Fans of Dragon Ball are hyped for the newest game, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, which recently had an early access release! But, some players have a big complaint. The game is ridiculously hard!
A Tough Game:
The Dragon Ball series is known for awesome fights, but Sparking! Zero might be a bit too difficult for some gamers. While older games like Budokai Tenkaichi were challenging but fair, this one's causing a stir! Reddit users have voiced some major concerns, and they're saying some battles feel nearly impossible to win. A huge complaint is about fighting Great Ape Vegeta. Players say this opponent is super powerful. It unleashes powerful attacks like the Galick Gun seemingly forever!
Community Outcry:
Many gamers say certain parts of the game's story mode are incredibly hard! Some people even called it "borderline impossible!" Why? Well, these enemies have ridiculously strong attacks. What makes it almost impossible to overcome is that the AI attacks with crazy-fast Combos, meaning if you don't have lightning fast reactions it is pretty tough.
The community feels strongly that the game developer, Spike Chunsoft needs to release a balance patch quickly. While only some people have access to Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero right now, this difficulty is reported widely. It might be just that newer players struggle, but some Budokai Tenkaichi vets are also saying things are too hard. Some people suggested just going back to the tutorials.
The Learning Curve:
Some believe new players just need more practice. Joshua Fox from Screen Rant talked about this issue too! He states that this game has a very real "learning curve." He believes that success is going to happen when players get a deeper understanding about the more advanced battle moves. However, there's still some potential, as well. Screen Rant even states that a difficulty adjustment could happen in the near future and that might help!
The Need For A Patch:
Even though a new difficulty patch may help! It seems likely that a lot of issues were experienced. This has many experts and those in the know feeling very strongly! For anyone in the know, a difficulty adjustment for the AI seems to be quite critical. Some game specialists want the developers, Spike Chunsoft, to do this adjustment and tune down some of the crazy damage output! But most feel that fixing the Great Ape Vegeta fight is absolutely essential! Players really want this one fight fixed. There are far too many gamers calling for a solution for a far more balanced fight.
Looking Ahead:
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is causing excitement, though a tough difficulty will be something Spike Chunsoft should look into making adjustments to quickly before its wide release! That should really be the top priority as its early access is making players wonder whether there could be more that needs adjustment before gamers get this officially in their gaming libraries.
