So , why 30/40 ?!! they didn’t give a reason
- TheGameTagerZ
  
  Well the 3 on 3 lag, repetitive missions was what probably brought the score down some.
  - AzIz
    
    i don’t know why repetitive is negative in a Dragon Ball game , seriously , what did they expect ?
    - Dmankey
      
      repetitive is negative in any game standards especially with online being the spotlight of this game dbz is no excuse. The replay value has to overthrow the repetitiveness in scaling with not just how cool it is to customize people or fighting. The score feels like somthing is telling me the game will feel the same no matter what teacher or class you are, i’m also scared and confuse if thats a bad thing or a good thing.
      - AzIz
        
        we know from the beginning that most/all characters will got possessed and change the timeline , i can’t really think of how to not make them repetitive in a dbz fighting game , just fighting over and over , at least there is a new villains and saga , if repetitive is a negative here , it should be the same for all DBZ game , and this isn’t the first game with lag , everyhing else looks good to them from what i’ve seen , so why the score lower than BOZ ??

        Of course repetitiveness is a negative in games!!! what you’re saying doesn’t even make sense lool… if repetition negates the experience then of course its bad! they aren’t saying its repetitive as a statement but saying it as a way their experience was dampened.they said the MISSIONS you do turn repetitive not the gameplay, there’s a difference
      - Juan Ray González
        
        the thing is that EVERY SINGLE GAME is repetitive if you think about it… I guess you’ll get tired of playing this game faster than any other game
        
        Dmankey
        
        lol and that’s why theirs no such thing as a 10/10 game

        word!

        Please stop famitsu popular in japan not US please dont go based off this additionally these are there individual opinions on top of that they scored this lower than every dbz game except revenge of king piccolo scored it lower than battle of z lower than ultimate tenkaichi lower than budokai 3 and tenkaichi 3
        
        Dmankey
        
        sorry but, I rather trust Famitsu more then IGN especially when it comes to anime games, they don’t go by the inner fandom of it being a dbz game but a fighting game in general, but of course I don’t listen to any reviewer when it comes to buying ‘MY’ own games, even though some reviewers tell you to buy or don’t. Famitsu is simply warning people that buy the game , what is to come of it when you buy it. I don’t care about the score but their warnings of repetitive missions and laggy 3v3 on a DEDICATED SERVER OUTLET, are actually helpfull for me, cause games coming of this age are definitively not worth 60 bucks.

        They said Battle of Z was the 2nd best DBZ game of all time based on their ratings so no, they are not trustworthy

        It’s dragonBall z a 30 year old tv show, that we’ve watch 1000s of times, it could be your first go on the game and it’ll be repeative lol but us fans love that, this games for the fans not just anyone who can play gees
      - Seth Robinson
        
        ” copied and pastaed from other comment ” Why would you get a game where there is levels and stats and not expect some sorta GRIND, god forbid it doesn’t have a grind, I think it should’ve gotten higher for being the genre it is, repetitive missions would’ve been HORRIBLE if it was open world or something
    - ltrigby
      
      So true, it’s dragonBall z we all ready no the story and out come! This game is only made to please dragonBall z fans simply put you don’t like it don’t play it, less dxxks for us
  - Bobby Jennings/Godless
    
    Damn…lag? Did they play it on PS4? I was not expecting any FPS drops.
    
    This is because they want to still make it for previous gen consoles…
    - DI
      
      yeah cause all the ps3 and xbox 360 games are laggy :v
      - Bobby Jennings/Godless
        
        Can’t tell if sarcasm.
        
        DI
        
        Im not surprised you cant tell
        
        Bobby Jennings/Godless
        
        Ok.
  - Seth Robinson
    
    3 on 3 lag is because of the servers atm which you can’t blame for being so new, not the games fault, the repetitive missions? Why would you get a game where there is levels and stats and not expect some sorta GRIND, god forbid it doesn’t have a grind, I think it should’ve gotten higher for being the genre it is, repetitive missions would’ve been HORRIBLE if it was open world or something, but its not sooooooooo yeah.

      It’s a review of their opinion on the game. Not a special scroll that people have to obey.

  Hi. XD

  ikr and if you read the review paragraphs they sound like they enjoyed the game alot so how’d ultimate tenkaichi and sparking meteor get a better rating from them
  - AzIz
    
    Yup , they just give 2 critic points , the lags and repetitive ( assume they meant Towa’s possession ) which is stupid
  - Bilal Prince- Ali
    
    just because they enjoyed the game what does that mean you expected a perfect score…? :S
  - finalform11 .
    
    Any site that rates this game lower than Ultimate Tenkaichi is no longer valid to me. The game was a 60$ rock paper scissor simulator with DBZ and character customization pasted on.

These reviewers don’t get games these days. If you don’t expect things to repeat then you might give a biased opinion. This review is compromised.
- Masso
  
  I accept the first 3 reviews, but the last one… he is complaining because he wanted more hand holding in the game to make it easier for him… he disliked it because he was not good at it, not because it’s bad… as you said, BIASED
- Bobby Jennings/Godless
  
  It’s your own personal opinion. They didn’t give their opinion for you to like it.
  
  You have your own and they have their own.

Great Review, buying the game
AzIz

Also thanks for the theme $
Anime Nation

i want a new scan but thank shonen
- HystericalGameZ
  
  I’ll get right on drawing a scan myself so that you can have one.
  
  Just give me a minute.
DI

lag in 3 vs 3? aint nobody got time for that, it has been like that since the beta they better fix it with a patch or something cause I dont see the point of having a mode you cant play
Alex

And i thought IGN was bad.
Bobby Jennings/Godless

Not surprised. I also felt the controls were kinda….iffy when I played the test. I wasn’t expecting FPS drops for 3v3s either. Hopefully they just played on PS3 or whatever. I was looking forward to smooth gameplay on the Current-Gen consoles
- Twain Speaks
  
  I played the beta and the more recent builds, the game is a lot smoother in comparison to the beta.
  - Bobby Jennings/Godless
    
    Can you confirm this 3v3 delay on the PS4?
Skorm94

Hope they fix the lag problem quickly after launch

Saiyanisland took the scan and reworded our translations. Why am I not surprised.

  Aren’t you used to it by now? xD

Does anyone know what I have to do, in order to strengthen my custom character? I heard that there were some type of missions that helped with that. Don’t wanna miss my chance to get the dark character versions.
- Jordan Maurice
  
  For your created character you lvl up from time patrol quest which is the story mode and parallel quest that are the side missions you do not lvl up or gain experience in online battles or offline single play battles I have no idea about world tournament or endless battle
  
  Info from me playing all 3 network test scans and bandai namco
Ikki Minami

Oh we’ll I’m still really pumped for it I already have money bets going around on winning vs my friends and let’s be real it’s very hard to make a fighting game not “repetitive” I’d rather them focus on gameplay vs story
Twain Speaks

The fact that they gave BOZ a better score than Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and Budokai 3 gives me a reason to not take their review seriously.
