As I said earlier, its a shame because Male Voice 2 sounds a lot closer to Stephanie's Goku than Colleen does.

If that's all you want, then all you want is fanservice, rather than an actual coherent story. And of course those aren't mutually exclusive; you could have a coherent story with "shine" moments! But if a story is perfectly coherent (and I'm really not seeing any compelling arguments that this one is anything but, despite constantly recurring, really poorly reasoned, attempts to argue otherwise), and you're bemoaning the lack of "shine" moments as a reason for the story's poor quality, then you're letting your thirst for "shine" moments obfuscate your ability to detect basic storytelling when it's right in front of you.

I'm not whining, I'm groaning under a face-palm. I'm still undecided if I really want it from these factors, but I wasn't implying the game was terrible, or even ruined to a fact that nobody should buy it. I find the CaC limited to what I personally wanted to create as so far the shown materials to be too generic and plain at best. I didn't plan to make the OC just an insert of myself like they presume.
I also didnt expect deep Facial editors, no, but just resizing the eyes or nose (I find the eyes too big for the face size). It also seems like a lame tease to not have all the character's hairstyles shown in game on other characters not an option. The CaC would have been more authentic if it gave us more specific hairstyles rather than generic ones. I know people who wanted to have Vegeta's hair, SSJ4 Goku's hair & Videl's low-tails.

Yeah, that's very understandable...I would've loved to have Vegeta-Samas hairstyles...or even Raditz. Yes it is dumbed down when it comes to facial features...you can change the eyes to make them smaller I think. Nothing drastic though...this is why I said limited/non-limited. The limitations is on your CaCs facial options whilst the non is outfits attacks etc.

That was just for the gun scene. And maybe he thought it was like Marlin Brando? :think:
I just found it a tad funny. Either way the game is going to be great and the VO is just enjoyable. Besides some minor things, there's not much to complain about. Just 11 more days until release in the states.
I'm counting the days too buddy lmao! Waiting for my College refund check so I can pick up my PS4 and preorder it for my SSJ4 Vegeta!

All the gameplay I found is in Japanese. So your best bet would be to find an English stream with someone using Cell.

Quick question: Do we know what Demigra's name is a pun of? Because if it is indeed "Demi-glace", or really anything "Demi(blank)", then it's... probably, actually a very proper pronunciation in English, I'd say.

It's not for certain, but "demi-glace" seems most likely. The word is French in origin though (English would be "demi glaze"), and much closer to the Japanese pronunciation than the one being used in English.

Not that this is really the place for this discussion. I'm sure Mike will pop in and tell us to start talking about the game again when he wakes up. xD

So, guys. I've been trying to wrap my head around the hype for this game, but what actually sets the combat apart from the flimsy Sparking and Raging Blast stuff? No matter how many gameplay videos I watch, it looks like the same thing. I'm genuinely curious.

DB Xenoverse is not a DBZ simulator with fighting elements, it's a semi competent fighting/action game with DBZ simulation elements.

There may be. For the Japanese DLC,it's only available until May 6th.

I don't see why we couldn't discuss it here. Demigra's name pun is Xenoverse related. Back when BoG was fresh there was all sorts of talk about Beerus' name pun in the main thread (Although that was such a big deal it did get a few threads of it's own, IIRC).

I'm currently pulling my hair out because I probably won't get this game as soon as I'd hoped, ack! :crazy: Just got an e-mail on my Wal-mart pre-order of the game, and it was basically just updating me about the release date change...you know, the one we've had for ages now. Like, either before or around the same time as my order. Way to stay on top of it, eh?

Anyway, scrolled down, only to see this.
Original release date : 17 FEB 2015
New release date : 24 FEB 2015
Should arrive by : 03 MAR 2015
...WHAT. What was the point of pre-ordering if it's gonna take another week after to get here?! Gaaaaaahhhhhhh.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Wow, that sucks so much. :thumbdown:

Why didn't you just order with Amazon? Hell, even Ebay deliver their products quicker than this.

It was a bit cheaper, and in case there's any problems (this being the first time I've pre-ordered), I'd have a store locally to 'harass' until they give me the help I need.

All I know for sure is, if I see copies of the game in-store on release day and I still have to wait a week, there's gonna be hell to pay. :P
