Dragon Ball Z Kakarot PC Review

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Dragon Ball Z Kakarot. As always, the review will have four parts, firstly I will talk about the storyline, then about the gameplay, afterward, I will talk about the visuals and finally, I will tell you my personal thoughts and give you a rating for the game from 0-10 (10 being the best).

Storyline

The story of Dragon Ball Z Kakarot is the story of Dragon Ball Z that we all know from countless games that have come before this and of course from the anime. This game also has some side quests that add small things to the dbz lore and it also has some characters that aren’t originally from dbz, for example, it has Android 21 from FighterZ. It also has some interactions that didn’t happen in the anime.

In conclusion, the storyline of Dragon Ball Z Kakarot is a good choice even for those that have seen the dbz story from countless games before because of the small things that have been added to keep the story interesting.

Now is this enough to justify the 60 dollar price? I will answer this in the Final Thoughts section.

Gameplay

The gameplay of Dragon Ball Z Kakarot is a little disappointing for me if I have to be honest. The fighting mechanics are very basic. A lot more basic than Xenoverse. You basically hit the same button over and over again to do the melee attacks. The combos are extremely limited. Also, the game is very easy. I almost never had to do anything else from main missions and I still beat everyone on the first try. If not the first then at most the fifth try. It depends on the enemy.

I have to mention that I am always underleveled, in almost every single fight I am at least 4 levels behind. I didn’t expect something like this from an RPG. The fighting doesn’t require any skill to pull off since everything is so basic that even a person that has never played fighting games would get used to the fighting mechanics in 30 minutes.

Most of the RPG elements in the game are pretty boring and aren’t worth to even learn how to use. For example the cooking. I literally never used it except for when the mission is to cook something.

There are 7 community boards, in each of them, you put soul emblems to help with different things like cooking, fighting and more. The only community board that I used was the one for fighting. I never even bothered to learn how to use the rest or what is more optimal since I never needed them to beat the game.

The game’s RPG system is one of the most boring and unintuitive I have ever seen and it really doesn’t need to even exist.

The open world in this game feels empty. It just has many weak enemies flying around in the sky that serve as a stalling device to make the game feel longer since in the missions that you have to find some items in the world they chase you and they force you into a fight.

My opinion is that if you want to do something do it well or don’t do it at all. This game didn’t need to be an RPG or open-world, because they did a poor job in both so much so that you will wish many times that you didn’t have to do some things to progress. Like searching in the world for items that are needed for missions.

Visuals

Dragon Ball Z Kakarot has outstanding visuals. The visuals of this game are the best you have seen in any Dragon Ball Z game till now. The cutscenes look amazing with those graphics.

One problem that I have though is that the game doesn’t allow you to switch outfits for your characters. In an RPG you would think that this would be a given but it seems that the developers of Dragon Ball Z Kakarot didn’t think it was necessary.

The only solution for that is to use mods. Unfortunately only the PC players have access to them.

[adinserter block=”1″]

Final Thoughts

Dragon Ball Z Kakarot is a very average game and if it wasn’t about Dragon Ball Z nobody would bother to play it. The RPG system is bad and the open world feels empty and annoying to travel in it. The fighting mechanics are very basic and become repetitive very fast. Every fight goes exactly the same way.

The story is the story you all know and have seen countless times with some minor things added to make it a little more interesting.

The only thing that is truly good about this game are the visuals which are excellent

I don’t recommend buying this game at full price. Wait until the price drops to 30 dollars or less

Final Verdict

Storyline: 7.2

Gameplay: 7.0

Visuals: 10.0

General Rating: 8.0

Note: The storyline rating doesn’t reflect how I feel about the anime Dragon Ball Z. This rating covers how invested the game makes you feel for/about the story. I personally have played through the Dragon Ball story many times in different games over the years and just playing it again with better graphics isn’t enough anymore to make me satisfied.

That’s it for my review guys, I hope you liked it. If you liked the game leave a comment down below and tell me what you liked the most about this game. See ya in the next article.

The Ultimate List of the 10 Best DBZ Games

10. Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai – Another Road

Shin Budokai – Another Road is a dbz game released on PSP. It is influenced by Budokai 3 and that is a good thing as you will see later.

Shin Budokai – Another Road is a 2D fighting game that has a decent story and a good amount of characters to play with to keep you engaged for a lot of hours.

