So I tried playing DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT In 2023...

Following the next-gen update and new Bardock expansion, I felt it was time to return to one of the most authentic Dragon Ball games made. For its lack of depth, Kakarot made up for it in presentation and fan service. Can lightning strike twice three years later? I dig in and find out.

I just redownloaded this game after hearing about the passing of toriyama and plan to finish this game with the dlc. rest in peace to one of the most amazing storytellers ever.

First of all, Dragon Ball and Z had incredible animation for it’s time. DB is an 80s anime. One Piece didn’t come until MUCH later, and it still didn’t have that great of animation. Bleach has the best animation out of the “big three” Shonen anime from the 2000’s. I don’t wanna be that guy but you’re way off the mark in terms of animation so we gotta put some repec on the name and the artists.. DBZ had episodes being churned out every week consistently for years, in the 80s, classic hand-drawn cell animation, it’s among the best for it’s time and still holds up today.

I feel like you need to go back and watch dbz again. The Saiyan saga may have looked meh but afterwards the animation was amazing. I have no idea where you got the idea that “you have to use your imagination for a lot of the fights.” That is just false. Especially in the buu saga with yuya takahashi’s animation. Chef’s kiss. Much better than even dbs broly imo

This is slowly becoming one of my favorite channels. Love the content

For my entire life I have not been an anime fan (not saying that I am now) buuuut after playing this game and FighterZ, I started getting into the DB franchise and I love it. Also played Xenoverse 2 and got the dlcs. I’m addicted. It’s weird how a game like this is made for the fans but it’s what made me a fan

I wish they had done an actual open world where you could fly to each area.
That would've been the most significant improvement I would've made.

[AnotherSWnerd]

Loved kakarot. Truly one the best dbz games out there. The impact of your blows, the power ups and the method of training is phenomenal

[Steel-]

In my opinion the best DBZ game is Tenkaichi 3 PS2 but Kakarot is the 2nd best. It’s so much fun to explore all of the original locations of the Dragon Ball world. Plus the Bardock & Trunks DLC is 100% amazing. Also the best thing in the game is the cooking. I never get tired of seeing Goku and other characters just destroy the dinner table lol 😂

Bet no-one knew this.
Open Kakarot on PS4 or PS4 Pro.
On the main menu, Open Dragon Card Warriors.
Exit Card Warriors to the main Kakarot Menu.
Start or load a game, You now have enabled TAA Anti Aliasing on the Main game.
No more flickering on buildings/fishing docks and assets, character models.

Dragon Ball is an 80's anime and ended 3 years before the One Piece anime started... so I'd say it's pretty good for its time lol.

Kakarot actually got me back into dbz heavy

[Darule]

I would to see as the next DLC young Goku against Red Ribbon army and when he enters the World Tournament

[thanksgivingh]

I love that they keep giving this game support.

[ximon]

Imagine an OG Dragon Ball game. Since the series was more grounded back then you could make it kinda like an Arkham style game with the combat, exploration, and different missions

[MasterofLightning]

It's a cool game. There's not a lot of interesting material in the open world, but flying around is cool. They have orbs everywhere and collecting them is addicting.

[SolidSnake]

I love this game I just wish there were better sidequests and that the combat system was deeper. Its basically just a slightly diff version of Xenoverse's combat system which i didnt really care for either. Almost the perfect dbz game imo.

[TheArtKingdomYT]

10:18 DBZ ended in 1996, and One Piece started in 1999 it makes absolutely no sense to compare the animation of the two. Other than that great video!

[kurtisgarner]

Dbz Kakarot is the best modern dbz game imo. Ive been playing alot of Xenoverse2 recently but I always find my way back to kakarot.

[TManMusicPage]

You have to remember DBZ first aired in Japan in like 1988-1989 and OG DB is like 4-5 years older than that come 2030 those shows will be nearly half a century old

[ghost-carnage]

Dbz kakarot is literally such an amazing game, the combat is a little bland, but that's OK. I hope they keep these graphics for future games.
