- Jump Force couldve been something great. But with unappealing visuals and lack of dev support outside of DLC, it didn't live up to the legendary game it aimed to be. In this episode of RatedEm, we take a look at the history behind Jump Force to see what went wrong.

Honestly the only problem is the cac the ssj hairs whic the black parts are awesome
Jump Force was a disappointment.
@@danknhshinki73 True. Let's hope they make a better cross over game some time in the future
got a way to download it for pc?
Bro plz i bought this game wanna play with dlc characters but can't buy can I play with ur jump force account plz
me and my cousin loved playing this game. we didn’t really mind the glitches and the stiff animation, we just both had a fun time playing with different anime characters that we loved.
honestly that's all a game needs to be to someone to be good, it might be my age or tha tmy passion for games has significantly decreased over the last couple of years that games like this leave me empty inside but in my teenage years a game like that would have kept me and my brother glued to the screen for months.
Yeah the fighting is good
@@ZetsubouZolo that's all a game needs to do but people paid $60 for it so you can understand how cheated they felt
I still hop online occasionally and god are one shot true combos and annoying ass spammers common
Exactly, my uncle always says, "it's not about graphics, it's about the gameplay"
That game literally had the potential to be the best anime game of all time
From a logical standpoint it makes sense that they made all the character models more 3D realistic looking as trying to blend every anime’s individual art and animation style would be hard
Yeah, but they could have made them look not so hideous.
I agree. All characters still look really cool and the fact that you can finally control your favorite anime character is more meaningful than having similar art style to the anime itself
But it's just the characters in their original art styles but with greasy hotdog skin.
@@papashizzle3622 No, clapping at an IP you recognize isn't "meaningful".
@@Janfey I really liked the style
people are too serious and competitive these days. jump force just screams like a good time with friends who loves anime. and sometimes, that's all you need.
This is the same case as the Gear 5 Luffy currently, they all only wants some epic animated/serious stuff instead of a normal cartoonist, vibe thing
The competitive fanbase is the one that keeps games alive. CSGO/LOL/Street fighter...etc is kept alive by the competitive players. It is a FIGHTING game after all. People will want to beat other players and show that they are better. Just normal human nature.
Aside from fighting games being kept alive by comp play.
Jump force was awesome I'm concept but the execution was awful. The graphics story multi-player balance all the core pillars of the game were a complete joke.
This dosent mean you can't enjoy the game that's a completely subjective thing but you have to understand jump force as a video game that needed to make money was a abject failure.
I hope this dosent discourage them in the future and they take everything they've learned to make a truly wonderful crossover game we can all enjoy for a long time.
@@noobistrapped7097 I dont know about manga but in anime they clearly stated that in every fight Luffy gives his all.
@@noobistrapped7097 I remember in Water7 Nami said that Luffy is always serious about fight cause she was worried about his duel with Usopp.
I was playing the jump force story one time and my brother came in the room and started reading the cutscene. He changed the entire context of the fight from whatever they were actually talking about to Toguro wanting drugs from Yusuke
@@stvmegawat bro what 😭
This game deserves better.
My main problem was it was such a huge downgrade from J stars.
J stars was far from balanced and had a lot of room to grow into a sequel but for every step forward that jump force took, it took 5 steps back.
Firstly it plays like a Dragonball game. Yugi shouldn't be instant transmitting behind you to spike you during a combo, that's a Dragonball thing. J stars did a great job of making every character feel right to their series with different energy mechanics and preferred ranges, etc.
The roster was a huge downgrade. It has more characters than J stars but far fewer series represented. 10% of the roster shouldn't come from Naruto and then give them more characters as dlc. I found plenty of series I'd never heard of in j stars to try out. Jump force thought piccolo was a better pick than a character from another series that people love.
They made it 3v3 and pulled back on co-op mechanics. I have friends that don't like PvP fighting games, they loved coop bot games in j stars but despite being 3v3 this time, that's not an option anymore. The 3v3 was pointless anyway. In a traditional fighter like skull girls or MvC, multiple characters served as a sort of combo breaker. Once you got comboed to death, you'd get another character drop in to take your turn back. In jump force they have the same health bar. Swapping is purely just because you want to
Downgrade?? The only downgrade was the story.... tf lmao
@@blickman5090 nah the gameplay has every character act like a carbon copy of Goku. Yugi has no business teleporting behind you to smash you into the ground. There's way less depth in exchange for big flashy effects. In j stars you can have your second player converge on one enemy or split up. You can play one person forward and have one player zone to protect the lower health player. In jump force you can switch between 3 characters but they share a healthbar so it doesn't even matter.
