Re: "Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread



I feel like XenoVerse 3 is slowly becoming the Half Life 3 of the Dragon Ball games. I can't help but wonder if we'll still be speculating about it 10 years from now.


Half life 2 ends on a cliff hanger, Xenoverse 3 was never promised or teased, apples and oranges.


Ironically, XV2 is ...

Re: Official confirmation Toriyama wanted to end Dragonball at the Cell Saga

I imagine that Toriyama wanted to end it after each major arc. I mean by the end of the Frieza arc, he had Goku dead until he had to retcon it for the next series of arcs/sagas, finally sticking it with his suicide mission on with Cell on Planet Namek. It was like the editors or the readers would ...

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement, Pre-, & Post-Release Discussion Thread


Seems like they fixed the character selection menu and added all stages to local multiplayer.
Props to the team. I was already wondering if we would've have to wait for a sequel to get that.


If they follow the Xenoverse 2 model, Sparking Zero will pretty much be it. Kind of wish they gave us ...

I would assume that I'd have to do one playthrough before I can explore the other what-if's


Nope, keep it at normal difficulty & you can unlock the what-ifs if you satisfy the alternate conditions which can be chalked to beating your opponent(s) fast & keeping your hp high.

Sparking Zero's story mode skims through a lot of the story. Less than an hour in, I'm already at the Buu Saga.


Goku's is the longest. 5 hours while the others were under 2, Goku Black's is under an hour. This is assuming you do all of the what ifs for each and watch the cut-scenes ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 8 - Official Discussion Thread


Reading some of the takes in these threads, I'm left with one question:

What exactly are people expecting from a new series, if not to expand on the lore and world-building of previous series?

It feels like 2015 all over again when there were complaints about Beerus removing "agency" from ...

What bothered me more is that the story mode is essentially a slideshow.

Eh BT2 had lots of standing around and talking for their cutscenes

This is better and worse at the same time

Is it fair to conclude that this game was likely rushed to coincide with the release of Daima , as well as the franchise’s 40th anniversary?


Yeah. Story Mode is ridiculous + slide show + roster is lame + lots of game breaking bugs that people use. It's clearly the game wasn't finished ...

Toriyama unfortunately died this year too, so there had to be a lot of pressure.

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement, Pre-, & Post-Release Discussion Thread

I got to say, I am disappointed in the story mode. They put in so much effort into Goku's saga, but left a lot on the cutting room floor for the others.

Spoilers Ahead:
For example, in Gohan's saga you have Gohan Black with a character model & all, but in another what if, he fights Super Buu ...

Cause he knows he has to ride the password fish to be able to enter/leave the Demon Realm. It kinda comes down to the old "why didn't the fellowship ride the eagles to Mordor?" thing. Because that wouldn't make for a very good story.


Mostly because it would have tipped off the enemy to where ...

Because Earth was clearly in the Galactic Army's database & radar and would be chosen at some point for resell. Goku being there just upped the time table.

There is a strain of jealously among certain corners of the community that are mad that they weren't chosen to head up what we now know as DB Super.

Had to quit the game just as I was at the final battle in story mode. I was making content on it and got copyright claimed, they turned down my repeals so I just moved on to another game. Kind of frustrating to put all that work in. Oh well.

Re: Toyotaro must stop copying kishimoto

Nothing is original. Dragonball borrows from stories that came before it, and it will draw elements from other stories currently out as it continues. It's all about the execution at the end of the day. Look at Black Clover, you can point out all of the stereotypical shonen stuff in it and still find ...

Doesn't he specifically infect people via blood?


Hard to say, he was hurting people to get to them easier, but we saw him infect people without hurting them like he did with Gohan.
Besides, didn't #16 had blood when Cell crushed his head?


Nah, just a combination of unleaded gas & Cabernet ...
