I must be playing this game the wrong way, this is by far the hardest dragon ball game I've played, and maybe one of the hardest games ever. I have to fight 3 buus at once and when I hit them I barely scratch them, when their specials almost completely obliterate me. What am I doing wrong? Yes I am doing as many PQs as I can along the way.

The multi Buu fight is really tough and I remember just barely scraping by.

Could you tell us your build? That might help us give advice.

Just generally though, AoE ultimates are really useful for that level. Giant Storm (from PQ4 I think) is my personal favorite against multiple opponents.

I tried to use as many attacks that give you invincibility frames as possible. Obviously ki supers, but also simple grabs/throws are useful to give you a brief safe moment that also does a bit of damage and gets a bit of ki back.

But yeah that mission is tough.

Yeah, it doesn't sound like a lot. Watched a review of it by a fan and he said he finished the story only in 30 mins too. I do like the look of some of the new clothes for CACs. I dunno I might pick up the dlc later if I have some spare time on my hands

Yeah, Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan sounds super childish

These devs... wtf... so out of touch with the fan base. It's a "push" out mentality.

I would've gladly tossed dollars at them if they'd add some transformations for the CACs. How cool would it be for a Saiyan to transform into an Ape? Heck, we got Apes walking around in these maps. Yeah an Ape wouldn't fit in some of these cramped City maps but those blow in normal gameplay anyways (I get tired of crashing into the bridge for example in the city map)

Or Majin transformations
Or Freeza Transformations

Or heck- Beam struggles? Where is it??? I played an old Dragonball Z mod called "Bid For Power" many years ago that had beam struggles.... (Don't get me started how cool BFP mod was for Quake. These guys made beam struggles work with no pay!!)

Now Golden Frieza I might get behind tho!! And yeah that new Gogeta fit in dlc pack 2 looks like nice swag.

Really hope we get more features in Xenoverse 2 or another more passionate dev works on it and gets the transformations right

Hm, just watched some youtube with Jaco in it. I do kind of want that dlc pack 3 yo (actually I want it sort of badly)

Spoiler question about dlc pack 2:
Does the story still leave you hanging at the end?

^^ Thank you very much!

Yo guys I had no idea who Jaco was this whole time. Just got educated about him on youtube: Who is Jaco The Galatic Patrolman?. I watched the first 3 mins of the video and that was all the information I needed. Had no idea the original creator, conceived this character!

Ordering the book on Amazon right now :)

There has to be some limitation in the engine they are using that prevents transformable characters (in-game its either cutscenes or just a hair color change) and beam battles. :( These would all be so cool to have.

Didnt see it discussed, but scans are out detailing DLC3.

- SSJGSS Goku
- SSJGSS Vegeta (Seems to have a new Ultimate, too. Looks like a massively powered up Galick Gun)
- Golden Frieza

New Mentors:
- Jaco
- Old Kai (Oh man, if he gives out a potential unleashed transformation...)

- 5 Parallel Quests
- 13 New Skills
- Gohans Tracksuit
- Tagoma's Scouter
- 7 New Z Souls

(SSJGSS Goku's coming to Zenkai Battle Royale for the handful of people that announcement would matter too, as well.)

Super 17, Baby and Shenron all fighting you at once? What a stupid mission. The camera is clumsy as fuck. And somehow ulitmates are missing people directly in front of me.

Gogeta is worthless.

Spent all of yesterday playing this game, it's really fun with a lot to do and unlock.

The game very much feels like it's held back by past gen versions and making friends with someone you know in-game requires using a loophole through the postage npc to check recent players, but I can forgive that for it's first online attempt.

My wish list for future patches or even sequel fixes:

-ability to bend and steer ki blasts a tiny bit to make up for missing a target because they moved a few pixels
-bigger stages, the only huge stage right now seems to be the namek planet stage with freiza's ship in the corner.
-more then one accessory in use at a time
-less immunity to regular punches, I noticed some z-souls make you not flinch to attacks and it's abused in PvP for sure.

That was another thing Bid for power (Dragonball z mod) had. You could bend the beams. Would be great if the future titles integrated the basic dbz signature effects like that

Bid for Power was a great mod, the first full game mod I ever downloaded when we first got a cable line, heh.

