That what me and my brother was saying. We both play ps5 but if we want to do certain things like combos you really need to slow your input timing down. Which is hard for me to do when I’m playing because I’m an aggressive player.
Bulma constantly saying Vegeta didn't buy her anything when I'm trying to buy something is the only issue I have, very annoying. I mean, you're the one with the money anyway...

I wanted cutscenes not cards. I also don't like that the ai seems to block and dodge everything. While you're hitting them it seems like they're not having any affect cuz they just brush it off and hit you back
you wanted Kakarot 2 it seems… how the hell would someone enjoy doing 50k different story modes with cutscenes in a game that isn't even focused on story
The AI is BS. I seriously think auto blocking auto dodging and z-countering your every move is BS on a normal difficulty. It feels like im playing on Nightmare mode in hell despite it being "normal" difficulty. I dont want input read hell. I want AI that engages with me instead of just waiting for me to attack and handing my ass to me no matter what i do it firces a single play style that even then DOES NOT WORK A brick wall is more engaging at that point But of course younger players and folks are just gonna place the famous assinign retort. "SKILL ISSUE"
Really is a skill issue I felt that way for first 12 hours or summit but coz I was button mashing when you truly start to pick it up and not spammy it’s feels lot easier time ur teleports and mix in ur dashes don’t always z port behind and spam square or x mix ur combos
I agree, game is great but among the flaws is one of the biggest and that being the AI during story.

I may as well have it on the hard modes cause frankly it does feel any different regardless of difficulty setting.

@@Chronocrits yea I know but I wish it would have scaled with how many players with difficulty or something. Just having 3 matches in regular tournament goes by fast when ring outs only take like 3 seconds
The only issues that I'm experiencing with the game on Steam/PC is that I click play/run, it will say "run" but will instantly say "play" and won't bring up the game at all. I'd tried picture-mode on Steam, it does bring up the game but will instantly crash or close the game immediately So, that's what I'm experiencing right now and some others are either the same boat as me or experiencing something else entirely.
To anyone having issues on the ps5 overheating and hard shutting off: you’re gonna have to get it professionally cleaned or have your own tools to open up every piece of your ps5 to dust. I was having the same issue and it was only big ps5 games that would hard crash, after the cleaning the problem went away completely, but I have a feeling I’ll have to do it again in a few years
What work for me was putting it sideways. I had mine standing since I bought it. Nba2k25 did it to me 2 (got messages saying is hot)once I put it sideway it work better. Less message from overheating and no autoshotdown....
I wish that there was a label that told you like, what type of character each one was. You kinda have to use your imagination. The reason being is that every character type has a certain set of rush attack options, and knowing the type helps with combo theory.
If you purchased a collectors edition, you'll have 2 codes. check your email for the first one (6 early playable characters) and the 2nd (DLC) is in the game case.
The game honestly could have used another year in the oven. I'm enjoying it but overall, the presentation from the story mode to many of the UIs and menus feel very slapdash and beta level; the World Tournament mode's in particular is atrocious; not an iota of soul. Then there's the ridiculous AI... the CPU shouldn't be dodging all my attacks at point blank range and casually blocking, parrying and negating most of my offense on even the lowest difficulty. Not to mention that when my attacks DO land it feels as if they barely grazed my opponent. The combat is sorely lacking in the impact department. The game, for all it has to offer, feels incomplete and still requires much polish.
I wouldnt say a year but yeah maybe like 3 more months, one the other hand i really wanted to play the game so im happy that its out now. Also on the 11th with the offical release we are getting a new patch with a offical built of the game, 10 gb, maybe some stuff gets improved there.
I only played this game for a hour yesterday, so I can’t fully speak, but I did notice deep mechanics in the training mode. Could it just be that you don’t know all the mechanics as of yet, and because of that, it’s harder to break their block, make them run out of ki, etc? I just think this game definitely has a big learning curve. I mean the amount of counters, blocks, etc I saw yesterday of playing it, made me wanna play it another day instead of late that night haha.