Of course, the game being released on portable console has its drawbacks, which means not so great graphics.

If you don’t mind the graphics and still want a good 2D fighting game, then this will be a nice addition to your PSP collection.

9. Dragon Ball Online

I have had a lot of fun with this game. It’s an MMORPG with a good story. Xenoverse and Xenoverse 2 stories were based on the Dragon Ball Online story.

In Dragon Ball Online you can choose between 3 races, Humans, Namekians and Majin. You can also gather the Dragon Balls and wish for Shenron to unlock the Super Saiyan transformation, but only if you are human (that is because in the time period that the game takes place, all humans have some Saiyan genes and they have the potential to unlock the Super Saiyan transformation).

If you are Namekian you can unlock the Super Namekian transformation and if you are Majin you can become Kid Buu.

The fighting skills that all the races use are based on character moves from the anime like the Kamehameha or the Special Beam Cannon or even the Instant Transmission.

The game was pay to win when it was originally released but since then, the servers were shut down and it was abandoned.

Nowadays fans have received the game and you can play it again without the pay to win elements.

If you want to play the game now search for Dragon Ball Online Universe Revelations.

8. Dragon Ball Z: kakarot

This is the latest Dragon Ball Z game that has been released. Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot tried to do a lot of things but it didn’t manage to fulfill all of the fans’ expectations.

Nevertheless, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot had amazing graphics, and it also covered the entire story of Dragon Ball Z with the best animation and cutscenes that we have seen in a Dragon Ball Z game until today.

The combat is decent, it’s not great, but it’s not horrible either. This game could have been a lot higher on this list if the developers did a better job with the RPG elements of the game.

7. Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit

Burst Limit is another 2D fighting gaming with good graphics and solid gameplay. It has a decent roster and anime like fights in the game.

There really isn’t much to say about this game because it is similar to other Dragon Ball Z games just not quite as good as Budokai 3 and Fighter Z.

[adinserter block=”1″]

6. Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2

Raging Blast 2 is a 3D fighting game with very good character graphics, but the scenery feels a little sluggish and the gameplay is similar to Budokai Tenkaichi 3.

Some might say that Raging Blast 2 is better than Budokai Tenkaichi 3 but for me, that isn’t the case. Raging Blast 2 has some What-If transformations like Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta and Super Saiyan 3 Broly. Combos are harder to pull off.

If you are a hardcore Dragon Ball Z fan then I highly recommend this game for you.

5. Dragon Ball Z: Tenkaichi Tag Team

Tenkaichi Tag Team is an amazing game that was released for PSP and is very similar to Budokai Tenkaichi 3. It is basically the same with fewer characters and a 2 vs 2 mode, which I think is awesome.

I have played this for a lot of hours and trust me, you won’t be disappointed. The only reason this game isn’t in the 3rd and 4th position is that it is on a portable console and it doesn’t have as much content as the games below.

If you liked Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and you have a PSP or an emulator you should get this game.

4. Dragon Ball FighterZ

Dragon Ball FighterZ is a game that is considered by many one of the best fighting games ever made.

The story mode of the game is fun and entertaining. Especially the character interactions. Seeing Cell roast everyone is a sight to behold.

FighterZ and Xenoverse 2 can be compared with each other the same way you can compare Budokai 3 and Budokai Tenkaichi 3. It all comes down to 2D vs 3D. I personally prefer 3D and that’s why I placed FighterZ in the fourth place and Xenoverse 2 in the third place, but someone else could have done the opposite and I would be fine with that.

If you love 2D fighting games then you will find that this is a game for you.

3. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2

When the first Xenoverse was announced I thought that I would see a game that is similar to Budokai Tenkaichi 3 but with better graphics, character creation and online gameplay. It didn’t go as I expected it.

Xenoverse 2 is a good game and a worthy successor to Xenoverse but for me, the fighting mechanics aren’t as good as Budokai Tenkaichi 3. There is no Ki Blast collision like Tenkaichi 3.

Clothing doesn’t get destroyed when someone hits an ultimate on you. The character animation isn’t what I wanted. The character view seems bulky to me.

I would prefer it if they improved the Budokai Tenkaichi 3 animation style rather than making something like what they have now. Had they used similar animations to Ultimate Tenkaichi I would be fine with that.

Finally, the combos and fighting doesn’t feel as anime-like as Budokai Tenkaichi 3. The fighting moves feel slower in Xenoverse and there are no cutscenes on certain moves, something I adore in Budokai Tenkaichi 3.

