Dragon Ball: Sparking Zerohas been very well received since its launch last week. Players have been praising its cinematic fights, massive roster, and alternate timeline paths. The character interactions and challenging gameplay are also in the spotlight.
However, every game has some points that don’t gel well with certain players. In the case of Sparking Zero, some feel that characters are too chatty in the store and other menus, especially Bulma.
Bulma Has A Lot To Say
If you head on over to unlock items from the store, you’ll notice that Bulma, mostly, gives her take on every purchase you make. They’re not necessarily opinions as such, but just generic lines she says every time you buy something – sometimes, even if you don’t. The character is canonically quite a talker,but it might be a bit too much for some.
The Sparking Zero Subreddit has quite a few posts complaining about this feature. While some comments are needlessly over the top and hateful, most just find it annoying and hope the developer fixes this. A simple option to mute the characters in the store was the most requested feature in these posts.
While it’s in the nature of the character to constantly chat, I can see how it may be frustrating to some players. Just imagine losing your fifth straight to a SS4 Gogeta only to have Bulma talk your ear off after that; it’s enough to make anyone go Super Saiyan in frustration. Especially when they’re the same scripted lines over and over again.
“This is honestly the biggest thing I want fixed in the game. I hate how often everyone talks and how often it’s the same thing,“says one player on Reddit. To which another replied, “They fr had all the voice actors in the studio just for them to record like 2 or 3 dialogues for the menus instead of doing like 30 different ones.”
How Can This Be Addressed?
It seems most players who are annoyed by this are simply muting the audio when it’s time to go into the shop. While that’s a simple fix, it’s obviously not something you want from your game.
The best way to handle this would be for the devs to simply reduce the frequency of dialogues, or add a toggle to simply turn them off.
Bulma’s chatty nature isn’t the only thing that Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero players have been annoyed with lately. It seems thatthere are already cheaters in the ranked mode only a few days after launch. They have been using mods that give them infinite Ki, allowing them to spam special attacks.
