I would maybe recommend waiting for it to go on sale, but it could be months before they decided to let the price drop. Unless you're like a huge fan DBZ, gameplay is just casual enough to make you question the $60 price tag.

$50 on steam, now.  Though if you want to grab the GT pack, it would be $60.

I've been watching DBZ Kai on Toonami for a couple months now, and now I really want to play this game, but I can't because of my brother's intense irrational hate for any kind of anime, or pretty much anything from Japan. I can watch the show without him knowing because it's on after he goes to bed (the filthy casual) but I can't hide games from him because he insists on barging into my room like an asshole to see what I'm doing every five seconds.

What is it you would think he would do if you were playing it?

A similar situation happened to me when it comes to an outside source giving interest.  Though in my case, it was the Break Through the Limit / Even Further Beyond fanfiction.  It's one of the best I've read.

But anyway, that quickly turned into me ranting. Is there anything bad about this game that might make me not want to get it? Or is it just as amazing as they say?

I find it really good.  Treating it as an RPG rather than a Fighting Game is probably a fairly large part of my enjoyment.

You know, there is something immensely satisfying about having only won by the skin of my teeth in prior battles with Mira, but in the final one going Super Saiyan and just curb stomping him.  Especially since Super Saiyan carries over into the cutscene afterwards.  And this is only having stats equal to one level gain from the prior fight (which had me run through the fight at level 29).

[nenjin]

Yeah, I recall being the crap out of him too, as though he almost didn't put up a fight. (Think he used his Super twice.)

The AI is super inconsistent between story characters.

[Sirus]

Mira's not all that difficult, really.

[BFEL]

You...had trouble beating him the first times? Seriously. Dude is a fucking pussy.

[kcwong]

This game's only difficult when these conditions are present:
1. Enemies with Super Armor
2. Multiple Super Saiyan enemies spamming ultimates
3. Weak and stupid NPCs you have to protect

[Sirus]

I personally have a lot of trouble when it's just you against 3+ enemies. Like in one of the new time patrols, where you fight the entire Ginyu Force at once, and all are much more powerful than they were previously.

The AIs don't seem to know what to do if you are just moving away while firing simple ki blasts. Mix in some short dashes, a quick knockback combo if you can, and you will be able to avoid them all until your AoE skills are ready.

AIs in the line of fire anyways. The ones on your flanks will light you up with Supers, especially the Saiyans.

DLC2 is out. 4 new playable characters, Pan as master, new PQs, skills, costumes and Z-souls.

The DLC's are turning out to be a lot more substantial then originally thought...

[nenjin]

So, are they worth it? On paper it seemed like a minimal addition to the game. Is it three or four PQs and the skills for the characters, or a lot more than that?

Even if its just that its quite a bit more then was originally feared. I was hearing reports that the DLC were all just going to add one character and that was it.

As far as I can tell, many fighting game DLCs only add 1 character per pack (with 1 story mode), or just 1 pack for multiple costumes. I'd say the price is quite okay here.

Only 2 PQs in this DLC instead of 3 like last time... but I haven't entered Time Vault yet, there *might* be more there.

Some additional changes:
1. They moved your master from at the bottom of the stairs to the notice board in the middle of the plaza.
2. After a PQ you are put in the middle tunnel leading to the plaza.
3. I suspect they listened and improved the RNG results.

The new PQ:


Has these to offer:


I got two equip, one Z-soul and these in one go:

4. Max level has been increased. Since you stop getting XP after 80, I'm only 81 right now and don't know about the new max.

I'm not sure how you are supposed to land Towa's ultimate... it has a similar mechanism like Blue Hurricane, but you can't move the AoE.
Edit: Turns out her Ultimate is for healing.

Great, now I'm stuck reading fan-fictions again!
