I would also love a sequel, but I see way WAY more problems than what you just mention.

The gameplay is very, very poor. I play fighting games competitively, and even taking that out of the equation I still think the fighting system here is very poor. Don't get me wrong, Budokai 3, Tenkaichi 2/3, Raging Blast 1/2 and Burst Limit are a far cry from competitive fighters but it was still decent and fun. Whats the difference here? It really all comes down to poor design choices.

Combos are easy to pull off and repetitive. Dodges/Teleporting involves little to no skill. Put those 2 things together and you have a game with a very, very low skill cap. The game encourages Ultimate spamming, as it really is the best strategy in the game. Hit detection and hit boxes are really all over the place. Saiyan charcters who can transform are the only characters worth using due to SSJ having unlimited Ki.

But those poor choices don't just affect combat, theres everything you just mentioned as well and a plethora of other minor things. I could go on all day...

I didn't say those four problems were the only one, there are quite a few more:
- The Hub world is redundant
- You can only offline versus in the World Martial Arts Tournament
- All of the races are unbalanced
- The hit detection is ridiculous online

Hell, there's a thread solely devoted to what improvements can be made in Xenoverse 2.

So... Does anyone think Dimps will make more DLC Packs after 3? I mean, I did hear that they don't have plans to make more packs after 3, but I recall that they also said that if there's a big enough demand, then they will make more DLC.

I doubt we will get another pack after 3, a small outfit add-on like the one we got for F with Super's outfits, perhaps. :think:

I wouldn't hold my breath for more DLC. With E3 around the corner, it wouldn't surprise me if a new Dragon Ball game was announced then.

Games are usually released around October, and then the sequel or whatever announced around 6 months later in May. With the game barely being 3 months old, an announcement this early seems unlikely. Maybe the release cycle will be shifted to an October-ish announcement and a First Quarter 2016 release?

You can't really hate CaCs for that. I mean it's like every other RPG or fighting game with stuff like this. Players test out various things and find some to be very effective later on. It's why SSJ spammers aren't as big of a threat anymore.

Very true, Super Saiyan is pretty much useless and predictable in PVP.

I'm guessing Blubber was an auto correct mistake otherwise Buuber may get upset. He's sensitive about his weight :lol:

He's actually the same Buuber I made a few months ago only he went on the Shenron diet to lose some weight...and height...and Skin color :lol:

Confirmation that this is the end of DLC? They do say third and final DLC pack; nothing about it being the final of the announced packs or anything.

Well, I personally interpret what they say as this being the final DLC addition to Xenoverse. Unless they announce otherwise.

My Buuber is doing crazy well in online battles. It may be because they don't expect a male buu to be a Ki Blast type. Also Vegetto's Five Finger Blast technique (name escapes me) work well against people who think drifting slowly around the battlefield with prevent them from being hurt (which it usually does because of crappy netcode)

Countdown til I found out if it's time to toss away my Saiyan character for good. Once it's announced Elder Kai potential unlock is available for all races, then that means it's time to go full on human since now even PVE is worthless with saiyans.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!