Xenoverse 2 is a great game that many people love but for me, it doesn’t hold a candle to Budokai Tenkaichi 3.

2. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3

Now this game is the biggest contender to Tenkaichi 3. Many lists have this in the first place and many others have Tenkaichi 3 instead.

For me, it comes down to preference. If you prefer 2D fighting games, then Budokai 3 is the best choice for you. If you prefer 3D fighting games, you should pick Budokai Tenkaichi 3. I personally prefer 3D. Budokai 3 has very good fighting mechanics though the graphics are a little dated.

Still, fans have this game in their hearts and consider it one of the best Dragon Ball Z games and rightfully so.

1. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3

Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is, in my opinion, the best Dragon Ball Z game ever made.

It has the biggest roster of characters, more than any other Dragon Ball Z game ever made so far.

The story mode is big and contains What-If scenarios too.

The graphics look amazing even to this day and the fighting mechanics are fun and make you feel like you are seeing a fight from the anime. Some say that some character moves feel the same as some other character’s and I agree to an extent but that doesn’t change much.

A lot of fans of Dragon Ball Z still ask for a Budokai Tenkaichi 4 or a remastered edition of Budokai Tenkaichi 3. I have spent hundreds of hours playing this game and I have no doubt that you would enjoy it too.

If you don’t have a ps2 then a ps2 emulator is the only way to play the game for now. I have played this game on PC and it’s even better with an emulator!

That was my list. I hope you enjoyed the article. Tell me in the comments below what is your favorite Dragon Ball Z game or if your favorite Dragon Ball Z game wasn’t on this list, and as Goku said: “See ya later guys!”

Cemu with Mouse and Keyboard – The Definitive Guide

THERE IS A NEW METHOD TO SETUP CEMU WITH MOUSE AND KEYBOARD LINK HERE: https://gamerwelfare.com/2022/08/26/cemu-with-mouse-and-keyboard-new-method/

The old method(which is described in this article) still works but you have to download an older version of Cemu to do it and when you finish you can then update to the latest one. With the new method, you don’t need to download an older version.

Hi guys! Today I will teach you how to use a mouse and keyboard to play games on Cemu. It probably won’t work on all games, but one game that it will surely work on is BotW. This process is tested and if you follow every step to the letter, I guarantee you that it will work out.

Before I begin I have to warn you THE GUIDE DOESNT WORK FOR CEMU version 1.26.0 or later (probably the “later” part since I don’t know if something changes in the future) so you have to go here https://cemu.info/changelog.html and download cemu v1.25.6, create the controllerProfiles folder in Cemu location manually and do the rest of the process as I show in the guide. You can update to the latest version of Cemu after you finish the whole process I show in the guide since the controller profiles won’t be affected.

What you will need:

Besides Cemu, you will need to download two files from the same website. The website is safe and the files don’t contain any viruses.

Here are the links:

https://github.com/CemuUser8/mouse2joystick_custom_CEMU/releases https://github.com/jshafer817/vJoy/releases/tag/v2.1.9.1

From the first link, you will need to download this file: mouse2joystick_Custom_Cemu.zip

From the second link, you will need to download this file: vJoySetup.exe

Now that you have both files let’s begin the process.

First, you need to extract this file: mouse2joystick_Custom_Cemu.zip

Here is what you will get after extraction:

Next, you need to double click the vJoySetup.exe(the first file I told you to download) and install vJoy. You don’t need to change the installation settings just click Next all the time till Install button appears and then click install.

After you finish with the installation open the Windows search bar and type configure vjoy and open the Configure vJoy app.

When you open the app a window will pop up. Copy all my settings exactly as shown in the image below and click apply. Then close the window.

Now I want you to go to the folder that you extracted before from mouse2joystick_Custom_Cemu.zip and open controllerProfiles folder.

This is the folder:

Inside the folder, you will see 4 files. Right-Click on the file named vJoyDevice_GamePad.txt and click Copy.

This is the file:

Now I want you to go to the location you have Cemu on your PC and find controllerProfiles folder. If you have a Cemu shortcut on Desktop you can right-click on it and click on Open file location so that you can find the folder easier.

This is the folder:

Open the folder. Right-click in the space inside the folder and paste the file you copied before.

Here is what the end result will be:

Now I want you to open Cemu.

