Hey guys I live in Europe and I just got a promo copy from a friend that works at Bandai.

The game only comes out here Friday, you guys think it would be ok if I go online tonight?

Or just wait for Friday?

Also if I decide to not connect to PSN am I locked out of anything important?

 

[Welfare]

BTW, this game could do well in USA the PS4 version is out of stock on amazon and the XB1 is in the top 100. so a Xenoverse 2 is very possible (even if it isnt enough data to make that kind of prediction)

Xenoverse deserves a sequel just to expand on the formula.

 

[ViciousDS]

best buy online told me due to high demand they couldn't process my order.....kept repeating that bitch till it gave me a confirmed page and now it says my order will be available for pickup tomorrow lol.


Lets do this!

DBZ games always tend to sell fairly well, so we'll most likely get a sequel. My GameStop has more pre-orders across all consoles than we did for Dying Light and Evolve combined.

That's... actually I can't imagine that.

Holy shit, really?

Maybe this game will break a million. I think the last few were just shy of that.

 

[Lakerchick4life]

I have 27 microsoft dollars to spend so I could use some of it to buy this game on the XBOX ONE..I can either pre order it today or just wait for reviews to start rolling in, not sure what to do..would the digital version of this game work good on my external hard drive that is where I would put the game since its probably huge

Really? That's crazy, I hope that's indicative of a larger trend because the japanese sales were not great (78k first week), even with the 89% sell-through rate

What? Impressive! I really hope the next game is Xenoverse 2.

 

[Welfare]

It was higher than the last couple of DB games in Japan, so that's good. Also the new movie will probably boost sales.

 

[FootballFan]

Holy shit, really?

Maybe this game will break a million. I think the last few were just shy of that.

I just checked the website I and many of my mates buy games from.

Both the regular version and the one that comes with preorder DLC have both been sold out on PS4, as has the Travel Trunks edition.

The Xbox one version with the preorder DLC is also out of stock. As is the Xbox 360 preorder DLC one.

That is pretty crazy. I hope it sells well because I can see great potential for the sequel.

 

[YRuafraid]

Before we all talk about sequels and stuff.... how is THIS game?

The videos look phenomenal, but I never played a DBZ game besides Hyper Dimenson on SNES. Anyone have the game already who can testify that his is a solid fighting game?

 

[Revven]

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the Kinect game and Battle of Z underperform? I know Ultimate Tenkaichi probably didn't despite how terrible it was, many fans placed too much faith in what was being shown to them pre-release was actually good for the series. >_>

I'd hope Xenoverse would hugely surpass anything since Raging Blast, sales-wise, given what it offers and everything.

It actually is outpacing The Order in reserves as a company

Not saying it will sell more but this game will debut great in NA. Biggest DBZ in a long time

 

[NoirVisage]

That's it, i'm done , I won't be investing in this at all, The only thing I really saw as a positive for this game was CAC and the possibility of battles against created teams.. I didn't care that the deathball exploit and OP Z souls were going to ruin online (i don't play online) and i was getting used to my favorite characters simply not being there because Dimps is pretty lazy, but now that I know for a fact you cannot fight your other CAC's in any type of versus or battle mode, only a copy of your own, I have no real reason to play this game..maybe one day i'll "rent" it from gamestop like I did for Battle of Z and give it a fair chance (Battle of Z was still garbage though)

Sorry if asked but is this game split screen PVP?

I'm just quoting you because I like your avatar, thats some good cosplay.

Can't say for Battle of Z but i doubt they expected much from Kinect anyway. I'm pretty sure that Ultimate Tenkaichi sold better than Raging Blast 2 but I don't think that's saying too much.

Good news then, it'd be nice to see these games back in the public consciousness.

My store can just be an outlier of course, but yeah its more. I remember checking how many pre-orders we had yesterday and I was impressed. I'm getting it as well so I'm pumped to give it a shot tomorrow.

 

[The Shogun]

That's pretty friggin' crazy.

Yeah DBZ doing shockingly well.

Like wow. Never would I have anticipated this.

 

[WelfareBurger]

This game just seems like it's gonna sell easily. DBZ is still popular, combined with the idea of creating your own fighter, going online with your friends to do quests and unlock clothing/moves, and PvP. But most importantly, based on impressions, it seems to be a pretty damn good game.

I'm not surprised about hearing how well it's doing.

 

[Yaari]

I hope we will get more details on Season Pass soon. Can't get into something without knowing what is to come. Made that mistake once, not again.

Game looks great but I still hope we will get the cell shaded graphics like the Naruto games one day. It can't get any better than that.

 

[MaximumSpider]

A Xenoverse 2 will more characters, more CaC features, and improved gameplay would probably be the best DBZ ever.

 

[Kissenkopf]

That's pretty friggin' crazy.

It sure is and damn it makes me happy.

Just look at this OT...20 paged already. Thats pretty impressive for an non Tekken/Street Fighter Fighting game. Good to see so many DB(Z) fans coming together to enjoy a great game with their favourite licence.

