Considering its getting near Dark Souls 2 territory as far as sales go, I'm pretty sure they're a little bit beyond amazed that a anime game did this well worldwide.

EDIT: I mean as good as it is to see Goku Simulator do this well, I feel sorry for whoever is involved with directing Xenoverse 2 as now a several million sales expectation has been set.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
Well Battle of Z, the fighting game before this one, did 620,000 copies wordwide. so... on a scale of somewhere from 4-5x the last entry.

The news of Xenoverse doing so well excites me, because that probably means we'll get a sequel, and that sequel will have an actual budget. This could be a wonderful thing

I highly doubt you COULD, but I'd love the option to take your current main character and import them to the next game. That would be a lot of fun and would save me a lot of worry.

Just make the second game be the same game + a shitoad more new content, give previous owners a discount on the new one, allow save importing.

edit: VVV agreed. Fill out the missing DBZ stuff and then start adapting Dragonball content. :getin:

Well I just found out that some games(including this one) will sometimes use the Integrated Graphics instead of your Dedicated Graphics card, so I'm reinstalling Xenoverse in the hopes that now that I've set my computer to use my Nvidia card whenever possible it'll run at a level that's actually worth playing(even if I'll still probably have to have it on really low settings), that way I can share the adventures of my Freiza-Clan character Gelato with you guys(also they had Nappa[the vegetable] at the grocery store today, so that reminds me that I need to find a good veggie pun or two to use for my eventual Saiyan characters)

Everything changes, Pit.
Even gods.

Second game needs branching storylines where you're affecting time directly. show up in the saiyan saga and you stick around through everything. Can save some people who were supposed to die or end up being unable to save people who weren't. Let changes cascade in fun ways.

Make it big budget and go nuts with the time stuff. Give it more replay value

Xenoverse is a good game, but you can tell that they didn't' had any money to spare, because it really lacks polish. the storymode, PvP, balancing, it's all there, but it all could be majorly improved, with just a little it more time and money.

As far as I am aware, you don't. If you get into a punch fight it's pretty well automatic and you both take damage. It's just who gets the next punch in that matters

Yeah its just a mutual build up of Ki energy for both parties. No one takes damage because you're both perfectly parrying the other. However, if the AI are doing it to each other, you'll get hit by backlash if you try to interfere with it.

Thanks, the only thing its missing is having a ridiculous sized meal with Goku for it to be complete. Give Toki Toki some poo poo to do in just for funzies like drive cars with Piccolo recklessly and more co-op able story modes and the sequel'll be perfect.

I'll grant you everything but balance, because in that case you are stuck with "It's loving DBZ" and I pity whoever would be tasked with getting something even approaching balance out of that.

True, I guess I'm just too used to people going on to me about how "no guys, Jedi are incredibly balanced compared to characters without the force because-" So I'm kind of expecting to see setting based balance clusterfucks regardless of my hopes :v:

Nah, it's less that they didn't have the money, and more that it's a Dimps game. Fun gameplay hindered by a series of questionable design decisions are kinda their thing

Honestly as far as actually playing it Xenoverse is okay but their have been better DBZ games. They have Tenkaichi in the name.

In a lot of ways I even preferred Ultimate T's Create-a-Goku more than this one, and the fights weren't bad despite just being rock-paper-scissors-repeat.