In the menu at the top of the window click on Options then click on Input Settings.

On the window that will open up, in the Profile setting click on the arrow to the right and choose vJoyDevice_GamePad, in the Emulator Controller setting choose Wii U Gamepad, in the Controller Api setting choose Direct Input and in the Controller setting choose vJoy Device. Then click Load and close the window.

Here is what the window should look like before you close it:

Now I want you to go again to Options then click again Input Settings and open that window again.

After you open it below the Right Axis you will see an option named Range, set that to maximum percentage. If in the Profile setting says <profile name>, click on the arrow to the right and choose vJoyDevice_GamePad. Then click Save. If the Profile setting changes to <profile name> again, it’s ok, just ignore it and close the window.

This is the image just before I clicked Save.

This is the image after I clicked Save.

Now I want you to go to the folder that you extracted from mouse2joystick_Custom_Cemu.zip right-click on mouse2joystick_Custom_CEMU.exe and then go to Properties. Then I want you to go to the Compatibility menu. Make sure Run this program as an administrator is checked. Then click Apply, then click OK.

Here is the image of the file.

Here is how it should look like before you click Apply.

After you click OK. I want you to double-click mouse2joystick_Custom_CEMU.exe. If it is running then you should see this:

This program should be running before you open a game with Cemu in order to be able to play with mouse and keyboard. If you right-click on that icon and then click Settings you can change a lot of things like sensitivity or the key bindings that you will use to play games. Ask me in the comments below if you have any questions about this. You can change the sensitivity of the camera because it is a little slow in some games.

To change key bindings go to the menu I show below, you can find it on mouse2joystick settings(right-click on mouse2joystick icon from the taskbar and then click Settings), after you go there, click on KeyList Helper to change key bindings:

To change the script activation key from F1 to another key go here (you can find it on mouse2joystick settings, to go there right-click on mouse2joystick icon from the taskbar and then click Settings):

You can find the keyboard mapping here: https://imgur.com/a/Y29TyN9

Also, I would like to mention – is M on the keyboard. It doesn’t show it in the image.

Now on to the last step. Open whichever Cemu game you want. Once the game window opens up press F1 on your keyboard to activate the script in order to be able to play with mouse and keyboard. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, DON’T FORGET IT SINCE IT WON’T WORK WITHOUT IT. In order to deactivate script press F1 again.

When you press F1 to activate the script the mouse cursor will disappear from your screen. Don’t worry. This is because the script is running. If you press F1 again to deactivate the script then the mouse cursor will appear again.

Some games might require gyroscope/motion controls. For those games watch this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pp1B8S7yxI&feature=youtu.be

I also recommend you to watch Cemu Complete Setup Guide:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw7qa94P0ls

This was the guide. Thanks for reading it, and I hope that all went well without problems. If you have faced any problems or have any questions feel free to comment below and ask.

8 Anticipated Games of 2020

Hey guys! Today I will talk about 8 anticipated games of 2020. I hope you find some games on this list that you didn’t know about. Now let’s begin.

1. Final Fantasy 7 Remake – April 10, 2020

This is definitely one of the most anticipated games of 2020. Final Fantasy games have a long history in the gaming world and a passionate fanbase. Final Fantasy 7 is considered one of the best installments in the Final Fantasy franchise and as you can guess fans can’t wait play the remake of this game. The game is a timed-exclusive for PS4, so those that don’t have a PS4 will have to wait to play it on their gaming system.

2. Resident Evil 3 Remake – April 2, 2020

Another remake of a game from a popular franchise. I guess you can say this is the year of remakes. The fans of Resident Evil get another remake after Resident Evil 2 and let’s hope they do as good as they did with the previous remake.

3. Elden Ring – June 2020

This is my personal favorite from this list and the game I most anticipate. FromSoftware is known for making brutally challenging games and their games have created a new gaming genre called souls-like. This time they up the stakes once again. Promising an open world experience with a new story created by the author George R.R. Martin. There aren’t a lot of information about the game. We only know that it will be an RPG and that it takes place in an open world.

4. Dying Light 2 – Spring 2020

Dying Light was a very intriguing game when it was released. The concept was parkour with zombies and I have to say it was a lot of fun. I have a review of the first game so click here if you want to check it out. We have to wait and see how the developers will improve upon the first game and if they can deliver an even greater experience.