Jump force decides to cut entire series to put in more Dragonball, one piece and Naruto characters so the roster sucks. Why would you take biscuit instead of a kankichi or medaka? J stars represent shonen jump better with fewer characters.
Jump force literally only has flashy effects going for it. It's all show and no substance
I found it hilarious that Yugi would teleport like Naruto or Goku to slam All Might into the ground
Bro wtf 💀
@@TgarMask lol no not every character had the same playstyle as Goku, I can assure you The Kenshin characters played very differently from Goku as did Kaiba, and of course they all have teleporting because I can guarantee that if they didn't and you just gave that to DBZ characters to be "true" to the respective series. no one would stand a chance against a good player using a DBZ character.
@@selfloathingweekly yea that was stupid i'll agree
I still play jump force rn and never have trouble finding a online match
i played earlier today with a friend of mine who visits often, we'r playing this maybe 2-4 times each week since its timing based and not combo based, love it! :D
What do you guys play it on? Where’s it available?
@@magicshruums1014 i bought it back in the day on steam, so thanks to steam i can still download it, sadly i am missing the 4 or 6 last characters, so i may have to "yarr yarr and a bottle of rum" since character pass 2 cost more then a car if you can manage to find a key, so find yourself a boat and set the sails, thats the only way to find it now without winning euro jackpot ;)
@magicshruums1014 it's on xbox Playstation nd pc I'm pretty sure, but I think the servers are shut down now. Someone let me know?
@@Will.Pressley really? Dang was going to pop my disc out of storage to try it again but since servers are down that’s a bummer.

I wish they made an actual 2d fighting game with a roster like this
there is a 2d version and its one of the best anime games i have played, just like the first reply said "mugen jump force" has all of the famous anime characters and is really addicting, u can play it for hours, its not very hardware demanding (storage size is super big tho) and the graphics are 2d sprites that look awesome.
Jump Ultimate Stars on the DS was based.
Agreed
There's mugen on pc and android
They do its called mugen you put in the characters yourself.
I loved this game so much, I kept it to be a family heirloom.
What happened? Bamco was too cheap to renew the licenses for the character usage and as a result the game was delisted and all DLC is gone forever from storefronts.
They weren't cheap, the game wasn't making much in the first place. Why would they invest more into it?
@@VegetaandGoku_Gaming why does bandai namco keep making shitty arena fighters?
@patches2221 What else could a dragon ball game be? They're trying new stuff for mobile because those are pretty much guaranteed to succeed so they're not putting any risk in making them
I think opinions of this game varies depending on whether or not you play among friends. I've played this game since release and I can't even tell you how to get to story mode. It has a very forgiving learning curve and really enjoyable playing with friends. Admittedly, I don't do a lot of online play so I couldn't relate to any of the gripes people had with this game. I love it though.
same, have had it for ages and played it allot when i get friends over, earlier today i realised for the first time that i am missing 3 characters, and that i can unlock them by doing some team mission stuff, games like this are best enjoyed with friends on the couch anyway ;)
Rip Jumpforce, cool game but didn't last long.
@@hectorcastillo741 i still play it
3:33 BRO DROPPED THE COLDEST TRANSITION AND THOUGHT WE WOULDNT NOTICE
I hope they come out with a part 2 because it was a really good game
Jump force was ass
I love the fighting look, but the rest was nah
“Good game” 💀💀
No it wasn’t bro 😂
Thaaaaaank you, it was a good game just was not patched and held up well
This game consumed the last 4 years of my life... It was well spent no regrets
I have this game on disc and still play it regularly because regardless of how bad the story is it is still one of the few shonen jump games that had such a variety and mixture of things that just can't be found anywhere else. Love the video, you did a great job of explaining it and kept me intrigued.
Please do you know how can i get it because i want to play it from longtime on my xbox but i cant get it 💔😭
@@user-ih2tr9il7o disc lil bro
@@user-ih2tr9il7o go to g2a, thats the last place here in the west i know about that still sells it
I think some of the issue was the fact that it focused on the big 4 anime mostly when there is a whole world full of fighting anime or anime where fighting happens but isnt a main part of the series.
I found this game at a thrift store for 5 bucks. Don't really have a way to play video games online, however this is actually a fun game. As for the repetitiveness of the story, it reminds me of quite a few animes that are also repetitive themselves.
