I still can't believe Dabura isn't playable in XV.

Though, I get the feeling Trunks was way off when he assumed Towa was out for revenge.

I have a message from another time...

[up][up] Agreed.

[up][up][up]I mean.

Being completely serious here, Xenoverse's time travel frankly reminds me a lot of Faction Paradox, and that's always a good thing in my book.

Unlock Potential has a different effect from the skill Gohan uses, so no all-race spamming, but Elder Kai increases drop rates!!!

When you have Old Kai as your master and speak to him, he has two (could be more) different dialogues where he'll tell you your future. Both dialogues mention a tree (I believe he says golden tree in the lucky one), and afterwards will either say your luck is normal or great.

That's not what you said yesterday.

And you're still not saying what the Unlock Potential skill actually does.

Old Kai saying things to you doesn't sound like something that would have an impact on the effects of a skill, or vice-versa.

Yesterday I had no reason to believe Dimps would give us a different version of Unlock Potential instead of the one Gohan uses.

The luck manipulation I posted about isn't a skill.

...Goddammit I haven't even used Gohan so I don't even know what his actually does.

EDIT: Wait, have I used Gohan?

...Can't remember.

Oh, I get it now!

Potential Unleashed is like a non-spammy version of SSJ (or probably more powerful than that), all the awesome buffs w/o the crazy cheapness.

Gohan's unlocked potential, it's basically Super Saiyan 3. Our version is a reskinned Kaioken

Welp, a Butoden game may finally come westward this time!

After 6 games and over 20 years.

SWEET!

Extreme Butoden, please do not get my hopes up only to suck like the 3-D games have done in recent years.

"But Drake, what about Xenoverse?"

I stand by my disdainful statement.

I mean, I think Xenoverse feels sorta unfinished.

Like, what was the turn-around time, even?

It's not like the first Budokai or Budokai Tenkaichi were the best ones.

If I remember correctly, 2 years of planning and about a year of development.

...A year of development?

A year?

In this console generation!?

How in the hell did the game manage to not be an unplayable mess?

The first Burst Limit wasn't great either. I'm still waiting for the inevitable "sequel that comes back and kicks all the asses" like Budokai and Tenkaichi had.

I mean, this is basically Battle of Z 2, and while certainly better than Battle of Z, it still has many deep-rooted flaws.

I'll give Xenoverse credit for bouncing back with the best sequel ever when it does. Until then, A for Effort, but D for Execution.

But without Xenoverse, we wouldn't have Dumplin.

Xenoverse is the best Dragon Ball game i've ever played. It's also the only Dragon Ball game i've ever played. I only got it because I got to make a character.

Am I right in assuming that nobody cares?

The 3rd DLC pack for Xenoverse is on the Playstation Store, but it's not going to download for another few hours.

We are all a part of Dumplin.

EDIT: I sorta like how the Parallel Quest where you get Super Vegeta sorta recreated an old DBZ game.

Where you bring Krillin to Frieza, and let Frieza's Final or 100% Power Forms kill him, and then Goku shows up, and turns Super Saiyan, and then Vegeta turns up, and if Vegeta survives and you beat Frieza he turns Super Saiyan and you fight him.

That was a game thing.

...Wish I could remember which one exactly but it was.

I think it was neat.

...Kinda wish that there were more references like that.

And less GT because, frankly, fuck GT.

...Also, I do wish that the Budokai Tenkaichi games had gotten an HD re-release.

So, what do y'all think the chances of a new console Butoden game is?
