Would you like it? Would you hate it? Are you neutral?
What are your thoughts?
(For the guys who are like how the **** can you play an MMORPG on PS4 or X360, you can simply attach a keyboard & Mouse and it should work)

I would hate it honestly. I prefer playing MMO's on a PC. It's just better imo.

It would suck and probably fail hard lol

I like how he didn't say Xbox One lol ;D

Better on PC though.

It's a bad idea.

Zellion · « **Reply #7 on:** June 12, 2014, 09:12:17 AM »

I can't say whether its a bad or good thing. I don't think it would of changed the outcome of the game.

Also, I know a lot of people who don't play mmo's on consoles and never will. So unless they brought it out for all three, it'd be a failure.

It'd fail without a doubt.

I was thinking the same thing.

It would probably fall flat on its face because the audience of Dragon Ball console games is very different from the audience for DBO. They want more fast-paced, high-octane action with less grinding. The only way it could really work is if, as I've said time and time again, the games were reworked to be much more action-oriented instead of having a standard MMO layout with a Dragon Ball flavor. The main issue with that is technological limitations, but in due time, we'll probably see more games pushing toward that.

It would get raped in the ass with hate by DBZ console fans.

I think you guys are actually not looking at it right.
There's a lot of DBZ fans who would probably not like it on the consoles... but at the same time, there's people who would eat it up anyway.
I'm a console DBZ game fan (to a certain degree). I'm also an RPG fan. I've played console MMOs.

It might not have the number of players that other DBZ games might, but by the same token, you'd be surprised how many console gamers are starving for an MMO that doesn't cost them $15 a month, and doesn't follow the trend of "Here's a sword, go slay a dragon."

Hell, one of the most mediocre games of all time was Legacy of Goku. Granted, it was a handheld game, not a console, but my point remains valid.
It was a hugely mediocre game, and yet people ate it up simply because it had the Dragon Ball name attached to it.

And if it were advertised as a Dragon Ball MMO, that's what people would see.

I think it would be extremely over-hyped and end up not being as good as what we think it would be, similarly to Watch Dogs.

ZeStarGamer · « **Reply #14 on:** June 12, 2014, 12:31:58 PM »

That doesn't sound like it would work

Nia · « **Reply #15 on:** June 12, 2014, 12:50:31 PM »

It could work. There's been MMOs on consoles before, and they have them even now.
Why couldn't it work?

You're all assuming that because it was made for PC that it can only work on PC, but that's just not so.
I've played a few console MMOs. They were perfectly fun.
My favorite PS3 game was an MMO.
They shut it down around this time last year, but that's because the parent company is kinda a d**k. It's actually still going strong in Japan.

Sure, you'd have to adapt the controls to match a console controller, but that's been done with tons of games.
They wouldn't have to change the core gameplay at all, and plenty of people (in fact most who play console MMOs) just use a usb keyboard for conversations, so there's no reason why they can't make it so the game would respond to that as well.

They have stuff like (ugh...) Final Fantasy XIV on consoles. Before that was Final Fantasy XI.
Elder Scrolls Online I think is on the next-gen consoles.
It can be done, and it can be done quite well.

Amune · « **Reply #16 on:** June 12, 2014, 12:57:21 PM »

It can be done well, and you've stated a good few that have done well, but there is also some others that didn't go so well.

That's true (like the aforementioned FFXIV).
Although in that case it's not because they did a bad job of making it playable on the console, it's simply because it's a bad game (even on PC).
It'd all be up to how they converted it from the PC version, just like it is when they bring a console game to the PC.

So, yes. It could end up being awful, but such a thing could've turned out great as well.
Of course, it's all a moot point since the game is likely never gonna be rereleased on PC (outside of DBOR, that is).

I would have loved to play DBO on a console. The reason why majority of my friends didn't get DBO was because it was complicated for them to download, install, and patch the game. If they put DBO on consoles that problem would have been solved right away. I had Phantasy Star Universe for Xbox 360. It was my first MMO besides Wizard 101 (which was complete crap). I had lots of fun playing the game... too bad it shut down.. $:-\$ I also believe PSU brought me to DBO (not sure).

GoldGinkaku · « **Reply #20 on:** June 12, 2014, 09:04:58 PM »

Some nice comments I see, and guys, if it does the pc, x360 and ps4 will all link to one server.
I think this would be a boost

It could work yeah, but that wasn't the question. The question was if you would like it. Understandable, it would be difficult for you to answer since you didn't experience it before, but the way it was developed, at least imo, DBO on a console would be a total fail. It just isn't the correct MMO to have on a console.

As well, it is just easier if it's on a PC. You aren't just going to link all the different consoles together to one server as well as the PC. It just doesn't work that way. With this particular MMO, it just would not fit well.

Nia · « **Reply #24 on:** June 13, 2014, 10:43:33 AM »

They've said that about quite a few games that had a successful console outing.
And there have been some console games that could be played with people playing a PC game (I think FFXI was one of the few, but I can't say for certain).

Still, I get what you're saying, but by the same token, one can never really know how well a transition a game would have from it's native system (be it a console or PC) until it happens.
People said Diablo III couldn't work on consoles, but they made it work.

But, yes, I do see the preference of playing on a PC with an MMO, at least to a certain degree.
For instance, something like DBO probably does make a better fit on PC. At the same time, I can't imagine that playing Phantasy Star is as smooth on a PC as it is on a console, because of the gameplay style.

But, I also have my doubts that DBO would be a complete failure on consoles either.

But it's a moot point regardless since there's pretty much no chance of it happening either way.