5. Cyberpunk 2077 – September 17, 2020

CD Projekt Red is well know in the gaming world for the Witcher games. They were and still are extremely popular and The Witcher 3 is even considered by many to be the best action RPG ever created. Cyberpunk 2077 shows a lot of promise in the trailers and knowing CD Projekt Red, they will probably give us an amazing game.

6. Godfall – Holidays 2020

This is my second favorite game from this list. Godfall was something that I didn’t expect. The trailer for the game was breathtaking. Magic with knights wearing cool looking armor. The game looks amazing, and we know that it will be a loot-driven action RPG, and you will be able to play solo or co-op. It will also have real-time melee combat.

7. Watch Dogs: Legion – 2020

Watch Dogs: Legion introduces a new mechanic that we haven’t seen in any game before. In Watch Dogs: Legion you will be able to recruit any NPC from the citizens of London and make him/her a part of your team and a playable character. This is a very interesting concept but it’s also very hard to pull off in a way that it works and it’s fun. This sure isn’t an easy task and whether they succeed or not we will have to wait and see.

8. Diablo 4 – 2020

Diablo 4 is a game that fans of the Diablo franchise have been wanting for years. Finally, Blizzard announced that the game will be released in 2020. Now whether Blizzard can meet the fans’ expectations for this game, it remains to be seen.

I hope that you liked my list. What other games are you looking forward to playing in 2020? Write a comment down below and tell me.

Final Fantasy XV PC Review

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Final Fantasy XV. As always, the review will have four parts, firstly I will talk about the storyline, then about the gameplay, afterward, I will talk about the visuals and finally, I will tell you my personal thoughts and give you a rating for the game from 0-10 (10 being the best).

Storyline

The story of Final Fantasy XV revolves around prince Noctis and his three friends as they travel to the place where Noctis is going to get married. A lot happens in that journey which I won’t reveal here, but one thing that I have to say is that it turns out that that place isn’t their final destination.

The story is very good, the only problem with it, is that in order to fully understand it, you have to watch the movie that is a tie-in to the game and probably the anime series too. I watched the movie, but not the anime.

I personally prefer the game to tell me everything I need to know about it and not force me to watch other things in order to get a better understanding of what is going on.

The movie was good, but I don’t like games doing this type of thing.

Gameplay

Now let’s talk about the combat system. The combat in Final Fantasy XV, isn’t something great. It is good, but not something that will make you remember it and hope they do something similar to this again.

In combat, you have 4 different weapons that you can swap and items that you can use. The items include spells and different types of elixirs. The problem for me is that the spells are limited meaning that you can run out of them and then you have to make new ones.

Basically, spells are like items that you have to replenish in order to use.

I didn’t like that aspect of the game and I think they could implement spells in a different way that is less annoying and tedious(because you have to gather energy from sources that are scattered across the map in order to make new spells and that is very frustrating).

The combat is somewhat repetitive since you do the same thing most of the time, meaning you use the gap closer then you spam the attack button till the enemy dies and then do this all over again for the other enemies.

Of course, you can also use some spells to add some variety to the fights, but since they are limited and if you run out of them then you have to go around the map to gather energy from sources to make more, it isn’t a good idea to use spells often(I usually kept them for when they were absolutely necessary.

The difficulty of the game is pretty average. I didn’t find the game challenging enough, but each person has a different opinion on what is challenging and what isn’t. Personally, I find games challenging only when they are at Sekiro level difficulty.

Visuals

The visuals of Final Fantasy XV are truly outstanding, the scenery is breathtaking and when you play is like you watch a movie. The downside is that the game requires you to have good PC specs to fully enjoy this experience since average graphics card won’t be able to handle this game on the highest settings.

One more downside to this game is that it doesn’t have many customization options for your character. The outfits are very limited, and I think they missed a good opportunity here.

Final Thoughts

Final Fantasy XV is a very good game with an entertaining story. Personally, I loved the character of Noctis and the story of FFXV.

The combat isn’t something special and they could have done some things differently in that regard. For those that want something challenging, I have to say that you will be disappointed, not that the game is easy but its not dark souls level of difficulty.

Lastly, the visuals are amazing and some of the best I have seen even by today’s standards.

I don’t recommend buying the game at full price. I believe you should wait for a sale.

