A few things that were missed, glossed over for anyone still curious about this game. I don’t blame missing these at all as this game is HUGE, I’m 600 hours deep and I’m sure Im still missing a ton of content. 1. Each of the races you assist with will give you your corresponding transformation when playing as that specific race. Ex: being a frost demon and helping frieza out will eventually grant you Golden Form. 2. Super Saiyan Transformation works entirely different from XV to Xv2. Your ki would drain over time in XV1 you could spam use any of your ki based attacks at no cost until your transformation would exhaust when the ki meter reaches 0. Most transformations in XV2 are maintained even if your ki is empty. In Xenoverse 1 the meta is basically sayians or die because of the ultimate spam at no cost and severe lack of transformation for other races. 3. Parallel quests have alternate win conditions / special requirements that would cause them to extend into new fights, these differ from mission to mission but some require you to keep a certain mission partner above a certain percent of health till the end of the mission or best certain enemies first etc. to unlock a hidden ending to it. You can only get Z rankings if you get the hidden ending (and fight really well?) and certain gear exclusively drops of you meet the challenging hidden endings. The DLC ones and some of the later parallel quests can be incredibly hard to do without online multiplayer but they have the best gear with the best stats/moves and transformations that have a rare chance to drop under those conditions. This game can become insanely grindy and challenging to get the best stuff. 3. Xenoverse 2 is treated sort of like an MMO in that it also gets very frequent free updates and quality of life updates, this game is pretty different from how it launched. 4. Custom Character Slots. When playing the weekly raids you have a chance to get custom character keys which allow you to customize specific characters from the DB Universe, giving them alternate moves, transformations, super souls and even stat adjustments and color customize their clothing. There is an NPC standing between the offline and online parallel quest desk that will offer you this functionality. 5. XV2 has micro transactions, it’s extremely easy to go without ever buying into it but you can purchase TP medals which are earned via parallel quests, raids etc. you can buy basically anything in game with TP medals and some very minor things can only be bought with TP medals. A lot of the aforementioned character customization of dragon ball characters (not your cac) are locked behind tp medals. TP medals are easily farmed so if a little grind here or there for the stuff you want it’s not hard or time consuming.
I had XV2 on ps4 and was very close to 100%, and decided to take a break, and uninstalled it, when I downloaded it again. any DLC item or attack was gone from my account and I had to recollect them. but other then that, great game lmao.
Just a small correction, you do not need to do the hidden conditions to get a Z rank in a mission. Just a few days ago I’ve done exactly that, got a Z rank on a mission without even unlocking the win conditions. The best way I know of to get a Z rank that seems to work 100% of the time is: hit an enemy with 20 regular ki blast ( the circle button on PlayStation or b button on Xbox) and grabbing your opponent 3 times. To make getting the rare drops to drop faster you need an ultimate finish, to get that you usually have to get beat the mission while still in your transformation or defeat the final enemy with an ultimate attack. By doing all of the above things you’re very likely to get a Z rank on any mission. I say likely because this method has yet to fail me but, I haven’t tried on harder missions to compare. But to be fair I’ve gotten Z rank on those harder missions without trying to do what I’ve mentioned above, but that’s probably because my build is op.
@@deuslouis7030 dude thanks for the insight on that. I rotate between my builds for sake of keeping the gameplay interesting but that would make sense. At some point I’d like to Z complete all of the PQ’s (not sure about DLCs)
@@Return2TheLiving No problem, I’m glad I could help. By the way what race do you play, and what build do you have at the moment? Sorry if I’m being nosy, just curious.
Xenoverse 2 is such a fun game. According to my PS5 time I have over 400 hours in this game. This does not include the apparent 300 hours on my old account and 60 hours on yet another account. I cannot believe I played this game this much. I always find myself coming back to it every now and then and end up creating a new character and replaying all the story and side quests lol
I think the problem with a Xenoverse 3 is that the length of what they would need to cover has doubled now that Super exists so its just easier to add to what they've already made
One thing I always was cool about these games is they brought back giant enemies. While limited to only great apes essentially it was cool to see then return. Would’ve been awesome if it was like Battle of Z or Ultimate Budokai where there were variants of giant characters with each having unique battles. But I still enjoyed what was brought in Xenoverse
Love these games to death, in spite of some of the quirks they have lol. I've been playing the Xenoverse games ever since they first came out and I've been watching your videos for a good minute now too, so seeing this in my feed was pretty exciting. This was a pretty nice video. You did a pretty good job covering them, though there is something I wanted to point out in regards to you not being able to find any online matches when playing the games. Xenoverse 2 has a pretty impressive and extremely dedicated modding community on PC, making crazy new characters, stages, options for your custom character, graphical changes, changing the way the auras for the characters look, additional music. It's pretty crazy how much modders are able to push the limits of the game once you look into it, and as you can guess, it's something that adds a ton of replay value to an already fairly expansive game. Chances are, if somebody has this game on PC, they have it specifically to mod it. The only real caveat to modding the game is that with the way the game works, you're pretty much forced to play the game offline if you want to mod it (there are ways to play modded online matches with friends if you all have the exact same modding setup but y'know, not with randoms or anything like that), so that's a pretty big factor into why you couldn't find anybody to play with. I have the game on both PS4 and PC and I can say for sure that it still has a pretty active playerbase and it isn't difficult at all to find lobbies with other people on consoles. Meanwhile, on PC, it's basically a wasteland when it comes to online because basically everybody is too busy screwing around with mods instead, and really, it's hard to blame them lol. I pretty much have the game on PC specifically because everything you could do with mods was just that enticing. Hopefully this clears that up for you and maybe gives you some interesting insight. :)
The chokehold that the Xenoverse games have on me as soon as they come out is something that no game has come close to in my entire life They got me through my last year of high school and the stress of being a freshman in college
Good for you, man! They may not be the greatest Dragon Ball Z games, but there was still plenty of innovation and fun to be had out of them; and even if they weren’t, the fact that they helped people like you, through rough times, speaks more volumes than public reception of the games in question.
