A new update today or tomorrow will reduce the load times. Hopefully this is the update that will allow us to use the time machine as I have a lot of side quests I didn't do.

Sucks the update came out when the bulk of my playtime was already done, cause those load screens were annoying. Seems I only missed 1 side mission in the Buu Saga too.

One complaint I have is I dont know why Goten isn't playable normally. The fusions I kinda get why, but Goten in particular they gave you a section for him in the overworld. I don't get it. I know he's underleveled but I wanted to play as my boy.

Also grindng in this game is a real drag. I dont like it. They shouldnt constantly make the same 5 enemies lock onto you cause theres no point in fighting them for the miniscule amount of exp you get. If there were mor variety of enemies and just normal exp amounts (and an upgrade or something so inactive party members get full exp instead of half)

18 was cake for me, especially with Big Bang Attack. Jeice/Burter was annoying purely cause it was 2v1.

Kid Buu though? Spams supers constantly, turns you into candy, stuns you, does that move where the camera goes super high up, all in a row lmao.

Yeah it took me a few tries to beat it. It was hard but still fun!

Anyone have patch notes for the new update, or a screenshot of what a PS4 would say in "Update History"? I'm on Xbox & they don't have a notes section for updates for some reason.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

I was trying to win without spaming anything but after the 3rd time losing I just overused Big Bang attack. That's probably the best attack in the game.

Oh yeah! That DID happen with the opening cinematic not playing on Xbox One. I thought that that was strange that it didn't happen. Also, I didn't have any trouble accessing those first 2 sub stories, but it's good that they fixed a bug if some people did.

I think the Batlle power system shouldn't be there. Piccolo fused with Kami had a Battle Power like 5.7M and Goku base 7.6M which is a silly thought. Unless they were retconning the power levels to low ball them but the cutscenes in the Frieza saga confirm the Battle Powers of Frieza to be the same, and the battle powers of Goku to be the same. I would be fine with the game low balling the characters Battle Power, I enjoy some low balls. If they had base Goku in Cell saga be something like 19M that would be fine in my opinion but Piccolo at 5.6M? that is really ridiculous

Can’t we not start power level talk? BP doesn’t even do anything

I am just stating a small gripe I have with the game. I am not the first one to talk about this

It is a little silly, yes. I was just thinking that, Great Saiyaman has 8M, which would be twice stronger than Namek Goku, in-game by the Buu arc I have most of them at 9 or 10 M at best. I noticed it works great up until those 3 years training for the androids. There was no real growth, not in those 3 years or after the ROSAT.

Also, full-course meal do not make me stronger as I thought it would. You'd have to have over 5 meals on a row to notice some growth.

This stupid details seem an easy fix, really.

Yeah, I would be fine with low balls for characters it's just these are too low and Piccolo as a super Namekian is not even in the 100M? I would have either enjoyed them not do it or just try to be a bit better. I understand it's hard to actually assign power levels to the Buu saga and Cell saga but still

I don't think the game does but I am kind of hoping it ends with the BoG Beerus vs Goku fight. I think the games graphical style, game play, and scope would fit perfectly with the Super Saiyan God fight. It could be so pretty and a great ending

It doesn’t. It ends after Kid Buu.

Yeah I thought so. I just was hoping to either end with Uub or Beerus. Kid Buu is a fine place to end it, kind of weird from a game perspective sense he isn't the strongest character you fight (since like Buuhan, Buutenks, and Super Buu all come before) which is part of the reason I thought Beerus had a shot but nonetheless Kid Buu is fine. Thanks for confirming though
