    Yeah the demo just wasn't very good sadly, so I didn't have high hopes for this one.

      The demo didn't even show anything. No city, no story quest, nothing.

    It looked really dull from the first moment they showed it. I like the toriyama vehicle porn, though. Bandai namco anime games are guaranteed to be terrible, it's unfortunate.

      This opinion is mine as well. After looking at their track record on games, I knew they couldn't do those vehicles justice.

      Correct. That's a low score.

        Mmhmm. And this is a high score so it must be good.

      I don't give a shit what game journalists think, most of them don't even like videogames and can't get past the first level/ tutorial level. If a game is too hard (for them) they just get mad and give is low reviews like God Hand.

      Same. Hell, when the game was first announced I planned on playing it regardless if it reviewed well or not.

    Played the demo and didn't know what the frick to do.
    I drove around and found some caves and a ruin.
    Didn't have the parts to fix some radio tower even after looting said caves and ruins, so I don't know if it would have updated the map or something.

    The fighting system is very basic, but having different vehicles is really cool.
    The creative design is awesome, but it's painfully obvious that it's their main selling point.
    Ignore the basic as frick gameplay and empty map with generic shit because le hecking wholesome Toriyama (RIP!!!) designed the characters and items.

    Maybe the main game isn't shit and actually has direction.
    Seems like something I will buy in some years for 20 bucks.

      This. Maybe the bosses get harder later and it becomes important to strategize all the vehicles to win so it becomes more fun and the story gives you some actual goals and direction. It could end up being good, but the demo was bland.

    All the trailers I've seen of it looked like a 7/10 game so I'm not surprised.

    It probably sucks. But 7/10 is a pretty good score for a cash grab game.

      Even DB fans haven't read SL and not many people are watching the anime, not really sure how you arrived at the cashgrab point

        What is the proper category for this companion product slop? It's certainly not a passion project.

    I just realized something, with Toriyama's death a remake of Chrono Trigger is impossible and also Dragon Quest is now in jeopardy.

    • 3 weeks ago

      Nah. Chrono Trigger and Dragon Quest both have a distinct art direction that others can follow in the future, and Dragon Quest will only be in danger when Horii is gone.

    Those journalists should have given it at least an 80 out of respect for Toriyama-sensei's legacy.

    They should be hanged for this disrespect.

      no, they should be honest about it. I pre-ordered this a while ago knowing full well it was going to be mid. I like the manga and I'm interested in how they did it. I will refund it if I catch and localization shenanigans before the refund window is up though.

      You're either going to tolerate the generic open-world slop or you aren't. I like these games so I'll probably like it. Might not be good for the general public though.

      Pretty sure his last work is either DB Daima or the Black Freeza storyline depending on which one he wrote last. Sand Land is pretty old.

    Is it decent as a JRPG focused on vehicular combat? I like both of those genres separately and the promise of uniting them is interesting.

      The part adapted from the manga is about as good as OG dragonball. But that's about 7 episodes. I stopped there because the anime original part is based on some intern's OCs, so i don't care about it.
