Is Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi REALLY That Bad?!

  • Today, we venture back to what I believe is the worst Dragon Ball Z game of all time. Ultimate Tenkaichi is an insult to the very series it stems from and is purely fun to watch... not play. Is it truly that bad? Well, you know the answer.

      That happened to me. It is like they decided the rock paper scissors mechanic in budokai 3 was cool and made that an entire game. It looks flashy, but playing with it is awful.

    The one good thing I remember about this game was the visuals.
    It's still nuts to me that it took until Fighter Z, 7 years after Ultimate Tenkaichi came out, for us to get a better looking Dragon Ball game. Then Kakarot a while after that.
    Even then the visuals still hold up a decade later and it blows my mind. So much hard work from the artists and graphics team for such a steaming piece of crap.

    Budokai 3 to this day is still my favorite. That being said, when the ads for this game came out, it was like somebody took the dragon rush mechanic from Budokai 3 (which I hated since it was all luck), and made an entire game out of it.

    There is a glaring flaw about the story mode’s presentation. They reuse some of the voice clips from Raging Blast while adding new dialogue.

    11:46 To be fair, the RPS element was first introduced in Budokai 3 via the Dragon Rush mechanic. You could negate someone's whole super move just by guessing the same button. To your point, it seemed like they were copying ultimate ninja in that game too. The problem started earlier than people realize

  • @NathanTG

    The only thing that makes me nostalgic about this game is reading so many comments that shared the exact same disappointment I felt at the time. I grew up on the Budokai series, I just started my work career at the end of 2011 and with my first ever paycheck...This is the game I bought.
    It was a bit weird that the game was barely promoted, I think I'd seen like 1 ad for it, and ofcouse I too assumed this would be technically "Tenkaichi 4".
    I remember clearly coming home after purchase, firing up the Xbox at around 8PM after supper...Here we go...
    And while I don't remember my word for word thoughts, I distinctly remember looking at the screen during a battle with a look of confused disgust.
    Seeing the idea of your own created saiyan was SUPER intriguing at the time, I was filled with ideas of creating fan fiction characters, The son of Raditz, Vegeta's older brother etc. And I don't know how long or how far that concept would have gone but I didn't stick around long enough to explore it. I played the first session for about 2 hours before quickly ejecting the disc, then I think I gave it a retry a few days later for MAYBE half an hour at most, that was all I could bare of it... then I never saw it again until the day I picked it up to trade in at my local store.
    Well, hey, atleast it's now 12 years later in 2023 and we're on the horizon of getting the proper successor to Budokai Tenkaichi 3.

    Yes, I can definitely say I feel nostalgic towards this game as It was the last game along with Raging Blast 2 that I played on Xbox 360 before I moved onto the Xbox One then a year later onto the PS4.
    And I played a crap ton with this game. I can’t exactly describe in full detail why I kept playing this game every day before I left the Xbox 360, other than with this phrase “It’s so bad that it’s good” to which is a phrase I usually hear with certain movies. That’s the best in how I can explain it on how I feel with Ultimate Tenkaichi. It’s not actually good, But I can’t help myself from being willing to play it back then.
    Though I obviously don’t play it anymore so that feeling is gone other than the nostalgia I have for it.

It was also what caused some of the arguments that I ended up having with people. It looked incredibly dull, and nothing I saw in the trailers was encouraging me to get hyped. If anything, it felt like the more I watched, the worse it looked. Thankfully I stuck with my gut and didn't buy it. I have no regrets about that decision whatsoever.

    I'm aware some are not a fan of the rock-paper-scissors "battle mechanic", and while granted in online PvP I could understand, you can actually predict the opponent and/or burst your ki to throw the rock-paper-scissors out the window.
    I can accept that the general consensus is that this is a low point in Dragon Ball videogame history but I seriously love it, if you're looking for very casual gameplay THIS is it.

    When I played this game for the first (and only) time, I only played hero mode and I was like "as soon as I finish the tutorial this will get good" "I can't wait to finish the tutorial to kick everybody's ass" "oh no! this is not a tutorial, that's the gameplay" "what? I can't even fly to wherever I want during combat"
    I lost so many matches just because I pressed the wrong buttons. It was so repetitive, so tedious, so boring I only played for like two days and returned it. visually looks good, except for the super saiyajin, it looks to greenish, and the roster was probably small, I don't remember, as I say, I only played hero mode.

    Here's my idea to how Ultimate Tenkaichi Coulda been great:
    1. Just recycle the same fighting mechanics from Raging Blast 2, and tournament mode.
    2. For the rock paper scissors stuff, make it done sparringly filling up some sort of combo meter THEN the rock paper scissors combo will come out and see which player gets it right so that way it feels earned to be in.
    3. Make the whole roster be from dragon ball to dragon Ball GT. ((at the time, beerus from super wasn't thought out yet.))
    4. Add a special documentary movie on the history of dragon ball (kinda like the plan to eradicate the Saiyan's movie but instead it's a how dragon ball is made documentary)
    5. OPTIONAL: name the game: Raging Blast 3.

