Yeah I love that too. Honestly really happy with how original DB is handled here, seeing people like Eighter show up again is nice when they could have easily axed all of that.

Eighter,nam, launch etc and you get a few sidequests with them so it's great .
also I completely forgot the launch and tien thing was well a thing lol
yeah so did i, haha
man dragon ball was so good. i love Z, but dragon ball is so fun and colourful and every character has so much charm
There are many nods to Dragon Ball, more than I thought there would, you can visit Yamcha's home!
I'm just guessing they didn't want/have time to animate Tao's fighting skills, and he was in DBZ too (filler episodes while waiting the Cell's Tournament).
Nah this pays way more homage to DB. Tons of items from DB that are accompanied by a summary of various events from the series. And the character arcs for DB characters can be fun, and some have multiple parts.
I just realized you can surprise attack the random enemies by boosting up behind them in the overworld and it plays a little cut scene going into the encounter. Super cool
edit: I can't seem to replicate it.. Not sure what triggers it.

I meant more kind of playing through it all. When I first saw DBZ on TV it was very confusing because there's just this roster of unknown characters and aliens doing magical stuff and it was never really explained at all how they got to this point until you read/watch early DB. This being the story of Goku it feels like they started at Z because the open world design means flying around was a necessity.
Amazing that even 10 hours in and vertical flying still causes me to pause at times. lol They really need a re-mapping features.
Full of flaws, but absolutely loving playing through the series I grew up with <3

So am I wrong or is there basically no need to bother with random battles?
From what I've done, playing the story like normal just gives everyone the EXP they need even for characters that leave and come back. Meanwhile trash mobs give peanuts EXP.
Kind of an odd design choice. Despite that though, I dont feel the game is all that easy, couple fights in the Namek Saga kicked my ass.

I ended up buying this over the weekend and played a bunch with my son during a lazy Sunday afternoon.
It really is a lot of fun in general, with plenty of flaws. However, I feel like most of the flaws
are absolutely forgivable stuff and they nail most of the really important stuff. Very impressive work by CC2 IMO.
The fan service and extra stories and dialogue are great so far. I think the interaction between Kami and King Yenma during that 'quiz' has
been one of my favorites so far. lol

Tutorial says if you boost into them while the arrow is blue it'll trigger. Haven't experienced it yet, maybe you have to be quite a few levels above them?
So, uh...is there a way to heal up your HP without using consumable items? Like are there inns and stuff? I'm in the first area as Piccolo after Raditz and I took some cheap shots from some Skull Robos.
Also, is there a way to replay old boss fights for a better rank? I only A-Ranked the final Raditz and I want to redo it.

Go to a camp fire to heal. Use the Dragon Balls to redo fights.
Oh yeah, just ran into that Surprise Attack mechanic from the open world. Played a cutscene and I got some hits via cutscene on a group of Saibamen. That was actually pretty awesome. So I guess if you're undetected when you boost into enemies you get a surprise attack if you're within level range of them but if you completely outlevel them they just die in slow motion and you keep flying.
I finally made it to Namek and got to the Ginyu Force fight and holy shit that Goku vs Recoome cutscene was amazing. I'm glad they aren't being so strict with copying the anime and manga 1 for 1 and mixing it up some.
If you really want to you can use steam controller configuration on the kakarot page in your library. But this will change the button for every action in the game.
I was slightly disappointed with that as well, but that scene is nowhere near as famous in Japan as it is in the West.
It was never turned into a meme in Japan.
I can't quite place why I am having so much fun with this game. Side quest characters sometimes float off screen in a hilarious manner. Quest markers disappear... frequently. I ran into a bug where characters were cloning themselves. NPC's text boxes glitch so you can't read them sometimes. It's all pretty jank.
...but I am fucking enjoying myself. It's bizzare.
Flying around through colored rings like superman64 should be - on paper- a bad thing. But exploring and blowing up small mountains and trees feels so cool in this game... It is just the right amount of "gamey" feeling and just the right amount immersion.
Oh and knocking people through mountains never gets old.

I am not facing these floating npc bugs on ps4 pro at all. Are these pc specific?
Also I couldn't complete that Piccolo Yajirobe quest. I had to collect 6 deer but even after collecting like 20 deers the counter stoll said 0/6. So I skipped the quest. Anyone else had same issue?

My "floating character" bug was on PC. It happened so consistently I thought about asking about it here.
I'm on PC yes. I also turned vssync off which, I imagine, is the culprit.
Is this PC too?They suuure do float offscreen, lol. I witnessed Krillin, Tien, and Yamcha just slide away in one stretch of quests, culminating with this wonderful cutscene:
Edit saw above. Yup. Seems to be PC only? Like I said... Sometimes messing with vsync options can cause weird physics issues. Not sure if that is exactly the case here as I haven't done thorough testing.
PC, Vsync on.
They just kinda.. slowly slide off the face of the Earth.
In Nvidia or in game? I'm using Nvidia vsync because the one in game on is garbo. Hmmm strange.
I had this happen to me too with them. On PC.They suuure do float offscreen, lol. I witnessed Krillin, Tien, and Yamcha just slide away in one stretch of quests, culminating with this wonderful cutscene:
Wow yeah that's weird. I wonder if any xbawks guys are having this issue?
It's hilarious tho XD
So should I be rushing to get to the Saiyan fights? The sidequest density feels really light thus far and I'm not sure if the game opens up a lot later or what.
I am loving the shit out if this game. Lots of charm with the writing, love just flying around. Wanted a dbz game like this my whole life.
i've just been doing all of the side quests available and then moving to the next main mission and it took me about 10 hours to get to namek
i wouldn't worry about the length or anything or trying to grind out collectables. just do what you wanna do, there's a lot of content to come
It would have been awesome if you started as young Goku walking/running around and then 20 or so hours into the game you finally get nimbus. It could have been the 'Getting an Airship in Final Fantasy' moment of this game. And then maybe 60 or so hours into it, Instant Transmission becomes your fast travel system. It upsets me because I can fully picture this action/adventure rpg, and the publisher keeps coming so close to that dream Dragonball game people want, but they just aren't there yet. This game is a big step in the right direction though.
If you're on steam just launch in big picture mode and then rebind the keys.
I'm on XB1 and haven't seen that sliding NPC thing at all, lol.
Shout out to whoever mentioned earlier there's a bunch of tutorials hidden in menus they only show up when you're fighting. super weird, but actually helpful.
Main thing I didn't realize was that there's 4 different melee finishers while I've been hammering on one button the whole time. One is a burst that gets you Ki, and for Vegeta the other two are a rapid ki blast and the rapid kick move.

A bit under 40hrs. Now i'm leveling to 250 and do all all the post game sidequests, red glowing enemies, and fill the encyclopedia 100%. Wonder how many more hours that will take.
I really like how each "boss" feels like it has its own identity here. Like this has gotta be the best rendition of Guldo's fighting I've seen in a game.
Oh, well damn. Still, I don't think I would've looked there either way since I didn't think the game would have had tutorials for things it didn't show.

Yea I just figured out this myself. I was playing Goku and hit triangle as a combo ender and was like "O.o"
I feel the same. It feels like a real Dragon Ball fight. When I fought Vegeta and won with little health left and it transitioned to the cutscene of them struggling against each other, I felt that struggle.
I think it's the high speed, simple inputs, and just enough emphasis on teleporting, blocking, and telegraphing dodges and attacks so that it doesn't feel like button mashing.
It's more than the sum of its parts for sure. Definitely way more fun that I had with the Xenoverse games.
