Poll: Are You Playing Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero?

I don't know if I played any of the Budokai Tenkaichi, but I still have a couple of the older Budokai games for PS2. I really enjoyed these, but goodness, how many times can you possibly retread the same story beats? This game does look cool, but it'll be one I watch on Twitch.

Where is the poll option for "No, because my next quarter of gaming will be consumed my Metaphor instead."? 🤣

I wonder if it’s any better than FighterZ 🤔

@guardianoftime They're two different things. It's like comparing Dynasty Warriors to DMC - not that I'm saying either game is the same as those two, just that FighterZ is a traditional fighting game and Sparking/Budokai Tenkaichi is like a DBZ sim.

@IntrepidWombat "how many times can you possibly retread the same story beats"
The story isn't really the focus, to be fair. They just always have a story mode because people expect it, and the story is already established. This isn't aimed at you, just a general observation, but it's funny how Zelda, Pokémon and Mario never get accused of this despite being original stories that could do anything and aren't being based on a pre-existing story in another medium. Like if every FF was about trying to stop Sephiroth summoning Meteor.

I'm tempted to get it but I bought Metaphor and don't like the idea of spending another 80 quid. Maybe next month though. Tons of games out this month.

Absolutely I'm playing it, the game is everything I wanted and more. I haven't had this much fun with a Dragon Ball game since probably Budokai 3 & Tenkaichi 3!

I played a little of one of the Budokai games way back, but I don't know, I just never liked how they played. I think if you have a history of playing "traditional" fighting games it can sometimes be hard to get into games like these.

I actually had a lot of fun with Super Dragon Ball Z back on the PS2. I know it was not all that popular compared to Budokai. It was much less flashy but it controlled like a Street Fighter game and was made by an SF2 designer.

Fantastic game! It's making me feel very old with the speed and technique required to win, but I guess it's just going to take some time and practice. 10 out of 10 for this DB fan

No, i don't have any plan to play Sparking and i probably never play it.

And i think i played a bit of Budokai Tenkaichi 1 on PS2 but i also played the "predecessor" Super Butoden 1-3 on SNES, Buyu Retsuden on Sega Genesis, and GT Final Bout on PS1. Heck, i played the turn based RPG (forgot the title) on NES eons ago.

I enjoyed Dragon Ball; from reading / collecting the 42 volume manga, gacha cards, action figures, played the games, watched the movies etc. But i'm just done with the series. I salute anyone who still follow and enjoyed the series though.

Best Buy messed up my order, no clue when the game is actually coming. Guess I’ll be playing metaphor this weekend.

I've played all the BT games but I have never really enjoyed them much compared to the original Budokai games. Budokai 3 is probably my second most favorite dragonball game with FighterZ being first. Man I wish we got another Burst Limit game though, that was the one game that got me wanting an XBOX 360 a long time ago.

I will bit probably on a deep sale since on couch coop you can apparently only use one stage, which is BS

I’m on holidays, but my copy is waiting for me at home. My friends can’t wait for me to come home for us to start playing this gem.

This could have been a day one for me, but based on the reviews, and as mentioned in a previous post, the Local Multiplayer/Split-Screen being only available in one map is a huge letdown for me considering that Local Multiplayer is the only reason I would buy this one.
There is a mod for that already in PC, but this is better in a console I think. If they add a patch for it down the line while it is on sale then count me in. Until then sorry but no.

DBFZ is the only DBZ game i’ll play

Shocked at all the nos
