    I'm glad you included Kakarot on this list. I remember when the game came out and people were trashing on it for not being a fighting game.
    Dragon Ball fans have this weird thing going on where if a DB game isn't a fighting game, it's dead on arrival, so it's great to see some love for the non-fighting games.

      People weren't complaining it wasn't a fighting game. They where complaining about how a story based dragon ball game didn't follow the story properly. They removed key moments form the story that everyone remembers by heart. And to not have them there was just dumb.

      @@Vulpas it actually adds a lot of stuff! It's really neat and does a lot of side story stuff. People are just too lazy to not appreciate the details and little things they added for the game. In terms of combat, it's an RPG and it's not meant to have a complex control scheme. The focus is on the open world and story aspects. Not the fighting. But I think the game does a decent job making things fun and difficult sometimes. Especially with the DLC. Fighting the androids as Gohan was incredibly depressing and realistic to the source material. Speaking of which, they added a lot to make it more impactful, with more time spent on his and Trunks' friendship, and his last stand not being absolutely beaten and obliterated almost immediately by ki blasts.

    I think supersonic warriors should be included along with DB Advanced adventure. Supersonic warriors may be a very short game but it had one of THE BEST fighting systems that did not feel like something a GBA could be capable of. DB Advanced Adventure was also an amazing side-scrolling beat-em up that felt very refreshing and even holds up today (Well... that's subjective).

    and the main beat-em-up mechanics are so satisfying, especially when chaining combos.

    That's a pretty comprehensive list. If I were to add a couple more games to it, I'd probably pick Dragon Ball Fusions and SDBH World Mission. Fusions is pretty much Dragon Ball's answer to Pokemon, where you collect fighters from across a giant mish-mashed world and fight in 5v5 Grandia-style battles. World Mission on the other hand is a port of the Japanese arcade 7v7 card battler SDBH, with added features like custom card and mission creators, as well as it's own full original story. Both games also have huge rosters, with Fusions having over 1000 collectable characters, and World Mission having over 1300 cards.

      idk for other consoles or if it released on other consoles. But Budokai 2 on my gamecube only needed my C-stick pressed to the direction of the enemy to do a "basic" ki attack like a kamehameha or a gallick gun. Only the ultimate attacks needed a combo input.
      But maybe it was a stylized thing. For some reason the german version of budokai 2 and 3 advertised with dynamic clothing which tears during battle but not a single german version actually had it, neither was there any explanation on the web how it works back then

    Dragon Ball Fusions for the 3DS is a big favorite of mine. An RPG where you collect characters from all over the series up until the Universe 6 saga from Super. (An update added some Future Trunks arc characters, but they're just given to you for free) and as the title implies, you can fuse a lot of characters and get all kinds of results. The battles are 5v5 with a big focus on positioning and knocking your opponents into each other. It's really fun. Unfortunately it kinda flew under the radar, probably because it was a 2017 3DS release, but I highly recommend everyone reading this to give it a look.

    The only thing I would change is to include Infinite World because for me the main things Budokai 3 does better are beam clashes and a more fair difficulty (though I enjoyed Infinite Worlds difficulty). But I enjoy the customization of Infinite World significantly more and it was one of the few games to have Base Form GT Vegeta.

    As someone who grew up playing emulated ROMs of Japanese Dragon Ball z games because we didn't have anything here in the west at that time, Kakarot has reached a pinnacle in my heart. The fact that they're most recent DLC as of this post was the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai really made that game the top of my list of one of my favorite games of all time.

  • @eugene31able

    I gotta give a shout out to Dragon Ball: Advanced Adventure.
    For being a game based on OG Dragon Ball, the game is just utterly fantastic to play. Not only does it have incredibly good looking graphics and sprites for its time, it also has a pretty fluid feeling combat system as well.
    While it can be just a bit repetitive, its simple, easy to understand and fun to experience.
    And the story is just a blast to play through as well! Levels are your standard platforms that are done quite well, alongside unique boss fights as well with even a few having unique mechanics to make them a bit more challenging. Hell, there are even some minigames you can play as well!
    Heck, you could even play agaisnt another person who has the game if you had a cable to connect both games. Unfortunately, the roster is very small, so that is a small downside, but a very minor one to me.
    Overall, for one of the only OG DB games on the GBA to my knowledge, its worth playing and i think would DEFINITELY be deserving to be one of the best Dragon Ball games.

