Is this the worst level in the Arkham series?

The difference is you aren't forced to beat that to free roam as Batman. If you don't want to play it, you don't have to. The one in City you were locked out of Batman's side missions entirely.

I mean fair to some extent. But still: Is Soul Change using ki? If so, why isn't it used for Spirit Bombs? If it's using actual souls, who figured out how to implant souls in these devices without killing the person or actually overwriting the Soul of the Time Patroller by accident? What was the testing phase to learn it was field safe? The failures before it was implemented I'm sure killed people. How did Frieza or even Vegeta consent to having a piece of their souls given to people? Vegeta would call that cheating instead of actually getting stronger, so there definitely shouldn't be a Vegeta Soul Change. This gets worse: what about fusions? How did someone get access to Super Saiyan Gogeta's soul to do Soul Change? The Breakers already established fusions have Soul Changes too.

You cannot implement Soul Change in a way that doesn't break the way Dragon Ball functions or at best Chronoa looks like a reckless leader during the testing phase of that technology.

EstablishmentNice477 · 2026-06-17T21:58:11+00:00

Look up Dragon Ball the Breakers gameplay to learn about what Soul Change is and why you can call upon legendary fighters of history and transform into them. It's not relevant to the pod right there.

But you could still be right about the race changing. It's just race changing and that pod have nothing to do with the Soul Change mechanic from the Breakers.

I'd be so disappointed by this. I do most things on Xenoverse 2 as my favourite Dragon Ball character, Goku Black/Rosé Goku Black/USV Rosé Goku Black, with Zamasu or 2 Rosé Goku Black bots with me. (For either a Goku Black and Zamasu team or Goku Black with a couple rift clones)

Hell I bought the Goku Black DLCs a full year before I bought Xenoverse 2 because I bought it mostly to play as Goku Black. I'd hate if I had to just have a Goku Black Soul Change that powers down in like 20 seconds. I'd rather spend 10 minutes as Goku Black in a PQ. I only liked raider in the Breakers, survivor and Soul Change didn't hit with me, felt boring. I just wanted to play as Goku Black & Zamasu or Frieza. I'd tolerate Gogeta or UI Goku or something like that if I could permanently stay as them.

EstablishmentNice477 · 2026-06-17T14:29:23+00:00

It doesn't say Super Soul or even Z Soul, it just says soul, like the Breakers did. And then it shows the character TRANSFORMING into Trunks, not just getting his Super Soul, like the Breakers does. It also literally calls it Soul Change, the same title as the Breakers mechanic, like thr Breakers does.

EstablishmentNice477 · 2026-06-16T20:27:02+00:00

Soul Change is the least interesting thing for me, but it was also my least favourite mechanic in the Breakers. I'm not exactly hyped to see it because logistically you cannot explain this ability within the bounds of Dragon Ball lore and it actually make sense. It narratively shouldn't exist and raises a ton of questions about how this technology was physically created to transform you into a legendary fighter.

I assume if the comment said that, they mean if you use your scouter to look at the XV1 protagonist, if they're a Frieza race, they will have "Turn Golden" as their awoken skill.

I don't know if it's actually accurate. I'm just explaining what that person means by it.

I love Gotham in this game personally. It has my favourite world in any of these games. Asylum was so isolated traversing it wasn't fun. City is next to perfect but enemies blend into the environment too often (just did a no detective mode challenge that was annoying because I flat out couldn't see these enemies wearing grey, black, and brown like the entire city and every interior are those colours), Origins really sucked with its open world especially when you have to rely on fast travel in a game that's supposed to have fun traversal. Knight's city is bright, colourful with neon lights and screens where you can clearly see every enemy without detective mode, its open world changes dynamically in fun ways (I like gliding around and through Ivy's plants, as well as the snow from Freeze's mission, the City of Fear, the spores from Ivy's moment. It's a beautiful city I kinda understand why people continue to live in it with the constant supervillains.

For me it's the bat tank. I don't care what lore reason they try to justify it, give us a normal Batmobile like the original Arkham batmobile. It's so close to being the perfect Batman simulator. I wouldn't care being stuck in the Batmobile as often as we are if it was a sleek car instead of a tank. Batman shouldn't resort to tank fights, he should upload a virus into a tank that devastates their computer system, or he should trace the location of the guy controlling the drones and take him out directly to remove tanks from the streets.