I happily spent most of my teenage years playing xenoverse games im 20 now, I started off with Raging Blast 2 and I love how out of the box most development teams think when making DB games it just keeps me hooked on the series more and more
Same bro I’m 20 and I’ve been playing this game since the launch when I was 12. I enjoyed xenoverse games more than tenkaichi and budokai games i used to play with my friends
I heard that if you played Xenoverse 1 and continued to Xenoverse 2 in the bundle, at one point of Xenoverse 2 after you finished Xenoverse 1, your character from Xenoverse 1 comes back as a time breaker and you Xenoverse 2 fights your Xenoverse 1 character. That's all I remember from what I heard. Sadly, it's only available if you play the bundle that lets you play Xenoverse 1 and Xenoverse 2 right after you finish Xenoverse 1
If you have played xenoberse 1 and have a saved file on your account , you’ll fight your first cac in the game ,! It’s pretty cool, just wish I made my xrnoverse 1 cac better 😂
You didn't mention the Limit Burst in Xenoverse 2, you can do it by holding down the right stick and it knocks the enemy off you and gives you a special effect like attack up, auto health recovery, super armor or auto just guard
It’s crazy how this video pops up in my recommended when I literally downloaded Xenoverse 2 TODAY on my PS4 🤯🤯🤯🤯 Again another outstanding video from you know who 😌😌😌
BRO.... its not a spiritual successor to Budokai Tenkaichi at ALL. Its a straight up sequel/spinoff of the Budokai games. Made and produced by the developers of the Budokai Games, same/similar control schemes. All off the mechanics of XV are basically evolved from the mainline budokai series.
Awesome stuff, it seems like you got almost every major Dragon Ball gaming franchise. All you got left now is the Butoden series (Super Butoden 1, 2, 3, Buyu Retsuden, Shin Butoden, Ultimate Battle 22, Final Bout, Ultimate Butoden, Extreme Butoden, FighterZ) and the Heroes ports (Ultimate Mission 1, 2, X, World Mission). The problem is that most of those games were Japanese exclusive, save for ta couple of titles which actually did get released here (Ultimate Battle 22, Final Bout, Extreme Butoden, FighterZ and SDBH World Mission). I guess there's also the Legacy of Goku and Supersonic Warriors series, I know people love that.
I think it'd be awesome if you tried every Lego Star Wars game, the gameboy and ds versions too cause they're wildly different, would make for a banger series tbh. Great content as always!
God I played Lego Star Wars 2 on the DS and that game was broken lmao. My save file became locked because I would load into the cantina as a spaceship.
Man seeing Xenoverse 2’s dlc makes me always think, imagine if DLC was a thing back when Budokai Tenkaichi 3 came out and if it was still actively being updated til this day, would be the best DB game ever even tho it already kinda is
What are you smoking? If DLC was a thing in times o BT3 we would get about 50 characters in base game and all the rest would be dlc. Want movie villains? DLC. Want GT stuff? DLC. Want OG DB stuff? DLC. Want giant transformations? DLC. Want what if scenarios? DLC BT 3 is such an extensive game purely because there were NO DLC's for it
I too am replaying both Xenoverse 1 and 2 this year. I'm just grinding for levels in 1. I'm at the part where you have to fight Beerus and Whis at the same time. But I have beaten 2 in the past.
Honestly, one of my main problems with Xenoverse is that CAC is honestly very barebones in terms of actual options. I wish the CAC was on the level of something like Soul Calibur or better yet, the WWE games. Well that, and yeah the story. I will give credit in that the 3rd act in both games is where things get really crazy and we actually start getting original content. There's also all the absolutely crazy DLC story stuff which is what the main game should've been
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 1 was the game to get me into anime entirely lmao. Luckily I primarily watched a TH-cam series of it done by Pungeance, so he knew when something was wrong.
