Why I Hate DragonBall Xenoverse 2

[@SlyBandit98]

[@aminenamga8548]

I've done the PQ mission for toppo stupid finger volley attack that I want just to have it over 40 times no cap, I have done the mission 1-3 a day with my brother since june too august of 2024. Wtf. Dbz xenoverse 1 was worse, I had seen grind for spiritbomb for 10s of hours, getting perfect, doing the needed quest and everything. Still didn't get it. I for sure did the mission well over 50 times and still nothing. My bro got it 1st try! No special ending either, F me! Hate rng. I carried spirit bomb over to xeno2 so I wouldn't have to grind that mission again, just incase

Funny thing about that...Not only did they add both of those things to Breakers but, also hair physics but, only chose to add that for xeno on Beast Gohans Bang. They need to have every piece of clothing color customizable, custom aura's inside the game (NOT the lobby😑), Different battle stances another thing breakers has through transforming with a transphere, more than one accessory slot...do I need to say what game has that?? Ive played this on and off for 7-8 Years but, played heavy almost every day the first few years I was hooked on the idea the potential it had. I dont even think of it anymore unless a dlc comes out. Im obligated to return with over 62 days (Xbox as a Adult) and over 2,000 hours (PS4 as a Teen) of time spent on it. I dont even play anything besides PQ's atp I help other people out. I come back because of the amount of fun Ik I can have in it but it has major issues for me. In terms of PvP and how toxic it is. Shouldn't have to say it but "Say 😁". Even now the "Festival of universe's" is just a way to drip feed content that should have been in the game day one. Oh I almost forgot...our true worst enemy the A....I.... Never have I ever fought and thought my teammates are my enemies. Because they will Interrupt your combos, knock them away(Dash Kick 💯 of the time), or be completely defenseless in those protection missions. RNG. Out of every DB game I ever played Raging Blast Gameplay wise was my favorite thing ever and always wanted something like it since. Sparking Zero is much looser feeling than that for sure but that foundation is almost the same. Everything I could do there I could do here. Xenoverse 2 has the POTENTIAL to be a FAR more enjoyable game just from the CAC aspect for me but it STILL isnt there. I atleast like that Fu most likely will be straight evil and give us our own personal villain that actually interacted with us multiple times almost had a Brotherly Bond🗿. I still like it (The game) but also hate it. Last little Bit.

What he failed to include as a PC gamer who also enjoys mods is that whenever XV2 has an update it will break your mods. The reason he needs to use the skill editor is because the character file is corrupted sometimes during these updates as well so you have to make a new character. One of my favorite mods for transformations relies on outdated mods that havent been touched since 2020 (Lazy's auras looking at you). XV2 is garbage on PC the custom forms are nonsense anyways.

With the sheer amount of games that are trying to be live service games, this one tried, failed, and is now living on as a sort of single player experience. Plus, now there’s Sparking Zero if you want to go crazy fighting people online. I may have also become somewhat numb to the RNG grind because of the first game though, back then I spent several hours a day for days grinding one mission for the Z sword. 😅

[@zenix6467]

