Maybe I've just played it too much and that's why I don't get enjoyment out of it, but other games I've been playing for literal decades are still joys to this day. And by that, I mean "I feel like I'm playing the base game, I can't wait to see some improvements." But this is the game 4 years after launch, 4 years of DLCs and events, and the game itself is still a spastic, unsatisfying mess to actually play. Seriously, playing Xenoverse 2 now, after spending probably $100 extra on it, I feel like I ought to start expecting DLC and updates now. ![]() Xenoverse 2 is good, but only with a caveat- it's good when you have all DLC, because at that point it feels like the game it should've been at launch. It basically stands on its own as a fantastic product regardless of the license it's attached to and almost doesn't even deserve to be sullied by being mentioned in the same breath as the next two games. ![]() Its story is regrettably poor, as fighting game stories typically are, but I actually respect it because it's trying to tell a completely original story. That's why it sweeps the floor, mops the floor, and then dries the floor with Xenoverse 2 & Kakarot. That fact alone makes it arguably the single best Dragon Ball game ever made. It seems alright, but from what I can tell, there's not much to it.įighterZ isn't just a great DBZ game, but a great fighting video game in general. It's very much a classic PS2-style "whole Raditz-Kid Buu story" throwback experience with more modern open-world RPG mechanics. Lastly, Kakarot, which I haven't played at all but I've seen some playthroughs. The gameplay and story don't appeal much to me personally, though, but there certainly is a lot of content. While the gameplay is more accessible than others in the genre, it can be very frustrating to play online at times due to lacklustre servers and the number of abusable BS mechanics.Įveryone shits on Xenoverse 2, but even though I've not played much of it, I can tell it's a vast improvement over the first Xenoverse, so that's great. A fairly anaemic roster and a really boring story mode. If you're just buying the base game with no Fighter Pass, FighterZ is quite light on content. The game is insanely addictive, the art style is gorgeous, all of the characters are polished and unique (even the Goku/Vegeta "clones"). Personally, I'd say FighterZ is the best by a fairly wide margin, but I am extremely biased to traditional fighting games. Only 3 games, but all of them are at the very least good. I'm glad that with this current gen of DB games, it's quality over quantity. It's the kind of game DB fans could only dream of a few years ago, so it's one you and everyone should play. Kakarot is definitely the way to go, as it's a very massive game, with countless things to do and unlock. You're better off waiting for that as you'll get everything in XV2, Plus its DLC and updates, plus new content. ![]() I wouldn't recommend XV2, as XV3 is probably going to be announced this year for a 2021 release. This is a massive game from a long story mode to all kinds of side quests. This game lets you relive the story of Raditz to Buu. Kakarot : An open world RPG, story focused DBZ game. It will have around 50 characters by the time the remaining DLC is released, less than XV2, but the focuses here is on the fighting mechanics. ![]() Xenoverse 2 : A 3D fighting game that focuses on letting you make your own character and playing with a huge roster of around 120 characters.įighterZ : A competitive 2D fighting game that focuses on skill above all else. DB couldn't be in a better place right now, as there are 3 main games with each having very high production value. We went from respectable games on the PS2 to unfinished trash for 7 years. You're lucky you didn't get into DB games on PS3 as 2008-2014 were the dark ages of DB games.
