Huh, might have to pick that up. That's a good bit of content. Given, content that should be on the disc as shipped, but still, not much you can do.

On one hand, that's gotta be on-disc content that was removed so that we could pay more. On the other hand, that is a fair bit of content so they're hardly nickle and diming us.

How is that better than a "nickle and dime" approach, though? If they're already trying to get me to pay an extra ten bucks for content I should just have already, I'd rather have the option to buy it ala carte. I don't care about any of the GT characters, or the quests if they all involve them, but maybe I'd like the costumes or the moves. Now I still have to pay for all that other bullshit.

I think that's the first time I've seen GT Trunks be his own character in one of these games(which is very understandable as GT Trunks is a very bland character)

There's still so much we don't know about the game, and DLC is announced? I want you to be able to change how your strings look on your Create-a-Goku so that they don't look the same as everyone else's.

Also just because 2K's price model is really bad doesn't mean this one is good. 10 bucks for more content on something you don't like isn't worth much no matter how much more time you can spend doing that thing you don't like.

So how good of a game can we actually expect Xenoverse to be? I've been debating pre-ordering it, or just picking up the Budokai HD Collection instead. Or playing that SNES RPG that sounds cool.

budokai 3 is a fun game but story mode is kinda boring and unlocking stuff can be a pain and once you have everything unlocked there isn't much to do, since there's no online play

It is a lot of fun though, and competent enough as a fighter while also capturing DBZ fairly well.

These storylines are real! All I'm say is that Hulk Hogan's former championship ring (or whatever it was) is not actually capable of allowing John Cena to tap into the power of Hulkamania and defeat his foes. ...That was the best thing, by the way, when it aired.

Raxivace posted:So how good of a game can we actually expect Xenoverse to be? I've been debating pre-ordering it, or just picking up the Budokai HD Collection instead. Xenoverse looks like they are taking the best parts of the Tenkaichi gameplay and giving it to Dimps so there is more depth and speed to it. All we've got is Network Test gameplay and a 20 minute gameplay video to really go on, but the game actually looks like it could be pretty good so far. That being said, I am not dropping 60 bucks on another DBZ game unless I know for sure it's good.

I was reading that kazenshuu page about how Dragonball was unpopular at first but then really took off during the first Tenkaichi Budokai arc cause the readers love tournaments. I just don't get that. Tournament arcs in manga are always my least favorite thing and seem like a lousy cover up for a lack of plot. My interest in any anime drops if they ever get in a tournament, which is like all the goddamn time. Do Japanese people just really love tournaments or something?

A lot of manga authors are basically told "put one in, no matter what." Even in manga where it doesn't make sense sometimes.

the tournament arc of naruto was like the best part of it that said, dragon ball is a fighting manga. tournaments are a way to get people to fight people. we would have never gotten, say, goku vs master roshi without a tournament arc, but that fight was really cool. it isn't really a 'oh, those japanese inferior genes must bias them t o liking tournament arcs, unlike my superior western genes which let me see them for the lovely excuses for a lack of plot that they are ' thing, dragon ball is a manga for kids. kids like seeing dudes punch other dudes. tournament arcs are a way to get to the dude punching quickly.

Tournaments can be fun distractions like in Dragonball, or loving awesome like in Yu Yu Hakusho. Or disappointing and flaccid, also like in Yu Yu Hakusho. I really enjoyed the Grand Magic Games in Fairy Tail because it wasn't a traditional bracket structure and was a team competition based on points earned in various events. It can definitely feel like a method for the author to put the story on cruise control for awhile as they come up with ideas but I dunno. I still like 'em.

Counterpoint - all the tournaments in Yu Yu Hakusho are garbage. I give the first Budokai arc in Dragonball a pass because the motives for joining it fit the characters and story - the Kame school is out to have fun and test their skills and maybe win a prize (like, you know, the reason why people actually register for tournaments.) But when there's some kind of tedious nonsense where for whatever reason winning a tourney is the only way for a character to achieve some unrelated goal...it's just tedious and awful.

A defined setting where a bunch of people with (hopefully) esoteric and weird powers come together to beat the poo poo out of each other seems like something many readers of shounen manga/animes would like. You don't have to put brakes on character development either, although it'll be hard to do big plot during that point.

And don't forget that G Gundam is technically one big Tournament Arc for almost the entire series(even if it takes a break from it for the Tokyo and Guyana Highlands arcs) and it's one of the best Mecha Animes ever made
