"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE" Official Discussion Thread

[dualist]

There were few valid points in there, but it seemed like he focused heavily on what he found negative about the game and seemed like he didn't find any enjoyment out of it. I disagree with the shallow game play, as I find it fairly in depth for the type of game it is. I really was expecting a better score from IGN, but oh well. It seems the DB community as a whole enjoys and I sure as hell do, so that's all that really matters.

I'm stuck at fighting Beerus and Whis. Once I beat Beerus, Whis pretty much spams combos at me non stop. I'm at level 42 BTW!

IGN gave Ultimate Tenkaichi a 7.5 and Battle of Z a 6.6 but Xenoverse only gets a 6.7?....Fuck off...

[Dyno]

2015, guys... Reviews are not to be paid attention anymore.

And besides, some people need to understand that none of the critics are gods, all they do just express their opinion. I say I only see reviews whenever I feel like looking for advice, not for critics controlling what I can or can't buy.

It doesn't really matter anyways, I also don't think they are directly relatable as the reviewers either change or the rubric does ect. We all know Xenoverse is better than Ultimate Tenkaichi pretty much without even explaining it.

IGN review at last. They gave it a 6.7 rating.

Fair review. The reviewer talked about everything from a good standpoint, didn't cry about having to unlock characters, or knock off 5 points because of the freakin menus. And I like how IGN actually got someone who likes the anime and fighters to review this. It makes it a much better and fairer review than their RB2 review.

What are your stats?

They at least gave Burst Limit, and the Raging Blast games the scores they deserve.... also I think they were way too generous with the score of Battle of Zzz....

They did give fair points on Xenoverse. Seriously, I still think we need Burst Limit 2/Budokai 4.

Xenoverse
Battle of Z
Looks like it's the same reviewer.

Let's be honest here: Xenoverse needs a sequel to iron out the kinks. Lack of variety is true: Budokai 3 and Tenkaichi 3 had more to spice up the battling, and they're 1-2 gens behind. I'm fine with the 'unfair' missions, but I'm not fine with worthless teammates that don't scale in stats or AI strength. Xenoverse 2, fix all that and IGN will give a better score.

Budokai 3 and Budokai Tenkaichi 3 were also two iterations later in their respective series, so those games had time to iron out kinks their previous versions had. Xenoverse is a completely new game with completely new assets to work with, so--at least for me--this is them laying out the foundation for later games.
If one was to make a fair comparison, this should be compared to RB1 because that game had new assets, gameplay that isn't rock paper scissors, eventually had a sequel, available on consoles that are still on sale (new), and made by devs who have worked on Dragon Ball games before.

[Michelle91]

I'm not surprise by IGN's review. Besides Xenoverse is getting a lot of love and hype from the fans. We haven't had a DBZ game with this level of hype and good well feed back since 2008. I thought DBZ games were going to be done for if Xenoverse sucks since they went all out with this game.

[Hitiro]

It says a lot when there are wonky lines said by the characters that don't make sense. Doing the Ginyu body swap thing with your character Goku says "We have to get my body back!" Yet Goku is in his body, it's you who doesn't have your original body. Gohan also, later, says you were the guy they were fighting rather than saying that you're the guy that was helping. I'm sure there are other instances too. I don't see why people are saying they went all out for this game though. There are clearly issues that need addressing. AI difficulty, super armour having a terrible hit box so even behind you can be hitting it, Ultimate moves that clearly hit but do no damage, the issue with vanishing on PC, issues with online, CPU's being able to break your combos without teleporting, wonky ultimate and super hitboxes (I swear the amount of times I was clear from an attack only for it to hit me is ridiculous), lack of depth in the fighting system in general and apparently people have been experiencing crashes to desktop as well. Though I have yet to experience this.

Beerus was subtitled Beeurs once.

[Super SaiyaJon]

There are a lot of instances where characters are saying something and the subtitles say something else. I can't think of any specific examples of the top of my head, but Namek Vegeta has a lot, from what I remember

[nato25]

Yeah there are an absolute ton of subtitle errors which annoys me too. A bit off topic, but that IGN reviewer is a girl and has the name Jake. First time I've seen that before lol. I think its a good review.

Burst Limit 2 and Budokai 4 are never gonna happen, man. You gotta let it go

Xenoverse
Battle of Z

Wow.

That just makes the score Battle Of Z got even more generous in hindsight.

[DBZAOTA482]

Burst Limit 2 and Budokai 4 are never gonna happen, man. You gotta let it go

It will. Don't doubt.

Burst Limit 2 and Budokai 4 are like the Half Life 3 of Dragon Ball. You want it happen, there's every chance it could happen, but at the same time, you know deep down it will never see the light of day.

Wouldn't you feel silly if Half Life 3 was announced for next year? XD