In the words of TFS Krillin "OH MY GOD SOMEONE FINALLY PUT IT INTO WORDS" I cannot DESCRIBE how much I went from loving this game to absolutely hating it, I've been a fan of it for almost its ENTIRE LIFE and only realized how bad the game was during the time Dimps forgot to program Super Saiyan Blue Evolution as a free update SOMEHOW. Ever since I've been wary of my love for Xenoverse, the community sure as hell did not help and every time I replayed the game with a new character I would get angrier and angrier with the game for other shit it failed to do as a GAME less so a Dragon Ball Game. - The Story Mode is shit and is just a rehash of Xenoverse 1's Story except with LESS what-if scenarios (Crazy how fucking TENKAICHI GAMES managed to do that more properly than this game.) and the worst the time alteration will get is a movie character being in the main story or simply just LIE TO YOU (example being when Gohan goes Super Saiyan 2, Trunks says the Cell Jrs being there is the time alteration WHEN THERE WERE ALREADY THERE IN THE MAIN STORY) moreover, I find it hilarious that Dragon Ball fans will get on Kakarot for repeating the story of Dragon Ball Z but bats an eye when Xenoverse 2 rips off Xenoverse 1's story but for some reason Old Kai was added to the group for no reason other than to continuously say "Who is that guy" every time a Movie Villain shows up. Circling back to the Time Alterations, it is a mind fuck how they simply didn't bother to add something different to make the Time Alterations be ALTERATIONS other than the villains getting stronger, like I know they can't use DBH stuff but at least come up with something new of your own, Raging Blast gave us SUPER SAIYAN 3 VEGETA AND BROLY yet the most creative this game will get is a fuck ass "Supervillain" Form. Oh, and just to show how fucking bad Xenoverse 2's story is they added a DLC allowing players to experience Xenoverse 1's story which not only is scummy as fuck when it's literally the same story but better but highlights other issues within the game like staying in your transformation during cutscenes. The DLC stories are just as bad with the SLIGHT exception of the Goku Black Saga but that does the same as I said prior and makes Goku Black stronger and bring in Movie Villains, it's not an actual alteration. The Fu DLC while being actual alterations and genuinely the only fun I ever had in this fucking game is also stupid considering Fu is just....a nothing character and doesn't really move the plot, he just fucks around for "Funsies" and turns Dabura into stone and maybe has you fight MUI Goku but what pisses me off about him is that he gives the player the illusion of choice to "Help out Fu" which has no repercussions whatsoever and you're right back to try to stop him from altering timelines. The Dabura DLC pissed me the hell off mostly because he's just a character that pops up, does essentially nothing due to you having Fu on your side, and immediately DIES in the same DLC he was brought into so Fu can go back to being the "Villain" of this mess of a story. - The TP Medals in this fucking game are atrocious and now that it's essentially been replaced with STP Medals (which people who don't have an Online Subscription cannot get) is so fucking annoying because most of your time grinding for TP Medals hasn’t changed to be any more fun, optimal, or fast than it was when this shit fest of a game came out, it's either gather the Dragon Balls (which requires RNG), Do Parallel Quests (which will no longer give TP once you already finished them), Do Expert Missions (Same issue as the PQ), Do Raids (which requires an Online Subscription), Do Story Modes/DLC (Same issues as the PQs and Expert Missions), all of this shit just to get a BARE MINIMUM of what most of the shit in the TP Medal Shop have because they are overpriced as fuck for no reason (ESPECIALLY THE CC BUDDY). - The characters are fucking awful, it pisses me off how people will try to defend the game by having multiple characters with the EXACT SAME COMBOS by trying to fit the Tenkaichi Games into that same bubble when not only Tenkaichi actually CHANGED the combos for every single form (even in Sparking 0) but DOESN'T TAKE UP MOST OF THE ROSTER WHEN THEY HAVE THE SAME COMBOS AND ANIMATIONS. Not to mention the models look fucking atrocious, the newer ones lesso but the older models are so awful especially in Super Saiyan where they constantly looked like they were dipped in fucking oil which is stupid because some cutscenes in Xenoverse 1, and the Xenoverse 1 DLC have shown the models without the weird oil shit and it looks BETTER, every character (kinda) has hair physics except for the player character for some reason, and everyone also just has a blank expression aside from the obvious Idle Animation, one of the examples is Caulifla where people praised her having an animation when she headbutts but if you go into photo mode and zoom in on her face she shows NO EMOTION, and the biggest example being once again the player character, no matter what emote they make in the game they still have a blank expression which doesn't give any character to them whatsoever speaking of the Player Character. (1/2)

[@zenix6467]

