Review: Dragon Ball Z – Ultimate Tenkaichi (PS3)

October 28, 2011 – 12:44 pm |

I really liked last year’s DBZ game, Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit 2. It felt like the franchise had finally achieved some serious attention with a game that was both deep and fun.
This year, we …

Dear Mr. Clan Member,

Poor Mr. Clan Member!I’m sorry I beat you, Mr. Clan Member. I just wanted to come out and apologize. You remember me, don’t you? Saturday night, I joined your room on the Attacking team in Rainbow Six alongside a bunch of no-rank, no-mic strangers and disarmed your bomb. I didn’t do it just once but twice in a row. I’m sorry you felt that forcing all the lower ranked players to the other team would guarantee a win for you.

I know you wanted me to protect your bomb for twenty minutes, fend off your teammates then disarm it at the last possible second. Besides being impossible, this would give every player on each team enough time to pad their stats and make the game “fair.” In the end, your logic is flawed; the amount of points you gain in one 20-minute match pales in comparison to three smaller 5-7 minute matches.

I know you were upset at me because you blasted me with a profanity and kicked me off your server. Normally, when I’m kicked off a server, I simply just forget about it and roll into another, but thanks to your fun little outburst, I haven’t been able to forget it. I’ve had a warm fuzzy feeling in my tummy ever since that game, Mr. Clan Member. I’m so very sorry that you were upset but boy oh boy, hearing you rant sure made my day.

Thanks again!

    Is that supposed to be an actual article about video game news? That’s why I am going to stop looking at this site.

    WoW What a loser ^^^^^

    Kyle, bloggers write about their experiences gaming. If you don’t like it, go find a corporate news site.

    Me thinks Kyle IS the clan member, or a whiny gamer just like him.

    Welcome to Rainbow 6 Vegas multiplayer. Probably 75% of the games are like that for me. Though I love it when a clan gets one side stacked with just their clan members and they get owned by the other side who more often then not has a kid singing throughout the game but can actually play. Once in a while you get into a game where the teams communicate well but it’s pretty rare.

    I love the snively angry kid picture.

  • Brent says:

    Good for you. Like Jimmy Conway always said, “Dont Take No Shit Off Nobody.”

  • Brent says:

    Robert DeNiro’s character from Goodfellas says it to Spider (aka Michael Imperiolo way before Sopranos) but then Joe Pesci kills Spider for the cheap talk.

    But it’s great advice.

    Excellent piece. You pretty much summed up the online picture for Vegas on XBL. You join a random server, chances are it’s a clan server and that the clan is stacked on one side, leaving you with a bunch of idiots. If they need space for other clan members, they’ll boot you. If you don’t have a mic or have a bad ping (yet their members may have one of the two), they boot you. If you do nothing at all and are just playing, they boot you. If you start to win and do good, they throw hissy fits and insults at you unprovoked. In my opinion, Vegas is a failure because of this. If only Ubisoft would include filters for this kind of shit, it wouldn’t be like this. People who are clanless can easily find open games and play seamlessly in this.