I did the same this past month, I played through Xenoverse 1's story, all its PQs and DLCs, and now I'm playing Xenoverse 2, with some DLCs already bought and a lvl 93 main cac
Man, I really wish the Dragon ball online servers were active. I was so happy when the revival was completed, I waited years to finally play the game. I envy the team who runs the servers to this day
Suggestions: - Megaman starforce - Inazuma eleven - final fantasy ...I've been suggesting these games from your early first videos, you've been liking them too so i hope you considered them at least.
For context: I try to tackle things I'm most familiar with first, or things that I think I can realistically do in a reasonable amount of time. Stuff like Final Fantasy will eventually be done on my channel, I'm just not sure how to approach such a massive series yet. I definitely want to do Inazuma Eleven at some point, and definitely all of the different Mega Man series!
@@Niosai i do understand. Having the motivation to play a large number of games can be challenging when facing new series specially the longest ones, but please I'm waiting for them videos haha. However here is some help with the Inazuma eleven series: Ds games: - inazuma eleven 1 - inazuma eleven 2 fire storm/blizzard - inazuma eleven 3 the ogre Wii games: Inazuma eleven strikers - inazuma eleven strikers Xtrem 2012 - inazuma eleven go strikers 2013 3ds games: - Inazuma eleven go light/shadow - inazuma eleven go Chrono stone - inazuma eleven go galaxy supernova/bigbang
I agree with the problem of the incredible amount of dlc that makes a third game difficult. Though, there are things they can try to make a third game better, farther knock back and bigger stages so you can not only have the dbz feel and also dont run out of room easilly. Since it would probably be only on ps5s generation it should have red faction guerilla like destruction, instead of nicking the corner of a building and causing it to collapse the same way every time it would be physics based. The ground could feature a carving like mechanic for when you slam someone into it and it could crater so the battlefield will wear the scars of your battles.
I saw a leak that shows Bandai Companies major titles planned for 2023, and Xenoverse 3 is on there for the fourth quarter of the year. AND APPARENTLY, we’re getting something called “Dragon Ball FighterZ: Super” in the second quarter?! Also Code Vein 2 and Armored Core and I am so freaking excited for those!!
I think what would be an interesting concept for a story mode is straying away from the canon timeline and almost doing something like canonizing the movies. You'd have to tweak things a bit to make Dead Zone fit into the Raditz arc but it would be something they haven't done before instead of rehashing the same story over and over again
Xenoverse 2 is a great 3d combat game! As of these days, the game is still getting updates like new Android characters from the Dragonball Super Hero movie! 😄
23:50 part of it could be time of day. But mostly a lot of people quit pvp because the online matches have REALLY BAD de-sync issues. And the devs haven't done anything about it in six years because they'd have to redo everything. I've had matches where I've been hit by melee moves on the other side of the map. Basically people only do friend matches or couch verses.
I was actually thinking to myself a few days ago if you would cover the Xenoverse games and you did 😂 I’ve slowly been watching your vids, I started with the budokai ones, can’t wait for more, keep up the good work Niosai!!!
Hey man, could you play all Borderlands games? I would love to hear your thoughts about them. There are quite alot of them. Borderlands has been one of my favorite, if not my favorite of all video game franchises ever since I've played it for the first time. I love it, despite its many flaws.
A little bit of a half arsed review on the xenoverse series Niosai, little disappointed as your other videos on the "I played every.." are really really deep depth. No mention of the limit verse No mention of every race as a specific awoken skill No mention of the different types of awoken and what they do No over view of the differences of the X1 and the X2 story's...... Still enjoyed the video so I'll leave a like but I'm gutted that my favourite dragon ball game got this treatment
10:22 Back when I was maybe 11 I got into Dragon Ball WITH Xenoverse 1, along with BoG, RoF and then Super after DBXV. Now, I'm watching Super Hero with my brother and a couple friends on the 17th!
One thing I'd want is for Xenoverse 3 to have you help the villains it happened like in a couple missions, but overall it's just stopping the bad guys who got buffed, and I mean there's nothing from the Super Manga, but also that could easily be added to 2 with DLC
When you were recording for the wishes on the Dragon Balls in Xenoverse 2, I’m not sure if it was available at the time you were making the video, but they added a wish to become a Super Saiyan God.
Xenoverse 2 is what Xenoverse should of been. Xenoverse 3 needs to cone out. I feel like they could do better somehow. I liked xenoverse 2 alot. Go back to it sometimes. But I don't think I can play a game for 6 years and not get bored or tired of talking about it. Granted the dlc is good but it's time for 120fps brand new story and hub world. Part of what made xenoverse 2 good is that it went from 30fps to 60fps and had better combat capabilities so it feels more like a fighting game, although it isn't really
I highly recommend skipping Xenoverse 1 and going straight to Xenoverse 2,as the first game has a lot of issues. Xenoverse 1's story can be played in Xenoverse 2 via the legends patrol dlc. If you want more information on why Xenoverse 1 sucks,then watch a review on it by DwTerminator .