Yea, I’m normally not the one that tells someone it’s a skill issue, cuz most times it’s not, and ppl are just being mean and stupid for no reason, but this time, yea, it is a skill issue. Sparking Zero is based of the previous Tenkaichi games, and this is just simply how the game works. You’ll get better as you play a character. I will admit that they block alot more in this game though.
@@AYo_Zipp bro I literally did zero pvp matches 😭all this shit happened in training mode and story mode,I mean have you tried that warp Kamehameha?also rushes specials lost their tracking unlike bt3 and I get it that is so ppl don't spam it but still sucks
It’s a good game but I agree with the criticism, everyone has the same control scheme, it gets repetitive very quickly, fighterz is the best dragon ball game hands down
Thank god you called out that horrific GameSpot review that gave this a 6/10 bc it’s fan service, inflated roster, and story mode isn’t great (their words not mime) while also not reviewing the multiplayer except saying “mileage may vary”
The only thing I want changed ids for the perfect smashes to not make you vanish behind your opponent….it changes our positioning when it’s not wanted when we’re on the offense and it comes out slow in this game it should be in your face and a little faster
I uh.. I don’t think your perspective is as open minded as it should be. Sure, you have people that’ll complain about the bugs in the game, as you just said, but the other half is talking about the actual gameplay, story, animations, etc, that a day 1 patch can’t fix, and since it’s technically a “completed game”, more than likely, whatchu bought, is what you get. People are even talking about their PS5 overheating with this game, which probably isn’t a Sparking Zero problem. Anyway, I’m just the messenger.
this game is good but man i suggest people only buy this game at full price if you plan to do online if you only want cpu fights just wait for it to go on sale i was hyped af for this game but after playing it for a bit it didnt feel like bt3 at all and just a normal arena fighting game
story has multiple vague requirements that never trigger sparking episode paths ive played the goku branch path and vegetas multiple times and couldnt get it to trigger..... the game also feels like its missing a mode
@LILJAYSO777 it tells you the condition when during the battle open the menu if there's a branching path there will be a forth condition like winning within a time limit or doing a specific action
@@LILJAYSO777 Huh...? No, I'm asking YOU bro. Like, we have; - Tourney On/Offline. - Story for 8 diff characters. - Online Ranked. - Custom Battles. - Creator Custom Scenarios. - Character "Encyclopedia." - Many banger soundtracks. I'm happy wit what we got, but I'm not saying there couldn't be more or whatever. Idk. 🤷🏾♂️ But, I'm LITERALLY asking you WHAT kinda extra mode(s) would you like to see implemented in the future if they could?
to be 100% honest, I do like this game, but the story mode is unnecessarily hard due to enemies spamming like hell and lowering the difficulty only makes you not able to do certain stuff and nothing else, also some lag spikes mainly on main menu
Yea I thought I was the only one even with the learning curve it’s very tedious at a certain point depending on the character your playing sometimes all you can do is spam back when you’re pushed into a corner 😂😂 other than that I love the game
SEE THIS IF YOUR ON STEAM USING A CONTROLLER AND HAVE DELAYED ISSUES:Just wire the controllers to the ps5/pc/ Xbox and it shouldn’t be delayed guys. Or just play close to your device but it’s quite annoying because you can’t use a damn controller 3 feet out your console/pc without a cord
The advance dbz sz players on ps5 should adjust the frame rate to quality mode. Smooths out the highend pace of the game. Allowing you to play with less heating up. Performance mode needs the developers update.
So I pre-ordered ultimate edition of the game..redeemed the code in the box but I didn't see any new characters..? Aren't I supposed to get Gogeta/Broly & Daima Goku ?
Anyone else having the problem that you can't create a private match with a friend ? We can create it but we can't join eachother. Please help me out if you found a way to fix this.
