Granblue or My Hero One's Justice 2?

[Frog Tonic]

I know this a specific question but I wanted to get one of these games and they both look fun, yet with both of them boasting a full 60$ price tag I was wondering, assuming there are people here who have played both, which of the 2 would you say is more worth the price and would get more hours played by someone who plays fighting games casually?

This game is more complex and more of an actual competitive but still casual friendly game.People still play it online and i imagine it will have players online for the next couple of months at lest i play it sometimes on PS4 it has its charms its the easiest casual friendly fighter on the market right now but still has some depth. Bassicly its focused on the fundamentals of 2d fighters it's similar to street figther and king of fighters.
Its SP story is somewhat short around 4-6 hours depending on how fast you read and how skilled you are. But its true value comes from playng it online vs real people ans this can get you over 100 hours of fun depending on how much you invest in to lerning the game. Althou right now you get around 11+1 characters (one is unlocked in story mode) for the games base price.

Most of the negative criticism the game gets is from the fact its kinda expensive for the amount of content it offers. And had 2 season passes anounced before it even came out.
But as a game its a solid and serious fighting game.


My Hero One's Justice 2 is already dead it bearly even had any plyers online when it came out. It also has a somewhat short SP story. BUt it does have more playable characters in the base game. But anime arena fighters are usually way more shallow and bare bones when it comes to gameplay than real competetive fighters. So after you beat the story mode and try out a buch of characters in arcade or vs CPU you will have nothing else to do. Games like it AKA licenced game arena anime fighters are literally just made to cash in on the popularity of the anime. I peronaly have not played it but what i asume about the game is confirmed by what people are sayng about it

Most of the negative criticism this game gets hoever is from the fact its just not that good to begin whit. Basically only people praising it are just huge boku no hero fans. As in if it didnt have its name people would just say its a generic and shallow arena fighter.

Bandai games tend to be VERY unbalanced, and they never ever bother making any balancement patch; you're lucky if they ever bother fixing any bug in the game within 1 year of release date. Just check how long people giving bad and positive game reviews use/used to play the bandai game before they dropped out of it.

Ignore the bots who have played it for over 100h, because no one ever actually plays bandai games that much. Then you can decide for yourself.

GBVS in the other hand is being made by ArcSystem, and they always make balancement patches, fix bugs and issues so that people can play it at tournaments. So GBVS is mostly competitive, and doesn't have much to offer for single-player, other than the RPG Mode which is surprisingly good, they literally brought the mobile game mechanics into the RPG Mode and it's nice. You can play online with people too, there is a hard and nightmare mode in the RPG Mode, which adds up a lot so ye.

Also, bandai tends to exclusively make games for a niche. So if they ever make a soccer game, it's meant only for people who are exclusively fans of [insert_anime_title_here]'s soccer.

Bandai also doesn't care about Costumer. Bugs never get fixed. There'll never be a balancement patch, etc etc. I used to play Saint Seiya on steam, but I dropped it as soon as I played it online. I also played Xenoverse 2 on steam, game solely works online and it's filled with bugs, balancement issues, overpowered DLC Characters & Skills. Plus, the co-op in xenoverse2 doesn't work in South-America, they made the game North-America exclusive, and PVP sucks too.

Not buying another bandai game ever. Unless they issue a Costumer Certificate. Or something.

Thanks for the reponses, the price still seems a bit high but maybe if GranBlue goes on sale at some point I'll give it a try. I did hear a lot about how MHOJ2 was boring. I did like Xenoverse 2 a lot though mostly due to me just loving games where customization is a big aspect of the game.

Price is high but if you're looking for a competitive fighter then you'll get your money's worth. If you just wanna mess around and play story or single player then it's probably not worth it at full price.

There were balance patches for One's Justice 1 though.

Xenoverse has a fleshed out RPG like SP component.
In fact the game advertises itself as an Action RPG whit strong aditional online component on top of the SP not a Fighing game.
Boku no hero academia is your typical generic boring story mode you would expect from a fighting game.

Which doesn't work in south america, that's what I was saying. Bandai doesn't care.

Ye, I did love customization. but that was the end-game for me. RIP Online.

Both games have different fighting styles you gotta pick what you are use to

Granblue Versus - fighting style is like side to side classic Street Fighter, Tekken, Killer Instinct, King of Fighters, Samurai Showdown (AkA moving back n forth)

MHOJ gameplay - is just like Kill La Kill, Jumpforce, One Punch man an Arena battle

hope this helps on the choice of game you pick :)

IMO play em all while you can still have fun. Don't let anything stop you. You only live once and your true enemy is aging. there is no going backwards in time.
