"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE" Official Discussion Thread

[MajinMan]

Wow that Buuber is the greatest thing ever hahahahahaha I just started trying to do a mission for Goten and beating him a Trunks in the beginning is too easy! then I get to Vegeta and Trunks and those two man.......they just freaking spam me with all kinds of crazy blasts and I'm like NOOOOO!!!!!!

If the cpu spams, you spam back and put those bitches in their place.

Right and Xenoverse on the XBOX360 and ONE did? Did you not see the numbers? Xenoverse FLOPPED on the Microsoft consoles.

I'm not one to typically pay attention to charts, but from what I've seen Xenoverse has done really well on both Microsoft consoles. It was even the top XBone title the week it came out.

It was also the top 360 title. I'm not seeing how it "flopped."

Compare it to the 11 MILLION install base on XBOXONE and whatever is the number for those who own an XB360. Then you'll see that the Microsoft version make up less than 1% sales.

I don't think you're taking into account the demographic and target audience differences. Generally, and not always the truth, is that 360 and XB1 gamers are not the type to be hyped for Japanese developed or anime-license games.

The number sold on those systems, taking into accounte deomographic/target audience as well as what the budget was for this game makes it a success.

Yup, I did, so that was taken into consideration when replying to you.

So those developers should know that any Japanese Anime games will automatically flop on the Microsoft systems. Tell me where are the FANS of DBZ at? Wasn't it the fan demand that cause them to pull AT from retirement? Where are the MILLIONS of DB fans at?

I assume you're a fan of other franchises than Dragon Ball, yes? Do you buy every game, DVD, graphic novel, etc. of all the things you consider yourself a fan of?

Not everyone that enjoys a franchise is going to put down $50 or $60 on a game based on that series up front.

[Careless Saiyajin]

You have it all wrong, many Xbox users buy DragonBall games. This thread is getting derailed trying to prove fixated points.

For the record, I'm one of those XBone players who bought the game.

Yeah but look at it at the whole. If this game was for fans then the games would be sold out for MONTHS at a time. Heck look at the sales for Majora's Mask 3D or for better console example Super Smash Bros. WII U version. That game alone made 50%+ of the WII U's install base buy it within the first 3 months. While you have a game that literally MILLIONS of fans ask for and we get these pathetic sales. Dimps is super lucky that the money BNG gave them to develop this game came from the pockets of Sony and Microsoft. With these percentage they would have once again lost the contract that allow them to make DB games if BNG didn't get that outside income.

You're comparing Dragon Ball sales to Zelda and Smash Bros? Really?!

And I just looked up UK sales, and Xenoverse is number 3: http://www.game.co.uk/en/games/xbox-one ... er-_-xbone
The game is doing very well for itself on XBox One/360. Especially with it being a Dragon Ball game.

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. The majority of the people who bought Wii Us are the hardcore Nintendo fans, as such big Nintendo exclusives have a large attach rate, but still sell far worse than on previous hardware like the Wii. Third party games do not sell on Wii U, this is known because many tried and Dragon Ball games do not sell on Nintendo home consoles, it has been that way since Gamecube. Bandai Namco has a great relationship with Nintendo and they continue to work with them on games like Smash Bros and the upcoming project treasure, but the market for anime games especially is not there for Wii U. The Xbox versions of Dragon Ball games are not made for Japan because Xbox is dead in Japan, they are made for the west and they absolutely sell well enough on those platforms to continue releasing them on them.
Also I can guarantee that exactly 0% of Xenoverse's budget came from Microsoft or Sony, they don't put any money into the vast majority of 3rd party releases and they absolutely don't care enough about licensed anime games to spend their money on them when that can go to big exclusives and marketing deals with AAA multiplatform games.
And games don't sell out for months at a time unless they are vastly under printed, it just doesn't happen.

Here are some pictures of my own. Some are a bit old now, and I've got a buttload of other stupid captures saved on the console. I like to abuse the Share feature...

Spoiler:

The best wish ever... until you get better equipment.


Get outta my hub world, Broly.


This ugly look didn't last long. I switched to a blue, black, and gold number for Schmohawk. You can sort of see it in the next image.


The Z-Sword. It's mine and it's big!


"Fear me, for I am lord-- AAAAAHCHOO!!"


Achoo runs into his long lost identical twin.


"Fu...sion... DAMMIT!"


"Everyone, everyone! Look how cool we are!"


"Stop copying me."


"I AM THE NIGHT!"


Fem Sauza/Salza NPC. My life is complete.


Even the NPCs have caught wind of the new trailer!

I know I've asked this before but i just want to get my facts right.. It's true that dimps/bandai have said theywill be doing dlc for two years for this game correct? I could of sworn someone in this forum said something like that or I seen it in one of their live streams.

The only DLC confirmed is the three packs in the season pass. They might do more after that since the game has sold so well, but there is no confirmation.

I could of sworn someone mentioned Dimps supporting it for 2 years... Hmmm odd...
