This a pretty low budget game

[H.D.]

People who have expectations of a lot of interactive minigames & fun substories will be very disappointed. I feel there's a lot that others games succeeded in doing that this game could have done. An attention to detail would have been great. Instead of flying around when fighting Raditz it would have been nice to fight him purely on the ground & while piccolo takes off his weighted clothing on Goku keeps his on. Then later in the fight it's just looking like a reused battle damaged Goku from the Frieza fight. This had a lot of potential to be something fun & different but instead wound up being a mostly shallow experience that mimics xenoverse in many ways. Kinda let down.

I think too many people bought this expecting the Witcher 3 with Goku.

Well said... I'm 7 hours in and really enjoying the experience. Not sure what groundbreaking technology people were waiting on a DBZ game to introduce.

This is not AAA game. It looks so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bad. And even somehow looks worse then naruto ultimate ninja storm 4.

I think it looks quite good for a PS3 game.

They use Dragon Ball licence to get instant buy from the fanbase, but they dont care if its good game or not. Put name Dragon Ball, sell it 60$ and all idiots will buy because they liked DB when they were young (or even now)

What people expected? They made yet another DRAGON BALL game with "little spin" to it...
From gameplay demos it looked like Xeno fighting game with ability to do pointless, grindy, sidemissions and quests.

Cmon people, You dreamed about flying around and fighting like in Dragon Ball but this is not it. The fanmade in Unreal Engine 4 looks way better than this.

Everyone knows Bid for Power was the only true Dragon Ball game.

Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well.

Correct. Which explains like, Bandai Namco earns millions and millions of dollars from Dragonball franchise alone, and most of that come from the smartphone games like Dragonball Dokkan Battle and Dragonball Legends, and also the Japan-only arcade game Dragonball Heroes.

Dragonball is mainly really a low budget thing, in terms of Western standard. But for Japan, Dragonball is 100% AAA level, or should I say, no other anime really gets tons of budget as much as Dragonball does, honestly. Even the Dragonball: Broly movie's budget was only like, 8.5 million dollars which is really nothing compared to Hollywood movies like The Avengers Endgame which had the budget of 356 million dollars. Even Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse had the budget of 90 million dollars.

So, if you look at it from the Japanese perspective? Then ya, Dragonball Z Kakarot is indeed a very high budget game. Definitely an AAA game.

it seems like it. the game is a great anime game. ppl just set the bar way to high, and are now pouting because they didn't get the anime witcher game they expected

This is basically the only defense I've heard about this game so far.

I seriously doubt ANYONE that purchased this game expected this to be as good as The Witcher. That being said, most people did at least expect a decent RPG experience out of a $60 game advertised as a... action RPG. This is basically a fetch quest/fighting game with cutscenes.

This is exactly the same tactic devs use when working with the Warhammer franchise. This is still better quality than some of the entries that franchise has seen though imo.

nice opinion ya got there, while you're busy whining, the rest of us are gonna enjoy this game. the game is fantastic. plain and simple. it's nobody's fault but your own that you had the bar set way too high to begin with.

The Saiyan Saga is actually Tutorial mode... You actually don't get a lot of content or areas until the start of the Intermission BEFORE Namek Saga.

Also, Kingdom Hearts 3 was more shallow than this game strangely, in that KH3 felt way too short, too bad of frame rate to even enjoy on a base PS4, and while the combat is better, the story is completely screwed around.

And for DBZ: Kakarot, they re-used a lot of things to save money, the combat system and mechanics in fighting is VERY VERY similar to Xenoverse in terms of flight controls and move utilization... It's just remapped keys that's very different feel.

In a sense, DBZ: Kakarot is basically Xenoverse Adventure Mode or something.
