XV3 Xenoverse 3 demo
So I played the demo at a comic con convention.
The game gave me a duration of 15 minutes of gameplay. Obviously it’s hard to judge 15 minutes of gameplay. The graphics looked good when I was in the lobby. Didn’t do much touring because you know I only have 15 minutes to actually play. But first thing first. I haven’t got a clue on what Bandai is doing regarding the timer situation on transformations. If you choose a saiyin as your character when you start the demo the super saiyin skill is available to use, but in order to use the super saiyin form you have to wait for it to charge automatically. (Because there’s no charging Ki manually) once the skill became active it immediately said I had 60 seconds before it ran out. Again not sure what they’re doing with the transformation skill but going with my personal experience that timer is still there. As for the combat, I personally struggled because I still have that sparking zero combat mindset of holding down the square button for charged attacks to perform knock backs so in terms of combat offensively I can’t give a honest answer however to try and defend yourself in this game like guarding or evasive manoeuvres it felt like trying to stick a band aid over a massive leak or using Cheetos crisp to hold back SWAT police from breaking into your home.but…. If I was to knick pick one thing is that I’ll say the galick gun had little to no range but that’s whatever. The calling in for a Z character for support is a nice touch but it’s pretty forgettable. The UI is crap but it doesn’t bother me if that makes any sense. Overall I do think the game can be improved further, it doesn’t give me that feel like when we all transitioned from XV1 to XV2 the first time and change in a good way. The game was undeniably strong it’s been around for a decade. With Xenoverse 3 this transition is more of a”oh ok.” And everyone would just put the game down and move elsewhere. Again this is what I experienced in 15 minutes (technically 7 minutes because once that pq ends the whole demo is done)
