" I want to get stuff wrong about the series too.  So as it turns out, Bulma was the daughter of the boss of the Red Ribbon army and that old guy was really Piccolo's older brother who came back to get revenge after Goku killed the original Piccolo and the old dude had a higher level of transformation than his brother.  That dude with the red hair was really Goku's real dad who got separated from him when Goku was taken aboard an alien spacecraft and implanted with that tail so that whenever there was no moon in the sky, he would turn into a Super Sayan.  The guy with the blue hair was really Roshi's son who is also the dad of Yamcha, and Roshi eventually gives Yamcha (his grandson) all those scars because he killed his dad (Roshi's son).  Then, Tien transformed all the animal-men in the world into one being, which he named Chautsu, the one who eventually sacrifices himself so Goku could learn the Spirit Bomb.  I feel better now.

Man this game is bad, my 10 year old cousin wouldn't even play this shit. I mean fuck he's already playing warcraft 3, why the hell do developers think kids don't deserve a little effort put in to games aimed at them?  Its like modern cartoons, they're all fucking garbage full of immature unintelligent nonsense.

The Tenkaichi series is pretty good as well as Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm and Naruto: The Broken Bond.  But the rest pretty much suck, mainly the beat 'em ups, pretty much suck.

Surprised no one pointed it out yet.  "
Or it could be a Persona 3 reference, or it could be a reference to any other game that has a reaper that will attack before you can obtain an item.

I used to love this show like 12 years ago.  I wish I had an older brother or something who could have kicked my ass out of it.

I'm developing a well-founded hatred of constant, invasive tutorials breaking up action in games.

Ultimate Ninja Storm is terrible. It looks really nice, but that's about it. As for Broken Bond, that's the first game that got me into fighting games.

@RabidSquirrel89: Ah, that's probably it.  I played a little bit of the demo and it was pretty mashy, but it looks incredible and that's how anime-based games should look like.

It's also really hard to make any sort of effort to play a really terrible and boring game like this one.

I have notice that in other OLs. But the only time when they don't play as terrible, is when it's a game they played before the OL, like Uncharted 2. 
 
Also, I don't like it that the staff write off a game as not good after just playing a level or two. Though judging by the past experiences from other DB games, I don't really have high hopes for this game.

Well, that's true. Hopefully he'll mention it on the podcast, if he booted up new game+ or not.

I think this game looks pretty bland just going by the QL, the combat didn't seem too exciting.. but who knows it might turn out Ok.

The Nintendo Wii is the perfect console for everybody, but modern day gamers.

They should definitely do more random Wii quick looks, there's probably a lot of hilarity to be had in all the shovelware.

Wow, this game looks pretty bad. But it does remind me of my puberty when I learned to turn my hair blond at will and my tail was chopped off.

well that a bit of BS in my opinion, Budukai three was the best DBZ game i have ever played, It was good, The graphics were good, The gameplay was good with different move sets and different combos, Transformations, the different stories were really good, world map was alright, giving you different objectives. and the one thing I really liked about it, When you fight the start dialouge changes depending on who you fight against, Wicked.  
 
I thought burst limit was going to be alright, I was wrong, I wish they had just followed down the road of Budukai,  Tenkaiichi was shit.

That tournament mode is like the inverse of Tekken Force from Tekken 3, but at least that was a shitty beat-em-up wrapped in a decent fighting game. This is just a shitty fighting game wrapped in a shitty beat-em-up.