Final Verdict

Storyline: 9.5

Gameplay: 8.5

Visuals: 9.8

General Rating: 9.3

4 Easy Steps to Increase FPS in Games

Hi guys! Today I will show you 4 easy things you can do to get a few more FPS in games.

Before we begin, do a backup of your PC to make sure you are safe if something goes wrong.

I have to say I do this for years regularly (I mean I do this every time I restart my PC which is often) and not a single time I have had any problems, literally never.

For that 0.01% chance though, I recommend you do a backup.

I warn you to do this on your own responsibility.

Even though I am 99.9% sure nothing will go wrong, I just say this so that you don’t blame me if something goes wrong.

I have also made a Youtube video that shows the whole process that I describe below. The images are from that video. Here is the link.

Now let’s begin.

First Step

Press Windows Key + R. In the window that opens up type: prefetch.

If a window pops up saying that You don’t currently have permission to access this folder then click Continue.

If you have more files than me then it’s ok, as I said I delete these files regularly.

Now, in the window that opens up select everything (or press CTRL+A to select everything faster) and then right-click on the files and click Delete (or press DEL on the keyboard).

If some files can’t be deleted, then click on the window that opens up Do this for all current items and click Skip after that.

Then close the window.

Second Step

Now, press Windows Key + R. In the window that opens up type: temp.

If a window pops up saying that You don’t currently have permission to access this folder then click Continue.

If you have more files than me then it’s ok, as I said I delete these files regularly.

Now, in the window that opens up select everything (or press CTRL+A to select everything faster) and then right-click on the files and click Delete (or press DEL on the keyboard).

If some files can’t be deleted, then click on the window that opens up Do this for all current items and click Skip after that. Click Continue if a window pops up like it did just now.

Then close the window.

[adinserter block=”1″]

Third Step

For the last time, press Windows Key + R. In the window that opens up type: %temp%.

If a window pops up saying that You don’t currently have permission to access this folder then click Continue.

If you have more files than me then it’s ok, as I said I delete these files regularly.

Now, in the window that opens up select everything (or press CTRL+A to select everything faster) and then right-click on the files and click Delete (or press DEL on the keyboard).

If some files can’t be deleted, then click on the window that opens up Do this for all current items and click Skip after that.

Then close the window.

Make sure to Empty Recycle Bin. If a window pops up while you Empty the Recycle Bin then click Continue.

Fourth Step

The last thing that you can do to improve FPS in games, is to find the game’s .exe file (sometimes the .exe has a shortcut on Desktop, but if it is a steam game for example then you will probably have to find the .exe file on your game files).

I will show you an example of where to find the .exe file if it is a steam game after I explain what to do if the .exe file has a shortcut on Desktop.

Now if the game’s .exe has a desktop shortcut, then right-click on it and then click Properties.

Then click on the Compatibility Tab (You won’t see this tab if it is a steam game and you will have to find the .exe file, so wait for me to show where to find it later).

Then make sure that Disable fullscreen optimizations box is checked.

After that click Change high DPI settings. Make sure that both boxes in the window that appears are checked.

Then click OK in that window and then click Change settings for all users. Make sure that Disable fullscreen optimizations is checked there, and below that, click Change high DPI settings, and in the window that pops up make sure that both boxes are checked.

After that Click OK in that Window, then click OK again and click OK one more time to close the last window.

Now I will show you where to find the .exe for steam games.

Open Steam and click Library. Right-click on the game you want from the left and click Properties.

Then in the window that opens up, click the Local Files tab.

After that click Browse Local Files. Then open Binaries Folder, then open Win32 folder and you found the game’s .exe.

Right-click on it, then click Properties and do the things I mentioned before.

That’s it for my article guys. I hope you liked it. Did you get more FPS after you did these 4 steps? Tell me how many FPS you got in the comments below. See ya in the next article.

Sekiro vs Jedi Fallen Order – The Definitive Comparison

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. I will do a comparison between them and I will let you be the judge of which game is better. First I will talk about the storyline of those 2 games, then I will talk about the difference or similarities in their gameplay, and lastly, I will compare the visuals and tell you my final thoughts. Now let’s begin.

Storyline

Both games have interesting storylines the only thing that I would like to point out is that Sekiro has four different endings depending on how you play the game while Jedi Fallen Order has one ending. Now, this comes down on personal preference and whether you like to be able to impact the story through your actions or not. As I said you will be the of which is better.

