lets talk about the story mode

[Icyshock]

I want to hear your thoughts about it because to me its really boring and not liking the whole jumping every where thing that's going on in between cut scenes

[Dregora]

I don't really care personally. I think the alternate options are fun but overall I don't need yet another extremely long elaborate story mode where it tells the story i've already seen 500 times.

It's quick and snappy, i'm all okay with it. Not playing it for some deep story.

ya most ppl arnt playing for story thats y its meh they made that other dbz game for that

[CreampiesNFries]

The side stories are pretty fun and give a nice bit of non cannon what ifs. I've missed this

[Testiskulls]

Coming from someone who has played since Budokai 1, I'm not too invested in the story any more. I think the snippets are better for newcomers to get into because of how vast the story is, and how many encounters actually occur.

To me it's more of an idea or ember to light a fuse to watch re-watch the anime or get new people interested. I just like the gameplay and chill vibes. It's just... fun!

i wish they gave the first ssj transformation some love, its a staple in the series

It's the same story you've been playing since DBZ games made their way to the west. You can't expect anything innovative or different at this point. Over the years at best we got were "What if" scenarios which were fun, but every game always follow the same story beats.

It becomes boring because DBZ is a billion dollar franchise and Bandai has milked it with so many games and little innovation between them.

There may never come a day where we actually get something new and different. Goku is face of the Dragonball and so his Z story will keep being told 1000 ways until there's nothing left.

Daima seems like a passion project of the late Toriyama, so perhaps in the far flung future we might finally get a game telling that story.

also i wish the dbz narrator read over the subtitles

story is fun, but so far im getting beat by 5 galick guns within 2 seconds after the tutorial which only showed fly up fly down spam punch and dashing

I'm disappointed the story isn't...animated. Feels like the JJK game in that aspect.

Same. When I saw it was text based only I thought that was really lame

[iDankenstein]

Maybe try the other alternative routes in the game? The side stories are pretty good

[Shadowlet]

Presentation genuinely sucks. Doesn't help that prerendered cutscenes are 480p.

there is a training mode where they will teach you every single concept you need

Yesterday I thought the same, but after realizing that the story is much larger if you press R2 (the board) and switch between characters to play to complete arc instead of just gokus part. I enjoy the what-if scenarios, they're decent even if a bit simple with constant 'everyone rides happy together in the sunset' vibes but it ain't bad. The whole saiyan campaign as 'what if goku survives and freeza invades earth' was great.
The First Person camera moments are hit or miss. Random talks seem static but moments like goku teleporting cell to kai's were top notch.
Don't get me wrong it's not perfect by all means but I've found the spark I had when playing BT3 back on the PS2 and that's all I wanted from the game

Give it some time maybe it'll grow on you too

What I still very much dislike is the fact that they don't have a narrator inbetween the missions.

It's hard to really make the story good after us seeing it a thousand times. In the series and previous games.

I do love how you can see different character perspectives
