They literally raige beating us, think about it. For how many years IGN been around? They know how people think. At this point i'm not even surprise because they literally embracing their meme
So let me get this straight IGN: You guys give the review of one of the most anticipated games of this year to some guy who CLEARLY doesn't give a F about DBZ, AND is also pretty f'ing trash at the game?
Hey guys looked like you put "7" instead of "9," might want to fix that. Couple of notes: There's another more intricate training mode, you CAN edit items on characters in game modes, the difficulty curve makes the game better because it's more rewarding. You guys were like "This game's amazing, but the menus are kinda funny so 7."
Sounds like you went into this “review” looking for things to complain about. Having to go to another screen to customize shouldn’t matter when there isn’t load times. If you sit and figure out the controls it’s fun and challenging. Go sell cars
@@jamessutton8756 The crazy part is you DON'T have to goto another screen to customize....you can do it from the character select before any/all matches. They straight up didn't even play the game.

And what's funny is that the game has MAJOR issues that these nerds wanna ignore just because its DragonBall lol. IGN puts out an honest and fair review for once and they get flamed for it smh
I think the guy just didn’t know how to play the game. If you’re new you need to train with piccolo for at least 3-4 hours to make the story not miserable. Couch pvp also helps a lot. This review was probably rushed
Ah yes, the game/series where the angels who are the strongest in the verse are literally flamboyant as Hell apparently is "machismo" 💀 No they gave it a low score because they're a terrible gaming review company, doesn't have anything to do with that idiotic reason you stated.
Im a huge DBZ fan, I bought the game, i played the game... and a 7/10 is more than fair. It has a major issue with the classic vs standard controls in online, an issue that the developers are taking their sweet time to handle. Theres a save file corruption issue. The story mode is made up of slide shows. There is a lack if additional modes. No survival modes. No towers. No co op tag team. The customization that they promised us is severely lacking, like how does Raging Blast 2 have better customization?? Remove the nostalgia goggles, the game is good, but it aint perfect.
For me, imo they should’ve included all the BT3 characters into this game and then just include all the new characters that weren’t in the previous games. And maybe update the moveset for the original characters. I think that would’ve been cooler. And the thing about most of the story mode being a freakin’ summary slideshow or whatever, I thought that was just laziness on their part. They could’ve at least included voiceover for the slideshow parts but they didn’t. And for a game that’s supposed to have 180+ characters, it don’t seem like it to me 🤷🏻♀️ I like the game I think it’s great, but tbh it could’ve been better
Each reviewer is subject to their opinion….but with that said seems like this one doesn’t get the game. Not saying it’s a 10 but the depth of mechanics and quality of content seems like an easy 9 or at least 8.
You can press Start in the character select screen to customize a character during character select. You can also press L1/R1 during character select screen to instant select them and skip the whole animation.
Listen, I am normally very critical of anime games because they are usually lazy and play like ass with Bandai usually just expecting the fandom to buy the game regardless of quality. This aint it chief. This is a truly magnificent sequel to the glorious Budokai Tenkaichi games. It's a 9/10. And only because the Story Mode is 85% slideshows instead of cinematics. For a Dragonball fan, this game utterly blows Xenoverse 2 and FighterZ out of the water, both great games in their own right. It's frankly not even close. I feel like a kid again playing this shit.
Another example of how stupid IGN this day is !!! A really fun game with 8.8 User Metacritic score like this but you gave 7 ??? While IGN gave 8 to Vessel of Hatred currently has only 3.7 User Metacritic score. IGN will be the next Ubisoft !!!
Lmao i remember people being mad, because they were in the honeymoon period of the game. Ign was generous, the game is 6. Theres nothing to do but story mode andbthe worst online experience.
@@kevinwaller657 bruh the game is only good in online and pvp. Everything else is buns. We're missing iconic maps,story mode is awful,they overhyped customization (some characters don't even have those options), episode battle is very limiting It your not playing pvp or against the cpu, I wouldn't recommend a 70$ game to anyone
