Game is complaining that it needs to finish downloading before I can do the next mission, but as far as I can tell it's finished downloading. I reset the game and it still happened. Is this a bug?

 

[f@luS]

Just started playing. It looks quite good but mostly even that's sad it's not 60fps it doesn't feel like 30. Very smooth

 

[TheAusHulk]

Is it locked at 30fps just for consoles? What's it like on PC?

 

[Muzicfreq]

PC will have 60fps

Though I must say that locked 30 also works super well that it fooled me at first.

 

[Exploratory]

If anyone figures out the pre order stuff let me know.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Do I stick with one master? Piccolo doesn't seem to give me anything more to do after this first battle.

Nah. What you have downloaded is the PlayGo portion. Essentially, that allows you to play big games early before they finish downloading. To see how much you have left, go to the XMB, press options on the game icon then go to info and scroll to the bottom.

 

[Turin]

Seems pretty cool so far.

I still need to get used to the combat. It's been a very long time since I've tried a 3rd person DB game(8 years actually).

 

[k1t4j]

Went online and all I saw was Goku clones with Trunks Swords

I feel special being a really tall, buffed Namekian

 

[Dominator]

Damn I'm actually really hyped to play this. Last game I bought was Burst Limit, so its been awhile. I played the hell out of Budokai 1-3 and Tenkaichi 1-3 (3 especially, so much damn content). I played the Raging Blasts and Ultimate Tenkaichi, and they just didn't do it for me. UT and Battle of Z (only played the demo but it was enough) were the worst.

Heavy.com written review, Xbox One version:

Dragon Ball Xenoverse is one of the better franchise fighters to come out in a very long time. It’s immersive story mode leads to a more fulfilling experience that’s packed with interesting scenarios and intense battles. The much improved character customization mode, wealth of offline/online missions, beautiful graphics and familiar cast makes this fighter hard to beat. While we lament the lack of several missing fighters and the option to pick other modes from the main menu, these factors don’t hurt the overall experience of this great anime fighter.

Score: 8.75/10

Pros:

Fresh reimagining of the traditional storytelling of sagas
Fun character customization mode
Wide open hub world is packed with offline and online content

Cons:

Surprising array of missing character transformations and movie characters
Hub world replaces main menu mechanic of selecting other modes, which may be problematic for some

The lack of a quick, simple menu for some of the modes is a very good point.

Damn I'm actually really hyped to play this.

Yeah, I wasn't too excited about this few weeks ago, but with the increased footage recently, I'm now feeling this almost maddening itch to play it.

 

[Durden77]

I love me some DBZ....I might get suckered into another game if it's fun enough. I just don't know if I should go PC or PS4. Can you do local play on the consoles?

 

[Muzicfreq]

LOL someone named their character SSJ420DEVIL .... oh this is going to be glorious seeing the wacky names

 

[Kiyo]

How do you join a friends game?

 

[tuna_love]

I can't get online to work at all. On xbox. Do you have to reach a certain point in the story to unlock it?

 

[Muzicfreq]

I can't get online to work at all. On xbox. Do you have to reach a certain point in the story to unlock it?

Not too far in but you have to exit out to menu and go back in with your character and it will have 2 choices of modes.

Also looking around I can see why 30fps locked for consoles. TONS of effects going on even in town with outlines and stuff.

 

[T-Rex.]

Does SharePlay work?

 

[wilflare]

maybe I should buy this on Steam instead of PS4 lol

 

[Zalman]

This game is actually... good? Might pick this up when I get a PS4.

 

[Lanrutcon]

Waaaant this. In fact, gonna pick up a new controller for this.

 

[Muzicfreq]

why's that?

 

[ZeroX03]

For those having issues with the pre-order DLC. If you go to settings > PSN, you should find an option called "Restore Licenses" which is supposed to fix things like this when you can't access them. Works a treat for me!

 

[wilflare]

why's that?

for the 4K/60 support I guess.
told myself that
Multiplats - PC
Exclusives - Console

but hmmm :/

 

[k1t4j]

So guys does anyone know if when you are creating the CaC if the body/height has any impact on the stats?

