Was it the open world? Nostalgia? Freedom? Cool skills? The ability to be in teams or be solo?
Just curious to what others have to say. For some reason I still believe this was the best MMO I've played.
This is will be the first time I've posted...
What made it so fun? Well, as I have only just discovered that this game ever existed, I am experiencing it for the first time. Here's a fresh perspective.
First and foremost, its the character creation. Much like Xenoverse, I wish it were a bit deeper (more faces, hair etc etc), but ultimately, you get to create a new and unique to your design character within the Dragon Ball universe. That's bad ass on its own.
Open world? YES! I remember when DBZ Sagas came out on the game cube. That was the first open world(ish) experience I had with dragon ball outside of the Famicom/NES game. Being able to visit places that look familiar is pretty cool. I wish things were a bit more expansive, but with flying not being able to be had until level 30, that would be a pain.
Nostalgia? Of course. Now, I haven't fought anyone iconic outside of story mode stuff. I'm only level 33/35/33/7 - so I haven't gotten far yet. Still, the art style really kicked in early on when I saw the first dinosaur. I was grinning pretty big.
Groups and solo? Well, I tend to be a more solo player- Its cool that you can group up but I've been screwed over twice by random people grouping up with me so I won't be doing that again. Still, the option to go at it alone is nice.
I hope to one day experience more of what this game has to offer. Went dragon ball hunting tonight and got ready before hand, bought food/drink, cleared my bags space, positioned myself in a place with mobs at my level... then got online before it started and at 5 till, the event started. I grinded and killed hundreds upon hundreds of mobs... and hours and hours later... ZERO dragon balls dropped. Very disheartening. Still though, I hope to see the later levels and areas.
So what makes the game fun? Well, quite honestly, its Dragon Ball... that is enough for me.
