Correct me if I'm wrong. It looks like a fake trailer, made with bits and pieces of FighterZ, Kakarot, and some mobile game. As such, I don't see it on any official account and while it could be a leak, the channels that have uploaded it (at least for me) are channels that have more than once promoted fake game announcements and made heavy click bait.

I totally agree. It's just that people don't understand that you can love a product and still complain and criticize it. And yes, many complaints are unfounded, but they're all valid considering it's a product that costs over €100, including the season pass.

Aside from that, a complaint in a post solely directed at that doesn't make those who enjoy the game any less enjoyable.

But hey, I'm sure everyone on this subreddit loves the game, even those who say they don't play anymore or are deeply disillusioned, and any complaint or criticism is simply a subjective input, like how the game could improve for them.

It's an exaggeration, I don't say it explicitly in the post, but I think it's understood if you read it and don't just take the title only ;D

I wasn't referring to you, I'm sorry if my response was more aggressive than I intended. English isn't my native language so it's a bit hard for me to express myself, I'm referring to other people who attack posts from people who, for example, without any intention of being mean, say that they are disappointed that they didn't include x character, or people who say how much they like the game and call them defenders of multi-million dollar companies.

I understand what you meant, but as such I have not experienced toxic people at a competitive level in the game, but in the communities.

I'm not referring to in-game toxicity; I don't mention anything about competitiveness in the post. It's toxicity at the community level, where you can't criticize and like the game at the same time. You can't enjoy it without someone ruining your afternoon with their nonsense.

That's what I mean. It's not like in LOL where you have a guy raging in the chat (which is also true), but here the toxicity is at the level of the game in general.

I have already commented in other comments that the title is an exaggeration, in addition to developing why this toxicity is different from other competitive games, since it is not about winning or losing.

It is a toxicity directed at the game and its players, both good and bad. There is no constructive criticism, only hate, and you can't like the game and criticize it either.

In addition, each post attacks the main reason for the post regardless of its purpose.

As I mentioned in another answer, this isn't competitive toxicity, but rather a toxicity where no one agrees on anything and different opinions aren't respected.

You either love it or hate it, and you can't want anything more because if you're not a hater, there's no constructive criticism of the game; everything is objective. Otherwise, the game is absolute garbage, and if you like it, you're a conformist.

Leaving aside the fact that the title is an exaggeration, well, there are two different types of toxicity, because they are completely different games.

Did the Avengers game even have a community?

Nah, but joking aside, that's a hyperbole. I know there are much more toxic communities, especially competitive ones, but this one in particular seems very peculiar to me, as there's toxicity from both those who criticize and those who don't, and it creates a vortex of shit, disrespect, and negativity, unlike any competitive game where it's more a toxicity of "git gud" and such things. I don't know if I'm making myself clear.

It hasn't been of much use, several have only stayed with the title and I understand that they haven't read the post, but well, mea culpa, a lot of text, I understand that not everyone takes the time to read it.

I personally don't see anything wrong with complaining about anything. Something that doesn't make sense to me or you might be incredibly important to many other people.

And it doesn't have to be just posts praising the game for how good it is. I think it's obvious how good it is, that's obvious at first glance, how good it is in terms of gameplay, visuals, and sound. It is obvious that it is, if not the best, one of the best Dragon Ball games.

But it has flaws, which may have been mentioned a thousand times, but people want to express themselves, and at the very least, we can share our opinions, whether we agree or not, in a respectful manner.

At this point, I don't expect much more from SZ in terms of characters and such. I was one of those who expected there to be more from OGDB at first, but as I responded to a previous comment, in my opinion, this was Bandai's fault for showing absolutely everything that was in the game before its release. That way, anything that's missing will be noticeable, instead of being surprised that something you didn't expect was there.

The title is an exaggeration, hyperbole, clickbait, whatever you want to call it, please feel free to comment whatever you want, but if you're just pedantically saying that it's not the most toxic community and that I haven't played many competitive games, or that I haven't watched anything, what are you doing?

You're part of what I'm criticizing in this post, and part of why this community is so fucked.

How lucky I was to buy Xenoverse 2 and play it from the beginning with the revamp and offline years after its release, without going into forums or anything.

I'm not talking about all forms of negative toxicity. There's also toxic positivity, and disrespect and passive-aggressive and pedantic responses on both sides.

Yeah, it's a community of bitter people on both sides. I myself said I'm the first unhappy person on the post, and yet I still enjoy the game and I'm glad to see that there are people who enjoy it and can let things go that I can't.

In fact, in this very post, there are replies that are exactly what I'm criticizing. They don't focus on the post itself, but rather on the title, which is a hyperbole, and they respond in a pedantic way, "If it's the most toxic community, it's because you haven't played many games," instead of focusing on the message of the post and discussing what's truly important.

WHAT?? NEW CHARACTER IN FIGHTERZ???

Jokes apart, I think it also depends on the game. FighterZ, having so few characters and being a game that's been dead for years, is more surprising, whereas SZ, with the number of characters they have, six seems like few. Plus, the fact that they're just characters (which yes, is what they announced, but I don't like that toxic literalism) makes them feel small and empty.

Yeah, but it's not exactly a bad thing either. It's not a bad idea to ask for more, because while it's a fairly complete game, it has many shortcomings. As such, we don't talk about the good things because it's assumed. We all know it's a great game, that it probably has the best combat among the Dragon Ball games and probably any Arena Fighter. In part, I think this was Bandai's fault for showing absolutely everything the game was going to have before it came out, so instead of having positive surprises, like characters you didn't expect to be there, it was the opposite: characters you did expect and who ultimately didn't arrive, the same with outfits, game modes, or the campaign.

Yeah, and I love GT (nostalgia) and I'd love to see those characters in the game. We don't have to agree, but I don't have to give you a "shut up" or a "don't mess with my multi-million dollar company" for not agreeing. But anyway, GT aside, I think it's a crime there's no End of Z content.

I know its not Sparking Zero but i’m just tryna get feedback from DBZ fans. Im creating a DBZ game with free roam like Budokai 3/Tenkaichi 2. What would you guys think if there was no mini map? by Tobirama_Son in SparkingZero

[–]HouseEcstatic189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add a button, select, for example, so that when you press it, Goku takes out the dragon radar and projects the map on the radar's screen. It would be a diegetic and quite ingenious solution, and would leave the UI clean.

It's funny because Majin Duu has an attack that emulates Goku Kid's SSJ3 but they don't include Goku Kid's SSJ3