I play it on the PS5, and I noticed something with the gameplay on story mode. I get my player looking like static or like they are about to disappear, but its not a move but more like a glitch. Along with this, my player will sometimes freeze while in the middle of a combo. I think my controller died, but then it starts acting normal. I think it might be the game forcing me to lose, or its only made to fight till their helth is low, not for me to beat them. I would be hitting buttons but nothing happens yet i can still move around.
Another problem is when you transform sometimes the animation doesn’t go away they will keep the aura around them like there charging but there not an ssj 2 goku transformation animation needs alittle work button registration is alittle wonky but 10/10 game
There's definitely some minor problems and a couple things I think that they need to add through quality of life updates like Transformations for certain characters like the other Saiyans with tails little goku and I'm not sure why garlic Juniors first form was left out but it definitely needs to be added but outside of that I'm really happy
I couldn't get into it. Combat felt so clunky, even went into practise\training thing to try get used to it but it just never clicked. I liked the complexity of the fighting, but it just doesn't feel right. Also these 3d environment db games never sat right with me, I can't keep track of where the opponent is sometimes with all the rocks blocking the view lol. Budokai 3 next to Fighter Z are my fav db games. Also the episode mode felt very tacked on and lazy, I get that it is a pvp focused game but come on it has been like 17 years and this is the best they could do? Fighter Z literally introduced a new character albeit not canon but still a good character that felt right in the db universe, and a whole story surrounding them as well. I expected more from Sparking Zero, being a successor to budokai. I really wanted to like this one, but I just can't. Maybe I will try kakarot, and pray they do a tournament of power dlc lol. Good to hear some db fans are enjoying it at least, it is just not for me.
The stuttering is a fact for sure. But the gameplay also has issues, specifically a input delay, is not that much but its definitely there. Hopefully Bandai Namco listens to the feedback and pushes either a hot fix or an update soon.
regarding the stuttering does it like switch back and forth when you want to be on one section but it went back to the previous section. that stuttering.
Highly disagree it’s not suppose to be just fan service it’s suppose to be a good game no matter if it’s an anime game or not. You are critiquing a game. Regardless it’s a good game and has depth.
Fan service? XD if you don’t like dragon ball of course you’d see it as fan service because the game is built around the idea of the dragon ball universe. Still great in-depth combat!
I bet those overheating PS5 need a cleaning. Mine was shutting down when playing FF16 and I realized, I haven’t kept up with cleaning my PS5. No issues overheating with SZ
I bought two fans for my PS5 one on the very back that blows out one of the top that blows up with the temperature gauge I have one as a backup I plug in and set on the floor to blow on to my PS5 cuz some games do still overheats with those two fans on the temperature gauge should not run over 95° can I get up to like 92 still it's depending on how hot your room is to I got a small room
Ok so here are a few if my Nitpicks and a few if my genuine criticisms. Nitpick: World tournament doesn't address the characters specifically and sometimes the announcer says things that don't make sense or repeat too much. Genuine Criticism: Why call it an "Encyclopedia" if there is no Bio, No Information, nothing about the characters other than whats said in Girl Talk? It's more of a character viewer. doesn't even list the voice actors for each. GC: Not enough time to pick characters in Online Mode. 30 or 40 seconds to pick 5 characters with how you have the select screen? C'mon GC: Some of the UI and stuff isn't very intuitive or is sometimes inconvenient. For example in order to go from the shop to the customize screen you have to go all the way back to the main menu. This type of thing is also in Training Mode, Where instead of automatically going to the next lesson after you're done, you have to exit to go back to the training list. Nitpick: Some character transformations i feel should have better animations. Like Kale to Berserk should definitely have something special. Nitpick: Zeni reward reducing significantly after first win in world tournament mode. honestly it hurts the replayability of that mode. so maybe not a nitpick? Nitpick: Shenron Wishes are kinda Vague and sometimes feel like wastes. "Raise My player level"... by 1 or...? (it gives you XP)
The only problem I have is some buttons don’t register when I hit them
You use steam with controller? I have same problem
It feels delayed, I use ps5 much people have the same problem. Do you have the problem too. I could give a solution
Same PROBLEM

@@Chronocrits yea I know but I wish it would have scaled with how many players with difficulty or something. Just having 3 matches in regular tournament goes by fast when ring outs only take like 3 seconds
@@dfj3305 Yeah, true. Especially if you’re using a pretty suped up character.
