Looks like we never started a thread for this...? How'd that happen...?

Anyway, Xenoverse, probably going to be one of the best DBZ games ever. In case you haven't been keeping up (you nerd), here's the run down.


The game will feature Character Customization. And this time, you're allowed to make girls too! Ain't that amazing! Who'da thought, giving players the ability to make not one, but BOTH genders?! (Done bashing Ultimate Tenkaichi now)

Here are the poster characters for character creation. You can make Earthlings, Saiyans, Majins, Namekians, and Freeza's Race (yes, it's called Freeza's Race).

Here are some screenshots of magazines covering the game. The guy in the first pic is a new villain. Second screenshot shows off GT inclusion, and third shows that Jaco the Galactic Patrolman is going to be appearing in game (which is exciting!).

Here is a screen shot of Pan, making her first US Dragonball game appearance in like 8 years. Here's hoping she FINALLY gets a SSJ transformation.

And if you want more, here's the Timeline from Dragonball Online, the Korean MMO that got shut down, which is heavily inspiring this new game. In it you see the fate of Goku and Vegeta, what Krillin and the rest did with their lives, and how Buu populated the world with the Majin Race. Going to copy the text here if you don't want to sift through it (since it isn't the OP in that link)

I played the MMO when it was out (had to... make a Korean SSN? Or something?). It was hard to play, cause it was filled with Spanish speaking players and Korean descriptions for everything, which made it impossible to coordinate with other players or read missions or objectives. Despite all of that though I had a great time, and I have a lot of faith that this game will be great too. Even if just for the story mode. I'll be looking forward to not playing the same "Beat Raditz as Goku, then beat him as Piccolo, now go fight Nappa" story mode.

One thing I was hoping would return from DBO that it doesn't look like did was Child and Adult forms. In DBO you started as a child, and by gathering the Dragonballs you could wish yourself into your Adult form. But the Child forms were so adorable, I liked having the option to make a kid fighter.

Augh! I wishI could have got DBZ MMO working on mine!
Also any race you plan on picking?

I'm going to of course end up using all the races. Female Majins will probably be my favorites, maybe followed by Earthling/Human, and then Namekians/Freeza's Race are basically tied. Don't really care for Fat Majin, but I'll undoubtedly make one and play with it.
 
So, Xenoverse got reviewed by Famitsu (like lots of stuff). Here's what was written.

I started playing this on PC. Chose on of Frieza's race. The game is SUPER fun.
 
Angry Joe's apparently not a fan of the game, kinda saddening. Usually I listen to him since he's a good reviewer, but I'll have to pass since I already have my heart set on this game.
Just waiting for the servers to get better before I get it.
And that is one good Frieza character.
Was considering naming mine Tundra or Glacier (Or Glaciea) when I get to it.

The RNG on drops is kinda a killer, though.

Also, my Freiza's race character:

I keep getting tempted to get this game now
BUT SERVERS MAN
I GOTTA WAIT TILL THEY GET BETTER.

They've gotten better.
I've had zero disconnects as of three days ago.
 
Just wanna say that I'm REALLY hating that all the drops are RNG, and that its RNG if you get to the Ultimate Finish, even if you do the proper things, and that dragonballs are RNG and RNG and RNG AND RNG AND RNG AND AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

Sorry, just... this grind for 100% Ultimates/Supers is driving me nuts
 
Eh, not as good as Budokai Tenkaichi 3, but hey, at least it's a huge improvement over Ultimate "Rock-Paper-Scissors" Tenkaichi.

And the story mode is VERY fun so at least that makes it up a little.

The fighting got very repetitive after a while as there are only like 2 combos worth using for me but HELL if it isn't satisfying to launch an enemy, teleport behind him and throw a Gallick Gun in their butt.

I can understand both people loving it and hating it.

Playing, liking it (i like unlocking stuff).

But for now it isn't worth buying. maybe when the servers are good, and they sell the full pack at 50% off

Thanks for that input, I had a feeling that'd be a good decision to wait.

How's the character customization feeling?

Not many options with creating the initial looks (perhaps Skyrim and such spoiled me). Around 10 hairstyles and 10 faces per race. Quite a lot of costumes though. You can wear pretty much everything worn by any character that meant something at any point. And of course you can learn any move any of the other characters use. I'm personally going now with a mix of Piccolo and Vegeta moveset with a little of... Jeice, cause that's the only Ultimate Ki that dropped for me. :P
 




that's all there's to it on creation. clothes are purchased and unlocked in game.

Height and Weight influence character power (taller = More health and slower, heavier = stronger phisical attacks, weaker ki supers)

Sex changes A LOT of your bonuses (and i think it kinda sucks... i wanted to make a super male ki user and a female brawler, both humans and the bonus work reverse of what i want :( Maybe in the sequel they introduce it as "training discipline" or "fighting style" rather than gender)

Humans and Saiyans are exactly the same (no tail). No "unbuffed" male human/saiyan character (everyone ate their senzu whey). All majin male are fat buu (no Buu/Kid buu body), All female majin are waifu material, Namekians got something to look a little less different (shark fins on head, raised antenna), Freeza race looks cooler with equips.

Everyone can get any skin tone (blue humans, check. Human color majin, check. Black Piccolo, that's racist! check)

All in all, i just wanted more hairstyles (trunks hairstyle is a wig accessory and you can't change color. same with goku and Mr. Satan's Hair) And some mods.

Being brutally honest, i just want the mods to happen and start making Chrono Trigger characters on it. THAT will be glorious
 
Give us more accessory slots.
 
So, the DLC was leaked early on PC, for owners of the season pass.
Slightly disappointed with the AMOUNT of content, however it was fun, so I'd say it still might be worth a buy, but only if you like GT.
Or want Wolf Fang Fist.
 
Bought Xenoverse, was conflicted on making myself (Earthling), or my main character (as a Majin)
Ended up making the majin girl, I like the animations, just got no idea what stats to level up.

And naturally, I already wanna commission art of them.

Though, I'm pretty disappointed female majins can't be just a lil' chubby :(
Guess that's the trade-off to all fat majins.