 

[ArchedThunder]

A Xenoverse 2 will more characters, more CaC features, and improved gameplay would probably be the best DBZ ever.

They have a starting point for a lot of characters too. There are tons of outfits CaCs got of characters not in the game, they could also give outfits to characters that are in the game that for some reason they didn't get despite being in for CaCs (like Yardrat armor for Goku). Hopefully next year's game is a console port of Zenkai so that Xenoverse 2 can have 2 years of dev time so it can get lots of new characters and CaC stuff as well as still having a big original story.

 

[FootballFan]

I think Ghost Nappa's voice being there must have something to do with it being sold out in some places

 

[ReplacementPelican]

I wouldn't be surprised, their episodes average 2.5 million. If everyone who watches TFS bought this game it'd be a smash hit.

 

[Agent_ShortBus]

I couldn't wait til Friday to play and bought the PS4 version also.

If anyone wants to play later my psn and steam is: Agent_ShortBus

Embargo for this piece of software and saturated wonderful colours?
I have not too much money left for this month, but if it's worth I could easily fall into temptation.

I heard embargo lifts at midnight EST from a youtuber or two.

 

[Onimusha78]

Very tempted to impulse buy this before midnight for the preorder bonuses, but it doesn't look nearly as fluid as Tenkaichi 3 from what I've seen

 

[Hyrule Warrior]

I've been trying and trying to get input on this game on what it's quality is like, but all I see constantly are people comparing it to old DBZ games, or other anime games like Naruto, and I can't make heads or tails of the discussion because I haven't played a DBZ game since...probably Budokai 2 on PS2. =/

I wish I could get a better idea on whether or not this game might be fun for someone like me to play or not, but when it's always a referential discussion like that, I feel out of the loop. I loved DBZ back in the early 2000s, which is when I played the PS2 games...I kinda just got tired of the annual sequels for a while, which is why I stopped buying them. Especially when it basically told the same story over and over.

The whole create a character thing piqued my interest in this game when I first heard about it a few months ago, and that's kinda all I know.

The story is completely new since you're going through the timeline and "fixing" things. The combat seems like it has a good amount of depth (or at least a satisfying amount for a DBZ game). I don't expect a super deep system but I also don't want a dull 1-button attack snoozefest. Seems like the game does allow for boring play (a lot of videos have people just doing the same thing over and over, boring to watch) but there's also videos of people who know what they're doing and it looks pretty great.

Either way, I'm buying it more for nostalgia's sake than anything else, and impressions have been really positive for the most part. The only real complaints I've seen are about the missing characters, lack of cinematic ultimate moves, lack of environmental destruction, and focus more on competitive play than making something like the show.

I don't care about any of those so I think I'll enjoy it quite a bit.

 

[Diablohead]

A Xenoverse 2 will more characters, more CaC features, and improved gameplay would probably be the best DBZ ever.

It needs to only be for current gen and pc so we can have bigger stages and/with more destruction, ps360 are really hold xenoverse back.

 

[The Shogun]

I'm really curious how the PC version will be...

jeeze to pre order or not

 

[V_Arnold]

I have a VERY bad pc by today's standards and the PC version runs flawlessly.
You guys should not worry at all

 

[BobTheFork]

I don't think I can pick this up right away but the inclusion of Ghost Nappa voice means I must own a copy soon. SOON

Welp just bought it. Hopefully the port is solid!

 

[Revven]

Ghost Nappa is by far one of the top 5 features of this game alone.

Wait, where/how did you get your hands on one? I didn't think anyone had it since afaik, there's no PC footage anywhere

Thank you, great info!

I'm exactly in the same situation. I remember the incredible number of afternoons spent fighting on budokai 2 with my friend, so I know what nostalgia is.
To be honest I have not figured out yet how this game is: the hub, the story and the online mode are not very clear in my mind.

I think I will wait the reviews for a complete idea.

 

[The Shogun]

I actually held off for a second on PC. Is anyone running a pre order sale?

This is where I bought the pc version from G2PLAY. I've bought from here a couple of times and haven't had an issue yet.

Review code, steam. I cant tell much due to embargo, but "it is good" is safe to say

This too.
It needs to be current gen only.

 

[patchday]

Wow Amazon really did run out of ps4 copies just checked. Was thinking to buy digital anyways.

Man I have so few physical copies of ps4 games its a shame. Basically none really beyond Diablo ultimate editon

 

[Dereck]

A Xenoverse 2 will more characters, more CaC features, and improved gameplay would probably be the best DBZ ever.

Which is why this game is a hard sell, I've been in the sequels will be better than the first iteration rodeo too many times with DBZ games, I'll rent it maybe

Could end up being a Burst Limit situation. I don't see any reason to pass on this if the only reason is the potential sequel could possibly be better. I'd never play any video games if I had that mentality, especially the fighting genre.