- THE. PLAYER. CHARACTER. (+ Customization) Nothing pissed me off more when realizing how bad of a game Xenoverse 2 is than the lack of customization, depth, or overall care the Player Character has gotten over the years despite it being the literal poster child of the entire game and the character a lot of people are going to be playing, I already discussed the facial animations so I'll get to the obvious issue, TRANSFORMATIONS. First of all, the Super Saiyan forms look awful, ignoring the issue I already had, they don't have traits the transformations should have like Super Saiyan God not making your body slimmer or Super Saiyan Blue Evolution not making you buffer, or I dunno THE FUCKING HAIR STANDING UP but that's an obvious issue that has been complained about for years so I'll get to something else. The game has an obvious Saiyan Bias (despite getting fucked over the hardest with Transformations that should be in the game day 1 *COUGH* SUPER SAIYAN 4 *COUGH*) and even ignoring that the transformations the other races are getting still fucking suck, Power Pole Pro is just making the earthling character's base combo just the Power Pole Pro Super Skill with some added animations that and Golden are the least of my issues. Giant Namekian despite being a form the Player Characters have is not something Piccolo or Slug have which is stupid and what's even more stupid are the moves the form gives you because it's all just the same move just at a different angle and a shockwave attack which screams lazy, but the worst one is Purification which is literally turning your Majin (by the way we still don't have a Super Buu type Male Majin) into Kid Buu combos and all paired with animations the original Kid Buu should've gotten, that is PEAK laziness but it wasn't even the last time they were lazy with Majins, even if you have Black Sclera, if you go Beast with a Majin they just magically turn your Sclera to white, same for bald characters with Beast which is again extremely lazy. Second, Customization has been a criticism thrown at this game for a good reason because it's either the Devs were very bias, held off on what they could've made in order to sell it for more money, or simply did not give a fuck. I know you talked about most of the CaC clothing issues but like damn if Ultimate Tenkaichi allowed CaCs to get their Instructor's combos then what stops Xenoverse from doing the same, especially with THIS AMOUNT OF CHARACTERS but no give us fucking LIMIT BURSTS the most idiotic shit that came out of this game. Going into the partner character customization, they are more free than the CaC clothes but are confusing as fuck as to what you can or cannot color, like Vegeta's Jump Suit, Cooler's Purple Body, DBS Broly's Pants, Tapion's Pants, Android 16's Jump Suit, and other examples that I'm forgetting because if it isn't obvious, I'm writing this out of pure rage. I could go on and on but I want to get into my final gripe with this game and it's the: - Parallel Quests and CPU biases are what made me waver on this game and soon enough gave me a burning hatred for it later on, nothing pissed me off more in this game than how they decided to handle the Parallel Quests and especially the CPU, You already talked about the Parallel Quests main problem that being the stupid RNG but the CPU is also one of the Horsemans in this game. It has been 8 WHOLE YEARS, 8 YEARS and they do not give any, NOT ONE single update to how these CPU work especially when they are working with you, they can be the fucking DUMBEST CPUs to ever exist while the opponent CPU is cracked in every since of the word, not to mention the DAMAGE BUFF they get in some parallel quests to make the fucking quest harder than it already is, plus there are times where it's JUST CHARACTERS TALKING wasting the time you have because YOU ARE LIMITED. In conclusion, this video made me feel validated in what I've been saying ever since that fucking SSG Vegeta, Ribrianne, and SSBE Vegeta DLC, this game is a disappointing, rushed, inexcusable, scummy mess that has only gotten worse over time, adding updates to character's moves that SHOULD'VE BEEN IN THE GAME WHEN THEY CAME OUT like Gogeta's God Punisher, Zamasu's Instant Severance, and the SUPER SPIRIT BOMB. Not to mention whatever the Ultra Supervillain characters which is literally just a worse-looking model being resold with oves they should've had in the base game. What pisses me off the most is that Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 had the potential to become the best Dragon Ball Game of all time yet every chance they are given to prove that they immediately throw it in your face, gives you something you didn't want and shoves a middle finger in it for good measure, it sucks that a couple of FANS could make a Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 than the actual developers, this game does not deserve the Modding Community it has ESPECIALLY THE EXPANSION AND THE REVAMP TEAM. I know you're more optimistic about this game but I personally am not and honestly hope this game dies out soon. But, thank you for making this video and I'm sorry for making this script long comment on this video.

Id rather consistent updates/fixes rather than DBXV3 that'll just have us pay for content we paid for already in the previous. 14:21 Why bro 😭

[@superbad8008]

So much potential squandered. It’s the only dragon ball game I can really get into, but the customization and transformations have infinite missed possibilities.

[@ninyaninjabrifsanovichthes45]

The inability for you to change the colors on 99% of outfits for your CAC is such a cruel joke man

[@Bugermanchi]

This game is literally what got me into dragon ball. CaCs where my favorite concept in this game, bought this game when akira toriyama recently passed away. I still had fun with it but there are still some issues like why are some character just exclusive to some races, it can clearly be on some races. There’s also a complaint that most attacks in this game just feel way too similar, it’s either a energy ball or a laser beam. I also hate the way you have to get 6 star QQ bang is through multiplayer At the end the game still made parts of my childhood but do we really need a xenoverse 3

[@PerfectTroy1]

You hit so many of the absolutely baffling and frustrating decisions Dimps made in this game. They really should watch this video.