@@RileyJ3866 Yes,but,there are a couple of downsides, first off,I believe you have to beat the main story for xv2 to gain access to the entire xv1 campaign ,unless you're playing the switch version,then you can play it before completing the xv2 story,next issue I have is that are the huge difficulty spikes,mainly towards the end and one in the namek saga,but even with that being said it was nice being able to experience xv1's story with xv2's gameplay.
I like xenoverse 2 but there are some things that bother me. One thing is that you don't feel powerful due to the lack of large scale environmental damage. Another thing is that it keeps getting updated. I would rather them stop updating so they can work on xenoverse 3 and so modders can actually make stuff without worrying about it breaking due to updates
Most mentors in XV1 actually show up completely randomly, regardless of which allies you choose in parallel quests. You don't have to use their moves to progress with them, but I think using their moves and picking them as allies would make you progress slightly faster. It was a pretty annoying and unintuitive system, you're far from the first person to be unsure of how exactly it works.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 1 came out on February 2015, and one year later, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 came out on October 25, 2016. So Xenoverse 2 is way better than Xenoverse 1, because of more content, more characters, more parallel quests, hero colosseum, and etc.
I'd like to see Xenoverse 3 or a spiritual successor that is open world like Kakarot but following a character you create possibly even with an original story rather than just rehashing the same old tired one for the millionth time.
Also I haven’t beaten the first game yet but I love how it help me sort of understand the anime😅 wow you’re like me then🤣 I picked Saiyan twice too😜 and both of my OCs are purple because it’s my favourite colour and I gave them fruit names I admit if the items were automatically replenished, it would help a lot😅
I LOVE THESE GAMES, holy shit i played xv1 in my xbox 360 everyday, and hearing the Toki toki city music made me cry tears of joy, thank you so much1:)
@@Niosai And I think part of the reason why is you not having experienced much of the PvP. Because honestly, that's where the game kinda falls apart. Yet it's what a lot of people do for some reason.
Xenoverse 3 can do the entirety of dragon ball Like Og Dragon ball,Dragon ball z,Dragon ball gt, Dragon ball super and maybe a little bit of the moro arc It can improve the battle system even more via beam struggles and melee clashes This is clearly me fanboying The chances of them actually doing this is slim if not zero As for how they would do gt is basicly saying that it is a different timeline where beerus never woke Up And you can choose which to do first gt or super Anyway thats what i want for xenoverse 3
I can say I tend to make more female characters, primarily just because I tend not to like larger designs. For the general public, and Majin specifically, I'd go with the simplest explanation that the male Majin doesn't look like a fighter for playing a fighting game.
Xenoverse 3 will probably be made when dragon balls story fully ends, xenoverse 2 added mui Goku which was end of super and they added dlc with his story while also DBXV2 was supposed to cover super while dbxv1 only covers Z now Diama will be out and when dbs ends that’s when they’ll be able to make 3 or they would have to make a unique story that doesn’t cover dbz again
If you were playing on the PC version most players play the game modded, this means most people play it offline with there own custom content. legitmintly every copy of Xenoverse is personalized
14:04 You take that back. It is not like Budokai Tenkaichi. Xenoverse is in no way at all like Budokai Tenkaichi. The only comparison is that is carries the dragon ball z License
6:17 you can change your custom clothes colour but not clothes that appeared in the anime because gokus gi Never changed colour so it would be weird if it could
Actually it got leaked that they've been working on XV3 for awhile now and its slated to come out in 2024 so we will def get a trailer for it early next year..
I know you said you glossed over xenoverse 1 in the vid but i'm really surprised you didn't mention super amor. The majority of players hated it, having the enemies be able to tank supers/ultimates with no flinching then using an evasive to escape then beating you up at the end of the super/ultimate. Or better yet they would tank the super/ultimate then retaliate by doing their's and the player would take big damge. I hated the beerus and whis mission near the end of xenoverse because of this. Overall really enjoyed the vid.
