so I got ADDICTED to Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 in 2024 

I am too! I seriously feel blessed being able to jump in and find such a solid community :)

​@@WHIKKEDD Welcome to the Time Patrol. Have fun and don't worry about Zarbon he's house broken 😂

honestly i wish i could say i could tell the ins and out but this game really makes me feel like im playing BT3 and I love it

I’m not trying to be disrespectful but I really don’t see the similarity at all. There’s a few, like them both being 3D arena fighters. Even the camera angle isn’t the same like you said though. BT3 is pretty much always over the shoulder while XV2 is a lot more free form. I’m not trying to trash on Xenoverse 2 when I say this, I really enjoy the game and recently have even had an obsession with it, but the BT3 complexity and skill ceiling is so much higher than XV2. The combo strings in BT3 are multitudes more times complicated, the vanish system is much more skill based, instead of being able to vanish whenever you have stamina like in XV2 - in BT3 you only have specific tight windows to vanish and only at certain times in a combo. This makes it harder to evade supers and ultimates. At the same time this forces you to be more picky when you’re on the offensive in BT3 because your opponent can’t just run out of stamina, they can only mess up the timing of the vanish, which means you need to time your supers and ultimates very specifically. Additionally BT3 unlike Xenoverse has so many more defensive abilities other than just guard and vanish. Here are a few to name: Emergency blaster waves, Z-counters, sonic sways, counter stances, offensive vanishes, directional blocking, the advanced movement mechanics can even be used defensively if you have enough experience with the game. The best way to illustrate the difference is by just opening up the combo list in XV2 vs BT3. There is so much more I could say but I won’t because this comment would get stupidly long. XV2 is a fun beat em’ up arena fighter that is simple and a good time. BT3 is a competitive arena fighter with complex mechanics that is a good time. Saying they’re similar is like saying that Super Smash Bros and Mortal Combat are similar because they are 2D fighters. Once again no hate to XV2 I genuinely enjoy it, I have been doing another run through of it the last 4 days or so myself lol, and they’re both GOOD games but very different.

@@conlanvanhook2452 Definitely. Combos were more fleshed out in BT but Tenkaichi is definitely the foundation of Xenoverse. What was clean over the shoulder for combat focus; Xenoverse took it a different route in hopes exploring would be a more major part. Sometimes we get those camera angles still with certain combo strings and in those moments I feel like Tenkaichi shines through. In some cases though Xenoverse ruined what was a good thing. Like the whole "dodge and weave" mechanic as long as you pressed said button at the right time was much better than spamming guard for the "perfect block". Clashing will always be missed Also Xenoverse would definitely be more competitive if connections were better and the modders weren't pvping

@@conlanvanhook2452 wow you really are passionate about it and i fkn love it. like I said i’m not a huge fighting game guy and can’t really tell the exact difference between the two other than my genuine enjoyment for them. when I said it makes me feel like i’m playing BT3, i meant more on an enjoyment and nostalgic level than actually gameplay. you never sounded disrespectful btw, love the comment and ur explanation of everything :)

It's a lot like tenkaichi tag team for psp

oh def not lol that shits getting preordered asap

@@WHIKKEDDhave u pre ordered it yet

not yet but payday is Monday 🤩

oh man that rocks! the fact that it got you involved with the overall franchise is fantastic and i’m glad it did!!

Db has the best filler in the entire anime. There’s nothing better than goku and picollo going to get their driving license 😂😂

Don't be this guy, watch OG DB

it’s dragged so many people in hahaha

do NOT be embarrassed at all! if anything that just shows how amazing this game is, and hey BT3 introduced me to the series and i love it death! this game is genuinely fantastic

Sparking isn’t a pure fighter either

Do you play on xbox? I play eso and dbx xv2 and could always use more people to play with lol

awesome man! thats what i’m here for, hoping people can relate to my dumbass thoughts hahahah

@@WHIKKEDD I certainly can though that's for sure 😂😂

man i’m so glad to hear about your experience. i wish i was there for the ride but glad i hopped on the bus before it was too late

i really hope we get a 3 after sparking zero or at least sometime in the future

glad to be a part of it! this game rules and their support of it shocked me so much lol

Im so glad you got into this game, this game is amazing and I really hope you enjoy it!!!

@@Kode_KK oh I am! def the most fun i’ve had in a minute with a long term game :)))

yeah man i’m having a fkn blast

man I appreciate that a shit ton. i really try to be as authentic as possible through these videos and I'm glad you could relate to my experience. W Viewer

@@WHIKKEDD AND trunks is my fav caractère lol

i’ve done nothing but be a potato for a little bit now trying to return to society is challenging

​@@WHIKKEDD good luck warrior 🫡

fair, still excited to see what parts of xenoverse if any have some sort of influence on the new game 😏

i can’t believe someone finally noticed 😭

@@WHIKKEDD I think everbody did that

man IM SO SORRY about your playstation save, that is fkn so tragic but thank you for the huge comment I LOVE when anyone writes something like this. I appreciate the DLC advise as well :D

honestly i still find it hard to believe this game came out longer than 4 years ago. i have more fun and find more to do in this game then most recent games within the last handful of years. hopefully we get a xenoverse 3 🫶🏻

it’s too easy to get addicted to, might happen a second time

@@WHIKKEDD facts lol

thanks brotha 💯 i’m having a blast and glad to have so many people from the community checking out the videos

thanks man I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a great comment! glad I found this game and started forming an awesome community because of it! can’t wait for the content around speaking zero!!