Gameplay

The main difference is that Sekiro has a more optimized combat system with more variety when it comes to bosses while Jedi Fallen Order tries to combine Force Powers with lightsaber fighting and while it did a good job in both aspects the combat wasn’t as fluid as Sekiros’.

Both games have very similar fighting mechanics. I believe Jedi Fallen Order took inspiration from Sekiro when it comes to lightsaber combat. In both games, you use the same weapon throughout the game although in Jedi Fallen Order you can unlock a dual blade lightsaber.

The combat in both games comes down to breaking the enemy’s posture and then doing damage to his hp all killing him in one strike(depending on the enemy). To break the enemy’s posture there are 2 ways in both games. The more efficient way is to perfect parry since that way the enemy’s posture fills up faster, the other way is to hit him over and over till his posture breaks(that way works more on Jedi Fallen Order, in Sekiro the game forces you more to perfect parry to break the enemy’s posture.

Besides this both games allow you to unlock different skills. The combat sure has more variety in Jedi Fallen Order since you can you the Force to fight enemies, but for me, that isn’t enough to make the combat better in Jedi Fallen Order than in Sekiro.

I am not sure why but the parry in Jedi Fallen Order seemed a little strange since for me it wasn’t that reliable. The timing that you had to press the parry button felt a little off and that for me made the parry unreliable. I played Sekiro on the hardest difficulty possible where if you don’t perfect parry you take damage(also I did that in NG+7 and with demon bell activated) and I beat the game 4 times in that difficulty. Trust me I know how to parry but the parry in Jedi Fallen Order wasn’t that well implemented in my opinion(it feels like a bad imitation of Sekiro).

This is also the case of personal preference. You either prefer more variety in combat or a little less variety but more fluid and reliable combat.

Lastly, Sekiro definitely wins when it comes to bosses, it has a lot more bosses to fight and the fights are a lot more entertaining than Jedi Fallen Order’s fights with its bosses.

[adinserter block=”1″]

Visuals

Here Jedi Fallen Order wins without a doubt. It is objectively better looking than Sekiro. The scenery in Jedi Fallen Order is amazing. Don’t get me wrong Sekiro has good graphics but Jedi Fallen Order is just better looking.

As for the customization, Jedi Fallen Order wins here too since Sekiro has 0 customization. In Jedi Fallen Order you can customize your lightsaber, your ship, your Droid and your clothes.

Final Thoughts

Let me start by saying that both games are undoubtedly good. In the storyline department, both games have great stories but Sekiro offers different endings depending on your choices. In the gameplay department Sekiro does some things better in combat but has less variety, Sekiro also has better bosses, and when it comes to visuals and customization, Jedi Fallen Order is the winner.

That’s it for my article guys. I hope you liked it. What game do you think is better and why? Write down your opinion in the comments below. See ya in the next article.

Why They Need to Make Budokai Tenkaichi 4

First of all, let me say that I know that the chances of it happening are extremely low, but I felt like I needed to explain why many people still hope for Budokai Tenkaichi 4 to be made.

First, let’s talk about why no Dragon Ball Xenoverse game can replace Budokai Tenkaichi 3 in terms of combat experience. Dragon Ball Xenoverse games offer similar combat to Budokai Tenkaichi games and many more features that Budokai Tenkaichi games don’t have like online multiplayer and character creation.

I agree that online multiplayer and character creation are amazing features and if they make a Budokai Tenkaichi 4 they must add them to that game, and they will probably will.

That said, the reason that Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is better than Xenoverse is the combat and since both are fighting games, combat is the most important thing.

The combat in Xenoverse for me feels fake. The punches and kicks feel like they have no impact, and that for me is pretty annoying. The animations in Tenkaichi 3 made the combat feel more real and looking more anime like even though it was released back in 2007. Also, the energy attack animations in Budokai Tenkaichi 3 look a lot more realistic than Xenoverse, for example, the Kamehameha looks a lot better in Budokai Tenkaichi 3 than Xenoverse.

[adinserter block=”1″]

Now I know what you are going to say, you will say that this isn’t combat, it’s just animation. I agree that this isn’t exactly combat but for me making combat look realistic is a very important part of the game experience. If combat looks fake you can’t really enjoy it.

One more thing that Tenkaichi 3 has that makes the combat a lot more fun is that it has cutscenes when you do an ultimate attack or a special combo attack, that make the combat feel more anime like and since those attacks are hard to land if the opponent is good, it’s all the more enjoyable when you manage to land them.

