 Let's Play DBZ: Sagas DBZ Sagas was a first for the license. It was the first game developed solely by an American studio, and the first beat 'em up. I mean, the back of the case says it's an adventure game, but let's be real here okay? It's much easier to appreciate as an experiment than as an actual game. That is to say it's got a lot of problems. Hard crashes, audio bugs, game-breaking collision detection, atrocious boss design, and really weird music. But it's worth playing? It's worth experiencing, either through an actual playthrough or a series of videos, like these! The game's flaws are obvious, but so are its ambitions. It was a new genre in a license completely absent of a pure-blooded action title, and it had some neat ideas about how exactly to accomplish that feat. Teleporting from enemy to enemy on command and blasting them in the face has its obvious appeals, after all. There are also many upgrades -which I have already purchased- that add a couple (note, a couple) of nuances to the combat, but nothing that pushes it above “kind of a trainwreck”. I'm really confused how you feel about this game. I think intrigued is the proper word. I can't appreciate it for what it is -and I doubt many people can- but I can appreciate what it tried to do. How will this Let's Play go? I've already pre-purchased all of the upgrades and painstakingly collected all of the collectibles. This ensures you'll see the game in its best light, with all the available moves and far less of the tedium. If we instead opted to play the game normally, we would end up with barely enough time to show everything off. You'll still be sick of everything by the end of the first saga, but at least this way it goes faster and is more fun to watch.

If I was new to the franchise, I would have some understanding of how the story went, unlike every other DB game you showed. Text means nothing when you can just show the action and not show the characters idle animation.

They used the Saban(?) footage as well. I can see all the times there were still blood on the characters, despite how heavy and erratic the censorship was/is in cartoons back then.

The dub was done by Ocean Studios under Funimation's oversight, Saban only did the distribution to television while Pioneer handled home video. Funimation would later re-dub the series in-house. Chimera-gui fucked around with this message at 04:42 on Apr 3, 2017 |

The only way to win fights is to never finish combos. I mean that says it all about Sagas, what an awful game

I never did indulge that curiosity, and now I hope that this thread can sate that finally since I've heard it's just so bad that I never wanted to put myself through that torture.

I am confident I can make the most informative LP of DBZ Sagas.

It wouldn't be a DB game without skipping Freezer's bodyguards. Those filter effects have no reason to be there and the narrator shouldn't get drowned out by the sound effects.

Even these guys agree on Freezer having 12 million PL. It doesn't look like you are taking out that many enemies.

Jesus, even at the time the game came out I had seen AMVs that were edited better than those cutscenes. edit - Also, what's up with Bulma?  : To proceed, you must... : KILL ALL THE ENEMIES!!!!!All that crab-killing must've awakened something in her I guess. Pretty weird for a franchise that was allergic to the word 'die' at one point.

Sure dodged some sad feels by not having Trunks go through his transformation. Can't have emotion in this game. Gero seems to have made androids up to 100 or something and they were all weak failures.

That one robot looked like a small knockoff of that final boss in Sonic the hedgehog 2. I don't know if anyone else on the planet made military robots besides the Red Ribbon, but if someone was able to make robots like that pirate skeleton way back in Dragon Ball, they might be a precursor to Red Ribbon or a very early model.

If they bothered to fill in the power levels for half the bosses or explained something through the scouter, it might have been useful.

The whole 'not showing power levels for androids' is actually cannon, since only biological beings have power levels. Witch is generally why DBZ games don't bother with the whole power level thing in the first place. That, and power levels are bullshit.
