r/kakarot

Not sure how the whole community feels about it so I'm okey with getting some hate. But man, I'm disappointed. I know so many little details about DBZ that this game just forgets. For either time restrains, budget, or not wanting to bloat the experience(which is honestly a stupid excuse given the amount of story DLC the game has gotten over the years).

- Goku not fighting Raditz on only his orange attire to get every little advantage he can get against an enemy he knows he may not be able to beat.

- Not letting us explore the Snake way, something that Legacy of Goku 1 and Infinite World did!

- Barely showing the training everyone did to fight Vegeta and Nappa. Only focusing in Gohan.

- The fight of Frieza against Neil. To show how Frieza fights before the actual fight.

- I can let them pass not letting us fight 1st form Frieza with Vegeta since they only power struggled a little in the show. But if there was a game to show us more, it was this one.

- Not showing Gohan's rage against either 2nd or 3rd form Frieza.

- Not showing the transformations themselves. They appear of thin air besides the 2nd form.

- Not showing us literally nothing about the Yardrat planet or how Goku ended up there.

- Not showing 17 destroying Trunks' sword.

- Not showing the FINAL FUCKING FLASH!!!!

- Not showing how Perfect Cell defeated Vegeta.

- Skipping Trunks' transformation AND BATTLE...

And I'm going to stop here because I still haven't finished the game. But from what I've heard it just gets worse from here.

Kakarot is not the definitive way to experience the DBZ story as I've heard. It is a half-hearted and half-assed experience that I really don't know what it wants to be. The gameplay is flashy, but shallow. The exploration is fun but mindless and stupidly unrewarding. Some cutscenes get a lot of love while others you have the characters just standing there watching eachothers. It has the iconic soundttack and some mini games no one asked for but that's it.

I feel like Budokai Tenkaichi 2, Legacy of Goku 2 and 3 and Infinite World had more love for the story. And in implementing at least some sort of mechanic into those little details that couldn't make it into the main gameplay.

I wanted so bad for this game to be a Legacy of Goku 4 game. But it's not and I only blame me myself for thinking that. It pales in comparison to those games in charm, unique music and interesting ways of filling the gaps between stories.

Recently jumped back into the game, anyone know of any videos or guides to maximizes the best set up for the community board with all dlc.

Is it true that CyberConnect 2 really finished supporting with Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot for expanding more Dragon Ball storylines (OG Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z movies, and Dragon Ball GT) as DLC in the future or they going to make a sequel for Kakarot to focus on Dragon Ball Super next year in 2027? I want to hear your thoughts and opinions about this topic.

I've been feeling nostalgic for dbz lately and have been playing dbz buus fury on an emulator and while it's great, I've been itching to play it a game like dbz sagas (a game I really enjoyed as a kid. From what ive seen so far, kakarot fits the bill well. I'm still getting used to the combat mechanics of kakarot but I feel progression is kinda slow and I really just wanna relive the story without having to grind through side quests and stuff to strengthen my characters.

Are there any exploits or other things I can use to progress quicker? I just want to play offline.

Thanks

My friend bought the base game, if i buy the dlc while on his steam family will i be able to play them? Or does he need to buy it?