    This game wasn't even that bad it has better customization than XenoVerse for CAC. Combat system is a bit wonky but so is XenoVerse netcode. Also you understated the counter system which means you have to keep certain amount of ki on you to counter effectively like with the ⬜ , triangle, or circle button.
    Ultimate Tenkaichi is superior to battle of Z.
    Like I said a year ago if they put that much effort into CAC like they did in ultimate Tenkaichi and have the fighting system like XenoVerse with a good net code would be sick.

    Great video man. I am on a DBZ Marathon right now, reliving all the classics and this helped me stay away from a terrible experience. The rock paper scissors mechanic is what I hated so much in Budokai 3 (known as Dragon Rush there), which was really sad to me because everything else about this game is amazing, but everytime the AI drags me into Dragon Rush, I feel like rage quitting.

    BT4 needs the old button mash style and just needs to be a fun “arcade” style game. Keep the beam struggles, the wacky characters, the cool transformations and style. Keep forms like great ape and ect. And they just to expand off the 3rd game. Just add the new characters and forms

    Whar i hated the most was everyone has the same fighting style. It was like they just change model skins 😤They all had the same combos. I was fine with the rock paper stuff. As long as they all felt different. But this game was beautiful. I also hated fighting the same big transformed king Kong ozzra monster... Over & over. The first time was awesome. But after the 3rd I was tired of it. Fighting the dragon Sharon was a first for the series. I enjoyed the game but I hated some problems. I still have my copy. I liked it enough to keep it.

    It's a shame really.
    I finally played all the way through this game a few months ago(well, 80-90% of it at least).
    If they removed the Rock, Paper, Sizzors from the game, it'd actually be good.
    Also, on the topic of character customization...
    This game has 3 things people have begged for in Xenoverse since the 1st game.
    1. Customizable Aura's.
    The ability to have a firey, green aura is sick.
    2. Customizable Combos.
    You can pick what characters fighting style you want to use, which is cool(it barely altered gameplay, but it looked cool).
    3. Different Skill Sets depending on your Transformation.
    Having 2 separate Skill Sets was cool, and basically meant you could carry double the skills.

    This game actually uses a modified Dragon Ball Raging Blast 2 engine for how the gameplay works. In Japan, this game was called Dragon Ball Ultimate Blast as it's technically the unofficial third game in the Dragon Ball Raging Blast series, even using the same gameplay engine, characters, and animations. They only had to modify the animations for this game or create new animations for the Dragon Ball GT Characters and the giant bosses for the boss fights. Also, this game came out on October 25th, 2011, so it did not come out in 2012. However, this got released twice as it was reused for Dragon Ball Z For Kinect on Xbox 360 which was released on October 9th, 2012. So, instead of a controller being used, you use your entire body for everything including story mode, hero mode with your custom character, and co-op. What's funny is that Dragon Ball Z For Kinect has an exclusive character to the game that isn't available in Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Tenkaichi: Super Saiyan Bardock.

  • @Madara8989

    This game feels like it was the dev's response to the minority of fans who complained that for all the praise B3, BT3, and the RB games got for being fun, they didn't remotely resemble actually watching the show - that is, B3 was stuck on a 2D plane and the free range of movement in BT3 and RB made it near impossible to recreate the same flow of action from the show (which should be obvious since shows are scripted to emphasis drama and competitions aren't).
    For instance, 9 times out of 10, energy blasts in the show are used at to attack at range and the opponent typically either tanks or blocks it; but in games, the freedom of movement make ki attacks pretty useless at range because any further than 10m and you can just dash to the side to avoid it. What's more, no one playing a fighting game is going to intentionally take any amount of damage from an enemy super/ultimate just to recreate some false sense of drama or narrative flow.
    Then this game comes along and shows us that "No, we don't actually want a game to play out like an episode of DBZ" because it requires stripping almost all autonomy from the player and makes the gameplay loop too shallow to want to master and too luck based to not feel like skill doesn't matter.

  • @lwandilengubane9638
    @lwandilengubane9638 Год назад +1

    One thing I really hated about the combat in this game was the spirit gauge and how it controlled your battle options, like if you wanted to do certain attacks it would consume spirit gauge or how you needed sg to dodge, block or counter npcs super attacks instead of just being able to y’know move out of the way. Also I’m a huge ultimate ninja storm guy I still play some w my homies every now and then and yes it does have pretty simple combos, you just spam circle but even though certain aspects of uns combat system are simple, they’re well thought out and combine together to make you feel like a magic ninja wizard. The game encourages you to play fast and cautious, and because of how the simple combat works together with the movement options and how that works together with the blocking mechanic and how that ties to substitution- there’s so much room for variation and creativity that players often have different strategies and fighting styles literally no two matches are the same but ultimate tenkaichi’s gameplay mechanics work against immersing you in the game, after every 5 hits an unplayable cutscene triggers, you can’t spam super attacks, the spirit gauge feels like a grind and more of a punishment than a cool game mechanic and the tactical nature of the game is mainly presented as mini-games and qte’s. It’s not the worst game ever but it’s somewhere on that list