right? huge W

yeah the pqs are incredible. seeing my childhood want of cooler and freiza team up made me so fkn happy

excited for SZ as well!!

yeah I agree, I think the fact that the game is still running shows a lot haha

def the best anime game so far

wait they're makiing a PS5 update? like a next gen update? thats sick as hell

@@WHIKKEDD yeah apparently it’ll load faster but they haven’t said much about what else is changing

thank you!!!

man that would ruin anyones experience, sorrry that happened brotha :/

i kinda figured. i didn’t try it whatsoever but watching videos and other comments makes me glad i didn’t lmao

oh man you are cooking with this. yeah it’s pretty sad they haven’t done those yet 😭

@@WHIKKEDD bon apetit bro. Sad thing is that it happens with LOTS of content; like ssj4, ultra villanous mode, "100% power" (Frieza, or Earthlings like Master Roshi), Legendary ssj, some super attacks/ultimates ( Cell's Zetsumei Bullet, and some Classic Brolly attacks). Bandai has a PILE OF POTENTIAL MONEY, and its sleeping on it😭

awesome!!

following that advice has saved my mental 🫡

W

yeah :/ i did try to find some co op missions when i first was starting out and couldn’t. thats probably the only part where its age shows

yeah i def almost chucked my controller a few times, but beating the story was a blast, excited for the dlc

sounds like the mark of a bad game imo. i got hundreds of hours in XV2 until i realized the negatives kinda overshadowed the positives for me and i wasnt having fun anymore for a long ass time

@@dandyspacedandy eh for me the bad portions of the story were outweighed by how fun it was. again i’m not a huge competitive fighting guy tho, i just kinda fuck around for hours at a time 😭

you def should especially if you get the new DLC!!

@@WHIKKEDD i did 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾you’ve convinced me man

honestly i think we will. after sparking zero settles down alittle I can def see it, i just hope that after the passing of Toriyama they don’t go stagnant :/

I don’t think so. They JUST release dlc 17 with a clear intent for one or two more dlc’s.

seriously love this game, wish i got it sooner but glad i finally played it

@@WHIKKEDD wouldn’t mind playing a couple quest with you what’s your psn

@@Lolcryariver I'll have to doublecheck later tonight after the gym! Not sure how often I'll really be on since there's so much to cover and talk about but I will double back here and post it :)

you got a long road but it’s so worth it and you def should!

it’s hard to stop playing lmao

@@WHIKKEDD Agreed. I've nearly beaten the game. I may have to buy the DLC.

Fu >>> love my guy Fu

hell yeah, W design

yup that’s why it will forever be funny and giggles (i’ve never played online)

i’m here for a 3, super interested to see where they take the series after all the dlc is done

good thing i’m avoiding it 😎

@@WHIKKEDDBest way to play the game. Do NOT go over there….Thousand Yard Stare

bro dropped the “like my ex wife” 😭 top tier comment, glad you got to experience it

it keeps pulling us back in man god damn it

yeah my wording isn’t the best sometimes. i meant to say that there seems to be elements and i’m excited to see them if there is any. obviously it is WAY more inspired by BT3 which I am so beyond excited about since I love BT3. Thanks for the comment, appreciate it!!

honestly it holds up extremely well and plays better than most triple A games we are getting now 🤪

somehow this game has been calling people in recently

@@WHIKKEDD yeah

i caved and did…i’m addicted again

🥹 thanks king really just doing something I love as a hobby, if it happens it happens if not i’m fine with my little community anyway 😁😁

🥹 thanks king really just doing something I love as a hobby, if it happens it happens if not i’m fine with my little community anyway 😁😁

look up Budokai Tenkaichi 3, it’s kinda in a league of its own. def more like xenoverse than mortal kombat but still very different

oh i’m def going to keep that in mind!!

oh i def will, im trying to play a lot atm but when i have downtime i will! thanks for the feedback :)))

W timing, you were just ahead of me 😭 wish i started playing sooner

oh i will def keep this in mind because after playing KH for the last few weeks im probably so rusty

i’ve heard, i’m excited to try it

man a XV3 would be my game of the year hands down

yeah this game is kick ass, easily one of my favorites

hey thanks man I appreciate it!!!

