Just wondering because this is genuinely one of the most detailed games (in terms of how packed it is with content) that I've played in a very long time, whether that involves the story itself and all the various what-if scenarios within each character's path, the fact that the encyclopedia entails an hour of girltalk between Chi-Chi, Bulma and Videl (can't find the Japanese audio version), the fact that characters like Goku Black and Baby Vegeta have special interactions if you pick them in a match, I'm just having a lot of fun.
It already has an all-time peak of over 90,000 players on Steam, and this is still early access. The game doesn't even release for the people who bought the base game/are buying it later until 6pm EST tonight, so I can't imagine the concurrent players for the next few weeks.
Akira Toriyama's legacy will live on until the day life no longer exists.
Coming back now from actually playing it for a while I can say that anyone who can't beat Ape Vegeta, or has to lower the difficulty, is a pussy ass bitch and needs to gtfo my community.
Its the Malenia situation all over again, where a boss puts up some difficulty that needs a different mindset to beat is suddenly "the hardest thing evar omg" and gets all the fucking journos writing articles about it.
Also the popularity of it and the fact that all those articles are coming out means we can expect a lot of Woke shitters to now pretend to be part of the "DBZ fandom" and complain about shit for the next year.
Ape vegeta always feels bad in a game, it's the first difficulty spike because they don't get stunned the same way.
I did have to git gud, because I don't play many fighters (anymore), but I loved the tenkaichi games when I was a kid.
Its just because he has permanent Super Armor. He only stands out because I think he is the only one you are required to fight in most of the main stories.
Broly in Tenkaichi 2 (I think it was 2) was the same issue, where the only reliable way to beat him was to catch him in a permanent XXY stun combo because he lacked any of the weaknesses of the Apes.
Though this game has a major issue that I think is the big cause, which is fights just start without any fanfare or countdown and you can be fucking smacked before you even realize its started, which in this fight can be a huge chunk of health.