I know these games have a lot of flaws and overall are weaker than the older games like Tenkaichi and Raging Blast, but they're so special to me. My first actual introduction to DBZ were these games (specifically XV1) and it was WILD. I remember thinking Goten was Gohan's son and Gotenks was Goten's son or something like that 😂 I was flabbergasted when Goku transformes into SSG, and I absolutely loved it. I watched Battle of Gods sometime after that and instantly recognized that absolutely amazing design
I love the xenoverse games and if they did do a 3rd game obviously they would probably do the DBZ stuff but they could even do DB and DBS stuff for the story and maybe add in what if stories and add in stuff from every movie and also there has been DLC stories for Fu so in Xenoverse 3 they could go further into his story so there are ideas...I can still see them doing 3 but maybe awhile till that happens
You don't need to descent/move down while preforming a combo in DBX, just need to zanzoken (after-image) technique (space) and you can continiue with the combo
The PC & Xbox player base for this game is significantly smaller than the PlayStation player base. PCs online matchmaking was ruined pretty early on by hacking/ mods and consequently most people play the pc version for single player mods. Lobbies for most things are semi active at all times for XV2 on PlayStation. I can’t speak on the switch user base but the switch edition comes with a lot of the characters already unlocked from the start

I heard that if you played Xenoverse 1 and continued to Xenoverse 2 in the bundle, at one point of Xenoverse 2 after you finished Xenoverse 1, your character from Xenoverse 1 comes back as a time breaker and you Xenoverse 2 fights your Xenoverse 1 character. That's all I remember from what I heard. Sadly, it's only available if you play the bundle that lets you play Xenoverse 1 and Xenoverse 2 right after you finish Xenoverse 1
If you have played xenoberse 1 and have a saved file on your account , you’ll fight your first cac in the game ,! It’s pretty cool, just wish I made my xrnoverse 1 cac better 😂
Unironically 300 hrs in. The build choices in xenoverse 2 can make for some fun combos, especially with custom partners.
You didn't mention the Limit Burst in Xenoverse 2, you can do it by holding down the right stick and it knocks the enemy off you and gives you a special effect like attack up, auto health recovery, super armor or auto just guard
Honestly I went years playing this game not knowing this vital feature, it isn’t too important till raids and some of the challenging PQs
Ah yes the get out of jail from a stamina break
@@jesuspernia8031 assuming you have only 5 bars to come back from
I keep forgetting that's a thing
@@Return2TheLiving It wasnt always in the game, It came out iirc around the same time as SSB for CaC
I love the Xenoverse series! Loved how they slightly changed the story so it's not a re-telling of the anime!
It’s crazy how this video pops up in my recommended when I literally downloaded Xenoverse 2 TODAY on my PS4 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Again another outstanding video from you know who 😌😌😌
Lol 😂 crazy 😝
BRO.... its not a spiritual successor to Budokai Tenkaichi at ALL. Its a straight up sequel/spinoff of the Budokai games. Made and produced by the developers of the Budokai Games, same/similar control schemes. All off the mechanics of XV are basically evolved from the mainline budokai series.
On the cutscene with the vanishing models, I think that was actually a recent bug considering I didn’t use to have that problem
Awesome stuff, it seems like you got almost every major Dragon Ball gaming franchise. All you got left now is the Butoden series (Super Butoden 1, 2, 3, Buyu Retsuden, Shin Butoden, Ultimate Battle 22, Final Bout, Ultimate Butoden, Extreme Butoden, FighterZ) and the Heroes ports (Ultimate Mission 1, 2, X, World Mission). The problem is that most of those games were Japanese exclusive, save for ta couple of titles which actually did get released here (Ultimate Battle 22, Final Bout, Extreme Butoden, FighterZ and SDBH World Mission). I guess there's also the Legacy of Goku and Supersonic Warriors series, I know people love that.
I think it'd be awesome if you tried every Lego Star Wars game, the gameboy and ds versions too cause they're wildly different, would make for a banger series tbh. Great content as always!
God I played Lego Star Wars 2 on the DS and that game was broken lmao. My save file became locked because I would load into the cantina as a spaceship.
Man seeing Xenoverse 2’s dlc makes me always think, imagine if DLC was a thing back when Budokai Tenkaichi 3 came out and if it was still actively being updated til this day, would be the best DB game ever even tho it already kinda is
What are you smoking? If DLC was a thing in times o BT3 we would get about 50 characters in base game and all the rest would be dlc. Want movie villains? DLC. Want GT stuff? DLC. Want OG DB stuff? DLC. Want giant transformations? DLC. Want what if scenarios? DLC
BT 3 is such an extensive game purely because there were NO DLC's for it
You're gonna get this experience with Sparkling Zero now, for better or for worse.
True @@olserknam
I too am replaying both Xenoverse 1 and 2 this year. I'm just grinding for levels in 1. I'm at the part where you have to fight Beerus and Whis at the same time. But I have beaten 2 in the past.
"Every"... All 2 of them lmaoooo
I definitely covered 3 games here!
Honestly, one of my main problems with Xenoverse is that CAC is honestly very barebones in terms of actual options. I wish the CAC was on the level of something like Soul Calibur or better yet, the WWE games. Well that, and yeah the story. I will give credit in that the 3rd act in both games is where things get really crazy and we actually start getting original content. There's also all the absolutely crazy DLC story stuff which is what the main game should've been
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 1 was the game to get me into anime entirely lmao. Luckily I primarily watched a TH-cam series of it done by Pungeance, so he knew when something was wrong.
I actually been loving Xenoverse 2, and my gf has been getting into it too we fight often in it~ and get mad at eachother lmao
I did the same this past month, I played through Xenoverse 1's story, all its PQs and DLCs, and now I'm playing Xenoverse 2, with some DLCs already bought and a lvl 93 main cac
Man, I really wish the Dragon ball online servers were active. I was so happy when the revival was completed, I waited years to finally play the game. I envy the team who runs the servers to this day
Suggestions:
- Megaman starforce
- Inazuma eleven
- final fantasy
...I've been suggesting these games from your early first videos, you've been liking them too so i hope you considered them at least.
