That would only be usable for Jailbreak'd PS3s, whereas here with the gamesave it's for everyone.

it'd be nice to get the unlocks in the US/JP demos. I'd really not go through the trouble to make an EU account, then DL the demo for a 3rd time.

Some fans on Youtube are bitching about the story. After having the same story over and over again, they try to do a AU story this time and fans already hate it. I can't say I'm surprise since I always remember that most fans hated what if stories.

It's bath and forth to be honest.

One game they're like.
CHANGE THE STORY! MAKE A WHAT IF! MAKE Alt. ENDINGS! JUST NOT THE SAME STORY!
*Game comes out with a different story or no story mode*
WTF -_-. They fucking change the got damn story mode. This story makes no sense. The what if(s) are shitty. Fuck this game. We need a Budokai 3 or Tenkaichi 3 in HD(Despite HD collection out) or a remake of those games.
Not saying that all people are like this on Youtube. Just most of them.

HOWEVER. Game reviewers will say
Y'all already know the story of Dragonball. Nothing new here. Same boring story.
Then *Game comes out with different story*
The game story is a what if. Now I'll have to give this a thumb down because it doesn't help new fans know the true story of Dragonball

I was just playing it and the camera was having trouble focusing on the two characters fighting at the same time, it was as bad as the camera on RB1.

P.S.: I checked up the gamesave (with Bruteforce PS3) and it shows up as Region US so what the f#$% is going on? *sigh* downloading the US demo now.

Edit: I'll try out the gamesave which is apparently now unlocked with Bruteforce and then upload to Mega.

Yeah the camera's biggest issue is lock-on switching to opponents trying to murder you from off screen. It's always too late by time I switch. :|

Just press R1 two times, it will lock to the opponent you're fighting/is attacking you/ is closer to you first.

I wonder say we treating him like "God". But he is well respected in DBZ Gaming. Plus he's one of the GOAT(Greatest of All time) gamer where in comes to games like these(DBZ, Sonic, and others). He tries to fix games and find glitches. Spike even talk to him.

So far I like the game. Especially the music, menus and visuals. They're pretty "90ies arcade-esque".
First I was dissapointed by the gameplay and it's missing depth. Yes, it's an arcade style, multiplayer brawler but I think even games like Anarchy Reigns have more depth. Then again, Battle of Z is pure fun online. I'll buy it, however probably not for the full price.
It's okay, the first match was still fine. I'm outta town right now, but I wanna see if I can get some more of it in before new year's :P And yeah, as totally fun as it is, it's a discount buy. Might even be able to justify 40€ for it.

That works, for the most part, but online isn't always as smooth as it should. I'm not expecting dedicated servers (as much as I'd like that) but 2 ou of 10 matches are virtually unplayable, even with people that seemed to have a decent connection.

I just played the demo and I found it fun. The online is really fun but it gets kind of annoying when you have to wait for like 5 to 10 minutes to play online. The controls were easy to get used to but lacks combos and all that good stuff. Also, the camera seemed kind off sometimes, but other than that I'll buy it, not at full price, but I'll definitely get it when the price goes down :) if any one wants to play online my PSN is cesarcr07

I'm looking forward to see how the whole AU storyline will turn out in this game. I know fans will bitch about it and will be like "Please give us the old story mode back". If they are going to give us the same old story mode again then go full detail on it and give us every battle that happen. Even throw in some battles that never happen like BT2/SN did like Gohan vs. Cell and Freeza in Fusion Reborn. BT3 should have been like that, but we got a super short and lazy story mode instead.

It's called DBZ:BOZ for the PS3 for some weird reason, but DragonBall Z: Battle of Z on the Vita.
Reminds me is there any crossplay for Vita and PS3 confirmed?

DB Xenoverse is not a DBZ simulator with fighting elements, it's a semi competent fighting/action game with DBZ simulation elements.

The English Dubbed version of the trailer, they forgot to put Beerus' name in the description, unlike the Euro version of the trailer.