@@dfj3305Don’t play with ring outs
The only issues that I'm experiencing with the game on Steam/PC is that I click play/run, it will say "run" but will instantly say "play" and won't bring up the game at all.
I'd tried picture-mode on Steam, it does bring up the game but will instantly crash or close the game immediately
So, that's what I'm experiencing right now and some others are either the same boat as me or experiencing something else entirely.
Oooffff get a console lol
@@alz397not his pcs fault it would literally be more logical to say get a better bandai
@@Korangar205 hmmmm i guess you’re right, now that I think about it.

To anyone having issues on the ps5 overheating and hard shutting off: you’re gonna have to get it professionally cleaned or have your own tools to open up every piece of your ps5 to dust. I was having the same issue and it was only big ps5 games that would hard crash, after the cleaning the problem went away completely, but I have a feeling I’ll have to do it again in a few years
Just cleaned my whole system like 2 weeks ago down to the fan and motherboard and it's still Super overheating only on this game
Just get a PC bro.
What work for me was putting it sideways. I had mine standing since I bought it. Nba2k25 did it to me 2 (got messages saying is hot)once I put it sideway it work better. Less message from overheating and no autoshotdown....
@@odrroru not meant to put that jawn sideways
@@Mikemuscletvno I have
R.i.p Doc Harris
Im sure the game will be fixed soon
I wish that there was a label that told you like, what type of character each one was. You kinda have to use your imagination. The reason being is that every character type has a certain set of rush attack options, and knowing the type helps with combo theory.
Appreciate u guys beta testing, i went the hsn route (thanks for recommending) also gonna buy some orange box dvds to pay homage to the great
Did any of you get the collectors edition i entered my ultimate code but don't got the early unlocks
If you purchased a collectors edition, you'll have 2 codes. check your email for the first one (6 early playable characters) and the 2nd (DLC) is in the game case.
Bro I have no idea what some of these reviewers were expecting … I hate that they keep trying to compare it to 2D fighting games
their fake dbz fans
The game honestly could have used another year in the oven.
I'm enjoying it but overall, the presentation from the story mode to many of the UIs and menus feel very slapdash and beta level; the World Tournament mode's in particular is atrocious; not an iota of soul. Then there's the ridiculous AI... the CPU shouldn't be dodging all my attacks at point blank range and casually blocking, parrying and negating most of my offense on even the lowest difficulty. Not to mention that when my attacks DO land it feels as if they barely grazed my opponent. The combat is sorely lacking in the impact department.
The game, for all it has to offer, feels incomplete and still requires much polish.
I wouldnt say a year but yeah maybe like 3 more months, one the other hand i really wanted to play the game so im happy that its out now.
Also on the 11th with the offical release we are getting a new patch with a offical built of the game, 10 gb, maybe some stuff gets improved there.
@@tomasguilherme263That's what I'm looking forward to
Definitely miss the days when games were complete out the door
@@TheBamaPrinceableyeah bro but in this day and age thats a rare thing
I only played this game for a hour yesterday, so I can’t fully speak, but I did notice deep mechanics in the training mode. Could it just be that you don’t know all the mechanics as of yet, and because of that, it’s harder to break their block, make them run out of ki, etc? I just think this game definitely has a big learning curve. I mean the amount of counters, blocks, etc I saw yesterday of playing it, made me wanna play it another day instead of late that night haha.
@@AYo_Zipp I won't disagree with that
This may be the Infinite World of the Tenkaichi series
Only issue i have with the game is the fact that the supers/ultimates miss 7 out of 10 times
Well, if yoy just launch them out, yeah. You gotta combo to confirm them.