I doubt they will tho

W underrated youtuber, I have a Major soft spot for this game due to this being my first dragon ball game and my first opening to dragon ball as a whole. But even I can't excuse this game's flaws, thanks for being entertaining. Hope to watch you grow gang 🧏‍♂️🗿

Thx man! To me this game was a dream come true. The first Dragon Ball game to create your own character as far as I know(we don't talk about Ultimate Tenkaichi). I was so happy to play it. But now...

It's even funnier when you realize Sparking Zero ALSO has no crossplay.

That's because they knew not many ppl would play breakers so they had to give it something. That's why they keep unique things in it, The game didn't sell well and now it's free.

[@foxingame6644]

Breakers only got it because the game's player base was too small to have crossplay, while dbx2 is getting to the point where it's hard to do anything but dlc quests online without crossplay. Sparking Zero doesn't have it but it doesn't need it to easily get into matches and if most of your friends have the same console you're perfectly fine, or just play via steam remote play if you have a pc

8:13 about the crystals, you can gust give a gift to FU from the TP Shop that will give you 10 crystals. Since you are on PC, you can edit the amount of TP medals you got to infinitely but the crystals, just edit in the max crystals, or simple edit in the skills you wanted to unlock For console, the best we can do is use a save editor to either give us max TP or use someone else Max save to relieve the grinding. Sure that’s not ideal for the console players case cause you would need to buy a save editor or something like that, but on PC will automatically let you just do it for free. Takes out the grinding and ruins the fun? Well if it’s a hassle to get through the legit way, might aswell use the tools you got to save your time.

[@estandolore]

I remember the fake leaks that said "Xenoverse 3 is in development and will come out in 2020 and it will have the following features: Hair will change when transforming into any SSJ form. The Bio Android species. Subclasess (Pureblood or Hybrid for Saiyans, Android or Superhuman, 5th Form or Golden, be a healer like Dende or a Fighter like Piccolo). The basic combo stat and special strike stat will merge so they can add the Magic stat, Majin and Nameks have the most potential in this stat." Among some other really fucking cool things.

[@SeanAkolom]

God damn that's so much dlc compared to when I last played back in 2018. I was thinking about buying this game again for nostalga and to finish where I left off. I think i'm better off buying sparking zero during black Friday or some shit. Imma just watch the dlc story on youtube at some point

[@yoshistar8985]

What broke me was just how hard it is to hit these long ultimates on the cpu that admittedly look pretty cool. I stamina break them and then a piece of the stage gets in the way, or my team mate cpus blast them out of the way, or the move just decides it doesn’t want to work, or since they recover stamina faster than us they recover before the move finishes, THAT I ALREADY HIT the and evasive skill in the middle of the move. I’m done with this game imma just move onto sparkling 0

[@KunoTheBaku]

Quit the game when they released blue Gogeta and super Broly for these same reasons, if not more. Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks this way.

[@jonahpainter6287]

I've recently started to replay it before sparking zero. Starting a new character without any previous saved data is miserable, and without the good online functionality, it feels very lonely. It's so weird walking throughout the city, seeing all the people's avatars, and never getting to interact because you can't find a game.

[@timekreepers]

You know honestly. You’ve made a lot of good points. I’ve been playing xenoverse since day 1 so I understand the frustration. It’s fine to make an unbalanced game (like certain characters being op) but to have the netcode fight against you is always infuriating. I feel like netcode isn’t as bad of a problem on consoles. But to counter myself I rarely do pvp since I suck at it

[@CaineTSF]

Quality content. Hope this goes far. XV2 is such an oddball. I still have fun with it (in offline) , im sure even with sparking I'm going to come back to this game every once and a while just because I kinda have fun trying to create different builds with mentors. Unironically the biggest issue I've faced is the wigs section and not mentioned in the video but the lack of wig selection. Why do we have a king vegeta wig but no (base) vegeta wig?

To your point at 6:42, I was grinding for the goku black fit that’s a reward for finishing pq 108 (since I had the top but never got the pants/shoes) and I got the shoes pretty quick, I think it took me like 2 tries, but it took me another day and a half of playing pq 108 over and over and over to get the pants. By the end I had 28 tops, 31 pairs of the shoes, over 50+ of the same super souls, and an abundance of capsules I’ll never ever use. It took me a fucking day and a half to get a pair of pants.

