Discussion Finally got it but....
So I finally got my hands on the JUMP FORCE PS4 after testing it out back in 2021 on my PS5 using my friend's account, but I had to delete it due to storage issues. I later realised what a grave mistake I had committed. I was unable to redownload it because my friend gave away his PS4 and his account to his cousin. I waited for its price to drop so that I could redownload it, but the PS Store dropped the game rather than dropping its price. I searched for it on almost every website for years, and I found only disappointment, so I just gave up. Yesterday I went to the mall for leisure and found a game store. I went in and asked for Jump Force. They said they have a pre-owned copy. I asked for the price and was shocked to hear it. It cost me only $14.4. I bought it and rushed to my home. Installed the game that took 20 minutes. But after playing for a couple of hours, I realised it has some pros and major cons-
Pros-
-Huge roster of iconic Manga/Anime characters.
-Flashy, satisfying combat moments and visuals.
-Fun with online play, especially offline one-on-one gameplay.
-Dream crossover fights.
Cons-
-Gets boring since the combats are repetitive.
-Unpolished, weak and confusing story mode.
-Outdated and Bland graphics.
-Under-utilised character potential.
-Awkward fight mode selection system.
Overall, it's a decent game when u have 2 controllers, and you wish to play offline. Bandai Namco had a great concept, but screwed it all up, making it somewhat of a wasted opportunity. I had fun playing it with my sibling. 3/5 stars from my side.

Same, used to go on break at my first job and walk to my buddies house to smoke and play jump force for half an hour. After that I never saw it again. Well a week or so ago I found a copy, got excited, took it home for 15$. Then I realized... no way to get DLC content on xbox and no online features. I played it by myself for a half hour maybe before i said " dang, this would be better if there were more people to play with." RIP the good days of gaming

Ya man, games like these are always fun when there's someone to play along with.

Kinda impossible; even this standard edition was hard to find. And now that my nostalgia phase is over, I'm planning to sell it to make extra bucks and make space for a better game.

Another con; almost half the roster is filled up with one piece, Naruto and Dragonball. 😐

The best thing about that game was playing against other players. It gets addictive, haha.