Other things people complained about is the lack of stages/arenas based on actual series and also lack of music.
Also on a personal note I think the combat could have been a bit better. I feel like some characters lack moves or a abilities.
We need a better Shonen Jump crossover game.
R.I.P Jump Force man, the game honestly had a really cool concept despite already doing it before. Honestly, I never really liked the whole 3-D style of the game, I also thought it looked weird. It would’ve been cool if they did the art style like DBFZ (Dragon Ball FighterZ) and it honestly would’ve done way better if they changed the art style and other things. Overall though, Jump Force was I guess an ok game with just a really cool concept. Btw great vid and commentary!
Thank you! I agree, a DBFZ artstyle wouldve been 10x better
@@RatedEm04oh my god it definitely would be. And I also think they should’ve cooked more with the story as a whole
Celshading
Why put "DBFZ" if you'll still put the whole name anyway? lmao
@@sanromanosqui because people probably won’t know what DBFZ is, idk
I can hear Gut's theme around 4:20 onward. A man of culture I believe. This game was super fun to play with my friends and I never had any cons for it myself. We loved it

Broooo. I quit playing for a while and they removed it from the market. Since they removed it.. I couldn't get Yoroichi. My heart can't take the sadness. I still play when I feel the fighting itch.
If I had to guess why the game was shut down, my guess is that the character Dai, a character from Dragon Quest, is owned by Square Enix. And we all know how that company can be sometimes.
A new Jump game is inevitable, they love to release them around anniversaries. And guess what, Jump is turning 55 this year (in fact, as I write this comment, it is the exact date of the first Jump magazine issued for the first time)
Idc about Dai
Release a version without him lol
Nah they wouldn't shut the servers down just because of a character. Dead by Daylight had characters they lost license to (for whatever reason). Demigorgon, Steve and Nancy and the Stranger Things map were all simply taken out of the game (with the exception of those that already owned the characters), and the servers continued like normal.
The reason they most likely shut down the JP servers is because the player base was simply too low.
Beyond the terrible graphics and super limited gameplay with trash balancing, I think the thing that killed it for me was the character roster. It was SO heavily skewed towards the big name series, wasted slots on absolute nobody's, and locked all the most hyped characters behind DLC paywalls. Obviously it was never going to keep everyone happy and I get why all of that was done: branding, history, and money; but wow did that ruin it for me
They could never make me hate you Jump force
JoJo isn't owned by Warner Bros., it's owned by Shueisha, and the manga is produced by Araki's personal manga studio; Lucky Land Co.
Warner Bros. owns the distribution rights to the JoJo anime and also helps with production, but Shueisha is the one who decides whether or not to greenlight a new anime.
I’m mad af I didn’t know this was happening or I would have bought more characters 😭
Exactly 😢 now I can never get the characters I want :(
your video was so good, i'm surprised you only have 800 subs
Sounds like you cracked it Joe! Can't wait for the video. How have you found singing this song whilst playing? Especially those falsetto parts… (talking about Jupiter)
this game has so much complex combat to it than what it appears to be , me and my friends are masters in it , we still playing it to this day.
same, it got way more depth then you think at first glance
i really loved the unique combat and effects in this game. so sad to see it gone
This game is a classic you really can pull off touch of death combos if you know what your doing 🙌
Facts I love it for the combos
how? they like have the invis tech after a certain amount of hits
@@flyghtmyleage6041 With normal hits that is. Specials can land as often as they want if they don't immediately stun the opponent. Mix that with your assist and the right character and you can pull of a lot of cool stuff.
@@italolxd3128aaah, so that’s what I was doing wrong
5 minutes, a new record for an in depth video on literally anything.
Perfect RUclips content short and to the point.
My friend group and I at the time loved this game, it got people in the group who never watched anime interested and watched because of this game. It will forever hold a special place in my heart and in my memories gaming for hours at each others houses like we were kids (we were 18/19 years old at the time) going at it and arguing whos the best at the game. Good times fr.
My biggest issue with it was how the characters played the same besides their specials
its mega casual
I was lucky enough to buy this game and all the dlc right before the shutdown, and I do not regret it.
"here lies Jump force, may it forever rest in pieces"
Such wasted potential -Sub Zero
Jump Force wasn't a game I played a lot of, but was still a pretty good game In my opinion
Same Here
My guy said jumpforce 20 times in the first minute just in case we forgot what we were watching
Jump force is a starting point! If they put in the effort n shit and actually do the right stuff and keep up with the game it can be something! I hope they make a new game with similar ideas, but better execution!