@@WHIKKEDD yeah bro just keep making content for us

@@shanedkursaki550 oh i always will dw i have way too much fun being a dumbass with a microphone 😭

yeah i def can see that lol ill be going back soon i think

W

good thing i sit at home alone and refuse to play o o lmao, i’ve been hearing it’s not a blast 😭

And every time the games adds even More things like bro every Time it's new experience

man this and the minecraft roti is gonna go hard as hell next year

W

@@WHIKKEDD Yeah i went from level 4 to 87 in like 2 weeks

thank you and welcome!!

i’ve been thinking about it, and I def am going to

respect for the comment. this is why I love games because it really is to each their own 🤙

as of now no, but i def plan on getting it in the future! i only got it on playstation because of a sale but i love both consoles :)

easy, It’s like How I love Naruto but I don’t play the games, because it’s just not my cup of tea. When I was younger I loved the DB games like BT3 but i didnt play any game after that until Fighterz and this one. love for a series doesn’t equal you touch every installment of it. I love Halo but I haven’t played the tactic like installments also thanks for saying no hate lmao. i don’t take anything online at face value since it’s hard to read tone. i’m also a dumbass so my reasonings for things could be confusing to most 💀

@@WHIKKEDD that make sense! Coulda opened with that instead of "I really like DB games." lol I get it now, thanks! To be clear I didn't mean to sound condescending in that "why no play all?" just XV is the biggest in a long time. That's the part that confused me along with your know your opening statement.

all good. i don’t script my videos whatsoever, which is why I always try to reply to comments like yours :) never read it in a negative way don’t worry!!

let me hold my innocence

yeah they are def missing some stuff, not having ss4 for customs character also bothers me

i reaaaaaaly am having such a blast with it

eh we’ll see! i think all db games take small things from eachother, just because it’s a different play style doesn’t mean they don’t inspire eachother :)

@@WHIKKEDD I’ve played sparking zero lol, I know what I’m talking about. These two games have very little in common despite the things that obviously can’t change like the kamehama being the same in pretty much every game. Anyway besides that, I can literally point of animations that are the same from the 90s lol and being used in xenoverse. It’s hard to take something from another game if you came out decades before them. Xenoverse has been influenced, it is not an influence. I highly recommend a revisit of BT2 and BT3 and you’ll see what I mean. The core structure of sparking zero is entirely BT.

@@HeartbrokenHeartshooter i grew up playing EVERY dragon ball game so dw I know what I'm talking about too, lol. You cant really say 100% WHAT SZ has different from any other DB game since it isnt out yet. They literally all have borrowed small things here and there, thats how game dev for major franchises works. never said SZ wasnt entirly BT, since it is literally BT4 & congrats on playing SZ, I have too, doesnt make either of us experts since we ARENT devs lmao.

@@WHIKKEDD you’ve admitted that you don’t know fighting games well. I was invited to play it specifically because I do. That’s the difference here. It’s your job to entertain. I get paid to analyze.

@@HeartbrokenHeartshooter you are taking a random dude on the internet's opinion SO seriously. pixels on a screen my man. i said in the video im excited to see if and what influence could have been had. we can't know until its out. end of story

ahhh i would but my psn is my personal one. eventually i’ll have one to do stuff with the community :)

@@WHIKKEDD alright

imma give it a try after sparking zero fs

@@WHIKKEDD looking forward to the video man. Iv played every dragonball game ever released and after playing xenoverse and not experiencing the original story in video games in a very long time it felt refreshing and Amazing as it dives into parts of the Manga and anime that no video game ever has including being able to do the piccolo and goku driving race from the anime that is so beloved...........I recommend if u like it that after u complete it u pick up the original dragonball dlc that came with it as it completely transforms the games by adding a ground mechanic that drastically changes the experience. I'd also recommend not missing the history of trunks dlc as most of it is honestly and definitively for everyone who has played it better than the best moments of the main game. It's by far the best dlc released thus far. Excited to know what u think

my pain and grind never ends

W that’s awesome

yeah it’s illegally fun i swear i think about it everyday

i’m gonna be doing livestream soon, i’ll add a bunch of people then :))))

i’ve already started down the path brother, can’t stop now 🫡

@@WHIKKEDD will have fun geting a consoul every year😒

This game has only been out for 7-8 years. Don’t be so dramatic. :/

Also Kh3 is still fairly recent. :/

@@DarkEclipse23 i am not being dramatic i waited my childhood and to find out that the final boss of the franchis is easy boss that i have waited sense te psp era to fight as sora and it was a complete let down so if i am a little mad fight me

hope you’ve played the dlc, it’s a blast!

ah the classic: break my wallet but mend my heart trade off is seemingly going to be worth it…can’t wait

@@WHIKKEDD you bet it's gonna be, i'll Just Say, the Evolution in cutscenes Is gonna be insane (Also they make more use of cgi cutscenes 👀)

😭😭😭 i’ll have to go back to it eventually

that’s my dream man, can’t wait to play games with a son/daughter some day, here’s to the two of you having a blast 🍻

thanks man I really appreciate the comment and yeah i’m having a fkn blast still. haven’t played in a few weeks just bc of life stuff but I def miss it and want to dive back in soon!

thank you thank you :D

oh you’ve unlocked a childhood memory. bt3 is actually the reason I got into DBZ so much, i still own my original Wii copy :) i want to find a way to go back and play it though

@@WHIKKEDD the online servers on discord have pre-configured versions of the emulator “dolphin” with the game preinstalled and a save file. If you join the server, you can play the game upscaled for pc and online.

sony sales lowkey ruining me 😭

@@WHIKKEDD Made a Frieza race character the other day and now I’m even more addicted