That sounds like a skill issue lmao I get mine off all the time. Can't spam them and expect people to not be able to avoid it
@@bohannon2692 I'm speaking about some rushing super/ultimates you 🍩,they just fucking miss like per example z lssj broly rush super
Yea, I’m normally not the one that tells someone it’s a skill issue, cuz most times it’s not, and ppl are just being mean and stupid for no reason, but this time, yea, it is a skill issue. Sparking Zero is based of the previous Tenkaichi games, and this is just simply how the game works. You’ll get better as you play a character. I will admit that they block alot more in this game though.
@@AYo_Zipp bro I literally did zero pvp matches 😭all this shit happened in training mode and story mode,I mean have you tried that warp Kamehameha?also rushes specials lost their tracking unlike bt3 and I get it that is so ppl don't spam it but still sucks
Running like butter on my Series X so far. I’ll keep my eye open for these stuttering issues.
Butter isn’t runny my friend
Maybe you mean smooth like butter? 😭
Is it just me, or do Revenge Counters don’t register sometimes? Even though I’ve met the conditions. It’s weird.
Hope you don’t bring up character balancing cause certain characters are spose to be stronger than others! That is TENKAICHI!!
The more you play this game you start to realize how complex it actually it
Missing a mode to play with whatever character u want story wise, and the blocking/teleport controls are mid and should be more controllable
It’s a good game but I agree with the criticism, everyone has the same control scheme, it gets repetitive very quickly, fighterz is the best dragon ball game hands down
Thank god you called out that horrific GameSpot review that gave this a 6/10 bc it’s fan service, inflated roster, and story mode isn’t great (their words not mime) while also not reviewing the multiplayer except saying “mileage may vary”
My biggest issue is the poor online connection/ lag issues and terrible matchmaking infrastructure. Absolutely terrible.
The only thing I want changed ids for the perfect smashes to not make you vanish behind your opponent….it changes our positioning when it’s not wanted when we’re on the offense and it comes out slow in this game it should be in your face and a little faster
I felt some kinda way when the anime sounds tracks are sold separately instead of being included in the ultimate edition
I can’t believe ppl are so expecting perfect gameplay playing a game 3 days earlier
Early access is just a marketing strategy, the game is done and released. It’s basically a late access for people who pay less
I uh.. I don’t think your perspective is as open minded as it should be. Sure, you have people that’ll complain about the bugs in the game, as you just said, but the other half is talking about the actual gameplay, story, animations, etc, that a day 1 patch can’t fix, and since it’s technically a “completed game”, more than likely, whatchu bought, is what you get. People are even talking about their PS5 overheating with this game, which probably isn’t a Sparking Zero problem. Anyway, I’m just the messenger.
this game is good but man i suggest people only buy this game at full price if you plan to do online if you only want cpu fights just wait for it to go on sale i was hyped af for this game but after playing it for a bit it didnt feel like bt3 at all and just a normal arena fighting game
story has multiple vague requirements that never trigger sparking episode paths ive played the goku branch path and vegetas multiple times and couldnt get it to trigger..... the game also feels like its missing a mode
What mode?
@@MirageUchiha ask Bandai 🤷🏽♂️
@LILJAYSO777 it tells you the condition when during the battle open the menu if there's a branching path there will be a forth condition like winning within a time limit or doing a specific action
@@LILJAYSO777
Huh...?
No, I'm asking YOU bro.
Like, we have;
- Tourney On/Offline.
- Story for 8 diff characters.
- Online Ranked.
- Custom Battles.
- Creator Custom Scenarios.
- Character "Encyclopedia."
- Many banger soundtracks.
I'm happy wit what we got, but I'm not saying there couldn't be more or whatever. Idk. 🤷🏾♂️
But, I'm LITERALLY asking you WHAT kinda extra mode(s) would you like to see implemented in the future if they could?