Some more interesting things that Tenkaichi 3 does and Xenoverse doesn’t do is that your character’s clothes are somewhat destroyed or torn and the character seems to have bruises when an opponent land an ultimate on you. Also sometimes when you land some ultimate attacks of specific characters, a cutscene may appear where the planet becomes red from the impact of the attack and the stage that you fight changes to match the planet destruction.

Last but not least, energy attack clashes. It was an amazing mechanic in Budokai Tenkaichi 3 that made the game more faithful to the anime. Unfortunately, Xenoverse games don’t have energy attack clashes.

These things may seem small, but if you add them up, they have a serious impact on the fighting experience of the game. I can’t really understand why they didn’t add them to Xenoverse but the fact that they didn’t add them is the reason why many people want Budokai Tenkaichi 4.

They don’t even need to do much to make Budokai Tenkaichi 4 successful. They just need to improve the graphics of Budokai Tenkaichi 3, add online multiplayer, character creation and Dragon Ball Super characters and it’s done.

I hope that someday they will make this game that I described even if it doesn’t have that name. It’s disappointing that the last Dragon Ball Z game that I enjoyed was made back in 2007.

That’s it for my article guys, I hope you liked it. Tell me your thoughts in the comments below about the things I mentioned, and if you agree or disagree. See ya in the next article.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine PC Review

Hi guys! Today I will talk about X-Men Origins: Wolverine. As always, the review will have four parts, firstly I will talk about the storyline, then about the gameplay, afterward, I will talk about the visuals and finally, I will tell you my personal thoughts and give you a rating for the game from 0-10 (10 being the best).

Storyline

The story of the game is expanding upon the story of the movie that this game is based on. It basically follows the story of the movie adding some new storylines that weren’t in the movie. If you have seen the movie then you will know the story of the game except for a few side stories that have been added to make the game longer.

The game’s story isn’t something special that will astonish you, it is pretty average, neither good nor bad, but trust me you won’t mind at all once you play the game.

Gameplay

Now comes the good part and the reason why you should play this game. When this game was released nobody expected a movie tie in-game to be this good, because movie tie in games were pretty bad or at best average during that time.

The combat in this game is extremely fun and brutal. You chop people in half, you cut off limbs and blood is spilled. Basically, this game did justice to the character and didn’t censor anything.

When you get hit you see the damage in Wolverine’s body, you can even see his bones, and when you regenerate you can see his wounds heal which is a very nice touch, making the game feel more realistic.

As for the enemies, there are a lot of different types of enemies, but I have to say the fighting gets a little repetitive after a certain point. The good thing is that the combat is so visually appealing with execution moves (that you are able to do if you grab an enemy) and also the brutal cutting of limbs(that I mentioned before) that make the combat look realistic and keeps you entertained even if the combat is a little repetitive.

As the game progresses and you kill enemies you gain points to unlock skills. There are a lot of skills you can unlock, and they give more variety to the combat. Some of them are passive and some are active.

The difficulty of the game is a little average in my opinion. The game isn’t as challenging as I would like it to be, but this comes down to personal preference. Personally I like games to be dark souls level of challenging and this one isn’t at that level, but that doesn’t mean that the combat isn’t fun and that there aren’t any challenging moments, it just never forces you to fight the same enemy for hours because he is too difficult to beat.

Visuals

The game came out 10 years ago, so the graphics are dated, but they are still very good even comparing them to today’s standards. In my opinion, if you aren’t a person who wants the best graphics possible in their games then you won’t have a problem with the graphics.

As for the customization, there are some outfits of Wolverine that you can unlock and use them, but I prefer the default game clothes because they work better when Wolverine takes damage and you see the damage on his body.

Besides those outfits, there aren’t any other customization options.

[adinserter block=”1″]

Final Thoughts

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a good game and a solid experience. The combat is very entertaining and fun, the story is ok for what it is, and the visuals are as good as they could if you consider the time of the game’s release. If you like X-Men or Wolverine then this game is a must-have, also if you like hack and slash combat with beheadings and limbs flying then this game is for you.

Final Verdict

Storyline: 7.8

Gameplay: 8.4

Visuals: 7.8

General Rating: 8.0

That’s it for my review guys, I hope you liked it. If you liked the game leave a comment down below and tell me what you liked the most about this game. See ya in the next article.
