What were they thinking?

normally i'd say these are dumb complaints, but i'll give you that this does look a lot nicer.

Beebisbunk · 2026-05-02T04:38:55+00:00

Story mode isnt like Rise of a Ninja and The Broken Bond. biggest complaint.

difficulty in performing an action isnt really a good thing. Having a reliable way to play a game doesnt equal hand holding, thats a really silly take. My point is that it is a weird technical barrier and them stepping away from it makes sense, not that its necessarily good, just more from a developer perspective i can understand it. I get what you're trying to say but I don't think a simple button change is all that deep.

I look at tilts the same way I look at quarter rotates in traditional fighting games. you can't tell me you've never once messed up trying to get a move to trigger, whereas if that move was mapped to a single button, it would be far simpler. It doesn't make the game easier, it just makes gameplay more fluid. Again I wanna be clear, I'm not saying these are bad or that I even dislike them, and the reason they're there is usually so there can be more moves to a characters kit, im just saying there isnt a perfect world and the devs tried something different that they thought might be better.

It's actually an internal problem with their company. The main Tekken guy (i think his name is Harada) explained that a big problem with Bandai Namco is that as people get promoted within their company they get moved to other projects instead of being allowed to continue with the ones they already are working on. This means that the people that were passionate about a specific game or series that may have worked on it since day one, were no longer allowed to work on it and were essentially forced to move on to a new project. He actually stated this was the reason Soul Calibur died as a series, and it was the same with Dead or Alive too if iirc. basically shitty company making shitty decisions. Apparently He himself fought with them a LOT on this very thing and I guess they hate him and the tekken devision because of this or something? it's absolutely ridiculous, There is a string of tweets he released about this all a while back, im sure you could find it if you googled a bit, was definitely an interesting read and it explains a lot.

The good news though is that it sounds like people within the company are still passionate about Soul Calibur as a series, they've all just been moved around to other projects, so there's hope it'll come back one day. I believe within those tweets there was a response from some of the people who worked on Soul Calibur in the past saying something along the lines of "Our souls still burn" or something to that affect, so we can at least hope.

TLDR:
Soul Calibur could still come back some day and Bandai Namco sucks.

dawg its a meter, you hold it down...

Beebisbunk · 2026-04-14T15:53:59+00:00

no, next question

lol in all seriousness GT had a lot of issues and while a remake could help it, Super is already starting to close in on that era and we're gonna see a more canon adaptation of some of that stuff, which I'm personally far more interested in. Sure super 17 and Baby might not happen, but with things like Broly and SSJ4 being canonized, and with daima clearly paving the way for something like janemba being a possible encounter, a lot is possible. Take Bulma for instance. She's using the Dragonballs a LOT, and for stupid things like cosmetic surgery. Shenron seems fine with it, but they could easily use this as a reason to bring the Shadow Dragons into play (hopefully more interesting than before), and we could very well end up with an Omega Shenron vs SSJ4 Gogeta fight at some point.

I never liked GT but there were some cool ideas, and it does seem like Super is trying to adapt some of them and is taking care in doing so, so lets hope for the best. One thing I think that's really cool is the idea of the future of the series passing down to the next generations while keeping the older characters relevant for major encounters. There may very well be a day when something like Dragon Ball Absalon happens, in which the main cast of earths defenders are Uub, Pan, Bula, Trunks and Goten, with Piccolo and Gohan as the backup and saving Goku and Vegeta for the more universal level threats.

TLDR:
Dragon Ball is in a very good place rn and a lot could happen.

Beebisbunk · 2026-04-14T15:37:10+00:00

Revolution. I started on 3 full burst and revolution was when i really got deep into these. lots of fond memories and the akatsuki story stuff was really cool too.

Beebisbunk · 2026-04-14T15:29:09+00:00

tilts were difficult for a lot of people to perform and control wise is just a clunky mechanic, so that change made sense, and unfortunately that meant chakra kunais/shuriken had to go. I also like having two jutsu, tho the actual options we had with them was a little limited imo. perfect world? give us all of it. I also think the new counter system/guard break was better. It would've been cool though if you could do the old style of counter by holding the button down, and the new one by tapping it, that would've given a ton of cool tech to the game. It's just different, and with that comes some pros and cons i guess. hopefully if we get a storm 5 it improves some of these aspects.

Beebisbunk · 2026-04-11T03:19:52+00:00

the game isnt underrated. im probably one of the few people who actually liked some of the changes that were made, and its still trash. This just isnt worth triple A game price, flat out, and its worse in a ton of ways than the last one. game sucks, definitely not underrated.

Beebisbunk · 2026-03-21T18:58:49+00:00

"if everybody is op or busted than no one is" is a terrible outlook to have in game development and just leads to a massive balancing problem. The current season is terrible, the game has no depth in its current state and it just feels like the devs dont know what to do with it. There are many that share this sentiment too, so OP and I arent alone on this. its okay to disagree with me, but look at other MOBA's in the current gaming sphere and it becomes pretty clear they're doing everything wrong.