Let me review the game real fast for them. Sparking zero teaches you the basics during story mode however they have an advanced training menu to help anyone looking to learn. The story mode with its slide show cutscenes is a tad lazy however the what ifs and the 8 story lines make up for it in my opinion. The online is incredible except for Xbox players unfortunately struggling at this time but hopefully not for long. Ranked using the DP system actually feels fair instead of the unbalanced mess many claimed it could be. Offline play needs some new maps but the fact it was never planned and they added it just for us is a huge win. All in all while the game like anything has some flaws the magic of the Budokai Tenkaichi series that captured the hearts of so many can be felt in this game from unlocking things without real money down to pure combo action anime fights. It’s graphics are next level bringing what everyone has hoped for to life and with planned dlc this roster will not only be insanely massive but hopefully have all the missing characters we don’t have but until then I’m giving sparking zero a 90/100 or a 9/10
LMAO this guy is a joke right off the bat he already started crying how hard the game is. He's not as good as he thought he was and thats why he gave it a 7. Most of his complaints were user error. Get good lil bro or go back to fortnight hahahaha
Bandai Namco has monopolized this fandom so much, that IGN can't give it anything but a 10/10 or they'll get backlash. Just look at the comment section, so many people here are lying to disprove IGN, or overstating non-issues.
This reviewer isnt a good reviewer confirmed , more than half of the time the guy just spat out lies , providing wrong information to everyone. A seven out of 10 is crazy for a game of this level , its a 8.5 at minimum with the only thing people might be upset with is the story not being fully told and animated sure BUT this is an anime game for anime fans who most probably have watched the anime or read the game and even played other dragon ball games with their retelling of the story so real fans of series dont really care , the new what if scenarios we got were amazing add ons and are a wonderful addition to the franchise. So the problem with this game is non dragon ball fans crying about the story mode... That just flat out goes to say how hype the game is and how well it sold breaking records , numbers dont match with your review Ign. Ngl this review might be your downfall
Anime games don’t really get more than a 7 most of the time because of how many people have to play the same old gameplay and how there’s other games that aren’t anime related so that’s doesn’t mean the game is bad but it’s just not a game of the year kind of thing but I think they should make a different kind of game of the year call it anime game of the year because anime games don’t get game of the years because it just gets people to play it just off the titles so they don’t give it game of the year so that’s why i think they just have a separate category for game of the year’s
You would think being called a joke by the entirety of your own comment section repeatedly in every video would make IGN rethink any of these ... But no...
You would think DBZ fans already realized that game reviews are completely subjective, but no. They instead feel actual anger over… gasp! Different opinions!
Why do yall keep watching ign, if every time they give a score of you disagree with you run to the common section saying stuff like” this is why nobody takes them seriously anymore” yet here you are after about six years of complaining, whose the clown them or you?
For once I agree. Try it yourself. Never seen a tenkaichi with such a delay in controls. Takes literally 1.5sec to move to defense even if you pressed circle during the opponent move animation. Can’t select characters at the same time but one player at a time. Just one split screen map. If this isn’t enough to give it a 6-7. Just graphics and animations are a 10, but this ain’t a tenkaichi for it’s smoothness combat, a shame
I did and haven’t experienced any delay in controls at all. So I don’t know where that complaint came from but it’s not there. Not able to select characters at the same time sucks and only having 45 seconds to choose 5 characters is also bad as well. This game is not a 7/10 I don’t care what people say.
It sucks. Wasted opportunity to actually make a good DB game with updated mechanics, rich in movement, animations and physics. It's a turd of a game. I prefer the original
This game is $70. Has slide show story, an incomplete story. Not fully voiced. No Universe 6 Arc. Multiple characters with same transformation to pad out numbers and still wants $30 for a season pass. PASS
PEOPLE CAN JUST ENJOY THE GAME AND THE STORY MODE.. ALL THEY WORRY ABOUT IS GETTING MICROTRANSACTION AND NOT ENJOYING THE GAME.. PEOPLE ARE SO LAZY THESE DAYS MAN

@@masenko3815 IGN and companies with similar practices like ubisoft buy a lot of comments, whether through bots or actually hiring people, the video has 3k+ likes, nobody in their right mind would ever give a like to this video normally even if you dont like sparking zero simply because of all the inaccuracies in the video.
Its very obvious too, every single top comment has at least 2 comments under their thread of people rage baiting or supporting IGN.
Probably one of the greatest anime games of all time & still got a 7. Easy 10 for me. Especially for Dragon Ball fans.
No its not !!! theres no local pvp option which past db classics were known for !!! game feels empty without it !!!
‘Anime game’ is an extremely low bar, people literally use that term as an insult. And even then this series never managed to achieve the sheer variety and attention to detail that many Naruto games have.