I've added them all to the list! I appreciate the suggestions :)
For context: I try to tackle things I'm most familiar with first, or things that I think I can realistically do in a reasonable amount of time. Stuff like Final Fantasy will eventually be done on my channel, I'm just not sure how to approach such a massive series yet. I definitely want to do Inazuma Eleven at some point, and definitely all of the different Mega Man series!
@@Niosai i do understand. Having the motivation to play a large number of games can be challenging when facing new series specially the longest ones, but please I'm waiting for them videos haha. However here is some help with the Inazuma eleven series:
Ds games:
- inazuma eleven 1
- inazuma eleven 2 fire storm/blizzard
- inazuma eleven 3 the ogre
Wii games:
Inazuma eleven strikers
- inazuma eleven strikers Xtrem 2012
- inazuma eleven go strikers 2013
3ds games:
- Inazuma eleven go light/shadow
- inazuma eleven go Chrono stone
- inazuma eleven go galaxy supernova/bigbang
Final Fantasy is gonna take him an entire year
These games, and the Naruto ultimate ninja storm series are the best anime games, fighting game or otherwise.
They have the most content but dragonball fighterz is gameplay wise way better fighting game
@@jasonblack2477 agreed
Raging blast shits on this
@@Grim_reapercygood for you 😊
I agree with the problem of the incredible amount of dlc that makes a third game difficult. Though, there are things they can try to make a third game better, farther knock back and bigger stages so you can not only have the dbz feel and also dont run out of room easilly. Since it would probably be only on ps5s generation it should have red faction guerilla like destruction, instead of nicking the corner of a building and causing it to collapse the same way every time it would be physics based. The ground could feature a carving like mechanic for when you slam someone into it and it could crater so the battlefield will wear the scars of your battles.
I just thought about playing it finally after all these years and he drops a vid 🤣
I saw a leak that shows Bandai Companies major titles planned for 2023, and Xenoverse 3 is on there for the fourth quarter of the year. AND APPARENTLY, we’re getting something called “Dragon Ball FighterZ: Super” in the second quarter?!
Also Code Vein 2 and Armored Core and I am so freaking excited for those!!
Unfortunately If I'm right that leak is fake. A lot of people said so.
aged like milk
I think what would be an interesting concept for a story mode is straying away from the canon timeline and almost doing something like canonizing the movies. You'd have to tweak things a bit to make Dead Zone fit into the Raditz arc but it would be something they haven't done before instead of rehashing the same story over and over again
If they implemented more of Dragon Ball Heroes stuff into the future XV3,that'd be more than cool
Ofc they will. They added ssgss gogeta so why wouldnt they
I thought they only added him because the broly movie
@@arseneholmes6266 well gamma 1 and 2 are from the movie so....
@@notabigdealthough8616dragon ball heroes is different from dragon ball super hero you fool
Xenoverse 2 is a great 3d combat game! As of these days, the game is still getting updates like new Android characters from the Dragonball Super Hero movie! 😄
23:50 part of it could be time of day. But mostly a lot of people quit pvp because the online matches have REALLY BAD de-sync issues. And the devs haven't done anything about it in six years because they'd have to redo everything. I've had matches where I've been hit by melee moves on the other side of the map. Basically people only do friend matches or couch verses.
Niosai is one of the most underrated TH-camr
I was actually thinking to myself a few days ago if you would cover the Xenoverse games and you did 😂 I’ve slowly been watching your vids, I started with the budokai ones, can’t wait for more, keep up the good work Niosai!!!
This guy needs more subs
Hey man, could you play all Borderlands games? I would love to hear your thoughts about them. There are quite alot of them. Borderlands has been one of my favorite, if not my favorite of all video game franchises ever since I've played it for the first time. I love it, despite its many flaws.
A little bit of a half arsed review on the xenoverse series Niosai, little disappointed as your other videos on the "I played every.." are really really deep depth.
No mention of the limit verse
No mention of every race as a specific awoken skill
No mention of the different types of awoken and what they do
No over view of the differences of the X1 and the X2 story's......
Still enjoyed the video so I'll leave a like but I'm gutted that my favourite dragon ball game got this treatment
10:22 Back when I was maybe 11 I got into Dragon Ball WITH Xenoverse 1, along with BoG, RoF and then Super after DBXV. Now, I'm watching Super Hero with my brother and a couple friends on the 17th!
