode is ass. (What if scenarios are very cool but the format means shit ain't explained.) >Price tag is way too much. Been fun playing it. Wish SSBE Vegetable was a transformation, not a fucking single move. Same with Kaiokek, but I guess that means Evolution and Kaioken are equated, kinda. In [Current Year] a game just being dumb fun is a breath of fresh air, and between mods and online play, I don't think this game is gonna fall off that fast. >>1026663 Ah, mods did fix it. >>1026711 I like to think Kakarot was just a project for the dude at Bamco who is autistic about putting in a story mode in every single fucking DB game to get all his autism out. Only DB game I've cared about the story is XV1 and XV2, and they ruined XV2 through the retarded amounts of DLC. Maybe XV3 will be this engine or something. DB games love to reuse assets. I said something similar about Kakarot and who knows.

>>1026765 It's not so much that they used still frames, but that they didn't use enough of them. The story is so condensed that it's barely coherent. Like, during the Android Saga, you fight Android 19 as Goku, then after you win it cuts directly to the scene of Goku Kamehamehaing the ocean, and then it explains that after the previous battle Goku was incapacitated by a heart virus and eventually he got better. Could they seriously not show Goku collapsing before showing him recovering? (I would've also liked the game to mention that Future Trunks gave Goku a cure for the heart virus, but maybe that'd be asking too much.) >>1026773 >I like to think Kakarot was just a project for the dude at Bamco who is autistic about putting in a story mode in every single fucking DB game to get all his autism out. I would totally believe that Kakarot's retcon-sidequests ("animal people are just normal humans taking transformation pills for funsies", "Bulma ditched Yamcha because he cheated on her", etc.) were some turboautist's headcanon.

>>1026892 Subhumans just hate anything that isn't the strongest. It's similar to Yugioh where despite everyone hating the fact the game's devolved into a negate-fest, any deck made that isn't one of those or otherwise meta is considered garbage and hated for not having negates (since deep down they want more unhealthy cards, fucking Konami whales).

>>1027353 Runs fine for me. Bit heavy on GPU speed though. Max settings and it caps out at around 4~ gigs of VRAM, which is pretty good. Stuttering on menu screens, not really a big deal since it isn't gameplay, but is a bit strange. Max 60 fps and no ultrawide support. I don't care about above 60 and I don't have ultrawide screens. Frankly, I'm glad it has okay performance and isn't capped to 30 fps. Oh, and steam input is fully supported, which is nice for when you have alternate (non xbawks/piss station) controllers.

>>1027019 The game is certainly good, it's the same old Tenkaichi gameplay with a few additional mechanics to round things out a bit more. If you want a newer Shinier Tenkaichi that's what it is. The Story mode is there are 8 characters to choose for their stories, and there is a lot of what if scenarios you can branch the path off into, based on you meeting a alt objective in a fight. It does it's job well. Only criticism I'd have is that it lacks some of the game modes that previous entries had, Tenchichi 2's Ultimate Battle Z or it's Leveling up system that added a ton of replayability, or 3 has Sim Dragon Mission 100 and Survival. Maybe they're banking on the custom battle scenarios as filling that gap. If they support this game as much as they have Kakarot or Xenoverse 2 then it could get even better in the future with additional content. I wouldn't blame you if you feel like waiting for a bit, but I don't regret getting the game myself.

I have never played any of the other DB games, only a bit of FighterZ but as far as I know this is a completely different kind of game, is it fun? I'm thinking of pirating it and I might just buy it if I like it enough.

Anonymous 10/17/2024 (Thu) 17:09:58 Id: daaebf No. 1028782

>>1028706 Yeah. If you've ever played DBZ BT3 it's worth a pirate. Also only 27 gigabytes, which by today's standards is on the smaller end. Not sure the price is completely worth it though. 100 bucks if you just want the future content + game or around 75-80 if you just want the game. That's a lot to ask.

>>1028782 Today's standards of games on the bigger end mean you store fewer to choose from, so if you play a game, chances are better that you'll play the bloated game. Today's standards make sense to greedy executives.

>>1026853 >"Bulma ditched Yamcha because he cheated on her" This is mentioned in the manga. It's just an excuse that always sounded like bullshit, given that Yamcha was a total autist that wanted to wish to not be autistic so he could talk to girls, while Bulma was a total slut that showed her pussy to everyone to get what she wanted, and was so hollowed out that she fit an enormous diamond in her cunt (seemingly effortlessly) so she could sneak it out of the Pirate Cave (which she tried to escape by betraying her friends and fucking General Blue to get on his side, only to find out he is gay, and also a pedo in the anime). Yeah, Yamcha became more of a cool guy over time, and a professional athlete in the anime, but Bulma is clearly the one that would be cheating the entire time.
