Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!
Spoiler:
Doctor. wrote:I've explained before, I'll just paraphrase myself.
Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.
This game just keeps getting BETTER! More characters, more missions, more costumes, it's great!
I noticed a lot of hate about this but I'm excited regardless
Out of all the characters added, I'm looking to see GT Gohan, GT Goten, the movie villains (Garlic, Slug, Turles, 13, Cooler, Bojack and Janemba) plus normal SSJ Gogeta. That'd be a perfect roster for me. Anyone else like General Rildo and any what-if forms are just a bonus.
A part of me would like SSJ4 Broly, but a part of me is afraid how the Broly fanboys will react....
1. The missions are mainly thing that interest me. There seem to be quite a fair few as well.
2. Not a big fan of GT/Jaco. With all the Z characters in the game and my CaC, it's pretty good already for me.
3. Already have my favourite costumes from Z in the game.
4. Similarly, all my favourite moves are already in the game and I basically know what moves my character will have.
Anyone else in the same boat?
I would really like for PSN avatars to be added with Xenoverse. I doubt they're gonna do that though.

If the DLC doesn't interest you, then just don't buy it. You already seem very content with what the game has to offer so you don't have to feel obliged to buy the DLC packs or the Season pass.

Yeah, that's the thing. I'm extremely happy with the current content. The amount of new missions we could be getting seems pretty impressive though. With not much else on the PS4 currently enticing me, I might be forced to take the plunge on the DLC.
One thing that bothers me, is the black hair. I wish it was just jet black like in Burst Limit, or with minimal highlights. Other than that, loving these character models.

Damn XV will have a ton of awesome content for it, I kinda feel bad missing out on it but buying a new console and the other costs are just a bit too much for one game alone.
Main game - $60/£40
Season Pass - $30/£25 (I guess)
PS4 - $400/£320
PS Plus - $60/£40 (full 12 months)
I could avoid the cost of buying the console and online subscription if I played on PC but I've always been a console gamer and even still $550/£425 is excessive for one game. I've got 360 and PS3 but don't want to play it on a last-gen console so I'll just wait towards October/November 2015 when PS4 should have more exclusives and interesting multiplatforms, and then, it'll make the purchase worth it.
Zelda Wii U and Xenoblade Chronicles X are the two games of 2015 that I want to play even more than Xenoverse so I'm willing to wait.
FUNimation 2015 Releases I want:
- Kai 2.0 on Blu-ray

And it is a step up, for the first time after the PS2-Era, it seems like we're finally getting a "Complete" DBZ game for once instead of a side-show fighting game with no personality.

BN wanted to milk the Spike cash cow dry before the arrival of the next gen consoles. Hence why Spike developed three Dragon Ball games back to back from 2009 to 2011. They damn near killed the licenses' credibility with their mediocrity, ambition and desperate attempts at trying to pander to the Tenkaichi fanboys.
