The noob trap that is Dragon Ball Fighterz

Yes literally. It is not even day 2 (I think it is going to be day 3) and I already see people leaving bad reviews of Dragon Ball Fighterz. Oh yes and the bloodbath of day 1 Dragon Ball Fighterz streams.

This is going be mostly what I feel are unpopular opinions and what people do not want to hear.

Why Dragon Ball Fighterz or any fighting games are not for you.

1. Fighting games are hard and you are going to lose almost 99% of the time before you could figuratively start thinking of getting some wins in.

2. In line with fighting games being hard, you need to actually put in work to get better. If you just want to be entertained. Please look elsewhere. If you want to know the story mode of DBFZ, go to youtube and watch the cutscenes or something. You save your 60 bucks.

3. Now comes the question, what does putting in work mean? I mean everyone seen those great matches at Evo or big fighting game tournaments? What you don't see is people spending a lot of time reading, researching and even going to gyms to get themselves ready. I actually spend time in training mode back when I was very active in meltyblood as well training to figure out how to beat certain tricks and strategies. Those hours spent are never seen by people.

4. Playing fighting games is also a stressful affair. Again this is similar to the point 2. If you are in for the entertainment. Go for other genres (Well maybe not Tetris Grandmaster).

5. If you cannot take losing well, Fighting Games are also not ideal for you. Look I am also often salty (salty here meaning not taking the loss well) when I lose. Get salty, rage, cry whatever but I still come back to the game.

6. Fighting games are also based on the idea of mastery. The mastery of anything means the devotion of time and effort. Something I will actually say is counter to what modern video games are.

To summarise, if you wonder why people in the Fighting Game community enjoy playing it so much. It is basically a form of mastery of yourself, overcoming your opponent and seeing the fruit of efforts.This is not replicated in other games especially team-based PVP games. Win or lose it is all you. No one can take it away or steal it.

Thank you for reading.

P.S. This piece here again comes with me needing to get it out of my system.
