Same guy who's been leaking fighting game news for the past year has leaked that Bardock, Brolly, Base Goku and Base Vegeta are going to be DLC for Dragon Ball Fighter Z.

Obviously Vegeta and Goku are a controversial decision. Personally, I'm happy if it's true. Saiyan/Namek saga Goku and Vegeta are my favorite versions of the characters, and there is a wealth of material that they can pull from to ensure they play completely differently from their SSJ versions. But I can understand how others who want completely different characters might be upset.

Just wanna get it out of my system that four player squad PUBG is fucking awesome. I went into that game thinking it would be an intense solo game, but grouping with friends is significantly more entertaining.

Might pick it up if tpww people are on it. I wasn't that interested in the solo mode to begin with.

Fignuts 12-16-2017 12:01 AM

Alright, I got it on a whim. Paid for it this time so you better not disappear and never play it this time, alvy.

Fignuts 12-16-2017 04:40 AM

Made it to 14th on my first go.

definitely has that early access jankiness. Kalyx would hate it lol. The tension is amazing though. Even just running to the next set of buildings is intense. Only got one kill, but it was great. Tricked a guy into coming into building after me. He tried to flank and come in from the side, but I had gone out the back and hit him with the shotty.

Think I'm gonna really like this, but I want to play with other people.

2 questions

1. Do the duo and squad modes match you up with randos or do you have to have friends?

2. I got a 4x scope and equipped it but I can't figure out how to actually use it or even aim down the scope.

1. You get randies...though I dont recommend it. I played a couple games with a random fill in in both duo and squad, and people dont like to talk (which is clearly key when you're sweeping buildings for loot)

2. tap LT (or RT...one of those). The game suffers from the same thing Hello Neighbor does, in that they really need to work on translating PC controls to console.

Apparently that family Kamehameha is a special tag super between Adult Gohan and Goku, similar to the Winter Soldier/Cap super in MvCI.

Wonder if there are any more in there.

Fignuts 12-19-2017 06:10 AM

Yeah, the love they have for DBZ is apparent. This is definitely a passion project.

For instance with Teen Gohan's lvl 3 one handed Kamehameha super, you can sacrifice 2 more bars to make him extend it and slowly walk forward, like he did in the climax of the Cell battle.

Little touches like that are really impressive.

Also can unlock Predator's gauntlets and mask, as well as camo and accessories from the other characters of the movie.

Mankind Divided and Telltale Batman.

I suggest everyone get their hands on Deus Ex. Great game.

Fignuts 12-27-2017 07:24 PM

Yeah, has its flaws, but it's still really good.

Fignuts 12-27-2017 07:43 PM

Can you purchase dlc on steam if you don't own the game it's for? Because I was gonna make a thread in wrestling for the Takayama dlc, since thats the only way for people outside of japan to contribute without jumping through a bunch of hoops.

Emperor Smeat 12-27-2017 08:11 PM

Based on Steam's forums, seems you have to own the game itself in order to buy DLC unless you gift it to someone else.

Know on the eShop it will ask you need to own the game in order to be playable but doesn't restrict buying it. Same for Xbox Marketplace.

Emperor Smeat 12-28-2017 07:48 PM

I can see myself a few months from attending "Gamers Anonymous" meetings.

"Hi, my name is Clockshot and I'm a gamer."

I'd figure they'd get around to this in my single digit years when Nintendo changed everything.

Red Dead Redemption 2 currently rumored to be arriving by June 8th according to recent leak by a Danish retailer.

Adding some credibility to the rumor is this being the same retailer who leaked GTA V's release date which later turned out to be correct.

Despite gta v being the most successful game of all timd i hope red dead 2 does not take direction from it...i want solo Rockstar games...

#BROKEN Hasney 12-29-2017 06:14 PM

There's going to be multiplayer and there's going to be a currency for it. The 60 hour single player will still be there I'm sure though.

They're not going to turn down millions of extra money.

Destor 12-29-2017 06:17 PM

60 hours of single player wasnt there for gta 5. 25-30

Destor 12-29-2017 06:18 PM

And yeah in all likelihood this is the last rockstar game i play before i admit im not in the demo anymore

Take Two mentioned either in their last fiscal report or last big interview about GTA Online being their model for all major releases in the future. Same way the NBA 2K series is the basis for their microtransaction system in games.

The first game had multiplayer as well but very likely Rockstar expands it with a GTA Online-like system for this game.

Kalyx triaD 12-29-2017 06:53 PM

Though it doesn't have a linear narrative GTA Online really have a great deal of content and progression. It's unlikely they'll stop doing a main story. Do not see the issue.
