"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE" Official Discussion Thread

[EA575]

Parralel Quests are like crack, man. I keep trying to get a Z rank in all of them. Right now I'm at the Freeza missions.

Did anyone notice that this game has a bit more swearing then DB normally does? I don't really care since "Damn", "Bastard"" and "Hell" are minor but I do notice that they say them more often then the uncut Funimation does. I hope Namco Bandai America didn't add more swearing just to make the game sound more mature and edgy.

So when Funimation dub adds cuss words, there are complaints, but when the Japan dub does the same thing, it's normal? I don't get it. Plus, DBZ isn't Sonic or Mario.

Japanese doesn't have curse words in the same way that English does.

Oh, yes they do. You just don't hear it a lot in Shonen Jump titles, or shonen titles in general. I'll also like to point out that Dragon Ball characters do say "Damn it", "Bastard", and "hell" quite a few times. We're used to them saying "Darn it", "why you", and even "other dimension/world" (LOL) in the previous dub.

Is there differences about the PS3 version to the PS4 one?

Resolution and framerate stability with 6 characters at once (hopefully that'll be fixed). PS4 online play requires PS+

Thank you

How do you make a second file? Is it possible to have two characters?

Yes - I think when you first start up the game and you click into your character, if you just go down and click an unused slot - it should start from the beginning again.

It plops you right where you old character was. You have everything from your original character unlocked. I'm not sure how story missions work, just been doing PQ's

So does anyone know how to unlock SSJ Bardock?

Don't you unlock him right along with Bardock?

I think he means that Japan doesn't use the same cuss words as the Americans do, which is BS to me. France uses the same cuss words and get bleeped for it, German, Turkey, and the list goes on, but when Hentai World uses cuss words, there's no problem? It's the same thing with dubbing problems, when the Americans dub a japanese song, it gets hated, however when Hentai World does the same, it gets loved?

Sometimes people praise the World of Hentai a bit too much.

Nope, you get base Bardock when you complete the secret saga.

You need to get SSJ Bardock in a PQ I think, I just don't know which one.

In Japanese, context is much more important than the actual word itself, while the opposite is true in English. Just because they have equivalent words does not make them profanities in both languages. As an example,

Imagine someone asks if you’re any good at soccer, and you describe your skills as heta kuso, literally “unskilled excrement.” Depending on your tone of voice, inflection, and other modifiers, it can be as harsh as saying, “I suck ass at soccer,” but could also be taken as the much softer “I stink at it.”

The word itself means very little. It's the context that's important.

I'm really struggling at the part where you have to fight the 6 Cell Jr's then fight evil Gohan.

Is there a particular level you have to be to stand a chance in this? Finding it difficult in the second part when it's basically 3 Cell Jrs up against you and they're all attacking you at once!

[Gyt Kaliba]

Woo-hoo, I just beat the main story mode (you know, barring the post-game stuff). I can easily say that this is both the most fun and one of the hardest times I've ever had playing a DBZ game. All in all, it's one hell of an experience, and I'm eager for another...just hopefully not for a few years now so they can get the most out of development time. I know if we don't get a sequel eventually though, it'll be an utter travesty.

Just wait till you get to the mini Boo much harder

[ShadowDude112]

Hey, I don't have PQ 37 to get Vegetto. It just goes from 36 to 38. Anyone know how to unlock it?

[DarkPrince_92]

So I looked up mods for the PC version, just for the hell of it... and scary stuff. Will NOT play against people online.

[Lord Beerus]

You and me both, brother.

The Parallel Quests are insanely addictive. Even when you Z rank them, you want to try your damndest to outperform your high score.

What kind of things did you see? Dare I ask...

[Big Momma]

Is this game good? I'm considering buying

Best game since the PS2 era.

Even better than Raging Blast 2? Wow

I thought Raging Blast 2 was shit so I'm not the one to ask. But I do like it more than the Tenkaichi games. Right up there with Budokai 3, for me.



In other news, I beat storymode in the XB1 version earlier. It was challenging, but also super fun. I have to work on a project on campus for now, but hopefully I can get Steam up and play it here. A few of you added me on Steam, so hopefully we can get a match going.

[Hellspawn28]

So how you rate this game? 8.5/10 seems to be my rating, I would put the game tie with Budokai 3 on my favorite DBZ gaming list. I wish the lock on system was better and the camera can be annoying as hell when fighting too many characters at once. I really hope for a sequel.

[SSJ God Gogeta]

So mission 54 you unlock the first version of Gohan, last version of Vegetto and SSJ Bardock.

All you need to do is beat all the Saiyans. Have fun!

I'd give it an 8/10. There's no training mode, the opening sucks, the missions can be real cheap to the point where grinding almost feels necessary, and the combo system isn't as in depth as Budokai 3, Shin Budokai or Infinite World but it's one great step into the right direction.

[dbzfan7]

Doing the quest for Super Vegeta 2. Still hate grinding like this. Though I also have almost completed Goku's training, and reached the level 80 cap. Ironically the only thing that's not a grindfest in this games is attribute levels, maxing out to 80 doesn't take that long honestly. I'm at 78 now.

I'd rate Xenoverse a 9/10. Fantastic visuals, unique and fresh story mode, incredibly addictive side quests, great character customization and simple and yet surprisingly deep combat system. The only things that drag down the score are the lack of a proper training mode, the online servers being problematic and roster is a bit hit and miss.
