Yes, for everything except PC. Pretty sure it's Steam exclusive, at least at the moment. You can go to Wal-Mart and pick it up on Tuesday if you own a console.


A name generator for every CAC race in the game. For ~your immersion~.
It wants me to name a Freeza dude "Frigi" or "Nippy", so it has my approval.

I was going to name my Saiyan "Kale", but ... "Lettus" actually is kind of cool.

Only female Majin can be skinny in game. Male Majin are all Fat Buu-sized.

Z Souls and their effects.
I will add to the OP after work. Enjoy!


All Supers & Ultimates viewed from menu.
It's worth watching just to see the special effects of them and how they differ from others.
Some can be charged by holding the button, charged while moving, have short stat buffs, can be cancelled to another attack during the animation, used while guarding...

So what exactly are Z Souls again? This game has a lot of customization poo poo to keep up with.

Also kinda skipping around there I saw

"Gohan's Z Soul, has a chance to activate when battle begins. Recharge allies' ki with great jokes"

Wonderful.

You get to equip 1. It does whatever it says on the tin. Those with the [Master] tag must be gotten from mentors... otherwise they are hidden in Parallel Quests, have to be crafted, or bought from the shop. It's just a passive buff you equip on your dude that gives you more customization. When it's activated, you'll see the name of it underneath your name in the top corner. So when you satisfy those conditions and it goes off, it'll say "Now I'm Mad!!" or whatever you have equipped there.

In the "lore" of the game, it's because you're all Buu's children. He created his own female based on one of Mr. Satan's porno mags.

This is truly the best game.

I love that the teams writing for DBZ stuff give zero fucks anymore. I mean that 100% too, not some lovely backhanded 'oh it's nice to not care anymore' thing, I love that they sat down and said 'ok, for this online game we should make Majins playable' 'cool, but we should probably have both guys and girls right, like everyone else?' 'Hm, how does that happen though' 'I dunno, Buu found a porno and made a lady Majin based on that?' 'YA DID IT AGAIN, JERRY!'

Sorry if this has been answered and I just missed it like an oblivious rear end in a top hat, but can you play as pre-existing characters in story mode? Can Hercule save time, or do I have to make him myself?

Pretty sure story mode is just your character, but you can play as others in certain side quests.

You can play all the Parallel Quests as Hercule, though. Some of them are pretty cool, and let you play different sides of a conflict.

Like say... helping Nappa kill the Z Fighters.

Which ones? I know for sure that the name of your Z Soul will appear. There are also *a lot* of buff skills, so that may be what you are seeing.

I'm super hyped for this game. I can't wait 'till Friday. I don't think I'm going to get to play at my friend's house before I get my own copy. I want to make a Saiyan Ki specialist... Super Vegeta 1 (or maybe 2) for one of the Ultimates... then I need to decide between Saiyan Spirit (Bardock), Volcano Explosion (Nappa), or Final Flash.

For Supers I don't even know. So many to choose from. I think at first I want Galick Gun, Instant Transmission, one of the Counters, and maybe a buff.


I'm so drat hyped. I've never pre-ordered a DBZ game, and never bought a Season Pass on anything.

To the guy making Hercule: There's like 3 of his attacks available, his afro, his outfit... but I don't think his moustache is available. Maybe you can get away with making Young Mr. Satan or something. You can use him in ranked, player match, parallel quests... but the actual true story mode is about your CAC. There's some cool Z Souls for Mr. Satan. One that makes you occasionally invincible, Dan Hibiki style.

Battle of the Gods was great because almost everyone involved but Goku and Beerus fully acknowledged how stupid a name Super Saiyan God is, like these two were having a serious moment and everyone around them was all 'that's a real dumb name for a form, yo' and saying he looks the same and all that.

Nothing is lamer looking than Super Saiyan 4. Red eyeliner and a red fur vest that doesn't cover your man boobs awww yissss.

I mean the whole CONCEPT of Super Saiyan 4, using the Great Ape form to reach it, is cool but the actual result is...not so much.

If I had both options I'd probably get PS4 because it's likely to have a bigger community (looks to be the biggest), but PC will have mods and confirmed 60 fps. You also have to wait till Friday as opposed to tomorrow. You also get Steam integration and everything that means... free changing of your name, there's a goon Steam group, that sort of thing.

I have no choice than to get it for PC.

I'll probably get it on the PS4 so I can sell it afterwards when I get tired of Goku dressup. It doesn't feel like the kind of game I need to keep forever.
