"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE" Official Discussion Thread

[EXBadguy]

People still believe Famitsu? This is a company that gives the worst games 39/40. I know this game will mostly get 7s and 8s mostly.

[Hellspawn28]

I will play the game for myself before I judge any reviews unless the game does suck major balls.

Not just any balls, dragon ballz.

[Lord Beerus]

Famitsu review score is out: 7/8/8/7 or 30/40

worse than BoZ which got 8s across the board

What bollocks. But this was to be expected as Famitsu don't care for competitive fighters and have an absurd hard-on for JRPG's.

I'm still hyped for Xenoverse.

[Lozjudai]

I stopped to trust famitsu when they gave Final Fantasy XIII-2 40/40

[Careless Saiyajin]

What this game has to offer in terms of mechanics and new story mode/way of playing warrants a prediction that when we get our hands on this game it will please us, particularly more so if you give it a comparison to recent games. The hype is on.

Chris Sabat is always so open to his fans and a generally good guy. I've seen how he treats his fans and nobody can be perfect all of the time but he's an alright fellow. I will be sure to check that out.

It has been reported that there are frame drops, when many characters exist on one screen, on ps3/xb360.

I hope somehow that the framerate is 60fps on both versions, at least for the 1V1 fights. The Network Test was clearly 30, but I don't really want any difference between the PS3-PS4 versions other than resolution.

Which is an issue with every MMO in existence. Luckily it's not going to have major impact and they still have almost a month to fix it. Even then, patches can be applied later. Xenoverse won't suffer nearly as much because, at most, only 6 players will be on screen during battles. Unlike a number of MMO's where you can end up anywhere between 20-40 or more.

Xenoverse, like any game, will have a number of minor issues. However this isn't going to be a very big one and won't affect gameplay too much because the environments aren't cluttered and there's a limited number of people that can appear in matches. Though the hub city of TokiToki may suffer more to support the number of players, this is as easily fixed with instances and servers. Loss of frame rate is a minor grievance so long as it doesn't impact the actual battles, and it doesn't appear as if it will break the battle system.

Even if it did impact the battle system right now, with it being noticed and pointed out, NamBan still has almost 4 weeks to correct the issue. So, none too worried here.

Oh no, game frame rate drops when on much older tech, what kind of dark magic is this? /sarcasm

Just some old and current dbz scores from Famitsu for perspective. Please note that the reasoning behind the score aka review of the game is more important than the score itself.

Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit (PS3/360) – 9/8/8/8 (33/40)
Dragon Ball: Raging Blast (PS3/360) – 9/8/8/8 (33/40)
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (Wii) – 9/8/8/8 (33/40)
Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z (PS3/360/Vita) – 8/8/8/8 (32/40)
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (PS2) – 8/8/8/8 (32/40)
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 (PS2) – 8/7/8/8 (31/40)
Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 (PS3/X360) – 8/8/8/7 – (31/40)
Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi (PS3/360) – 7/8/8/8 (31/40)
Dragon Ball Xenoverse (PS4/PS3/XONE/360) – 7/8/8/7 (30/40)
Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo (Wii) – 6/6/5/6 (23/40)

BOZ the same as B3 or BT3? Laughable. Infact, lol.

[Tsufuru]

ultimate tenkaichi and battle of z lol.

xenoverse is better than both in everyway.

[Tsufuru]

ppl on gamefags actualy believe xenoverse is worse than battle of z and UT cuz of the score......

[DBZAOTA482]

ultimate tenkaichi and battle of z lol.

xenoverse is better than both in everyway.

Xenoverse is not even out yet (never played the demo) and I'm already questioning how BoZ can be seen as better by anyone in anyway. Only 1 combo, terrible graphics, mandatory co-op, no local multiplayer, lame roster etc.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Meh, I rarely trust reviewers. I like to judge things from my own experiences.

Too much water, when you only have to surf like less than 10 times to beat the game. -_-

Famitsu are a fuckin joke. Never take their reviews with any kind of weight.

Or maybe their reviewers are judging by a different criteria than you?

[Lord Beerus]

Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit (PS3/360) – 9/8/8/8 (33/40)
Dragon Ball: Raging Blast (PS3/360) – 9/8/8/8 (33/40)
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (Wii) – 9/8/8/8 (33/40)
Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z (PS3/360/Vita) – 8/8/8/8 (32/40)
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (PS2) – 8/8/8/8 (32/40)
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 (PS2) – 8/7/8/8 (31/40)
Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 (PS3/X360) – 8/8/8/7 – (31/40)
Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi (PS3/360) – 7/8/8/8 (31/40)
Dragon Ball Xenoverse (PS4/PS3/XONE/360) – 7/8/8/7 (30/40)
Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo (Wii) – 6/6/5/6 (23/40)

So in Famitsu eyes: Raging Blast > Budokai Tenkaichi 3, Battle Of Z > Budokai 3 and Ultimate Tenkaichi > Xenoverse

Good God. Someone needs to pull the plug on Famitsu if this is how they score games.
