[ALL] Dragon Ball Xenoverse

[seaplus]

Decently fun game that is poorly made and could be a lot better. It reminds me a lot of Destiny and the Chicago Cubs ... a lot of fans but never going to be what people hope it to be.

This game is pretty hard to find, it's been sold out around where I live for the past week. I ended up having to get it from Amazon. It could definitely be better but it's still one of the best Dragonball games ever and an excellent nostalgia bomb even if you're like me and lost interest in the show part way through the Buu saga.

yep, based just off the name and not the actual gameplay. Might be the best DB game ever (I wouldn't know since this is my first), but that's like being the top poster at a crappy forumsite. Wish it was developed just for next gen and had more smooth movement ... even in Tokitoki. Also hate wasting a super/ultimate attack that doesn't hit the enemy simply because they are lying on the ground after getting hit and the game won't register damage during those animations and others

I see what you mean but that would make it too easy to abuse though. You can hit them as they're standing up if you time it right.

This is the first Dragonball game I've bought since the HD collection awhile back. Every game since has been pretty much unplayable for me. Even the old ones still had too many QTE's that just broke up the action and felt out of place. There's none of that in this game and more focus is put on the actual fighting and blasting.

I agree it's not anywhere near perfect and I'd probably give it 6/10 as a rating but I'm glad I bought it. Playing the parallel quests online with friends and their created characters is a blast and carries this game to new heights. If you don't have friends to play with it's just not going to be as fun, and even if you do good luck connecting to the servers. Right now half of the online game is unavailable because the servers are overloaded. I don't think they thought it would sell that well in the states, supposedly a patch is coming today. :dunno:

But there's still a lot more depth in other places than I was expecting. The leveling and customization options are pretty great. There's an exceptional foundation here for a sequel if they continue to improve and have an entirely next-gen focus with a full development cycle.

Yeah it's fun for what it is. Worried it is going to get old quick and I feel like I already hit a wall that requires me to replay lower level quests (too many times for my liking) in order to level up and get past a certain point. Comparing that aspect to Diablo 3 and Destiny, where you can initially continue leveling up by moving forward in the campaign instead of having to re-play quests/parts of the story, I don't like it. But it's a good change of pace game when you get bored of other stuff.

Well if you have friends who have it the best part is playing those parallel quests and getting the loot, skills, xp, money, etc. And HOLY SHIT they rolled out a patch and did maintenance all night and I'm actually in the lobby with other players running around for the first time ever.

The list of everything they fixed:

Bandai Namco has rolled out 1.02 update for Dragon Ball Xenoverse as it was facing server side issues. Dragon Ball GT Pack 1 compatibility patches will also roll-out for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 Xbox One and Xbox 360. This will ensure compatibility with DLC Pack 1, which is expected soon.

Players of the game will be happy to know that Bandai Namco is rolling out a new patch 1.02 to address server issues. The patch notes and other details were shared in a post on Facebook.

Online Services:

Player Match (1v1, 2v2, 3v3) are functioning properly on all platforms. This mode is accessible from ‘Player Match Online’ desk in Toki Toki City.
Multi Lobbies and Single Lobbies functioning properly on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 and we are still continuing to work on improvements on Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC/Steam.
Please note that your network status can also affect the server connection.

game was fun for a couple weeks. haven't played it in awhile

 

[OnlyOneBeerLeft]

I'll be waiting until I can get a good deal on this one

 

[j.hen]

Definitely a lot more fun and replayable if you have friends to play with.

That's what I've been told, but super smash bros and mario kart are getting major hours when I game with friends, few nights a week we get at least 4 people together, doubt they would all go for DBZ over Mario

This game's co-op is online only though, not couch co-op. Unless that's not what you meant...

Jhen imagine if you weren't a retard and bought a xbox one. Then you'd have people to play with.

That's an oxymoron.

And I have 4 friends who I play this game with. :dunno:

I disagree after playing it with friends for two weeks. it is only good now as a change of pace game when I am bored with all my other games

You disagree that the game is more fun with friends than it is by yourself? Are we playing the same game??

Yeah I meant getting friends to buy the game so we can play. Tough sell lol.