@@takaharamaragara1392 where do I see the requirements on the start menu??? During the fight ?
to be 100% honest, I do like this game, but the story mode is unnecessarily hard due to enemies spamming like hell and lowering the difficulty only makes you not able to do certain stuff and nothing else, also some lag spikes mainly on main menu
Yea I thought I was the only one even with the learning curve it’s very tedious at a certain point depending on the character your playing sometimes all you can do is spam back when you’re pushed into a corner 😂😂 other than that I love the game
I agree with the story complaint
Skill issue
Appreciate the honesty
Is there difficulty settings?
That has got to be the most mindless comeback to the game lacking complexity... Come on dude.
SEE THIS IF YOUR ON STEAM USING A CONTROLLER AND HAVE DELAYED ISSUES:Just wire the controllers to the ps5/pc/ Xbox and it shouldn’t be delayed guys. Or just play close to your device but it’s quite annoying because you can’t use a damn controller 3 feet out your console/pc without a cord
The advance dbz sz players on ps5 should adjust the frame rate to quality mode. Smooths out the highend pace of the game. Allowing you to play with less heating up. Performance mode needs the developers update.
I haven’t came across any problems yet. Let’s hope it stays that way😅
The only issue I have is that every characters feels the same. The combat system itself feels good tho.
So I pre-ordered ultimate edition of the game..redeemed the code in the box but I didn't see any new characters..? Aren't I supposed to get Gogeta/Broly & Daima Goku ?
Anyone else having the problem that you can't create a private match with a friend ? We can create it but we can't join eachother. Please help me out if you found a way to fix this.
I play it on the PS5, and I noticed something with the gameplay on story mode. I get my player looking like static or like they are about to disappear, but its not a move but more like a glitch. Along with this, my player will sometimes freeze while in the middle of a combo. I think my controller died, but then it starts acting normal. I think it might be the game forcing me to lose, or its only made to fight till their helth is low, not for me to beat them. I would be hitting buttons but nothing happens yet i can still move around.
Only issue is cant connect with any online matches always communication error showing. Feel Like I Wasted My Money 😢
So I pre ordered the ultimate edition physical, entered the voucher code, and I still can't use mini goku,or the gogeta/broly pack, what should I do?
BRO FUCK THAT TIME LIMIT WHEN CHOOSING MY TEAMS. I swear im being rushed to oblivion
Take a shot everytime he says “Stuttering”
Another problem is when you transform sometimes the animation doesn’t go away they will keep the aura around them like there charging but there not an ssj 2 goku transformation animation needs alittle work button registration is alittle wonky but 10/10 game
The only problem is the lack of cutscenes the slide shows are annoying
There's definitely some minor problems and a couple things I think that they need to add through quality of life updates like Transformations for certain characters like the other Saiyans with tails little goku and I'm not sure why garlic Juniors first form was left out but it definitely needs to be added but outside of that I'm really happy
I couldn't get into it. Combat felt so clunky, even went into practise\training thing to try get used to it but it just never clicked. I liked the complexity of the fighting, but it just doesn't feel right. Also these 3d environment db games never sat right with me, I can't keep track of where the opponent is sometimes with all the rocks blocking the view lol. Budokai 3 next to Fighter Z are my fav db games. Also the episode mode felt very tacked on and lazy, I get that it is a pvp focused game but come on it has been like 17 years and this is the best they could do? Fighter Z literally introduced a new character albeit not canon but still a good character that felt right in the db universe, and a whole story surrounding them as well. I expected more from Sparking Zero, being a successor to budokai.
I really wanted to like this one, but I just can't. Maybe I will try kakarot, and pray they do a tournament of power dlc lol. Good to hear some db fans are enjoying it at least, it is just not for me.
The stuttering is a fact for sure. But the gameplay also has issues, specifically a input delay, is not that much but its definitely there. Hopefully Bandai Namco listens to the feedback and pushes either a hot fix or an update soon.
That’s the nature of the beast when it comes to early releases.
No widescreen support on PC so it is a fail.
I get what you mean, but I’m sure you could easily find a mod for Widescreen the day it officially comes out, if one isn’t out already.
