Dragon Ball Online Features Dinosaur Beating, Magazine Reading, Nonsense
I’m a pretty big DBZ fan, but I admit being baffled about how anyone would make a Dragon Ball MMORPG when I first heard about it. As the first trailer shows above, they’re going to do by having the characters 1) fight dinosaurs and 2) by ignoring the very basic concept of Dragon Ball and DBZ, as at least some players will to be Saiyans and get to join in on the major fights of the series. Suffice to say, I’m not thrilled. Also, Akira Toriyama can only draw about five different faces for characters; this is going to make the character customization selection pretty brief.
