Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2: How Different is it From the First Game?


This raised the question of how different this game would actually be from the original. The overall concept is exactly the same. Take your Z-Warrior and fight to preserve all the best Dragon Ball Z moments and contest the evil conspiracy that is taking place. Considering the fact that there are missions based on exact moments that were in the first Xenoverse, it’s important that we ask the question – “what will be different in Xenoverse 2?” To be completely honest, not a whole lot. But the great thing to know for fans of the last game is that the biggest pitfalls are going to be addressed in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2.

Firstly, the game’s hub world Conton City is seven times larger than Toki Toki City in the first game. The beta overall felt much more interactive than the first game, and the ability to use vehicles adds to the social experience. Eventually, there will even be a way to earn your flying license so that you can Superman around Conton City with your friends when you’re not on missions fighting. As the beta was limited, I’m not certain what it takes to get your flying license but I do love the fact that it creates an objective outside of the missions themselves and it’s something that will no doubt add to the social element. Furthermore, I hope when the final game releases we’ll discover that there’s a range of different challenges and mini-games in Conton City that players can participate in. Being that Conton City is the place to meet other players, it needs to really feel like a community that we want to engage with, and I believe that’s exactly what developer Dimps is going for.

Secondly, it seems like Dimps and Bandai Namco will aim to address some of the biggest criticisms when it comes to customization. I was satisfied with the last game because it allowed us to create characters based on a number of different races. The problem was that the Saiyan race seemed like the most satisfying race to play by default. This was because your Super Saiyan transformation gives you a visual change in addition to the buffs you get while fighting. This time around, the other races will have transformations. We’re not entirely sure on the extent of these transformations, but it sounds positive and this should help balance out the appeal of the other race options.

On top of that, I noticed there are much more hairstyles and facial options when creating your character. I also noticed more clothing options in the various stores around Conton City. Hopefully, this means we’ll be able to build a much more unique warrior in the final game. You can even import the same character you created in the first game.

Finally, there’s the story and the missions. Although many of the missions seem like repeats of the first game, we do know that the story itself is completely different this time around. After the events of the first game, your Time Patroller helps to develop the organization (hence your character having its own statue as shown in the gameplay video). However, trouble presents itself as history begins changing once more. This will unravel a brand new conspiracy. In addition to that, we’ll also get to revisit scenes from popular Dragon Ball Z movies and the Dragon Ball Super series that we never got to visit in the first game.

Overall, you could certainly make a case for the game being slightly rehashed based on the game mechanics and repeated missions. The fighting element feels very much the same, except it’s a little faster being that they’ve managed to make the jump from 30fps to 60fps. The visuals have also been greatly improved since the first game, with additional shading and lighting techniques added. But beyond these few changes, it seems that the best thing Xenoverse 2 will have to offer is more content for both Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Xenoverse(1) fans. This is enough for me personally, being the Dragon Ball fanboy that I am. But for others, this may not be enough to get excited about.

The beta will open up to the public on October 14th; be sure to get online and try it out for yourself so you can form your own opinions. Also look out for the official release of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 on October 25th.
 
I was obsessed with xenoverse 1 but I sold it before I even beat the game :smh: the game is crazy repetitive. The visuals are amazing, the fight mechanics...are not but it's a game any Dragon ball fan must spend some time with. Making your own character alone is worth it.

RIP Saiya-jin X :wow: I didn't level you up enough

I got stuck at the part where you fight cell and his mini versions. My damn help was useless and i kept getting washed :lol: so i stopped playing
 
If you picked anything other than a saiyan in xenoverse you were doing yourself a disservice.

Super Saiyan + Recoome Ultra Fighting Bomber == OP

That combo would win you ANY match. Get you out of ANY bad situation.

Just go super saiyan and then spam it at your leisure. So broken

Best dbz game. Hands down

Just Looked It Up On YouTube & It Looks Legit... They Need To Link Up With Capcom & Let Them Do A
DBZ Vs Streetfighter
2D Fighter With Less Focus On Over The Top Ki Blast & More Of A Striking Based Fighting System
That Would Be Pure Greatness

If you want a SFA/SF3 styled fighter, a small group of hobbyist built probably the best DBZ game imo next to Hyper Dimension. In reality, it might be better. 20+ years newer also, so obviously it should be.



I'm an old school CPS2/CPS3 arcade fan. So games like these are right up my alley.

They just dropped the "Majin build", I guess thats the Buu Saga patch




Best dbz game. Hands down

this game kicks a** !!!! i got it back in the days on my SFC copybox, DBZ HD and DBZ2 on the SFC were the best DBZ games back in the 90s, back in the 90s if you were asian and you dont have a SFC with with DBZ and SSF2 you were not part of the gamers squad

Man I used to play it on my old gateway computer with ZSNES back in like 99-00'

I could only dream of having it on Snes back then.

This was my gateway to so many games :smokin

Yep pretty much all i did and how i beat story mode
 
Best Dragon Ball Z Game of All Time is Budokai 3

My Favorite Dragon Ball Z Game of All Time is Budokai Tenkaichi 3
repped. This man knows :smokin

You weren't seeing me on the sticks when it game to Tenkaichi. Could honestly say that was the first game I ever mastered.
 
Tenkaichi 2 and 3 are sorely underrated. Tenkaichi 3 expecially for giving us so many random and out of left field characters like Arale, Tao Pai Pai, Tamborine, King Vegeta, King Cold etc.

Meanwhile Xenoverse series gives us characters gamers have been playing as for the past 20 years and has the actual new characters in the franchise as preorder bonuses or DLC :x

Preorder now to play as the only true central antagonist of Dragonball since Majin Buu! YUCK

True, the only game I really play now is Xenoverse. My Playstation 3 (the one that plays Playstation and Playstation 2 games) is broken and I need to get it fixed.
