Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.
PC is the better platform in every way but PC is also only for serious gaming while PS4 is perfect for making a 300 lb purple piccolo. It doesn't matter if you're good at the game or bad at the game just keep yelling into the microphone.

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.

This is incorrect. The only reason you'd ever need to sell this game is if they release a better dbz xenoverse 2 in a few years. otherwise this is the definitive Dragonball experience

Yes hello it is I Kurt's Secret Son


I'm getting it on PC because I only have a PC and PS3 and the guy I'll be co-oping with has a PC and an XB1, but I am worried Ed that a few weeks after release, everyone in Toki Toki will start sending me flames because I'm not running a short Saiyan in a dumb outfit with Jeice's moves or whatever because that's ~optimal~. Basically I hope the stupid MMO community never finds this game.

I highly doubt the super serious min-maxing crowd is going to latch on to this game. And even if they do, there will always be goons to have "sub optimal" matches with

You can get 80 in like 4 days of playing it casually.

Nothing is level locked except mentors, so it also doesn't matter much unless you plan on PvPing.

Someone asked me a question on Steam that was very interesting. "Earthling" doesn't necessary mean Human (Goku, Trunks, Gohan identify as Earthling, right?), are Earthlings 1/2 Saiyan.

That got me thinking about Dragon Ball Online and how Saiyan wasn't selectable, but Humans were like 1/16th Saiyan and you could wish for SSJ.

lol @ Roshi and Videl versus Broly. Most one sided fight ever.

weird, it said new opponent and new supporter but he was just running around collecting dragon balls. Are the fights optional or are they just trying to stop you from completing the objective?

The mission has secret parameters to unlock more stuff, but he is just grinding levels out the quickest way he knows how. I guess I just wanted to share how cool his Roshi looks.

http://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Dragon%20Ball%20Xenoverse There's other people playing, though. Online is a little sparse though considering it's just people who either got it early somehow or used the Hong Kong exploit then re-downloaded it in English.

I think they just wanted the dragon balls to be bigger in-game objects. Remember, the earth ones are the size of oranges.

The character creation screen shows Videl, Yamcha, Tien and Mister Satan in the background when Earthling is highlighted. Pretty sure the idea here isn't some 1/16th Cherokee princess thing.

But then I think you can also just colour your earthling red and pretend to be Jeice's long-lost brother so the whole race thing doesn't matter outside of gameplay and what your fanfic says.

A) Unfortunately even at max height/weight, you still aren't as big as Nappa. You are more like Capt. Ginyu sized.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSQVAtib5yU Here's an example... but I don't even think this dude went for the max. Looks like the middle notches to me.

B) No impressive beards, just Roshi's beard and a terrible beatnik dad beard

Esroc posted:

I don't think so. There's some attacks that sort of come from your forehead, but no specific eyebeams I don't think.

\/\/\/ Yeah. There miiiight be, you could check the Super list where the dude goes through them all in his inventory, but I don't remember offhanded that there are eye beams. If it softens the blow, there is a Buu attack where he inhales a huge breath and exhales pink swirly ki in a big sweep in front of him for your Kryptonian guy.

also according to what I read about DBO's timeline, humans could do all the cool ki poo poo because:

-Hercule releases instructional fight videos imitating the Cell Games, makes gorillians of dollars
-people find out it's largely bullshit, riot
-Videl doesn't like to see her dad get trashed by everyone, so she takes over the videos, making them about harnessing ki like Gohan taught her to
-people legitimately learn how to harness and use their ki to fly and shoot energy beams and poo poo, entire planet becomes badasses