True
Eylin: my dad and brother and me played the game we loved the game so much that we never wanna stop playing it and i wish some people still have some love on this game feels like these people put hard work to make this masterpiece so hopefully there is still a amazing light left
I honestly loved this game so much I'm so sad that it's gone
people kept cursing, and they get what they wanted

Have you played Battle Stadium D.O.N?
Bandai Namco happened in all their "it's not making profit, kill it off, never make another in the west, they don't like it at all" mentality.
But really, it's because it was both a half baked game and attempt at raking in fast cash with beloved IP's, if they actually cared.. the would've brought it up to par with the other 'jump' titles of last generations.
They did the same thing with Gundam Breaker, remember?
Bandai Namco ain't no Snail Games.. but, they've done equally shitty things.
i absolutely loved this game and i loved playing it w my friends and was devistated when they announced the end
Personally, the graphics of this game didn't bother me very much. I can even say I liked them. But the character faces were static.
There's literally no eyebrow movement and hardly any blinking. Hardly any hair physics either. It gave the characters a mascot costume vibe.
So the semi-realism was contradicted by the little detail in the animation.
I wanted a jump force part 2 with no guard break cheese no r3 no grab ult with skins
The problem with jump force is just competition. Most Shonen games have their own specific fighting games.
The game is a cool idea but because you're cramming in a bunch of different games you can't add nearly the same attention to detail which those other series specific games have.
The single shared health bar is what made me never even get the game
Jump force as a concept was a cool idea, especially if you like Shonen anime. Unfortunately, my main issue with the game is honestly the character roster, some franchises are more represented than others.
I play on PC and graphics are literally the only thing I won’t complain about. Art style maybe. But graphics nah you buggin
I hate it when a bad game comes out, and then just gets abandoned. You can fix the game even after release, just look at No Man’s Sky! That game started out poorly, and because the developers didn’t quit, it’s now amazing!
I feel they just dropped the ball with the execution, i remember literally nothing of the story its that forgetable which is ironic for having some of the greatest stories of all time in it
Wen I found out they were shutting down servers and that even DLC you already purchased would be impossible to re-download, I just went ahead and wiped the game off my save data, cloud included. I knew the game was gonna be dead from that point on, so there was no reason to keep it around.
i actually enjoyed jump force i thought the graphics were kinda mid as you said but i really enjoyed the multiplayer
the same combos ended up being used but it was fun finding a way to get around them
@@justempestI just loved playing it with my friends because we don’t know much combos so it ends up being my favourite by far.
I Agree
I think the graphics are dope and the fighting is great honestly hope they continue it
The game isn’t bad, it’s the players the abuse the exploits. The exploits shouldn’t be there in the first place, but I still play it with my homies and it’s fun.
best anime crossover game ive everplayed in my life all this years was battle stadium D.O.N where me my dad and my brothers would play together until midnight on tha hokidays, it was the best memory and game ive ever had. and dragon ball, one piecr and naruto was the biggest anime to that time si it was the coolest game that ever been made
I really hate that the characters dont blink or move their eyes. Makes them look like lifeless dolls
Yeah this was a good time. Graphics were terrible but my buddy and I who I met playing online ranked in jump force actually grinded to top 100, and I also created an endless special move combo with no light or heavy attacks that could 100-death a life bar. I still believe to this day that was the reason for the white blinking combo breaker patch cuz the way it was set up you could string any variation of the sm combo as long one or two of the moves landed. Best part was it started with an unblockable. Sad it got patched tho
It was a great game, I loved the 3D graphics
I’m going to be honest with you , they make a jump force now it’ll bang .
Demon slayer , mha , black clover , demon king of misfit, JJK, chainsaw man . A lot of players and anime lovers will love it .
I also absolutely loved the CAS system . I could actually be a sword user which was mental . Use sword attacks , sword supers . It was amazing . But I can see them giving us a new jump force and it’ll bang
MHA was in the game. You had 4 MHA characters and 3 were DLC. Black clover was in the game but you only had Asta. Either way all of these animes have characters that deserved to be in the game. Its such a shame that you had only Asta from black clover...What a missed opportunity.
Jump force was dope. The graphics could have been way better no doubt, but the game itself was fun as hell
This game had so much potential too.😭🙏
I loved this game I feel like they could do a updated version with a bunch of more characters from more anime’s like demon slayer jujitsu KAISEN and more
You know guys, as Anime fan, I think we should be grateful for something like this to come out. Licensing gonna be harder and harder as time goes on, so we will never see anything like this, ever...
