ASK ME ABOUT KISSING A GHOST

I think Xenoverse the First is something like 75% off through Steam this weekend. Should I be tempted?

If you like Dragonball punchmans, why not?

But be clear it's a lot closer to an action RPG than it is a fighting game.

Well of course, he's a good boy.

Pretty sure getting hosed up by a fat dude with a sword was rock bottom for Vegeta and while it may not have immediately made him change his ways it out him on that path. Why do you think trunks has a sword? Vegeta made him train with one because it's the most humiliating way to be beaten in dragon ball.

Except the series itself contradicts this. Goku outright tells Vegeta to take Nappa away, making it absolutely clear he had no intentions whatsoever to finish the job.

People need to stop trying to search for excuses, Vegeta was evil and he was so hosed up that it took nearly the entirety of Z for him to finally fully turn. The Vegeta of now and the Vegeta of back then might as well be two different characters with just how much he grew (even literally, due to Toriyama's style changing). This is like the people who think Freeza is the cause of Vegeta's evil, it's laughable. With an evil genocidal space monkey laugh.

I like Frieza saga Vegita best. He is his own man, not one of the "good" guys or "bad" guys. He might help you fight Frieza, or he might run away and save his own rear end. Still likes to murder villages for fun. Classic Vegita!

What's sad is that the change could have made him a really interesting and well fleshed out character, but he drops a lot of his worse behavior off-screen and really never faces any kind of punishment or bad karma for his past. It's why him suiciding against Buu is such a great moment, not because it was the wisest move or had great action, but because him talking to Trunks and going over what it means to him and why he's doing it is a visible moment of real emotion and change on his part. He's still a decent character and more fun than a lot of the cast, especially once DBZ gets under way and most of them get side lined, but he could have been so much more given what he does.

I came here to laugh at you.
There's some pro-wrestling logic in play where Vegeta is good now because he's really over with the audience. I think that's the main genre where writers will actually change a dude's alignment depending on how he's received.

Vegita already had that moment when he died on Namick.

I was searching for stuff to get my girlfriend for our anniversary and I checked Dragon Ball figures. "Son Gokou" is incredibly common, and I also found a "Piccoro". Not to mention Krillin/Kuririn/Kulilin/Klilyn, and I'm sure there's several others. Hell, even the official translations have goofs, such as "Kakarot" and "Vegito" (Kakarotto, Vegetto) in the English translation and "Bills" in the Spanish one.

Romanization is hard.

Who cares about the alternate spelling, you have a girlfriend who apparently likes Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball merchandise. And it sounds like she'd even be happy to receive cartoon toys as an anniversary gift. I've never dated anyone even remotely like that, ever. So I think you may have won some kind of cosmic nerdy jackpot.

Did Shenlong himself create your mythical girlfriend?

Sadly they only appear in one scene, and they shave afterwards. We never get to see Super Saiyan Beards.

He does not. I did like Vegeta in GT though, and the fact that him shaving was a plot point was one of the good things about that show.

Nimbus and power pole? Who the gently caress wanted that? That's really disappointing. I played the last one primarily as Human, may go Saiyan for this one just because.

Oh come on, seriously? When you think Saiyan power-up, you get Super Saiyan. When you think Namekian power-up, you get giant mode. When you think Human power-up, where do you get Nimbus and Power Pole? That was a Goku-specific thing - and he's not even a Human! I wanted some kind of ultra-buff Roshi mode, or even just some sort of "moment of triumph" power increase like Tien vs Cell, or Krillin vs Frieza, where suddenly your skills get a mega-boost.

Yeah, you're right about there not really being a good choice. I guess it would have been hard to justify, but I might have gone with Humans being able to occasionally activate an Infinite Energy Drive for SSJ-style unlimited supers,maybe.

SSJ isn't unlimited supers anymore! It's just a big universal stat boost like it was in all other games
