"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

How do we know Bardock doesn't receive a huge power boost? You're basically saying the entirety of Xenoverse cannot take place because people like Nappa or Freeza are too weak.

I didn't say that. I said why was Bardock saved and personally brainwashed by Towa given all the more powerful warriors across history who did far more than Bardock. Why didn't she chose Broly, the Legendary Super Saiyan? Why didn't she save Kid Buu from the Spirit Bomb and brainwash him? Why didn't she save Freeza from Resurrection 'F' or even Mecha Freeza? Why didn't she pull Cell before Gohan killed him? What was so special about Bardock, a no named low class warrior other than he's Goku's daddy?

Given Broly's track record, I would not pick him as a puppet. Buu is in the same category.
Freeza and Cell can't be trusted (though Demigra used all four of them).
If you wanted Saiyans who would work for you willingly, I would have had Nappa & Raditz instead. They have nothing to lose and I'm sure they would LOVE to get back at Goku and Vegeta.

Since Bardock is enslaved against his will, I don't cooperation is an issue, especially since no one has shown to be able to fight Mira's mind control, at least in Xenoverse. Although, Kid Buu maybe too crazy to control other than just dropping him somewhere and picking him up once he finished destroying the planet.

So I saw that this is gonna have mini games? Sign me up!

And I will never get the appeal of Time Breaker Bardock. Of all the powerful warriors, Towa choses some random low class Saiyans whose only notably contribution to history is being Goku's dad and getting killed personally by Freeza.

Besides being arguably one of the most popular characters in the franchise, that's the point.

So just as a memory refresher, what are the pre-order bonuses for this game again? Just off the top of my head, I remember the early access to the Super version of Future Trunks, I believe Goku Black, and Mercenary Tao's pillar as a 'vehicle' item - was that it?

Yep, that's it.

Do the pre-orders cost more money than buying it "normally" after it's released?

NEW TRAILER! AND IT CONFIRMS ANIMATED CUTSCENES ARE BACK!

This game is beautiful! And Mira speaks more!

It doesn't confirm more cut scenes than one, does it? How many were there in Xenoverse 1? I never really played the game much...

I don't know about the rest of the world, but the retailer in Czech Republic I preordered the game from has it for 20 % less than is the standard in my currency.
So I get it for 49 dollars instead of 60. But depends on Sony, resolving my issue, as it looks that I will probably switch PS4 for XBOX and will cancel the preorder.

I'm talking about stuff specifically in the game itself mind you, not stuff like the steelcase we had last time, or a figure, or anything like that. Also, is any of it dependent upon where you order it from?

DBS Trunks is only if you get Deluxe Edition (at Gamestop?), The rest are correct though.

What, so you don't get Future trunks from DBS if you don't order from Gamestop? Jeez, isn't there one way to get all the in-game extras?

DBS Trunks it's an anticipated access, which means that you can unlock it in the game at some point with no need to pay (I assume). And it is promoted by Bandai Namco, so it's not a Gamestop exclusive. There isn't even Gamestop here in Spain and you get your Trunks no matter where you preorder your Deluxe edition.

[MCDaveG]

From what info I have, I will get the Trunks from normal day-one edition preorder. Was even asured by the seller himself.

Maybe her magic wasn't strong enough to control someone stronger than Bardock at the time she brainwashed him. Plus, Bardock is a Saiyan, and Saiyans are said to have bottomless dormant powers, so they can take him while he is a weak fighter & then turn him into a really powerful warrior.

Either way, we will most likely get an explanation in XV2 about why Bardock was chosen out of all people. Don't forget that the idea of Masked Bardock is taken from Dragon Ball Online, where Towa & Mira were interested in collecting Goku's DNA, and Bardock is the father of Goku. In XenoVerse, this wasn't their objective, but we don't know if anything has changed in XenoVerse 2, so let's wait & see.

[EXBadguy]

Just seeing the tiny bits of the story pumps me up! Say... should we call the story Dragonball Online: Kai?

[Thanos]

Does anyone know if the digital pre-order includes Goku Black rather than Super Trunks? I like him, but I feel like he should just be a costume for Future/Time Patrol Trunks. Also, Goku Black is fucking awesome.

She was manipulating people as strong as Fat Buu in Xenoverse. So it isn't power. Plus, just because you're a Saiyan doesn't mean you're special or have bottomless dormant powers, look at Raditz. Out of the entire race, only Vegeta, Goku, and their hybrid children have bottomless dormant powers. For everyone else, being 4000 on the power scale was considered an elite.

Thanks for elaborating. Reason why I said GameStop is at least in the U.S it's the only one of the two first party ways to get the deluxe edition the other being digitally on the console store so I just assumed it was the same with the other countries except with their GameStop equivalent.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Yeah, so far as I can tell, someplace like Amazon will net you the same stuff from the Day One edition. I ordered from GameStop last time just to be sure, but I'll probably just go with Amazon this time around.

I'm so, so sad , I tried to be optimistic but I can't anymore... I don't even care how this was leaked, I just... can't.

Well damn, I wish the time breaker versions were just variations instead of their own character slots. And it looks like we won't be able to have Goku go from base to Blue either

[Zenkashuu]

Why does PC get it later? D:

Since devs primarily make video games for living room consoles, they usually take time to tweak the PC version to make sure that it runs without any hiccups.

That's not the issue here.
