Unfortunately, I think you're asking for a bit more than what these games actually. They're supposed to emulate mmos. So a lot of what I've seen of the game looks par for the course. At least as far as the Xenoverse games go.

The number of times Toriyama/big Dragon Ball(tm) has written over something else is so large that it shouldn't be surprising if this version of AGE 1000 conflicts with DBO or XV2.
We have how many versions of Super? How many post Boo continuations that conflict in some fashion (GT, Super, Neko Majin, DBO, XV, Heroes, Daima)?
The original manga is sacred, and the anchor which every other story will gravitate around. Some stories may have continuity with each other, however they won't ALL have continuity amongst each other, but they certainly all will have continuity with the original manga.
That actually made me feel better, in the sense that I might enjoy this game more if I just turn off my brain into such inconsistencies.
Are we too old to enjoy new Dragon Ball movies/series?

Guys, I'm going to be straight with you. If you feel the show has gotten 'silly' ... it hasn't. You're just 'too old for this shit'. Seriously, 95% of the people in those boards do not fit the target demographic of the show, so don't expect the show to be 'everything you hoped for'. I'm referring to the people here who expect Super to be rich with dark moments, serious storytelling, meaningful characters etc etc. It won't. It's a show for kids. A show for kids being kids. Everyone in those boards has a manchild in him/her, clamoring to get out, and that's fine. But having unrealistic expectations (such as believing the show grew up alongside you) is naïve at best. Honestly, do you take seriously a story where the supposed God of Destruction halts his urges to blow up stuff in order to eat ice cream sundae? That's the show's silliness at full force, take it for what it is. The show hasn't matured one bit, so don't expect it too. Again, I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm saying *that* is DB and always will be.

But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

That's a Xenoverse 2 trailer, so here.
Oops. My bad.