[@Amfneey]

I feel honored to be your 1000th subscriber man. Great video with great points! I personally like Xenoverse 2, I think it's a fun game, but honestly it does get a bit boring. The combat is very VERY lacking in terms of mechanics. If we could get a Xenoverse 3, with the exact combat of Sparking/Budokai Tenkaichi, along with the content and RPG aspects, I think we could have a near perfect Dragon Ball game. Since Sparking Zero took 5 years to make that alone, it would take quite a bit of time to make a Dragon Ball game with the fighting gameplay of Budokai Tenkaichi, and the RPG/MMO aspect of Xenoverse. I love the content in Xenoverse, but I perfer the gameplay in Sparking. For me, gameplay is what makes the game. Sometimes a lot of content doesn't matter if it feels bloated, repetitive, and meaningless (like a lot of the content in Xenoverse). Keep up the great work man!

[@SlyBandit98]

I used to love this game. Within my first year or 2 of playing it. When i started my YT, it became the maon basis of my channel. Then i started seeing its flaws. Then i would go weeks without playing it. Then a month. Then months plural. It got to the point i would only get on the game once a month just to do challenges for Breakers. This game could've been so much better man

[@DarkLordofTheRizz]

Its aight. Its own charms and customizations keeps me coming back. The combat is still very shallow and broken, but it being broken is also partially fun. I still like it, but sometimes i need a break. The game would be more bareable if i could make PQ playlists and just have automatic teleportation around the hub vs me having to find a bot or wait for one to spawn in with the poor netcode.

Sparking zero is a 10/10 btw, definitely worth it

[@Re-Equalizer]

Nah bro you got it with these points. The moment you said you said you hate the missed potential of this game, you got me nodding in agreement. Also another random complaint about how Xenoverse 2 is handeled compared to breakers, hair physics. In the breakers, your CAC's hair has actual physics, it moves when you move and it keeps that when you go SSJ. Xenoverse 2 doesn't have that for some reason even tho the 2 games pretty much run on the same engine as far as i know. Now, hair physics not being there on it's own isn't really a big deal, but it does show a lack polish and care. Why bother putting it in breakers but not in Xenoverse 2, same with SSJ4, it just doesn't really make any sense from a logical and a business standpoint. Why not give the players what they've asked for since the launch of the damn game. Dimps literally has no excuse here. They're literally throwing away money.

[@Salty_Neko]

Ngl the only thing I don’t like with XV is the RNG. I did a PQ where I was trying to get divine wrath purification, it took me 17 tries. I got a Z rank and the ultimate finish multiple times, and I didn’t get it…only until I beat the quest with a C is when I got it. Neo Wolf Fang Fist also felt like it took forever to get. I really hate the RNG in this game and wish it was locked behind an Ultimate Finish. I understand wanting rewards to take effort, but it’s pretty dumb to have a player work their ass off, get an ult finish and Z rank without anyone dying, only for the game to roll a dice at the end of the quest and go “Nope, no skill/clothes for you”. Also, I do wish that for the CACs, they’d get a bit of an overhaul, like more hair options, and not needing to get a SEPARATE type of clothing JUST to change the colors

[@dfwstarboy6095]

I have such a love hate relationship with this game, its just so many good ideas with either ok or bad execution. its far from the worst dragon ball game, but in terms of online experience you will either a ok time or have to deal with some of the most frustrating online experiences in any dragon ball game

6:19 for me i get skills and supersouls faster when i spend tp medals for easy mode (which apparently doesn't change the drop rate ).

You can fix the rng problem with Picccolo suepr souls to get those missing skills, supers ouls, outfits, and artwork. For some worst PQ were you have escort certain npc for their health to be above certain percentage you need to use Energy Zone ultimate skill to heal them up. I am mainly PVE player that only has over 2000 hours, and there are problems like you said with netcode (since day one, and it will never get fixed), with certain skills not working, and grinding if you don't have a specific super soul (I still remember grinding over 2 years for "Breaker Energy Wave" ultimate skill from PQ 101). But overoll this game is really fun for me to play. Ps. They should add update to mute Bulma announcing Hero colosseum.