Really? A 7? You have the wrong reviewer for this game. Can’t really trust IGN at all. This game is at least an 8.
They fix the connection issues and the classic control bug and the game is minimum a 9. If they find an effective way to punish rage quitters then all the better
I'm convinced Gamespot and IGN have been around so long they give these spiteful reviews just to seem snobby or elitest when all the other smaller newer gaming companies/channels are just enjoying a game.

Hey guys looked like you put "7" instead of "9," might want to fix that. Couple of notes: There's another more intricate training mode, you CAN edit items on characters in game modes, the difficulty curve makes the game better because it's more rewarding. You guys were like "This game's amazing, but the menus are kinda funny so 7."
Sounds like you went into this “review” looking for things to complain about. Having to go to another screen to customize shouldn’t matter when there isn’t load times. If you sit and figure out the controls it’s fun and challenging. Go sell cars

@@SereneChanges one character? Lol ok
@@SereneChanges Bro was just making a joke, it was NOT that deep bro😭🙏
Im a huge DBZ fan, I bought the game, i played the game... and a 7/10 is more than fair.
It has a major issue with the classic vs standard controls in online, an issue that the developers are taking their sweet time to handle.
Theres a save file corruption issue.
The story mode is made up of slide shows.
There is a lack if additional modes. No survival modes. No towers. No co op tag team. The customization that they promised us is severely lacking, like how does Raging Blast 2 have better customization??
Remove the nostalgia goggles, the game is good, but it aint perfect.
Right with you there people are so happy they got tenkaichi back they are ignoring the flaws i think
For me, imo they should’ve included all the BT3 characters into this game and then just include all the new characters that weren’t in the previous games. And maybe update the moveset for the original characters. I think that would’ve been cooler. And the thing about most of the story mode being a freakin’ summary slideshow or whatever, I thought that was just laziness on their part. They could’ve at least included voiceover for the slideshow parts but they didn’t. And for a game that’s supposed to have 180+ characters, it don’t seem like it to me 🤷🏻♀️ I like the game I think it’s great, but tbh it could’ve been better
Whoever is mad that it got a 7 go to sleep. You're lucky it ain't get a Zero. That game is horrible.

They just gave it a 7 since it's the only way people will still look at their channel if they give a bad review
IGN must has been sponsored by the Frieza force cause there is no one on Earth who would give this game a seven
This game is a loving letter to the Tenkaichi series players. It is worths a try.
Each reviewer is subject to their opinion….but with that said seems like this one doesn’t get the game. Not saying it’s a 10 but the depth of mechanics and quality of content seems like an easy 9 or at least 8.
You can press Start in the character select screen to customize a character during character select. You can also press L1/R1 during character select screen to instant select them and skip the whole animation.
We waited 17 years... 17 fuking Year... This is the BEST for Modern Days...
xenoverse 2 got a 7.5. saying this game is worse is crazy
8:34 HUH? But it’s your job to figure it out???
Listen, I am normally very critical of anime games because they are usually lazy and play like ass with Bandai usually just expecting the fandom to buy the game regardless of quality.
This aint it chief. This is a truly magnificent sequel to the glorious Budokai Tenkaichi games. It's a 9/10. And only because the Story Mode is 85% slideshows instead of cinematics.
For a Dragonball fan, this game utterly blows Xenoverse 2 and FighterZ out of the water, both great games in their own right. It's frankly not even close. I feel like a kid again playing this shit.
*As we’ve all learned from IGN…a 7 means it’s actually a great product. And anything above a 7 is actually worse than a 7.*
TV _She-Hulk_ got an 8. All we need to know is that IGN reviews do not reflect reality.
Shadow Generations ironically got a 9.
just the last fight in story mode between goku and jiren was a master piece 100/10 most beautiful fight ever

