Some PQ in this game is really a pain in the ass.Especially if you're low level and not a Saiyan.Take PQ 47 for example.Getting spammed by Super Kamehameha from Gohan and Goku on Kaioshin's place in very annoying and frustrating.

[ZombieVito]

Putting the BS RNG aside, this is my favorite DB game I've played.

I haven't even played online yet.

Don't. It's a fucking mess.

In short then, the update that is around 500 Mb did some unspecified and unsignificant things.
Am I right?

Pretty much, yeah.

If you want to power level a new character just take him to the Broly PQ where you need to grab Dragon Balls and turn them in to the time machine asap. It boosts you up I believe 7-10 levels at a time. Do it about three or four times then spend the rest of your time in Oozaru Festival to power level the rest of the way. Should hit be in the 60's within a hour or less

That or it set it up for another update.
..although it isn't looking that way since the Steam version's update was only 9MB.

Afterimage Strike and Instant Transmission are your friends. The computer is always going to be better at spamming than you are, so you actually have to work at getting good for some of these.

Well, unless you have the DLC and can just equip Tenshinhan's Z-Soul that makes Kamehameha moves pass through you. Absolutely trivializes most PQs.

To be honest if you have to relay on that (DLC to make the game easier) that's bad game design. Though I just bull shat though the the PQS I couldn't beat by abusing the online system , but I think that's even worse game design.

Probably a subconscious decision on my part since I have not once used that Z-Soul.

...that or I'm just OP. XD

You don't have to rely on it. It's obviously a lot easier on the spam-a-thon PQs but people were completing those before the DLC was released. It's just that if you have the DLC there's not much reason not to use it.

I think i did something good yesturnday in the PS4 version.

Last time, i have a really bad run on the PS3 as a Saiyan, but now on the PS4...It went better than my first run!
I focused on my Stamina, Ki, Health, and Basic Attacks now on my female human.
I beat the Android part with ease by using my supers in my own attack style.
I beat the last Cell part by brute melee super force on him and beat him at the Mid to high Lv 30s.
I beat the Mira mission before the annoying stage in the game in Lv. 38. That's insane and you know what? I am like a BOSS.
I beat the annoying Buu stage after spending 2 items, taking little damage due to my build, and kicked the little buu's butt!

The result = Like a BOSS. That was my greatest achievement i have ever owned to this day. Beating a boss with a low level, but you can still win.
Just wow. Undyne is on a roll now. She's in the Buu Saga. And i still feel good after all of that.

By the way, did you do something like this before? If so, then congratulations.

Update: I also beat the whole Buu saga without using Any Healing Items. Like a Boss.
It makes me wanting me to start a petition with GT Pack 3 in XENOVERSE where i could sent the message of a 100,000 players to Namco Bandai to make the DLC. I was planning to have a request of 3 charactrers, Majuub, Bulla and Adult Goten. Plus an extra 4 story missions and 7 costumes.

[BlazingBarrrager]

So apparently out of the blue my Steam version of the game got another update. Anyone else experience this?

Yeah there was some weird very minor update recently. I don't know if it means anything, but other game companies have updated games in the past to hint at an upcoming sequel announcement. Just a speculation.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Having a pretty boring day overall, so I decided to pop this back in for the first time in a long time. Definitely fun right off the bat, but man is it taking a little bit to remember how in the heck to do everything.

Edit: Hey, what do you know, managed to finally finish off Jaco as a mentor, which just leaves...Elder Kai...if I can ever get him to spawn again. *sigh* Oh how I missed you, RNG...

I have the platinum trophy.

Playing the game that much almost made me hate it. Do you know how many times I tried to get the X100 Big Bang Kamehameha? DO YOU KNOW?!
Anyway, I hope we get a sequel so I have more crap to do. Ahaha.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Oh trust me, I know. There's a very good reason I haven't played the game since like...late last year. It's a fun game, and it's really kind of disappointing that rather than one or two major flaws, it's a multitude of tiny ones that kind of detract from the experience. The one major one being the freaking RNG of death.

I didn't even know what RNG meant before this game. Now I know. And now I loathe.

At any rate, I have managed to get Elder Kai, and even got to the second ranking of his training (with no clear idea how it ranked up that far that fast really though, since it went from like nothing to level 2 out of nowhere). To try and make this less arduous though, I'm using his RNG increase prediction to try and get some other skills I'd been missing from Parallel Quests. Also taking along #18 and Towa with me each time because apparently he responds better to you using female NPC's in your team. Unfortunately it seems even his RNG powers aren't infallible though - I'm still not getting the one piece of clothing I need for certain outfits and instead getting pieces I already had. So that's still gonna be hell.

[Darknat]

I personally see a lot of potential on Xenoverse but personally the experience I have with it ruined the game.

I pre-order and never received my SS4 Vegeta DLC, and they don't even sell it which I was willing to buy anyway. That was a bad start, but it was just one character, so nothing major there.

However, what I really didn't like was the lack of options for normal battles. It's nice having a created character and all, but if you want to play with other characters the game is very limited in that regard not even giving you the option to put infinite time or difficulty settings. The IA is retarded most of the time and spams a lot. Battles against the IA become really boring. I suppose the excuse here is that it's more online oriented, but that doesn't mean they can just do a bad IA and calling it a day.

The need of having to travel the city each time you want to do anything at all is also a big problem.

The big difficulty spike on Story Mode was really Annoying. I don't mind having hard difficulty on missions, or even on story mode, but the issue here is that a lot of the time you have to stop Story mode to go gather some experience or buy certain items.

I suppose that once you have enough experience and items you can start story mode again and enjoy a bit more, but that's bad design.

Connection issues and the RNG are also problems on this game.



I really hope Xenoverser 2, if it comes, will improve a lot of things. I like the Sparking series, specially Sparking Meteor, and Xenoverse is by far a better start than the first Sparking gmae was, so my hopes that they get something really good on next game are high.
