"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

SSJ2 Adult Gohan. Was he in the first game?

Yes. It was available for him on the Movie 10 costume.

[Captain Strawberry]

If I may, when the portal comes out. Can you guys please say to add swords?

Many thanks in advance.

Did anyone find any new character vs interactions yet? I wonder which ones does Hit and Goku Black have.

[MajinMan]

Goku Black is really, really fun to use. I got matched up with a pretty decent player online, and I ended his life with a crazy finishing combo. I love how you can link super and ultimate attacks with combos now. It used to be really difficult and buggy in XV1. Anyone that complains and calls this Xenoverse 1.5 has clearly not played it or is nitpicking to the extreme.

Edit: Also, 100 PQs is better than 55 PQs. So much more content.

[Turambar]

Better hit detection. Better targeting. The ability to hit groups with ki blasts and strikes. More combos. More moves. Fixed Master system. Better art and animation.
More characters.

It is about as good of a sequel as we could have hoped for.

All of this praise is good to hear. Looks like I'll be getting this as soon as I can.

However, but this praise is all about things we were Expecting from Dimps. The gameplay mecahnics for combat and PvP were improvements we were promised because of how poor they were in XV1. So yes it's an improvement on the last game, but that's to be expected of them. Even shoehorning in Black and U6 fighters was kind of expected because we'd already seen them in Super, though Black admittedly was more last minute because he's more recent. However, Black and Zamasu could've easily been put in the later DLC after really fleshing them out and waiting for this current arc of Super to be over and put more detailed attention on the U6 fighters.

As a DB fan, I am excited everytime, there is a new game. But yeah, it's what can be expected from Japanese franchise game.
Improved gameplay and salvaged content with half assed additions. The story mode is bad.

I'm tempted to bite the bullet and give XV2 on PC a shot even if my laptop is a bit below the requirements. Maybe if I keep the settings on low and don't do anything too heavy I'll be ok? I'll decide later today. I have till tomorrow.

For some reason I didn't remember this when you first asked about system requirements, but Steam does have a decent refund system for games. As long as you buy a game through Steam itself, you have a certain amount of time (in terms of play hours) to try it out and still be able to request a refund. I don't remember the exact time limit (might be like 2 hours?), but it should be more than enough to find out for sure if your system will run the game or not.

Any voice actor confirmations for the Super characters?

Schemmel and Vale are Black and Trunks, While somebody named Aaron Roberts is Hit. The DLC characters are unknown.

Since this game was the one who introduced the movie characters in the main history, i think it's really dumb they didn't go all the way and put every one of them, if they don't put Hildergan or Dr Wheelo i don't mind since they would have been non-playable bosses likely, but was there really a reason to not put Android 13 , Bojack, Garlic Jr and Hatchiyak??? and what about Baby??? we already had Super 17 and Omega Shenron in the first one and he can't even get in the sequel, they don't even have to put all of his forms, also what a lot of people have said already of Freeza, Cell and Buu missing forms from the original timeline even though they didn't use them in the main story of this game, i really hate to say it but it really feels like Xenoverse 1.5.

Roberts voiced Sunny from Toriko and numerous other anime characters, his most recent being Grimbsy Keane from "Black Butler: Book of Murder"

Thank you so much! I checked their website; it is "under 2 hours of gameplay" and within 14 days of purchase. Two hours is definitely more than enough time for me to figure out how well it'll run on my laptop. (My big worry is "What if it starts buffering during battle?"; hopefully it plays alright).

I'll post back in the thread after I learn how my laptop does with the game.

Or we can be cynical. Ha ha.

So I just saw on the main site that apparently orders of the Collector's Edition ended up being delayed getting to retailers. Has there been any word on a similar delay for just the regular 'Day One' editions? Cuz I ordered mine from Amazon back on Sep. 22nd I think it was, and it still hasn't shipped today even though the game released today. Going to my Amazon order page too, it seems to be indicating both that the game is 'preparing for shipment' and expected to ship out on Oct. 31...as well as that it could BE here as soon as Oct. 31 or as late as Nov. 4. So...that's a thing. An extremely confusing and annoying thing.

I mean, granted, I can't even play it until Nov. 10th or so (when I get my PS4), but it's the principle of the thing.

I didn't pre-order. I just walked into the nearest GameStop, asked for the day 1 edition and got it. So I never had to worry about shipments from sites or companies.

Hello, everybody! I'm back! Well, for now, anyway. I'm still trying to avoid most spoilers, but I'll share my thoughts so far. I cleared the battle tutorial (duh), missions 1-15 (I died on the final Freeza Arc mission), and Parallel Quests 1-6. My character is currently Level 18, and she should probably be around 25 by now.

The gameplay is absolutely AMAZING. I thought Xenoverse had good combos, but wow. I mean, WOW. The story is intriguing; I like many of the small details such as the movies being alternate timelines. The new PQs also seem interesting, and I can imagine that the new outfits are going to look great. Can't wait to play more tomorrow!

Oh, and a side note; not disappointed with Goku Black, at all.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Unfortunately I don't really have that option. The only place in my town that could conceivably get it is Wal-Mart, and seeing as how they didn't carry the first game at all that I recall...I could head out of town and try to pic it up, but that's a bit of a hassle too. It just kinda irks me that it hasn't even shipped today. The first game shipped out at least on day one, even if I didn't have it for a few more days.

[Kanassa]

Hello, everybody! I'm back!

You've changed, man! You sold out!

Yeah, apparently Frieza and Cooler work really well together. Who would of thunk it?