    DBZ Hyper Dimension on Super Famicom was so good. It just never came out in the west so most of us only got exposure to it via emulators back in the day. It's kinda cool how most of the best Dragon Ball games are very recent though. We're truly spoiled for great DB games in recent years.

  • @1Synner
    @1Synner ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Xenoverse 2 is my absolute favorite of the Dragon Ball games ever made, for the reasons you mentioned AND for many, many others.
    i'm gonna start off with saying that I bought Xenoverse 1 right around its release (it came in late on my end), and I bought it to satiate the one desire I had as a Dragon Ball fan: create custom characters and go on your own adventure. Looking back, it was janky, slow paced, and locked to 30 FPS, making the game feel more clunky than it should have been. But, I played the hell out of it anyway and have fond memories of having Xenoverse sessions with my friends. Even platinumed it on my PS3. And then... Xenoverse 2 came.
    Xenoverse 2, from day one, fixed and expanded upon EVERYTHING that Xenoverse 1 did. Better and faster combat (which felt so much more skill based while still holding onto the RPG roots), a much more expansive roster, a robust hub world that feels good to just explore, better character customization, lovable characters both playable and supporting, and was so content rich that it was hard to ever get tired of. Further DLCs expanded upon that even more, with unlock keys to customize ANY roster character (originally, it was for mentors only, but now it applies to everyone), two and a half more story campaigns to play in (DLC chapters, Xeno 1 Legacy story, and the "Time Breaking with Fu" story that has multiple paths and scenarios that change the situation drastically, with a secret boss fight against a juiced up UI Goku). It's just so fun to sit down, pick out your favorite Dragon Ball OC that you made (one of eight, that are also selectable during fights, raids, and parallel quests as if they were part of the roster), and either go on a single player romp through any one of the modes and activities, or party up and kick some ass in the PQs or test your metal against each other. And, that's STILL not everything! Further, that's not even getting into the lore the game details and sometimes expands upon through NPCs, quests, item descriptions, and story implications. It's just everything I LOVE about Dragon Ball, ever since I was a little crawling nightmare.
    Xenoverse 2, while not an excellent fighting game like Budokai 3 or FighterZ, is still a very robust and incredibly fun beat-em-up MMO-lite RPG that fulfills a Dragon Ball fan's itch beyond just re-playing the story as the cast. Out of all the games in my collection, it is my 6th favorite game out or my favorite 40.

    Regarding Xenoverse2... They deleted my savegame for whatever reason.. I spent 500 hours on it.. and suddenly the game tells me, savegame is corrupted.. There's nothing I could do, i was forced the start from zero again.. Suffice it to say, i immediately uninstalled the game.. I cant be bothered to grind all over again to unlock everything.
    That's the biggest issue with Xenoverse 2.. at any given moment your savegame can get corrupted for whatever reason.. Apparernly if you install the game on another hardrive , or if you try out a mod then remove the mod through fresh reinstall, all these things can completely corrupt your savegame.
    The fact that it's so incredibly sensitive and that you cant even back up your saves is a huge problem.

Budokai 3 (the end to the PS2 era; was the last game released in 2004), however Shin Budokai for the PSP came out in 2006, as well as Shin Budokai in 2007. Making the PSP games the last 2 to the Budokai series but not correspondent to the storyline of the PS2 games. That’s when tenkaichi began.

    9:02 I think I mentioned it on a previous video, but I can speak on the Wii online version of BT3 since I played it back when Wii online was still a thing and that comment is likely buried so I'll explain it here.
    Honestly, you aren't missing much, as it was easily the worst part of the whole game. The lag for online made the game play in slow motion much of the time, and if either of the players had a bad connection, then both players had periods of being unable to do anything but stand there for a bit, making it very frustrating to play. Both of these issues pretty much made Android characters, especially Super 17 and Arale, very overpowered for online play, meaning good luck if you struggle against them. It was pretty cool though seeing your online opponent picking their character in the menu, that was a neat little thing to see, but it was hardly worth the myriad of other issues that it brought with it.
    I hope that gives people enough to go off of.