Its more time limit for Selecting teams and buttons to be fix
Does the game randomly crash for anyone? I have a very beefy laptop and it seems to just quit the game every now and then (avg 30 mins)
Some of the inputs don’t work with certain characters, and sometimes I can’t switch characters
Rip Doc Harris but I’m wondering why they couldn’t use the voice of adult Gohan for the narration cut scenes
Overheating issue: check the dust catchers in yall ps5 I was having that issue on AstroBot at one point till I had vacuum it out
They need to clean their ps5s out
just took close to 20 plus years for a game like this and they still couldnt get the launch right loool,
U rly think they took 17 full yrs to do this? 💀 such a dbass 💀
@@sayhjsjii6349 do you read ? Lmaoo mf for a game like this not to make it 🤣
@@DonDarko593it’s made it buddy and try to launch a game with all these moving parts and try to get it out without bugs and issues
They worked five years on the Game and IT IS Like ITS a Beta Game they should say sorry but we Need to Work another years on IT😅
If youre older than 12 this game is not for you.
regarding the stuttering does it like switch back and forth when you want to be on one section but it went back to the previous section. that stuttering.
The only issue is that I have to wait till Friday to play it
I couldn't leave the tournament menu so it gets stuck on the menu and I am pressing "x" so am unable to leave sometimes
Highly disagree it’s not suppose to be just fan service it’s suppose to be a good game no matter if it’s an anime game or not. You are critiquing a game. Regardless it’s a good game and has depth.
I can’t be the only one who can’t access any of the season pass characters
The camera glitching button delay is my only problems
Currently struggling against this Goku Black/Zamasu fight.
I got a 700pc I put my settings on medium. It plays preferably fine. It’s not strong as the PlayStation five but it plays pretty good.
Fan service? XD if you don’t like dragon ball of course you’d see it as fan service because the game is built around the idea of the dragon ball universe. Still great in-depth combat!
I bet those overheating PS5 need a cleaning. Mine was shutting down when playing FF16 and I realized, I haven’t kept up with cleaning my PS5. No issues overheating with SZ
On PC, the Tournament of Destroyers and Tournament of Power rule set cause the game to crash. Anyone else experiencing this?
Is anyone else having a problem with not having any pre order bonuses
Played for 4 hours straight yesterday and it ran fine and no over heating on my PS5.
However, i feel lile there is input lag at times
I bought two fans for my PS5 one on the very back that blows out one of the top that blows up with the temperature gauge I have one as a backup I plug in and set on the floor to blow on to my PS5 cuz some games do still overheats with those two fans on the temperature gauge should not run over 95° can I get up to like 92 still it's depending on how hot your room is to I got a small room
Ok so here are a few if my Nitpicks and a few if my genuine criticisms.
Nitpick: World tournament doesn't address the characters specifically and sometimes the announcer says things that don't make sense or repeat too much.
Genuine Criticism: Why call it an "Encyclopedia" if there is no Bio, No Information, nothing about the characters other than whats said in Girl Talk? It's more of a character viewer. doesn't even list the voice actors for each.
GC: Not enough time to pick characters in Online Mode. 30 or 40 seconds to pick 5 characters with how you have the select screen? C'mon
GC: Some of the UI and stuff isn't very intuitive or is sometimes inconvenient. For example in order to go from the shop to the customize screen you have to go all the way back to the main menu. This type of thing is also in Training Mode, Where instead of automatically going to the next lesson after you're done, you have to exit to go back to the training list.
Nitpick: Some character transformations i feel should have better animations. Like Kale to Berserk should definitely have something special.
Nitpick: Zeni reward reducing significantly after first win in world tournament mode. honestly it hurts the replayability of that mode. so maybe not a nitpick?
Nitpick: Shenron Wishes are kinda Vague and sometimes feel like wastes. "Raise My player level"... by 1 or...? (it gives you XP)
Lol My problem was all my abilities would be set to triangle everytime i go online with classic mode so i had to switch back to standard mode
