Apparently 10 hours, then doing all the quest in the game is supposedly around 100.

That's honestly better than I expected. Shoulda seen the DLC thing coming but I might I cop it.

That didn't happen in any of the movies.
It's a "combo set", not a super attack.

Hmm, it happened at some point. Maybe it was a special or something. I'll remember.
Edit - 199th Episode against Pikkon. Not sure why I thought it was a movie.

It happened as an animation mistake in a next episode preview, but never in the actual show or any of the movies.

That's right, I was thinking of a hair color mistake in one of the next episode previews in that arc. Anyways that thing was only one punch and it was filler, so that shit ain't ever showin up in anything.

There, we finally got our first mod attempt working ingame. Hoping to have custom models imported by the time the PC version is released!

Ugh...
Generally when it comes to Dragon Ball I swear by the Funimation dub, but I think I may use the Japanese dub when I play Xenoverse. Between garbage dialogue like that, having to hear the same dumb repeated phrases endlessly, and young Gohan having his new Kai voice (sacrilege, not the VA's fault but THAT IS NOT GOHAN)
I know the subtitles will show the same dialogue but at least I can pretend it's a poor translation of something wicked cool in Japanese

You mean Obsidian. Either way, the combat would suck and DBZ's lore isn't strong enough for something like that.

I keep watching streams of this game on Live on Playstation, and I still can't quite tell if this game is good or not =/ I remember seeing a trailer for this a long time, and thinking that concept sounded really cool, but ever since then...it's kinda escaped my attention and I don't know if it's any good or not.

sure hope the japanese audio of ssg goku's intro is as nonchalant with that line.

A lot of twitch streamers just mash punch and don't evade much, I think the system has some depth to it but it doesn't show itself off very well.
Yeah I really enjoyed the old DBZ game I played back a few years ago. I'm thinking of getting this one for sho'
Since there doesn't already seem to be one, I threw together a quick player list on google docs. If your interested in playing with other gaffers, leave your info!

So I loved the Budokai games but hated the Tenkaichi games. Pretty much everything after dimps moved on was a total bummer, imo. Is this a return to that classic formula now that dimps is back, or am I gonna be disappointed if I buy this?

It's a 50/50 mix of Budokai and Tenkaichi. Since you loved Budokai and hated Tenkaichi I'd recommend trying before you buy if possible.
A legit combo video has been uploaded showing some possibilities if your opponent has zero stamina -- also shows off the combo system in general with characters. It's really good.

wow i think this just sold me on the game. all i've seen of the game up till now is character creation and story stuff, but this looks much more like the budokai i fell in love with.

I wonder if this will be the first DBZ game with good netcode... Kinda want to jump in since I havent played a DBZ game (aside from SDBZ over and over) in awhile...but Steam or PS4?
I'm sure Steam would allow mods for original Dragon Ball series music (if its not already in) and possibly 60 fps.
PC would probably be best bet, but then PS4 a larger community (if the netcode is good anyway).

This is awesome. That Kageyama music is auto win for a Dragonball combo video. I loved that cell combo. Next week can't come soon enough.
I used to be able to agree with this, but after seeing Kai, and loving it, I can't go back to raspy, terrible voice acting for Gohan. Is Chris Ayers Frieza in this?

I prefer the JPN voices anyway, but as far as the English is concerned, give me all of it done by Team Four Star.
Each character has 7 different combos and some of the combos they have can be step canceled, jump canceled, or guard canceled (like Budokai) in the middle of them. You have to figure out what the cancels are, obviously, to extend the combo into something else. But it's not a one button fighter like the Naruto Storm games. To pull off combos it's more akin to Burst Limit where you have a Light Attack button and a Heavy Attack button (or like in Budokai, a punch and a kick button). Some of them can be charged up like in the Budokais as well (like when you hold down back and Punch in the Budokais for some characters they'd charge a punch to break the opponent's guard).
It's not an immensely deep system but it's deeper than anything we've gotten probably since Burst Limit. So in other words, there is some depth to it that many people who are playing the game likely aren't aware of -- the video I posted above is using the cancels to pull off those combos with those characters (obviously I don't know which ones since I don't have the game but yeah).
I really don't think the fighting in DBZ games has ever looked this close to the actual show before
Okay, I was unsure on this at first but that looks really good so I'm feeling good about getting it now.

yup, only thing that would top this is if they make Xenoverse 2 with a hand drawn (like the anime) art style, IMO.

So I forgot to cancel my pre order and now it's scheduled to arrive on Monday. I'm actually pretty excited. I haven't played a DBZ game since Budokai 3, so this should be interesting.

To be honest. After watching 4 characters the animations seemed to be pretty much the same. I didn't see much difference if Gohan was doing a combo versus Freiza.

So much Balthazar vibes from the sprite work.

I'm kind of pissed at the lack of forms and characters.

Where are the reviews?
I heard there's actually an embargo for this game until like midnight on the 24th. So I think that might be why.

How many people or friends can go online and you do missions with?
