The lock-on system is also kind of rudimentary, which is a shame, because I like a lot of the gameplay and saying that gameplay is both a good point and a bad point feels weird.

I felt the same way, with the general fighting system vs the rng and grinding.

if you played Xenoverse you might want to fill out this survey for bandai-namco about the game

potentially has an impact on future DB games

I never played Xenoverse, but for those that did please tell them that Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is the best DBZ game and to make another one.

Everything about Xenoverse that wasn't timecop or the character creation I hated. It should just be Tenkaichi 4 and instead it's Monster Hunter.

E: basically I told them to keep the fanservice and throw out everything else. Also fire the voice director.

elder kai lets you skip like two levels during one of the game's biggest XP grinds, and he also can give you a higher chance of getting drops to help with the RNG bullshit, Elder Kai loving owns

I loved Xenoverse, warts and all. I would have really appreciated more customization and more overall weirdness in the canon. Some of the other parallel universes seemed more interesting. The world from the new mobile game is pretty wild too.

I loved Xenoverse and its story. Playing timecop was hilarious.

I spent most of my time complaining about PvP being bad though. The biggest issue for me was that against the best players, melee would never ever work since the delay between you attacking and the server registering your attack was high enough that your opponent would always have moved before it happened.

FGs are dumb, which is why people are talking about Tenkaichi, not Budokai.

Yes, do this. More people need to do this. It's a fun, gorgeous retelling of early Dragon Ball.

Also Xenoverse was fun, if flawed, and I'm looking forward to the inevitable sequel.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

FGs aren't for everyone because everyone has different tastes, but they are pretty awesome. When well made, they can be a fun and strategic game that rewards system mastery and dexterity while still being accessible to newcomers. A great game to keep coming back to when friends are over.

Or, in other words, get good, scrublord!

I want to say that, without tone, it was a little hard to tell, but some of it might be the internet lowering my expectations in how people interpret media.

Serious post, I found Path to Power a bit...jarring, I guess? It was early Dragonball, but the story beats were slapped together rather haphazardly.

Also, Commander Black went way too crazy.

Dragon Balls? Are they tasty?
Such a minor gripe, but I wish they wouldn't gently caress with aura/beam colors out of laziness. Having different colors is fun. During "Bio-Broly" (yeah, I know it sucks, shut up, I'm making a point- this is the best part of the movie) Krillin's aura for the final group Kamehameha was yellow like a Super Saiyan. Then during "The Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans", Vegeta's Final Flash, Gohan's Masenko, and Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon were all blue for some goddamn reason.. just to make it easier for the final combined blast I guess, but having them be unique is fun.

I'm hoping they add that level of customization in Xenoverse 2. At minimum, I'd like to be able to FULLY customize clothing.. recolor anything, have stats independent of your outfit, etc.