Hey I’m I’m just a person who got the game and I’m getting tmmr but can you still play this with friends? Online? Cuz my friend said he’ll get it to if he can play with me online
From my knowledge, the only way to play multiplayer is locally.
Yes
I was learning about who made sparking zero and yeah you can definitely see the bones of it in jump force. Glad they shaped up and delivered
We need an anime game similar to db xenoverse, like not just 1v1 with 4 abilites and 2 types of combos, J-star was good even tho the combat was so basic but for me and some people I know we enjoyed J-stars more the jump force
Just got recommended this video.
I might have a very different opinion about this game than everyone else. I am going to state the pros first:
Pros:
1. This game is a really, really good game whether you play it with friends or yourself. Why? Because there are so many characters you could try out with different move set.
2. They adapt characters from the latest adaptation of them, like how ichigo is on his final form from the manga (Which already ended) or Luffy Gear 4th.
3. The gameplay is straight up 🔥🔥🔥!!!! It's a face paced battle arena which are my favourite!!
4. I also really REALLY LOVE the graphics and character model, i like the aesthetics they are going for (anime characters in a Real World).
5. Character Customization had so much potential!! You can choose your battle style (ninja, pirates, or saiyan?) and made up your own skillset. Imagine if the game actually did well, we'd have more battle style.
Cons:
The only problem i've had with the game was the fact that the story mode is so ass, there are no cutscene, there was just 2 character models facing each other and given a voice. There is literally a cutscene where Frieza fly in like a PNG moving bruh.. there are no animation made for story mode, 0 animation made.
The trailer really fooled you that there is going to be this epic story mode cutscene, but there are none. You are forced to swallow this ass story with it's ass cutscene.
We wanted this game with cel shading and an actual good story mode. We're sick of dragonball xenoverse non stories. Give us quests, not cutscenes.
Edit: Open world??
bruh you want a story mode on this kind of game? 💀
@oebeo268 if it was good. The story mode in the game is ass but if it was fun maybe people qould still be playing the game. They also really needed a better art style like cel shading
@@izmizzle I think this kind of game don't need a story mode
This video has exactly 1000 comments now, don't break it
Surprised to hear the criticism about the graphics. I always thought it looked fine. As good as you can expect a 3D anime adaptation to look tbh
Yk jump force was actually an amazing local game to play. I had a blast with my cousin and being able to use sage of six paths Naruto against super sayin Goku is all I could ask for
The was actually really good and you can still play online rn
We need more introspective videos that keep it short and sweet. He gave us all the details we need in 5 min lol.
POV: you find out about jump force in 2023 and it looks really fun
ikr
Sadly unless you're on PC, all DLC is gone forever from digital storefronts
@@selfloathingweekly If your on pc then you can get the full game for free. except you can't play multiplayer
really how to downloa it?@@spleensplonsin
bro id pay 200 just for another hard copy
lack of important characters....like who cares to use Kaguya or Renji?
Renji was important, tybw ichigo at the time was not. Boruto and kaguya never will be
My biggest gripe was the fact that all the character's HP were shared. 3 characters, 1 shared HP bar.
Sorry, but graphics wise, this is better than any Bandai Namco games I have seen in recent years?
@@tash_views yet nobody really liked the realistic design
I think they should have waited a year and do some polishing before releasing. The condition it's in now, is the condition it should have been released in.
i love this game
I forgot about this game. And i still want to play it. As a kid my brother and I always wondered what would a game be like if they merged all animes into one game.
jump force wasn’t bad it was just the campaign that mad it look bad
I love playing this game locally on Pc. Its simple and story/single player not so good but playing against friends is so fun
Rip my 25$
I think the reason I put it down and never played again was something with the battle system. I don’t remember what exactly though.
Never played Jump Forces, but seeing this brings me back to J Stars man. The memories.
Atleast MUGEN Exists
Battle Stadium D.O.N is good alternative as well
I absolutley loved this game. I have 800+ hours on it and I might go play it tonight. My cousin got me into it and I got so good at it, he didn't want to play with me anymore. I loved doing the awakenings and just being able to play against other characters beyond a set story.
I can’t even find this on Xbox store
Its been delisted alongside all the DLC.
The amount of time I put into this I've probably fought everyone who has ever played this game. I cannot wait for the next addition
