Heroes is an okay game that I wish is taken into consideration with Xenoverse 3 and made more like it in the department of giving out every What-if scenario possible to punchmans in. But then again, that story of Goku game could be better than any possible Xenoverse 3 and I don't know how to feel about a purely DBZ game in 2019/20.

Unless the new CC2 game does some cool poo poo it's gonna be kinda lame having a just DBZ game (Especially if it's just Saiyan and Namek saga) this late in the game.

Especially if it's only real claim is gonna be looking nice like we didn't just come off the best looking DBZ game ever made.

They can make decent fight mechanics for an RPG that aren't entirely a fighting game style. If they create a good template for future games that involve the rest of DBZ/Super, it could be a net positive assuming it plays alright. Xenoverse has ideas, but not a well crafted engine and means to go about their idea. Also if it is that short, I'm wondering how much they'll put into the game for you to do. If they like make you fully experience all of Snake Way, including HFIL or train up to face a formidable Frieza - well, I dunno. It's still loving weird late in the game but - eh?

No they can't cause the .hack games aren't actually fun to play and are tedious even by the standards of action rpgs, GU is barely more tolerable. CC2 are not known for actual good engines and combat, they are known for good visuals and cool fight scenes and that is what they are ever hired for, hell it's what Asura's Wrath and Ninja Storm both have fanbases for.

Its definitely deeper than PLAYER KILLING IS MEAN plot line, but it can be very visual style over serious fighting substance. That and nothing ever tops Saiyan Saga Vegeta versus Goku.

I definitely want SDBH after watching some story scenes because it seems to do a lot of fun stuff in dialogue but the actual gameplay looks nonexistent and the graphics are PS2-tier (considering they literally are Budokai graphics and all) so I'm not paying $60 for it.

The moment it goes on sale it's mine with less hesitation than Goku facing a strong person though.

Other than doing a bunch of hand-wavey slidey movements to activate abilities, yeah.

To me the fun is in the building of the decks and the things you can set up beforehand.

And yeah, the graphics are nothing to write home about, especially if you're like me and have to lower the resolution because all the bright lights slow the game down to a crawl. Everything else runs smooth as butter on the max settings for me; that is until some mofo decides to create a planet size energy ball. Then it becomes a slide show.

They wouldn't do it for DT, they won't do it for him.. Goons like fighting people out of existence rather than ignoring them.


Legit question though, I'm going to meet Sean and Chris later this year at a con and I have a shirt with Broly on it that I was going to wear (for reference: https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/130494-the-incredible-broly). It has Goku and Vegeta too so it isn't Broly specific. Is this going to get me punched in the face by Goku/Vegeta/All-Might? I just like the shirt and Hulk reference..

As long as you don't bring he-who-starts-nothing-but-poo poo, I don't even think talking about the Super Broly the character or the movie is off limits. Sabat still has glowing praise for that flick so probably talk more with him. Sean might blow up about it if you pester him too much - or certain people start talking to him again.

I'm not sure if that soon for the latter, since it isn't a simul-dub and we don't even know when Broly will reappear (though it's almost assured he will eventually because...Broly, there's no way Toei won't take the chance to exploit that). Regardless, yeah, someone will have to take the role in the US side of things, but I don't think there's that much of a hurry for it.

In fact, it may be needed first for the CC2 game, since there's no way in hell Broly won't appear in it and that game will most likely get a dub.

Oh god I just realized that's right, Broly not only likely ate Beets but he was likely wearing his leggings for 30 some years before he was rescued and put in a new black suit. Over 3 decades of wearing some dead guy you canibalized's pants.

I also think they'll wait on recasting when the need arises. If Super 2 starts with Broly all hell breaks loose.

Wellllll... sort of? Like, I'm sure that there are some shithead VA's and such (because every facet of the entertainment industry has monstrous, rapey shitheads), but for the most part, Japanese VA's are usually fairly respectful of their seniors and juniors. Also, if they have one or more recurring parts per season, their schedules are probably going to be rock-gently caress insane, so they seldom get the time to do that. If they don't have a role, then they're probably working a day job because unless you have enough of a name, you're probably not getting paid a whole lot.

Given those times voice actors for the Yakuza video game franchise got effectively unpersoned from the entire industry for drug abuse allegations, I imagine the consequences of loving up are rather more severe over there.

Also, wasn't there some kinda thing where a ton of fans in Japan freaked out because the main voice actress of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya had sex once or something silly like that and she had to quit the industry forever?

You don't hear about a lot of voice actor scandals in Japan but I wouldn't be surprised if part of the reason is just because the bar for ruining your career is significantly lower.

She hosed everyone in her band but the bassist and yeah she was out of the limelight for years after that. She still had regular voice acting roles afaik (did Fairy Tail ever stop running during that time period, even?)