The reason you weren't getting online game is because you were doing 3v3s
One thing I'd want is for Xenoverse 3 to have you help the villains it happened like in a couple missions, but overall it's just stopping the bad guys who got buffed, and I mean there's nothing from the Super Manga, but also that could easily be added to 2 with DLC
I always thought it was so cool how they use the speaker on the PS4 controller to talk to you while you were in battle
Great video but maybe you should’ve also mentioned that you can obtain and farm specific clothes and/or abilities/attacks in each parallel quest
When you were recording for the wishes on the Dragon Balls in Xenoverse 2, I’m not sure if it was available at the time you were making the video, but they added a wish to become a Super Saiyan God.
Xenoverse 2 is what Xenoverse should of been. Xenoverse 3 needs to cone out. I feel like they could do better somehow. I liked xenoverse 2 alot. Go back to it sometimes. But I don't think I can play a game for 6 years and not get bored or tired of talking about it. Granted the dlc is good but it's time for 120fps brand new story and hub world. Part of what made xenoverse 2 good is that it went from 30fps to 60fps and had better combat capabilities so it feels more like a fighting game, although it isn't really
Wow I have wanted to try out these games but man these games look way cooler and now I really want to try them thanks Nicosai.
I highly recommend skipping Xenoverse 1 and going straight to Xenoverse 2,as the first game has a lot of issues. Xenoverse 1's story can be played in Xenoverse 2 via the legends patrol dlc.
If you want more information on why Xenoverse 1 sucks,then watch a review on it by DwTerminator .
@@OmegaBlacky that is so damn cool. So you can play X1’s story, but with the graphics/characters/controls of X2?
@@RileyJ3866 Yes,but,there are a couple of downsides, first off,I believe you have to beat the main story for xv2 to gain access to the entire xv1 campaign ,unless you're playing the switch version,then you can play it before completing the xv2 story,next issue I have is that are the huge difficulty spikes,mainly towards the end and one in the namek saga,but even with that being said it was nice being able to experience xv1's story with xv2's gameplay.
I like xenoverse 2 but there are some things that bother me. One thing is that you don't feel powerful due to the lack of large scale environmental damage. Another thing is that it keeps getting updated. I would rather them stop updating so they can work on xenoverse 3 and so modders can actually make stuff without worrying about it breaking due to updates
xenoverse 3 is definitely in the works, no way it isnt
😂😂😂😂😂 it's not
The Xenoverse games are so fun🤩
I don’t mind watching you play breakers😊
Can’t wait to fight Cell for the 10th year in a row!. If Dragon Ball Breakers is cross play let’s play it lol
So glad you talked about the music, pretty underrated
Most mentors in XV1 actually show up completely randomly, regardless of which allies you choose in parallel quests. You don't have to use their moves to progress with them, but I think using their moves and picking them as allies would make you progress slightly faster. It was a pretty annoying and unintuitive system, you're far from the first person to be unsure of how exactly it works.
29:00 - #1 Outside of Kokkara Village and #2 south-west of Popped Village, both in Yahoi West region, both in the same zone.
25:44 There's the Infinite History mode from Extra DLC pack 2 and Crystal raid battles that you didn't talk about
Wow xenoverse 1 is 7 years old now, i feel old
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 1 came out on February 2015, and one year later, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 came out on October 25, 2016. So Xenoverse 2 is way better than Xenoverse 1, because of more content, more characters, more parallel quests, hero colosseum, and etc.
I really hope to see an xenosaga series video cause I was quite fond of it only having played the second and not even finishing it.
I'm a big Xenosaga fan, so that's something I 100% want to tackle sometime :)
I'd like to see Xenoverse 3 or a spiritual successor that is open world like Kakarot but following a character you create possibly even with an original story rather than just rehashing the same old tired one for the millionth time.
Also I haven’t beaten the first game yet but I love how it help me sort of understand the anime😅 wow you’re like me then🤣 I picked Saiyan twice too😜 and both of my OCs are purple because it’s my favourite colour and I gave them fruit names
I admit if the items were automatically replenished, it would help a lot😅
Yeah XV1's story is still crazy hard to this day. XV2's story is a breeze compared to that, with a few tough missions here and there.
@@okuigokublack yeah I got stuck on the mission with cell jrs, Gohan and that main Cell alien guy😅
i remember in xenoverse 1 if you had blue hurricane it was the most broken move ever
I LOVE THESE GAMES, holy shit i played xv1 in my xbox 360 everyday, and hearing the Toki toki city music made me cry tears of joy, thank you so much1:)
Must’ve been hard to play every single one, there’s like 2 of ‘em!
Dragon ball just keeps releasing the same game over and over again. The xenoverse series felt so fresh. Only problem was THE GRIND
People rag on this game for fun, but it's an objectively good one in my opinion.
As someone who's played more DBZ games than most, I enjoy it a lot!
@@Niosai And I think part of the reason why is you not having experienced much of the PvP. Because honestly, that's where the game kinda falls apart. Yet it's what a lot of people do for some reason.