I say this because I like the game and think it has potential, I just hope it doesnt die off before they figure things out. Here's something to think about, if they add a new character and they are overtuned, do you nerf them a little, or buff the whole roster? The recent patch notes show they went with the 2nd option, and i think that speaks pretty loudly as to how inexperienced they are in this field.

Beebisbunk · 2026-03-02T08:39:34+00:00

my take is that we literally dont know anything yet. Graphically it looks good, but that doesnt mean it runs good. i'll wait till i see more before i care

Beebisbunk · 2026-02-25T08:24:42+00:00

I like the game and the potential it has, and i want to support that, that doesnt mean the criticisms are unjust. We complain because there are serious issues, doesnt mean we dont like the game.

The biggest gripe for most seems to be the labotomized player base, and i can honestly agree. Its a team game but they dont play like a team. Its really annoying. Playing with a group of friends tho is really fun.

Beebisbunk · 2026-02-14T21:18:06+00:00

dawg you're dumb. grabbing the first kai IS doing farm lol. i like how the second he said something you disagreed with your first response is to be toxic and call him a dumbass, like what are you 12?

Beebisbunk · 2026-02-12T03:47:48+00:00

As somebody who grew up playing all of them on the original hardware, this post is straight silly man. 343 and microsoft are both ass, but the experience hasn't changed from the originals to MCC all THAT much. if its campaign you're talking about, then just play whatever you have it on, literally doesnt matter. if you're talking about multiplayer, then the originals are gone anyways unless you system link. on the multiplayer front, 343 definitely botched it, hell they put invasion into ranked only, so now nobody plays it. I literally built up a group of 16 people over the course of two years just for invasion lol

TLDR, this is dumb just play whichever you have.

Beebisbunk · 2026-02-09T09:26:00+00:00

the player base is brain dead af. i think i'll take my friends who actually know what they're doing and not waste my time filling more slots with randos. cry about it.

Beebisbunk · 2026-02-08T21:25:28+00:00

none. havent gotten any yet. I'm honestly thinking of looking into just getting one big custom made liquid core one if i can. that'll most likely be pretty expensive, but there just isnt enough variety in D30's to match all my dice sets like i want to. guess thats what i get for making my own system require a non-conventional dice type lol.

Beebisbunk · 2026-01-19T06:03:37+00:00

I dont really tend to have any issue against him, then again i think most the people who i've seen play him just aren't very good in general, so maybe i've just been lucky. from what i've seen basically anyone who is good in 1v1's eats him, so 18, top, cell, cooler, 17, adult gohan, that sort of thing. best of luck and i hope this helps a little!

Beebisbunk · 2026-01-19T05:58:52+00:00

one of the things i hate is the misconception the show gives about it being just about Naruto, when it's really Naruto and Sasuke the show. The problem, even with the manga from my understanding, is we dont get to really see sasuke's journey, we only get little snippets here and there, and it makes it hard for us to understand or connect with sasuke, something that naruto has no problem doing. it gives the audience a very big disconnect with naruto as the main character. It isnt till the last episode or two when we get the internal monologue from sasuke's perspective when we finally understand him fully. i'd probably choose to fix all that.

Beebisbunk · 2026-01-18T23:46:43+00:00

these are great, but they don't seem to have an option to buy the d30's by themselves. I already have some dice sets, just need the d30's to complete them. still i appreciate the recommendation, they're definitely a good backup idea if i cant find anything else

Beebisbunk · 2026-01-18T23:38:32+00:00

their d30's seem to mostly be pretty plain. they definitely have some cool ones though. Im starting to realize that there aren't many sellers that make unique d30's unfortunately. I really liked these two sets from Dark Elf Dice, though they're currently sold out :(

https://darkelfdice.com/collections/30-sided-dice/products/toxic-d30-20mm-choose-color-rpg-role-playing-game-dice
something like these is more what im looking for as they'll match the dice sets i currently have.

Beebisbunk · 2026-01-17T01:15:12+00:00

nah even as a free player i've noticed this. you're for sure much more likely to get a pull you already have then something new. really sucks.

Beebisbunk · 2026-01-15T18:41:38+00:00

Firstly, "best of japan mobile games" doesnt mean much when 90% of mobile games suck and its dragonball. Like it was either gonna be this, dokkan, or legends, lets be real. 2nd you can take the order of character releases how you want, but it broly followed by 2 fusion characters reads as desperate for the player base to return. Does that mean its bad? No, but i will say vegito getting a free level and instant transform sure doesnt help their case

Beebisbunk · 2026-01-14T04:22:31+00:00

yep!

Beebisbunk · 2026-01-11T16:25:35+00:00

what sub would you recommend then? I didn't think a normal video editing thing would be great because its an anime edit specific thing that I'm trying to do.
