CCC Says: "For years I have waited for a Dragon Ball Z game that could capture the essence of the series. A game that could bottle the sheer power, grit and fighting that spans several planets, dimensions, and times; a worthy game for a great anime series beloved the world over. Sadly, it looks like I’m going to have to keep waiting, because Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z is not that game."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "In 2017 I wrote a series of articles looking at all of the Vita games released by a number of different publishers, but at the time I was already thinking about how interesting it would be to examine the output of individual developers. Sony’s handheld may not have been a sales success in itself, but certain studios managed to make a living by creating titles for it that targeted the right audiences. None demonstrate this better than Artdink, the quirky Japanese company that has increasingly branched out into anime development in recent years."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "While fully-fledged fighting games on handhelds have achieved varying levels of success in the past, they weren’t really a thing until the PSP. Prior to this there would always be certain concessions to get them running on weaker hardware. Sony’s powerful portable console, however, allowed developers to experiment with new ways of delivering their titles that would sometimes be hugely successful (e.g. Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection), which in turn meant new games were forthcoming throughout the console’s life. This mantra continued onto the Vita, which received ports of a number of high-profile fighting games, from launch through to the present day.
The ever-expanding industry of eSports has somewhat put a damper on handheld fighting games, as the fanbase moves increasingly towards arcade sticks, perfect latency, and other measures that always ensure a fair fight. That doesn’t mean the Vita doesn’t have access to its fair share of fighting games, though – whether you like 3D arena brawlers, party-friendly multiplayer titles, or pixel-perfect technical 2D fighters, you’re well served by the selection that’s available here, especially when including backwards-compatible PSP & PS1 games."
GearNuke: "PlayStation Store in US has a massive sale this week introducing popular Japanese games like Metal Gear Solid, Demon's Souls, Resident Evil and much more."
Do you get anything good out of the sales they have on JP/EU store?
@Eidolon:
No; but Remember when PSN was down for a few months and we got free games? Well; I got all the games for free :P
I think it is more beneficial for Europeans to get US than vice-versa because we get more sales!
Everyone on the EU blog asks all the time, but it doesnt seem likely. You can set up a US account on PS4 & PS3 though and play them on your UK account. If you need credit i'd recommend Target as they accept a straight convert in prices through paypal
As for the PSP/Vita games though you're screwed because account switching is a pain in the arse
amazon.com is good too.. you just need to change the address of your credit card with a fake US one in the card details.
Considering Pier Solar...
Also, why is it more expensive to by Zone of the Enders together than separately?
Yeah, I might jump into Pier Solar for that price. Also, been meaning to replay Demon's Souls for a while now.
Dunno about Zone of The Enders, that's just dumb XD
I said the same thing, it's $12 buying them separate cheaper them buying them together in a collection so stupid. You can get the physical for $13 and even less.
People who give these low scores really don't know how to play the game or what it's about...
It's not a traditional "DBZ" game. It's like comparing a racing game to a "Smash bros" game, because they have the same characters...
You probably only played 1 mission... idiot.
I honestly do not think anyone can make a good DBZ game worthy of the 8 and above score. Last one i seen that got great scores was budokai 3 on ps2. Any others just get the "meh"
I bought this game for the vita and so far im enjoying it, the gameplay may seem too simplistic at first but it does have depth to it. Id still rather have a budokai 4/ burst limit 2 like game, but battle of z does feel fresh and innovative to me.
I downloaded it on my vita, but haven't played it once yet. I got sucked back into Persona 4 lol...and now I want to platinum it before i move to dbz:P
can't wait:D
