Pretty much. I mean it's basically a CAG Dragonball Z game. Who the hell doesn't want that?

Who wouldn't wanna make your own Great Sayiaman. :colbert:

TFS Nappa is just icing on the cake.

I can vouch for this guy too. I wish I'd remembered him before pre-ordering the game and DLC, but whaddaya gonna do.

As much as I'd love to beat Raditz as SSJ9Dende, 50 bucks is still a lot for a dragonball game, even if it does look like one of the better ones.

Then again, I bought Taiketsu for GBA so at the very least Xenoverse couldn't be TOO disappointing.

The DLC looks like some triple a bullshit but that's the videogame industries fault.

As long as they don't announce it several months in advance, have it be unlocked by a 100kb key and make it seem all but gouged out of the base game to sell later on, I'm okay with DLC.

The problem is that most games don't do that. I can't speak either way for this new DBZ one.

people that rabid get laughed out of most other places too. that video has 9 comments and 6 of them are people making fun of him, and his other videos have maybe 100 views each. this isn't some sort of big name hero of the fanbase or anything, it's just some weirdo somebody dug up from the bowels of youtube.

A little background on that guy, he's a troll literally from Xenoverse's GameFAQs board. He posts such topics as, "Xenoverse ripped off Tekken X Capcom" (because of 2v2 battles), or "Im boycotting this game because Grandpa Gohan isn't playable", that sort of thing. As more and more info came out about the game... less people started to be swayed by his stuff. Lately any thread he makes is immediately with derision, and they tend to be increasingly desperate like "why can't my namek have spiky hair", or "why isn't the CAC in story fully voiced"(for 20 different VAs).

It came to a head when he just decided to get belligerent as in the video. I thought it was funnier without context, but maybe you'd appreciate it more now.

This is his latest rant:
they made sure you couldn't have your precious ssj3 cacs , they even removed raditz's hair from cac options to make sure that even if your dumb enough to buy their game , but smart enough to color his hair and remove the eyebrows; you'd be forced to buy their even more half assed sequel . look we put in ssj3 (even though we were fully capable of doing it in our first abomination).

SSJ3 is dumb, but I do wish this game would let me have Raditz hair.

You haven't spent enough time on actual fandoms if you think this. Penny Arcade is a good example of a fandom. Nobody cares if you're an ultimate mega creeper as long as you're a fan of <x> the hugbox will defend you. Standards of behavior are basically just "don't rock the boat".

The png files are uploaded a few days in advance, so if you just move up the pagenumber you might suddenly see tomorrows comic before the page is updated to display it.