How can you see the dislikes?
Let me review the game real fast for them. Sparking zero teaches you the basics during story mode however they have an advanced training menu to help anyone looking to learn. The story mode with its slide show cutscenes is a tad lazy however the what ifs and the 8 story lines make up for it in my opinion. The online is incredible except for Xbox players unfortunately struggling at this time but hopefully not for long. Ranked using the DP system actually feels fair instead of the unbalanced mess many claimed it could be. Offline play needs some new maps but the fact it was never planned and they added it just for us is a huge win. All in all while the game like anything has some flaws the magic of the Budokai Tenkaichi series that captured the hearts of so many can be felt in this game from unlocking things without real money down to pure combo action anime fights. It’s graphics are next level bringing what everyone has hoped for to life and with planned dlc this roster will not only be insanely massive but hopefully have all the missing characters we don’t have but until then I’m giving sparking zero a 90/100 or a 9/10
LMAO this guy is a joke right off the bat he already started crying how hard the game is. He's not as good as he thought he was and thats why he gave it a 7. Most of his complaints were user error. Get good lil bro or go back to fortnight hahahaha
The character models look flawless in this game and only rival DB fighter Z imo. Definitely will be picking it up.
skill issue....that's why they gave it a 7
Bandai Namco has monopolized this fandom so much, that IGN can't give it anything but a 10/10 or they'll get backlash. Just look at the comment section, so many people here are lying to disprove IGN, or overstating non-issues.
This reviewer isnt a good reviewer confirmed , more than half of the time the guy just spat out lies , providing wrong information to everyone.
A seven out of 10 is crazy for a game of this level , its a 8.5 at minimum with the only thing people might be upset with is the story not being fully told and animated sure BUT this is an anime game for anime fans who most probably have watched the anime or read the game and even played other dragon ball games with their retelling of the story so real fans of series dont really care , the new what if scenarios we got were amazing add ons and are a wonderful addition to the franchise.
So the problem with this game is non dragon ball fans crying about the story mode... That just flat out goes to say how hype the game is and how well it sold breaking records , numbers dont match with your review Ign.
Ngl this review might be your downfall
You guys took such a long time to release this review, yet come up with the decision to give this game 7/10!? Dafuq!? Lol 😂
Anime games don’t really get more than a 7 most of the time because of how many people have to play the same old gameplay and how there’s other games that aren’t anime related so that’s doesn’t mean the game is bad but it’s just not a game of the year kind of thing but I think they should make a different kind of game of the year call it anime game of the year because anime games don’t get game of the years because it just gets people to play it just off the titles so they don’t give it game of the year so that’s why i think they just have a separate category for game of the year’s
Punctuate!! Goddamn bro.
You would think being called a joke by the entirety of your own comment section repeatedly in every video would make IGN rethink any of these ...
But no...
You would think DBZ fans already realized that game reviews are completely subjective, but no. They instead feel actual anger over… gasp! Different opinions!
@@8bitdiedie but bro didnt even play the game, saying blatant misinformation half the time in his review
Why do yall keep watching ign, if every time they give a score of you disagree with you run to the common section saying stuff like” this is why nobody takes them seriously anymore” yet here you are after about six years of complaining, whose the clown them or you?
For once I agree. Try it yourself. Never seen a tenkaichi with such a delay in controls. Takes literally 1.5sec to move to defense even if you pressed circle during the opponent move animation. Can’t select characters at the same time but one player at a time. Just one split screen map. If this isn’t enough to give it a 6-7. Just graphics and animations are a 10, but this ain’t a tenkaichi for it’s smoothness combat, a shame
I did and haven’t experienced any delay in controls at all. So I don’t know where that complaint came from but it’s not there. Not able to select characters at the same time sucks and only having 45 seconds to choose 5 characters is also bad as well.
This game is not a 7/10 I don’t care what people say.
Why do people even take IGN serious? I’m just confused why anyone watches them still
Nostalgia. been relying on them since Gamecube days brother. Mostly would be accurate back then to me at least.
Cuz their bad reviews affect the overall metacritic score
They gave it a 10.....minus 3😑
It sucks. Wasted opportunity to actually make a good DB game with updated mechanics, rich in movement, animations and physics. It's a turd of a game. I prefer the original
IGN has 7/10 PTSD.
I've been playing it for 3 days now straight, I'd say it's a solid 8/10.
This game is $70. Has slide show story, an incomplete story. Not fully voiced. No Universe 6 Arc. Multiple characters with same transformation to pad out numbers and still wants $30 for a season pass. PASS
overwhelmingly positive on steam with 20k reviews... sounds like easy 7/10 to me
This month is dragon Ball month.
Maybe so, but this is Atlus's year.
After spending some time with the game, this review is pretty fair. If anything, he's being a bit too generous at times, e.g. about the netcode.
