Casually beat the story mode in 2 days. (Yawn)

[Meadow Daydream]

It's 2024. C'mon dude. This ain't it chief.

Kinda depressing that the games story mode is this short. Also we're using screenshots to tell the story really? Pretty lazy. I guess it makes sense to recycle those cutscenes to make your own story.

I kind of don't like the lack of narration during cutscenes in between plot points not that I can't read or anything. .

I do think the whole. "You can make your own story" which is cool and all. Is also a crutch for players to do the heavy lifting of the game.

A lot of fights which most people would see as Padding or fluff in the series are removed from the game. But at the same time. I wanted to see something like Kid Gohan from Raditz arc, to Vegeta arc, to android / cell saga, to buu saga, and onward.

Teen Gohan defeating Cell in Sparking Zero, just felt very bland. Not because I am numb to it from witnessing it in the series and games a handful of times. It's because there really wasn't any build up leading up to what I consider is one of the most epic moments in DBZ history.

Each Story Character has about 10 battles Goku obviously being the one with the most fights out of the rest of the character stories. Where is the meat? like I feel like Sparking Zero was rushed or just lazy. There is a lot of gaps and holes that kinda takes away from the franchise entirely.

Pretty sure Budokai Tenkaichi 3 was about 13 hours long compared to what 7 hours in Sparking Zero. A game that came out in 2007 being nearly twice as long in story. Not to mention there are roughly 24 more hours worth of content on the side in Budokai Tenkaichi 3.

I'm sure there is someone out there that is going to excuse and pass this as "This game wasn't intended to be story driven" "It's meant for Online PVP" You know what. That's fair. I can get behind that. But at the same time, we can have a lengthy fruitful story and narrative while also having the Online PVP aspects too.

I can't be the only one who finds the stories to be lazy, messy, confusing, left out, ignored. Tenkaichi 3 had a lengthier story and more content that was summarized well enough where the pieces connected seamlessly. Sparking Zero isn't it chief. Sure I can go to PVP Sure I can go back to Xenoverse 2 or Kakarot. But that doesn't exactly paint a good picture for Sparking Zero. With everything taken into consideration.

But not everyone is playing like you though? mm maybe the devs intended it to be played like how others are...with struggle XD

i mean i can tell you right now XD im struggling since the controls are problematic.

another thing to consider is maybe ur skills are higher than the game intended :/

he is just bad, he played on easy. His achievements prove it

Not playing on easy. Normal is easy.
EDIT: If I could I'd Increase the difficulty more. Just so the story feels a bit longer.

Each Story Character has about 10 battles

The alternate path for going at Raditz alone has like 10 battles on its own. Between the canon and two alternate paths, I'm probably almost 20 battles deep just getting into the Android Saga of Goku's story and haven't even touched the others yet. There's nothing constructive or accurate about any of this. You rushed the canon (probably on a lower difficulty or with assists), did nothing else, and now you're whining.

Man, the bait just keeps getting lazier, this ain't it chief. Enjoy the points ericknirvana!

I beat the Storymode 18 years before the game came out. What now?

all you need to do now is (Yawn)

Story mode does feel a bit cheap. I wouldn't mind the slideshow cutscenes if they hadn't also skipped over so many fights.

you beat it on easy and didnt unlock the alternate routes, checked your achievements

No I never had the need to change the difficulty not once. And I kinda didn't like having to pause the game to see the battle conditions to unlock those routes. From what I can tell I did infact beat the game. 7 to 10 hours isn't exactly 2 days anyways. It's half a day. So I mean there is that too. NGL.

Then you didn't beat the game, you're missing entire what if arcs.

[Jango]

I have to agree that the story mode is pretty disappointing. I wasn’t exactly expecting Kakarot levels of coverage but I did at least hope most arcs would be covered well. The only arcs they did super well on, at least for the Goku storymap, is the Saiyan and Frieza Arc as well as the Goku Black arc. Everything else felt like it went by waaaay too fast and potential what if scenarios that seem really straightforward just don’t happen.

Don’t think that it makes the game bad, just makes me feel like the early reviewers who said that the games story mode was comprehensive and the what if’s were a big selling point we’re exaggerating quite a bit.

If you do only have like 11 achievements there is no way you have beat the full story line including the alt timelines as that is i think 17 achievements in its self.

[Lixes]

To complete the storyline with the alt seems impossibly difficult on some that have time limits unless you use the dragon balls to lower its challenge but you will need to do that for like 8 - 12 missions across all the characters

You dont play Dragonball Games for the story mode. We have seen the same story for the past Decade or so. But i do wish they put a bit more effort into it cutscene wise

I dunno :/ i kinda did the same with bt3.

I kinda was hoping for a kakarot or BT 2 level of the story mode. Open world and perhaps the mini game of BT2.

I’m just a bit confused on why they skipped the universe 6 tournament arc for the Goku storymap.

yes, exactly and they still havent posted a video that tells me otherwise that he didnt also play on easy. because there are some fights that are legit hard af on "non reduced difficulty" and some alt routes are damn near impossible to unlock, oh and tou cant do these alt routes on reduced difficulty so until he shares that, just proves he did it on easy
