"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE" Official Discussion Thread

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Also Time Patrol Trunks and Great Saiyaman outfit:

I would just like to reiterate this statement for some people, that this Saiyaman is just an outfit. The selection screen has the cursor on the custom character slot. lol

Do I see 2 Yamchas there?

Dragon Ball Xenoverse was avaliable at Lisboa Games Week during the 6 trough 9, I got the chance to play it yesterday as well as to see the reactions of some people (as well as my friends). Overall ,people are excited for this game and it was pretty amusing seeing people lined up to play a DBZ game (and coming back to it later).

It looks... interesting, I guess. I mean, it looks weird to mean without a cutscene; it looks like it takes no effort when it may take an episode or two for Goku to even charge it. And not substituting Spirit Bomb for Dragon Fist is also strange to me. I don't really know if I like that.

Probably Goku's SS,SS2 and SS3 all have the same fighting style and ultimates that can be changed in the options. Did you see how we can select our other CaC on the character select screen?

Might be Buu Arc Gohan, since he's in kid Gohan's column? Hard to tell. Pretty blurry, so I can't really see if he has a bang in the shadows or anything.

Attacks and stuff don't work the same as in previous dimps games. You don't get access to all transformations with specifc equips, and attacks don't really seem to change under certain conditions either. There was data in the demo for a Dragon Fist Ultimate, so it would be a bit redundant if the Genki Dama spawned the dragon as well.

Anyway, the Genki Dama looks fine considering that all attacks are going to have minimal cutscenes in order to keep the flow of combat. Staying "true" to the series and incorporating the long charge times for some attacks or transformations aren't really what a game like this needs.

Wow, 50 pages more since the last time I was on here. So SS4/GT is confirmed, that's interesting, initially wasn't expecting that. I have to admit that my hype lost some since the beta. I can't say that XV is the 3D DB game that I wanted and dreamed of, but this is their vision I guess. Nevertheless looks like it might be the first DB game I enjoy for years.

Hoping a polished demo is released around christmas time.

On the same boat here. It just looks pretty odd to see SSJ3 Goku doing a Spirit Bomb, especially when he got all of this energy to do something else. Dimps didn't do it with their earlier games, so why are they holding back? Not saying this'll drag me away to get the game or anything, I just hope they fix it, cuz that's a bit fucked up.

[Saiga]

How is allowing Goku to use the Spirit Bomb while transformed "holding back"? I'm actually glad the Xenoverse allow this to happen, because the vast majority of them only let base Goku do it. As said before, Dragon Fist looks like it's going to be in as a separate attack.

[Zenkashuu]

Someone can tell me, from which show this footage is?

Video is up but in bad quality..

Because, as I said again, Dimps never has done this before, and it doesn't make any sense. All of that power and yet he still raises his hands to the sky for some energy?

Dragon Fist looks like it's going to be in as a separate attack.

At least there's that, but base Goku doing it would look dumb as hell.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Not like base Goku already did the Dragon Fist in GT or anything and looked perfect fine while doing it.

Anyway, I don't see why are you letting your preconceived notions about attacks or forms shape what you think should or shouldn't be done? It's a game, not the series. Not all of it needs to make logical sense.

[EXBadguy]

Oh? I could say the same thing about all the what-if forms and non-cannon characters that most people here took the time to badmouth in Heroes. Again, this Spirit Bomb version won't stop me from liking it, I just think it looks dumb seeing SSJ3 Goku doing it.

I could be wrong but didn't Budokai 3 or Infinite World have Goku use Spirit Bomb as a SSJ3?
If that's true, then what's the problem here?

The Spirit Bomb turned into Dragon Fist.

And I often tell them the exact same thing in response to the what-if bashing. It's a game and it's not interfering with your "canon", so who cares if it makes 100% sense or not? Just enjoy the ride.

The vine was from some V Jump event, and here's the full video for the XV part. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paObmfnJF5A

Meh, I think I overrated Dimps, this game isn't all that.

[SingleFringe&Sparks]

Anyone notice that you still take damage if you're attacked during the cutscene of charging the Spirit Bomb? You just don't flinch... I wonder if you could cancel your oppenent's ultimate, that would be cool.