 

[INFINITY TR1GG3R]

Probably a stupid question but in terms of online multiplayer, can you use your custom fighter and do co-op missions with your friends custom fighter, similar to Battle of Z last year?

 

[Muzicfreq]

I dunno, 30fps lock is buttery smooth for this game surprisingly. Only benefit for PC I can see is hopefully better AA and possibly the 4k... if they made the textures for it.
The one thing I wonder is how stable the PC community will be for the game which is why I personally chose PS4.

Thanks mate

That is the way you do co-op in this game, yes

 

[INFINITY TR1GG3R]

That is the way you do co-op in this game, yes

Thanks, seemed so, just didn't want to pre-order before getting clarification. Would suck if i couldn't play with my friend, we had a blast on Battle of Z last year!

 

[Hyrule Warrior]

Still so tempted to get this even though I have no idea if I'd like it as a game or not. I haven't really watched any DBZ movies, but I'm very nostalgic for the show.

Does this game have JPN voices by any chance?

It does

 

[Kiyo]

So only the parallel quests are able to be done in coop? Or can you do the time quests (I assume this is the main story?) with 2-3 people as well?

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

I'm REALLY enjoying this.
When you pick it up, its pretty simple but as you play more, you can definitely see that theres some depth.
Man, a Xenoverse 2 would probably be extremely good.
The base they have now is great.

 

[DeathGlobe]

I haven't played a recent dbz game since budokai and legacy of Goku. If this reviews good I might pick it up

 

[ViciousDS]

whens reviews going to start hitting? Only seeing some from really ad heavy sites.

 

[Texar]

I cant decide between buying this or Homeworld Remaster..gahhhh

 

[Melpontro]

Found the texture that controls the color/shading of the characters and did this as a quick test edit to Goku's chest model. I think a mod for flatter cel shading should be pretty simple to do.

Just a few more days until I can start testing on the PC version instead, which should save a lot of time.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

The lack of step cancels is disappointing.
Each character only has one or two strings that can be step canceled.

 

[The Last Wizard]

So are there any game breaking bugs or serious issues that need patting for single player/co op?
Thinking about heading to gs later and picking it up.

 

[Revven]

I heard in the Network Test characters had more step cancels but they took them away in the final version. :/

 

[SittingBass]

doesn't this come out today on Feb 24 here in the US?

 

[wowzors]

no reviews?

 

[Corgi]

is it a good time single player stuff?

I feel like I can have good fun if the single player is good and building custom character is addicting.

 

[Onimusha78]

I'm having a pretty good time playing single player just doing quests, unlocking costumes and moves for my character. Haven't unlocked online yet I don't think

 

[Revven]

doesn't this come out today on Feb 24 here in the US?

Yes.

no reviews?

Embargo lifted at midnight, dunno when reviews will go up -- maybe later today?

 

[DaSorcerer7]

Would like to know this as well.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Wow, thats upsetting.
Currently they can only be used effectively if the one or two strings you can do it with are blocked so you can make it safe.
If it hits, it sends your opponent flying and step canceling after this , in most cases, doesn't allow you to follow up.

Also, I've heard that jump cancels are in but I've yet to do it.

Oof, that sounds bad...

And yeah jump cancels are in but I don't have the game yet for myself to figure out which combos on which characters have it. I only know of one which chaospunishment (a guy on youtube) shows here with Future Trunks and he repeats the jump cancel several times. He also jump cancels the end of Trunks' throw by the looks of things at the end of the video.

Don't have the game yet (picking it up this afternoon) but from what I watched on streams the single player is really meaty compared to previous DBZ games and it's also really challenging (in a good way, not a cheap way). Some other GAFfers have made some early impressions posts from midnight last night in here if you need opinions from people who do have the game and etc.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

For some reason my DLC isn't showing up, the suits and SS4 Vegeta are nowhere to be seen.

Really enjoying it so far though, it's a lot more fun than even I expected.

.

Thanks for this.
I've noticed that he jump canceled with meter which I don't understand because when I try it with meter, I just teleport mid combo.
I can't even do it without meter but then again I'm using Goku so I'm not sure if he can even jump cancel.
