Only arguably shit games on my list are Heroes and the RB series, and RB is just BT without the insane roster.

I keep forgeting FighterZ exists. I like it and have played it a lot, but I can’t get into it for whatever reason. It might just be because I suck at online though

Xenoverse is possibly the worst of the modern DBZ games because it's the it excels in literally nothing, leaving nothing for people to actually say is real good about because literally anyone who plays the games can just name a game that does X thing it does and better.

PS2 era had trash like the Tenkaichi games, and Budokai games were shallow as fuck. Super DBZ was the only game with any sort of balance.

It's weird how Gohan willingly participated in battles for so long, abandoned his studies repeatedly to train and fight, struggled to win, saw his friends killed right in front of him making it very clear what was at stake, then Cell saga rolls around and after much training with his father, reaching new plateaus of strength, he meets with Cell and he's suddenly a diehard pacifist who refuses to fight. He gives the speech saying he doesn't enjoy fighting, but regardless of enjoyment he should have at least known it was necessary for survival and had enough experiences to realize diplomacy doesn't work on powerful tyrants who've murdered millions.

Because of the context of the tournament, he saw an opportunity for peace

It could also be that it was the first time he had ever been asked to be the victor. Against Vegeta and Frieza he had only ever held the line. With Cell he was being asked to end it once and for all. That shift of objective is probably what sparked his pacifism

The series peaked where it started, with classic DB, and it got the best game in the series too.

I prefer Dragon Ball as well, but toward the end it was suffering the same power scaling issues that Z suffers from. For example, a character can throw a punch which is effective or ineffective, but looks exactly the same thus sacrificing reliability to the viewer. In Z, characters are so powerful that you're not really getting a visual sense of power scaling so they literally have to add power levels and scouters to indicate if Attack A would be stronger than Attack B. You could look at the size of the blasts and devastation, but Piccolo literally wiped an entire island in Dragon Ball so the spectacle was already overblown beyond usable proportions even before Z.

I found Attack of the Saiyans pretty good (at least as a single playthrough deal), but I'd wager it's not what most people were apt to want as a game stemming from Dragon Ball.

The new game looks even worse. Like a giant empty Xenoverse map and you're stuck with Goku. Does anyone give a shit? At least Fighterz tried to capture as much of the series as possible.

Excuse me sir, but your post contains misinformation.

>stubby normals

Cell? Broly? Cooler? Kid Buu? How about any of the various 2Ms that advance your character like Goku, Vegeta, Gohans, and Trunks (and many more)? How about Piccolo jL? There are plenty of big /absurd normals in this game. It's just not Under Night.

>characters with less developed movesets than you'd find in a fucking moba

Taken. Not enough unique moves, in addition to some of them being extremely niche.

>mandatory autocombos

Mandatory?

>no defensive mechanics to speak of

Reflect, Guard Cancel, Option Selects, newly buffed Backdash.

>hard knockdown system removes all creativity from combo flow & makes it absurdly limited

You mean Sliding KD? Hard KD is only for Level 3s. Also many characters don't need or want SKD all the time. See Kid Buu.

>left/rights and throws gutted to pander to children and people who draw dbz fanart

Left / Rights are alive and well with almost every char having an IAD crossup jM option, which is even better in Spark since you can cancel into it from pressure any time. Is DR not a throw? How is it "gutted?"

>worse input delay than xrd

Proofs?

>worse online & lobbies than xrd

The absolute worst part of the game. A massive downgrade and a slap in the face.

>no legacy controller support

I guess this sucks.

>6 gokus

Player demand (JP playerbase especially). I don't like it either.

>no roshi

Agreed this sucks.

Keep in mind this post isn't meant for (you) and more for anyone that might have been misinformed by reading your post. I have plenty of qualms with the game but let's not just make shit up.

Yeah, great game. Maybe for the sequel they can replace all the energy attacks with rainbows or all the punching with friendly headpats

AotS suffers from a severe case of padding and filler that nobody gives a shit about. You spend most of the time grinding against monsters/animals or doing shitty irrelevant quests until the main story can progress.

The problem is it only covers 1 saga, the smallest one at that. It would be better if cut out the useless padding and went up to Frieza. Saiyan and Namek sagas are essentially connected and part of the whole science-fiction space DBZ era. It's a good game but it should've covered more of the story instead of having you fight snakes and animals.

Legacy of Goku 2 and Buu's Fury have the same filler/padding issue but at least those games contain the entire saga.

>>16646255

Worst thing about FighterZ is the roster.

>remove cancerous Super shit

>replace with DBZ character

Bam, FighterZ is now the greatest fighting game ever made. All it needs is a proper roster like Budokai 3's.

He should have already realized that there's ALWAYS going to be some other threat to his world, and his dad wasn't always going to be around to beat up the bad man.

Plus there's no reason he couldn't be a warrior-scholar.
