I know, right?
That actually is a decent look for Goku.
I would drop the giant scroll though....

Sharingan_no_Kakashi4250d ago

Oh come on. They had Naruto in Goku's uniform in NUNS3

FullMetalTech4250d ago (Edited 4250d ago )

Wow. Nice could it be a Fusion with Naruto? That would be cool to see then fused.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Please stop, Dragon Ball is way too good to be compared to the Naruto thingy

After you take off your fanboy glasses, you'll come to realize that the DBZ story isn't that great in the first place. It's just basically a villain appears, get beat, grow strong, find dragon balls, beat villain, make wish. Their characters for the most part were all one dimensional, their only growth was their power levels. The only people who really changed significantly throughout the series was Vegeta. Goku at the end was the exact same Goku at the start of the series as was pretty much everyone else.

Then you get to the Dragonballs themselves, I never questioned it while watching as a kid but as I got older I began to realize that unnatural deaths mean very little in that world since they could just be wished back (even more so with the new dragonballs) I remember seeing Krillin die and thought it was such an emotional scene only for him to be wished back which really defeated it. Compare that to the deaths in Naruto they're much more heart breaking because you know they can never come back (or at least not truly alive). Just go Youtube the deaths in Naruto and see for yourself. I was going to list them but that would be spoilers.

When it comes down to it, Naruto's storyline may not be perfect, but it's not much more richer and engaging than watching Goku take 10 episodes to power up just to get his ass kicked then watch another 10 episodes for him to get his sh*t together and finally beat whoever he's fighting.

Lastly, please don't reply with "Well Goku is stronger" I know that, Goku being able to destroy the entire universe with a finger doesn't make it a good storyline, honestly, it's just stupid, once you have characters who can blow up planets and still survive, it just cheapens it as a whole. It's why I got bored of DBZ in the first place, everyone basically was a god and Super Saiyans who were supposed to be rare were just a child's technique.

man, I raised with Dragon Ball, I don't care about the deaths, as when they revived made me happy, but about the limitless power, if you work hard, about friendship, about caring about others, I mean, the message were others, not the sadness of deaths, but the happiness that come with hard work. It was awesome when Vegeta sacrificed for example, such a guy ended understanding these feelings, and much more. That said, it was Dragon Ball that mainly showed me these. So Naruto had no message to tell for me once I tried + didn't like it, is there a problem?
I would never say that Goku is stronger than Naruto for an argument, just for believing he is the strongest character ever in an anime after following the story so joyfully, but just as a nostalgic feeling.
And for me, the 5 minutes in 5 episodes style is funny indeed, but I prefer that over Naruto, again, as a choice, as I can like one more than another.
Please, lemme wear my fanboy glasses, because the stronger an opinion you have, the harder it is to be beaten. And I don't want to have my nostalgia to be beaten lol.

Lionsguard4250d ago

I take it you never watched it far enough into Shippuden? I admit I hated Naruto at first and it took me 50 something episodes into Naruto to finally like it but Shippuden is where the action really starts. I tend to believe that a lot of the animosity people have towards Naruto or other anime similar to it is due to their childhood fascination with DBZ as I once had as well. It took me a long time and a lot of forced watching but it does feel good to break free from the bounds of DBZ, just saying.

DeathScythe4250d ago

At first i wasn't going to pick this game up at launch but after seeing goku with the sage outfit I might change my mind, I mean just look at him he wears this outfit better than naruto. Lol

Lionsguard4250d ago

I'm really hoping Goku has Naruto's techniques to combine it with his own. Can you imagine Mass Shadow Clone Technique + Kamehameha? Or how about being able to summon Shenron? I'd love to see Goku make a wind rasen shuriken as big as a spirit bomb. The possibilities of a Naruto based Goku would be amazing.

A Look Back at Artdink's Games for PlayStation Vita

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."

A Look at All of the Fighting Games Available on Vita

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."

Why can't they do this for the UK as well.

franwex3662d ago

Make an American PSN; I have an European and Japanese one!

Eidolon3661d ago (Edited 3661d ago )

Do you get anything good out of the sales they have on JP/EU store?

franwex3661d ago (Edited 3661d ago )

@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!

Blastoise3662d ago (Edited 3662d ago )

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

Caffo013662d ago

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.

franwex3662d ago

Considering Pier Solar...

Also, why is it more expensive to by Zone of the Enders together than separately?

PygmelionHunter3662d ago

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

Xof3662d ago

Fair warning: Pier Solar really isn't very good.

Blank3662d ago

Not even six bucks good?? I spent more for crappier games, ill bite anywho though.

Xof3662d ago

Not even $6 bucks good.

Especially when, come on, Suikoden II is on sale too.

franwex3661d ago

I got Suikoden II instead! Thanks for the heads up!

blackblades3662d ago (Edited 3662d ago )

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.

jonboi243662d ago

AAAAAAANNNIMMMMEEEEEE!!!!!