I am very much waiting for "I played EVERY The King of Fighters game(mainline series)"
Xenoverse 3 can do the entirety of dragon ball
Like
Og Dragon ball,Dragon ball z,Dragon ball gt,
Dragon ball super and maybe a little bit of the moro arc
It can improve the battle system even more via beam struggles and melee clashes
This is clearly me fanboying
The chances of them actually doing this is slim if not zero
As for how they would do gt is basicly saying that it is a different timeline where beerus never woke
Up
And you can choose which to do first gt or super
Anyway thats what i want for xenoverse 3
I would be happy with just the king piccolo and 23rd world tournament arcs from OG
@@KingOfFools784 fair enough
Also loading screen mini gamez
I got it, Xenoverse 3 What If?
That is what they should do.
Sounds like xv2 dlc lol
DBZ1 was my first DBZ Game and I love Beating the Crap out of Everyone as my OC
xenoverse def has some bops tho🔥🔥🙏🏾
I'm glad I found this channel
I can say I tend to make more female characters, primarily just because I tend not to like larger designs.
For the general public, and Majin specifically, I'd go with the simplest explanation that the male Majin doesn't look like a fighter for playing a fighting game.
"I played EVERY Xenoverse game in 2022"
Xenoverse games in 2022: Xenoverse 1 and 2
Xenoverse 3 will probably be made when dragon balls story fully ends, xenoverse 2 added mui Goku which was end of super and they added dlc with his story while also DBXV2 was supposed to cover super while dbxv1 only covers Z now Diama will be out and when dbs ends that’s when they’ll be able to make 3 or they would have to make a unique story that doesn’t cover dbz again
If you were playing on the PC version most players play the game modded, this means most people play it offline with there own custom content.
legitmintly every copy of Xenoverse is personalized
Can you play all mount and blade games
I played the Korean original and the fan translation of DBO and it's fantastic. Join the discord and play with people it's actually fantastic.
I recently played xenoverse 1 it was amazing
14:04 You take that back. It is not like Budokai Tenkaichi. Xenoverse is in no way at all like Budokai Tenkaichi. The only comparison is that is carries the dragon ball z License
Great video! Para-lel and ment-er will now live in my mind permanently lol
6:17 you can change your custom clothes colour but not clothes that appeared in the anime because gokus gi Never changed colour so it would be weird if it could
Actually it got leaked that they've been working on XV3 for awhile now and its slated to come out in 2024 so we will def get a trailer for it early next year..
I know you said you glossed over xenoverse 1 in the vid but i'm really surprised you didn't mention super amor. The majority of players hated it, having the enemies be able to tank supers/ultimates with no flinching then using an evasive to escape then beating you up at the end of the super/ultimate. Or better yet they would tank the super/ultimate then retaliate by doing their's and the player would take big damge. I hated the beerus and whis mission near the end of xenoverse because of this. Overall really enjoyed the vid.
I know these games have a lot of flaws and overall are weaker than the older games like Tenkaichi and Raging Blast, but they're so special to me. My first actual introduction to DBZ were these games (specifically XV1) and it was WILD. I remember thinking Goten was Gohan's son and Gotenks was Goten's son or something like that 😂 I was flabbergasted when Goku transformes into SSG, and I absolutely loved it. I watched Battle of Gods sometime after that and instantly recognized that absolutely amazing design
Lots of potential was squandered with these games
I totally forgot the clothes have stats, I guess because I usually just play as the actual DB characters
I am VERY sure, that Dragon Ball Fusions is the first prototype of Xenoverse.
fusions released in 2016
xenoverse 1 released in 2015
Don’t like how npc characters still don’t transform mid game
The multiplayer thing might just be your settings because everyone I fight goes with the max time possible.
They need to make a raging blast 3, I love those series
Xenoverse 3
(Dragon ball, Z, GT, Super, post tournament of power content)
Majin buus quest allow you to get the secret ending and if you are a majin unlock purification
Somebody needs to make fanart of Niosai & Majin Buu holding one of his children
😱
I thought you were going to talk about battle of z. That's the building block for XenoVerse
Not fully xenoverse is mostly based on dragon ball online
Not a fan of the Xenoverse gameplay but this was a good vid
Battle of Z is the predecessor for xenoverse imo. Had allot of the elements gameplay wise that would become staples of the xenoverse series
If you make majin buu’s kids yellow they give really good clothes
I love the xenoverse games and if they did do a 3rd game obviously they would probably do the DBZ stuff but they could even do DB and DBS stuff for the story and maybe add in what if stories and add in stuff from every movie and also there has been DLC stories for Fu so in Xenoverse 3 they could go further into his story so there are ideas...I can still see them doing 3 but maybe awhile till that happens
You don't need to descent/move down while preforming a combo in DBX, just need to zanzoken (after-image) technique (space) and you can continiue with the combo
The PC & Xbox player base for this game is significantly smaller than the PlayStation player base. PCs online matchmaking was ruined pretty early on by hacking/ mods and consequently most people play the pc version for single player mods. Lobbies for most things are semi active at all times for XV2 on PlayStation.
I can’t speak on the switch user base but the switch edition comes with a lot of the characters already unlocked from the start
