Is DBFZ worth buying?

[JUDGEMENT]

The game looks very fun but really hard so im worried that im too late to start playing because it came out 3 years ago, is it possible to find matches? The game is very expensive so if its not played much anymore i may not buy it.

you can wait for a discount, it can lower the cost of every edition down to only 16%

[Tyrone Biggums]

on sale yes it usually goes down to 10 bucks every sale

Hell yeah it's worth buying! (but do wait for a discount; they are frequent)

As for difficulty, you're in for heaps of it no matter which competitive hobby you get into, gaming or not. It's never too late. Even if it wasn't over 3 years old and you were buying it on day 1, it would be really really hard. You're up against some crazy smart, motivated and gifted guys and some of them can actually practice all day. All of them want to win.

Nobody is expecting you to beat anyone from the start. There's no reward for it unless you eventually get good enough to go pro. There's also no punishment for losing other than you projecting anxieties onto something that's supposed to be fun. Your enjoyment, goals and progression are up to you. AFTER you get some basics down, the "Ranked" mode will mostly keep you fighting vs opponents of similar skill.

DBFZ is a better first fighting game than almost any other. The basic execution is far more forgiving than in the others, so you can worry about that less and get into the fun of tactical thinking easier.

On PC, only Tekken has way more players than FighterZ, and SF5 and GGS have slightly more. Check them on steamcharts.com. Where do you live?

I played Xrd and skullgirls before so maybe it wont be TOO hard for me to get better.

I dont mind losing at all, especially in fighting games. I dont really like competitive stuff though, is there a casual mode i can play? if so, i wont have any problem with winning or losing.

The big problem is pricing, i live in Turkey so the game is 180₺, the dlc is even more expensive than the game. Living in Turkey also means there are no local tournaments at all, so people playing on steam is really important for me. But if the game goes on sale soon and there are a lot of players i dont see a reason not to buy it, thanks for the reply!

i think there is an autumn sale in about two weeks, hopefully it goes on sale when it comes.

I always do find matches, Im from Mexico and sometimes I gotta queu for a good while or wait for a better hour; but I do find people daily. Biggest issue for me is probabbly that all those USA and Canada players are looking for higher bar conecctions; wich lone by distance, I cannot meet.

I would say depends on your region, but honestly even if the game were to lack Online players, you could always find people on discord, streams or even enjoy the offline vs the CPU. I do find Practice Mode EXTREMELLY relaxing to lab a new idea, a new mix, practice a combo I used to do consistently and remember how to pull it off, etc etc. I can spend hours on training ALONE.

Stay away from casual match. Try hard and team assist spammer live there. You'll have more fun playing ranked. It'll actually match you with skillbased players.. Kinda...

Yeah, I'd say it's worth buying it now but you could wait for sales too.

On sale yisss

Don't know if I can say this. But if you don't mind other sites, and if it's available on your country. There's a sale at : Gamesplanet. Just got myself the fighter pass 3 for less than 10 euros (was waiting for a good enough sale for that pass, then forgot about the game )Don't know how it will go for you (price).

10 euros is like 120₺, which is 50₺ more than the steam price, thank you for the suggestion but ill wait for it to go on sale. (hopefully it does when the autumn sale comes)
