During Microsoft’s E3 press conference, I very briefly mentioned the announcement of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, but didn’t say too much about it. After all, I’m not a Dragon Ball fan.
Lately, however, I’m actually becoming somewhat interested in the game despite my general unfamiliarity with the series.
They’ve shown off things like a driving mini-game, a baseball mini-game, RPG elements, and basically a lot of things that make me think I’d be following it if it was a brand new IP.
My knowledge of Dragon Ball Z is pretty slim and mainly consists of things a friend told me about in elementary school, but from what I’ve seen, it sounds like the game is going to cover the major story arcs of Dragon Ball Z.
Together with my newfound interest in the game thanks to these mini-games and such, I’m starting to think I might play Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and let that be my introduction to the series. Then again, maybe it would be better for me to get into the series first to have a better frame of reference going into the game.
What do you think of what we’ve seen from Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot? Do you think it’s a good game for a series newcomer like me?
(I considered blogging about the hints that a new Batman Arkham game is coming, but decided to save that for when there’s more news.)
