Why people play this game?

[Saya]

I don't get it. Was playing Xenoverse on PC, and was playing Xenoverse 2 on my buddie's PS4. What the ♥♥♥♥ is this game? it pretends to be an mmo, but certainly it isn't. All of it is just grind and then mashing button, there's no real skill involved in this so called "fighting system"

[Bottom of the Well]

Because its fun, I find it fun because its my own character in a universe ive loved since a child. I also just like the fighting with friends its fun stuff. The story sucks and pqs are ok its the pvp that is fun and it does take some skill. But hey to each their own.

As Bellesaurus said "a universe ive loved since a child".

You played on PC and PS4, but how long did you played.
I know a lot of people who start to play Street fighter, KOF, GuiltyGear, or Mortal Kombat only by smashing buttons.
You will only do basic and easy breakable combos. you can win against AI like this, but you will never win against any good player.

You will not be able to do something like this for example

What Belle said.

Complexity does not always equal fun, and I'd rather not play a Controller Masturbator™ like Guilty Gear.

[Firewalk]

Because I love Dragon Ball, but always cursed the fact that there were no PC games of it. I didn't own a console newer than the N64, so PC is all I got. I remember being envious at my highschool friend's copy of Budokai Tenkaichi 2. Even if I utterly sucked at it back then.

Sure, there were some free fan-made games like Lemmingball Z and the elusive Earths Special Forces mod made for PC. But those pale in comparison to this to be honest.

Xenoverse is the ONLY game I drop $60 for. It's not perfect but its still very good. I don't mind the RPG elements too much. They aren't deep, but thats fine with me.

Bear in mind, I'm playing this for casual fun and having a blast meeting and fighting Dragon Ball characters, not to compete in PVP.

Is this game a bit simple? Perhaps. But again, to each their own. I can fully understand if someone deems this game primitive compared to pure fighting games.

well without skill u would be able to win

it's not any argument lol, many combos are doable to a newbie, while in MK or SF only punch kick combos are basically unlimited
game can be fun, yes, but fighting lacks depth

[Demon Lord]

I realize the game isn't perfect by any measure and people have rightful complaints about it, but when it comes to a game... you're usually playing it if it has something you're interested in, and that's pretty much your answer in the nut shell without concerning the actual content.

[abdera2020]

The game is still unpolished but it has the potential. Fun game mechanics and you would be surprised on what kind of combo string you can dish out on your enemies.

[Saya]

My only problem is that, you don't have many punch, kick combos, even raging blast was better

I stand corrected, sorry its been a while. 50 or 60, wouldn't matter too much.

Wrong. Have you seen the new Street Fighter? EVERYONE can perform ANY combo now, there are videos of Pros in SFV complaining or criticizing the game for this very thing. And Punk (a new Pro starting from SFV) admitted that the game is incredibly easy for newcomers. This game is not the only one, and that video the 2nd reply had is showing you a few "flashy" combos that take a little more effort than just button mashing.

If you want a technical game go play Mortal Kombat, or go play Guilty Gear if you want to commit suicide from how hard it is, I don't play THIS game, I have 0 hours in it, my brother plays it and I watch a lot of videos, it is fun and that's what matters. Fun > anything else no matter how you slice it. At the end of the day the serious players that want to play a truly competitive fighting game, play multiple fighting games and enjoy whichever they feel like either competitively or casually... This game is fine the way it is, I play For Honor, SFV, occasionally SFIV, Blazblue Chronophantasma and soon Central Fiction online and just started KOFIV one day when I make time for this game I hope it's still alive because it's always been amazing for TRUE dbz fans to watch at least, I only listed my fighting game background to say that sure this game isn't as technical but it's about the quality of the game for the franchise, you say raging blast was better but most people do not agree.

[KaiserSenpai420]

The real reason:

"Extremely well character creation."


If it didn't have character creation this series wouldn't be nearly as popular as what is currently is.
Everyone wanted to make their own Saiyan, Namkian, Frost Race etc.

Just like how Naruto to Boruto Striker game will take off, the graphics are below average compared to other games in this generation - but it has character creation. Everyone wants to make their own Uchiha, Hyuga etc

OC's are popular in every fandom, but in DBZ and Naruto - well you know. It goes far and beyond.

it does take some skill.

Why is this your Go-to excuse to defend this mediocre game "well uhh,yeah it takes skill"

[HoundOfSnore]

I put dozens of hours into Xenoverse 1 on XB1 before I was on Steam, so I can't give any sort of highly technical defense of Xenoverse.
This isn't a game you come to for "technical" fighting.
You play this game to fight monsters, aliens and demons in 3D space using meter-based specials taken from all the main heroes and antagonists Dragon Ball has to offer, with your own customizable avatar at the center of it all.
Also Female Majins. THEY are the reason people play this game, because they are adorable.
