Oooooo! WHat if Mira does this in the middle of the story and forces us to witness it (You know, if we have a forced loss fight against him again)
My mistake, New Namek' destruction by Mira took place on Age 851, one year after Dragon Ball Xenoverse and one year before Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 events.
You gave me false hope for beautiful destruction. That cuts deep man!

It can still happen. Just flashbacks. It's been two years anyway, so it'd be a good fill-in for what they were doing.

I guess lots of game sequels seem to place the events two years later... such as Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. Any theoretical theories on that? :think:

While there are notable exceptions to that rule, I suppose developers don't want to completely create new worlds to explore. It's time-saving to build upon previous assets and add choice original locations little by little. There's also the familiarity angle to be played with: You can change just enough and keep the game fresh, staying in the same generation or risk hoping everyone enjoys a changed environment enough by the in-game decades. There's an argument for both methods.

Yeah, in the Heroes trailers he's taking on SSJ4's in base. THEN he goes Super Saiyan 3 out of nowhere. Be afraid XD
Well considering SSJ Bardock is playable in XV by unlocking him in a PQ I'd say the chances are high.

could you imagine they actually make Time Breaker Bardock Goku and just completely blow away everyone's expectations. I mean I want Time Breaker Bardock in but I would just love if they flipped the script like that. Then we couldn't rely on Goku to be the hero either. Although 99% thhis wont happen

That would be amazing. Or there's two Masked Saiyans, one Bardock and the other Goku. That'd confuse our custom and Trunks sooooo much. :P

I really hope they don't overpower TB Bardock in this game like they did in Heroes. An Oozaru form for it would be all I'm willing to see of him. Not SS3.

If that's all you want, then all you want is fanservice, rather than an actual coherent story. And of course those aren't mutually exclusive; you could have a coherent story with "shine" moments! But if a story is perfectly coherent (and I'm really not seeing any compelling arguments that this one is anything but, despite constantly recurring, really poorly reasoned, attempts to argue otherwise), and you're bemoaning the lack of "shine" moments as a reason for the story's poor quality, then you're letting your thirst for "shine" moments obfuscate your ability to detect basic storytelling when it's right in front of you.

Masked Saiyan is the least of my concerns if Beerus is in the story again.

Really? The Beerus part was probably my favourite bit of Xenoverse's story. The way he couldn't be controlled but there was a bit of tension coz his ears kept twitching and then he is like just come out Demigra I see you there. Things got a bit more meaningless after that but that part was great. We also got an alternate way for Beerus getting pissed off as Vegeta saved that pudding by going Super Saiyan lol.

I'm just worried he's gonna be around and give me this lingering thought that he's stronger than everyone else.

Well in the last game he just kind of pissed off and said meh you can handle it. I get peoples gripe with Beerus being stronger than everyone else, but he never has stepped in to interfere yet. In BoG he was gonna destory the earth, in RoF he couldn't care less about Freeza (although Whis cared enough to rewind time) and in Xenoverse he didn't really care either leaving it to you. Sure Beerus is strongest but that doesn't mean he will just step in.

Xenoverse 2 will ship in Japan later than in Europe and the US. A total reversal to what happened with the first game.

You won't have a lingerng thought, you'll KNOW he's stronger then everybody. Asidef rom the other GoD and their attendents he is the strongest character you'll see in the game, and that probably won't change for a while.

Also, regarding his scene with Demigra, that was unintentionally hilarious to me. "TIME TO DESTROY THE WO- Oh, and I see you there in the clown make up. You thought I was your bitchm but really you're mine"

Makes sense, the game did 3 million and only about 150ish thousand of those were Japan.

I got me thinking, I wonder if Sonny Strait will dub Time Breaker Bardock, and how he would use his voice for it. :think:

I pre-ordered the Collector's Edition for the PlayStation 4. I need that figure in my life.

I gotta hold off from playing the game when it comes out though. I got exams around that time and I need to focus. This is going to sound incredibly selfish... but I hope the game gets delayed so that it comes out after I have my exams. :twisted: :lol:

Future Warrior lost his mind (and probably his life) by deciding to face that Time Breaker member... :P
