Lazy design..

[LilSoggy]

I feel like the creators of this game are kinda lazy. it would be so easy to add settings for transformed and non transformed hair, like dbz is all about screaming energy blasts and hair, and the hair is gone. sure if changes color. but there is no physics like normal characters. like if modders can do it. why cant it be implemented into the game. Cause im pretty sure the majority of people using mods for better experience is just better hair... and animated tails... its just.. lazy
I hate that there are only 1-2 OG hair styles and the rest of characters from the show.. this is a CaC its supposed to be its own guy not a cosplaying dweeb who half asses everything come on bandai... give us more hairstyles and make them animated with physics and proper transformation animations.

(oh and super saiyan god please... if we got blue and now ascended blue we should have the form that gateways into it..)
But again I feel like they wont implement it cause it causes a physical change to the body (slimmer muscle tone) but its 2019 games can do amazing things! I feel like this is easy... CAUSE IT IS again modders did it..

yeah, is beyond me why there are not physical changes, budokai 3 have dynamic transformations, a game from 2004 have better mechanics than this garbage, that is why this game is not a game, is an "expansion" of the first game, same graphics, same assets, same PQ, same character creator, they just tweak the combat a lil and thats about it, they add none of the stuff the community have been asking since XV1, they just dont give a crap.

As lazy as you can get, and dont get me wrong, I love this game and thats why it piss me off with no end, this game could be so much more, but Dimps its to fking lazy to do it.

[LilSoggy]

but many games will take popular mods and integrate them into the game and give credit to the og creator or pay him or something, like its all there. its all ready for implementation...

Sometimes I can't tell if they're lazy, or clueless, or just generally don't think beyond "just mirror what's in the show exactly and fans will eat it up." Probably a mix. Examples:

They didn't originally have tails for Saiyans. When they did add them, they were static clip-ons instead of using the animated ones they already had.

Armor for Saiyan characters who had tails keep the tails as part of the armor (Nappa, Raditz, Turles, ect) which makes it look weird when, say, a Freeza Clan member wears it and have a tail clipping through their tail.

Crystal Raids require a lousy farm just to get in, you don't get to decide who gets to be the boss so slotting boss only moves is a bad idea. Plus, from what I hear, being the boss = just get beat up by 5 people really fast.

Rather than give us a salon or something to alter our character's look conveniently, we have to hunt down 7 obnoxious drops. We previously had to do the same to level up without grinding, but then they added an NPC that lets us pay Zeni and TP medals to skip that, but not a Capsule Corp barber or something. There's also no feature for our mentor or something to respec our bonus attributes through "training" or whatever.

They slapped on a set-and-forget anti-cheat program that so far has only been good for preventing cosmetic mod usage because from what I heard, it sure hasn't done anything to stop cheating.

In many missions, the action is interrupted by brief cutscenes of characters coming, going, or transforming. Why they thought this was a good idea, and why they thought it was an even better idea to spam it in some missions is beyond me.

They also thought it was a great idea for enemies to become invincible occasionally and still be allowed to beat on you just so dialogue can play, with no ability to skip it. Should have just made it a separate cutscene since they already love interrupting the action for those.

They decided it was a great idea to split regular Super Saiyan into 3 different transformations while giving every other race just one seemingly for no other reason than to let us mimic different poses from the show when transforming. Any mechanical reason to split them up kinda became moot when they decided to throw in SS Blue on top of that and have it be flat out better than the rest.*

Perhaps most baffling of all is Hero Colosseum. Why in the world they thought Xenoverse specifically needed its own self-contained gacha game is something I can only wonder at. If the goal was to get us to buy TP medals, maybe they should have remembered to include the ability to buy TP medals cause that's not in the PC version, but we still got HC. Not that I approve of any of that, but I mean if they're going to try and nickle and dime us, you'd think they'd at least include the part that actually gets them money.

And they didn't include a feature to either tone down or shut off Bulma's endless announcements (but the radio announcement featuring Kale and Caulifla apparently only plays once.)


* I should point out that the issue of the Saiyans having way too many transformations is a problem in the source material as well. If the game is guilty of anything here, it's adhering to the show too religiously in this regard. If there's any consistency in their random decision making, it's they clearly think as long as they toss in some fanservice, we'll buy it and that's all that matters.
