GameZone's Robert Workman states "Had Namco Bandai wrapped the Dragon Ball Z franchise around a strong fighting engine, like the one used with the upcoming Street Fighter x Tekken, we’d really be getting somewhere. Alas, that just didn’t happen with Ultimate Tenkaichi, and, as a result, only a certain few fans will find it to their liking."
Neil writes "The latest Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Publisher sale for 21st-27th October 2014 is now live....Dragon Ball or racing fan? You'll enjoy this week!"
Yay more garbage games with gold,nice try ms but your me to attitude is pissing me off tbh i wish they would either give games worth playing that arnt 360 launch game/crap arcade games or just scrap the whole thing.
What pisses me off the most is there so deluded thay think there offering value,crimson dragon is this months free game on x1 &last months & the month b4 that.
Sony so wins in this department,im no fanboy i like both systems but ms just hates to give anything slightly worth while away for free....soooo here have the same shit game for the last 3 months ......bbbbbb but its free.....shove it i say.
Kinda agree, i got my X1 last week and i'am in two minds about getting XBG for it, as i am not a big online player anyway, there is nothing pushing me to splash £26 on getting it.
Don't bother with XBG if you don't play online anyway. Not worth it, especially for the Games for Gold deals, which, aren't always that great.
This is game deals with gold.. Not the same as free games they give away.
You pay for the online service anyway - not for free games.
Sony should take note when it comes to investing money in the online structure
I agree xbl is better than psn for me,but deals/games with gold is nothing but ms say me to.....theres no comparision compared to sony offerings.
Why arnt the same games free on both???.....coz ms never away cool stuff,anything ms are giving for free means they think its garbage to imo.
Maybe before complaining you should realize what your complaining about. This has nothing to do with the 2 free games they give away each month that compares to Sonys PS+ this is just the new weekly discounts on add-ons and games
Thats why i wrote deals/games with gold after,ok my bad on the first post,but my opinions still the same,hence the reason my 360 is now collecting dust
you know though there are still great past and present games for the 360 with or without the deals with gold.
I find most of the deals with gold either don't interest me or I have already played them. But, I have a ton in MS points waiting for things like Halo on the XB1 etc so maybe that's a good thing that I don't spend it yet
Yes, the offers are on old games, but they sure are good.
5$ for Burnout Paradise is a really good deal if you havent played it before.
And I'll be buying that Zombie Driver Ultimate Edition with a 50% discount. That + free BFBC2, Darksiders 2 and Chariot makes this month a pretty good one for me.
Especially since I have both the X1 and the 360.
Lol people are so quick to bash the xbox brand that they don't even read the article
Ot: these deals are good not my favorite games though

"The Dragon Ball franchise is in a weird state.
As noted in my review on Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z, there’s something about the franchise that has been able to maintain its rather overwhelmingly large and dedicated fanbase for decades since its debut back in 1984. And yet, the games have always had a hard time of capturing the core of the franchise, of making what could be called the quintessential must-have, be-all, end-all Dragon Ball game, though many have captured a part of it. But there’s just something so epic, so grand in scope, that’s hard to dissect and contain in one disc, cartridge, cassette and on. At least, so far.
So how do you make the a better Dragon Ball game? What kind of steps can be taken to revive the franchise, to invigorate it, as if resurrected by the dragon balls of game development? And how can future games bring something new to the table?"
Agreed. This is exactly what we need. From the beginning of the series all the way to Bills.
^Agree, just give me everything until Buu and I'm happy. I'd love to search for dragonballs & develop new techniques in a DBZ open world action adventure. I don't understand why 90% of the DBZ games are fighting games ...
I'm not a fan of Bills, but a large portion of the DBZ fan base is. So, I would include it.
@MightyNoX:
GT was never canon to begin with, the mangas ended with Z and Akira Toriyama wasn't involved in its production.
Something new? hmm..... what about quitting and stop the god damn milking? nowadays these DBZ games are all the same minus one or two characters. Just let it go..let Goku rest in peace.
That's exactly why I'm a proponent for moving onto a new story or an alternate verse. The world had some interesting ideas, but the formula became the same, and that was inherited by the games. Time to switch things up.
@zod18
GRRRRR... an open world RPG would be AMAZING!!! Lets make this happen, someone draw up a petition!
Agreed. It needs to be an RPG with a refined combat system and capture the story telling, characters, and atmosphere of the anime.
I think people are tired of following the same story over and over, not that the DBZ story isn't fantastic, but the universe is massive. There is so much opportunity for completely new story lines with new characters, as well as branches of little known characters. Do what Avatar did with Korra and branch out, completely write over GT if need be (I don't think many would complain. A lot of us don't consider it to be cannon and care little about it).
Stop giving us rehashed arcade fighters. I don't think there's much more than Budokai 3 or Tenkaichi Budokai 3 that you can offer us in that genre.
I want a DBZ game with every DBZ character and gameplay like dbz budokai tenkaichi 3 with graphics like dbz ultimate tenkaichi or better!
I just want a new budokai/burst limit game with all the characters, and gameplay from budokai 3. Characters in tenkaichi all had the same moves.
Yes, how many times are gamers going to relive the Freiza saga. Time to move on, that story is told the exact same way every time.
We need a completely new story or saga that is exclusive to consoles, with all new villains for Goku and his friends to fight.
And alternate storyline would be really nice to be honest. DBZ/DBGT are pretty old and the stories are tired. Going the Full Metal:Brotherhood route would be nice and would help the entire franchise out.
That's exactly what I meant with the reference to Tenchi Muyo. For better or worse, that series got to try different scenarios out while staying somewhat true to most of the characters personalities.
Smash Brothers Style With DBZ Characters.
After doing 40% damage character can do a KAI attack.
Kai Attacks can push players off maps ect
A K/O Punch off map would be @ 300% Dmg
Characters feel heavier when not flying
they can fly but getting knocked off map is easier
something like that.
Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Tenkaichi is an anime fighting/action video game by Namco Bandai Games based on the anime series Dragon Ball Z. Development was by Spike. It was released on October 28, 2011.
Wish they'd do something worthwhile with that graphics engine
Aww, I didn't think this was that bad when I previewed the game not too long ago. I guess the final product was lacking.
yeah the graphics are crap!
Would be nice to get a good DBZ game.
They could do so much with the DBZ franchise if they just opened up their imagination a little.
This gen just seems like a cash grab for DBZ games.
Not sure why everyone is still making old styled fighting games, they should be so much better by now...
