Simply said. Garbage. This said despite my love from Dragon Ball.
3D environment fighting game with a horrible camera... Cannot be more fail. Dragon Ball Xenoverse is like a driving game where you must drive but can only see backwards.
Unexpected leaps of difficulty. A team of THREE Gogeta Super Saiyan 4's can get a whooping by a lame Piccolo and Gohan Super Saiyan 1... My computer team mates can both fall while I take care of my own 1v1. So, a 3v2 can easily become a 1v2. Don't even try reviving your team mates when you have two assholes trying to **** you up. I also enjoy how the AI has infinite stamina and KI. Fair fights...
Supers and ultimate's that don't register to close off a combo. Let's not speak of how retarded your aim is, I mean, landing anything that is not a auto guided attack is literally a pain if not done when your target is incapacitated, and even then, like mentioned above, some attacks don't register. I can go on and on about the camera, poor aim, and lack of registering attacks...
The RPG aspect is a complete fail. Some of the most basic features of RPG's was not implemented. 15 years ago when the genre was still kind of new, after some time some crazy smart person thought of equipment previewing. Example, you want to buy some gear, we all want gear for the perks they give us, but a lot of us care about how it will make our character look. Ok, so say the perks are simply more important that the looks, what about the accessories that literally change nothing aside than aesthetics? Stand near a NPC that offers a quest or can become your mentor... Wow... That beeping noise...
The idea is good, the execution was poor. Thus, the game is mediocre at best. Can and will my opinion change? Until I see this prehistoric game developer make something out of it... No.
Though, I do believe it has, or had potential. But, it's a sad excuse for a game. The developers must have smoked a ton of meth.