The more I play xenoverse the more I learn to use specials at the right time to maximize a combo but being able to steer a shot would be real nice.

*edit*

I managed to make some land destruction detail stay instead of fade away because I used a move just as a cut scene started up, the game really should leave these in place for way longer then a second or two.

After trying out some stuff I find that clothing stats are pretty minor buffs, like i'm not really noticing any enhancements from using clothing which all has +3 to attack for example.

It really seems that energy attacks are the best to go with for dealing damage, going in for combos is just asking for trouble. I tried a setup of kaoken + pose which gives attack buffs + clothing all based on melee attacks and it's rather shit.

I have found it useful to use the ki-enhancing clothing sets to squeeze an extra ki bar out. Not a huge difference, maybe, but useful when you aren't quite leveled up enough to get the full next bar by yourself. Probably similar with attacks and such.

yes this is the best use for sure, same with quite a few z-souls which give you ki and stamina boosts.

Hmm really strange that The Gokus Gi and Vegetas Uniform and the SSJGSSJ Goku Wig don't seem to be included since they are given out to Japanese people who attend the cinema.

No Jack, Demigra or Roshi clothes either.

DLC 4 maybe?

The game has sold really well I wonder if they are planning more DLC.

Fuck it. I give up on melee Saiyans. It's just asking to be killed.
I have tried so many times and the only thing they're good for is cheesing PQs as a Super Saiyan otherwise in melee they're just so weak.
Earthlings are what the Saiyans should be like.
I can play a female melee earthling with 4ki and 5stam bars using the "Might as well..." Soul and practically have unlimited Ki and Stam

Code: 
Might as well...
Ki++++
Strike Supers ++++
Ki Blast Supers --
GT Trunks' Z-Soul. Equipping the soul increases movement speed. Also, a large increase to Ki and Stamina recovery is gained.
When put on an earthling their natural ki and stam auto regen is increased a great deal more and then when hit or hitting they skyrocket up.
Max Ki also increases damage from your strikes....
Where's the downside other than you can't go blonde and teal eyes to fart around getting dodged?

my namekian character is kind of melee based, a few points in ki attack and strikes but a little more in regular attack with most points being in health and stamina, a little weak but kind of fun

Hey guys is there a way to tell how many copies of a z-soul I have? It's very confusing. It appears all my favorite z-souls I only have 1 copy of them. Which means my other characters cannot use them

And man I haven't used "Might as well..." til reading the post above. Yeah its very nice!

If I remember right, you can go into the Bag menu and change pages to the Z-Souls page. They should all be there, with the amount shown.

some z-souls sound like they completely tip the balance more then they should, the worst ones are the souls which stop you flinching when hit, for non energy characters it's really hard to land damage.

I just beat the story part of the game, there was way more story after the buu saga then I thought and I think the story was rather well done, kind of wish the twists to the main dbz story were more wild and full of more what-if moments, but maybe they can do a lot more with a sequel.

These new PQs are kinda tough. Not to complete as such, but the bonus objectives. I swear Super Android 17 gets up like a billion times. I got him to about less than a tenth of his health when SSJ4 Goku showed up but then I ran out of time. Literally just needed to hit him once >.<

Also Super 17's chest clothing is awesome. I've replaced Goku's Yardrat clothes :eek:

I'm not sold on this new transformation. It feels lazy, especially after SSJ God was already just a hair recolor (though I liked that, another one seems like not enough). I strongly prefer SSJ4.

Hopefully the movie will change my mind. :)

I really dislike it too but I also didn't like God at first but it grew on me. The thing was though that Bills and Whis were some of the best Dragonball designs and characters in such a long time.

Yeah I think DBZ suffers from power creep a bit much but I guess the audiences of those films are eating it all up. I'll have to get caught up sometime. I stopped right after Frieza on the series :)

It's definitely useful but nowhere near as busted as those OP z-souls that came out at launch. And I managed to farm a 2nd copy. I dunno why I thought it would auto-charge my ki as well. On my Saiyan doesn't seem to bring much to the table. But works great for my Earthling

[edit] See my post below btw.