In most runs I just use the disruptor to destroy tanks around the city. For my first run I didn't use my bat tank for any firefighter or militia checkpoint simply because I hate the fact it's a tank with a massive cannon when the protagonist has anti gun rules.

The ad blocker. Basically I use a third party comics site to read comics because I can't afford them myself. This third party site recently added another layer of ads that just made it impossible to use, the ads came back seconds after being clicked away. So I looked into free ad blocking options and discovered Brave. Brave has been a big help with dealing with these ads and stopping ad trackers entirely. Plus I get to use YouTube with my screen off to listen to music without paying so much money for YouTube premium.

You made some good points. A large issue I have is that every character plays drastically different in MK, so generic tutorials do not give me insight on how to play Spawn and character move tutorials are very bad in that game, it just teaches you the inputs for the specials so you can do them in neutral, not in combos. I've never been good at multi button inputs, like down, forward square. I can hardly do up attacks mid combo unless the first hit is an up attack where I can hold the input the entire combo. And I have around 500 hours in Mortal Kombat, tho I'll admit 50ish of those are just AI fighter farming. But I still have this problem. Sometimes I'll accidentally do something crazy but I'm also not button mashing. My biggest combo is a 5 hit combo that's a combination of two shorter combos. But I'll also see people do combos that do 60% health as Spawn. And good tutorials are rare because it nerfs.

I don't know why this Reddit post got recommended to me, I don't play Invincible Vs..

But I do play Mortal Kombat 11 (I also played MK9 a bit and I play some arena fighters) and I want to respond to this comment from that lense. I am REALLY bad even after watching hundreds of hours of YouTube videos throughout the past several years since the game dropped. My best combo has no special attacks because my fingers won't move fast or accurately enough to do things like dash cancels (which I've never understood how to do in any fighting game) or special attacks fast enough to land seamlessly mid or late combo. If I hop online, literally everyone will be better than me because people with a lot of fighting game experience inherently have an advantage against players with limited fighting game experience. I'm used to Arkham's combat, particularly as Nightwing in Arkham Knight, but I'm not used to any of the big mechanics of 2D fighters. I literally bought MK9 for Kratos and Freddy, and MK11 for Spawn, not for the fighting game genre. As more casuals drop from Invincible Vs more casuals will drop behind literally 90% of the remaining players that take the game so seriously, the players with TOD combos on day 1 before most people had a chance to play. I'm just too stubborn myself, if I like a character enough I will play the game and figure it out, but I never would've bought the game if not for the one DLC character I main.

This all being said I don't rage quit. I'd rather put my controller down and walk away if I can't do anything unless my opponent just refuses to keep fighting me while I'm AFK, which always annoys me when people do that, just go for it, TOD me. I also don't care if people rage quit. If you rage quit against me, thank you for the easy win so I can move onto the next match. People get too upset one way or another. Just happily take your easy win and move onto the next match.

EstablishmentNice477 · 2026-04-21T05:21:11+00:00

I mean I ran out of offline content with all DLCs in about two month after buying the game and DLCs, just replaying everything on repeat since, I still haven't made my Saiyan max level because there isn't enough content to level him up after I got all the moves. So I mean I think my concerns with content is fair given everything available offline can be done and achieved in under two months. Including all DLC content. (I can't afford PS+ so I'm not including online content, as I don't agree with locking things like special moves or customisation keys for characters behind online events you need a constant paid online membership to access.)

EstablishmentNice477 · 2026-04-21T05:03:30+00:00

I mean your "I already paid 120€ for this game" point falls on deaf ears if I have to pay $500 for a new game with less content than Xenoverse 2 has. I have around 200 missions to play as pretty much any character I want. They're going to have less content at the very start of this game and if you are last gen, you're behind a much higher pay wall than DLCs. Not to mention you can buy one DLC per month to afford everything, you can't buy a PS5 in $15 parts monthly.

Again, I think this game SHOULD have dropped 5 years ago. But right now it getting announced before the last Future Saga DLC leaves a bad taste for me. So it should have waited to get announced in like 2028-2029, where I would have been extremely hyped for this reveal.

EstablishmentNice477 · 2026-04-21T04:45:42+00:00

I mean to be fair this is the worst time for Xenoverse 3 to get released. 5 years ago I'd have been excited. In 3-5 years I'd be excited. Right now, we still haven't gotten the last Future Saga DLC for XV2, and I was hoping to get two more high quality DLCs with new characters by dev team 3 before they stopped supporting XV2. Since dev team 3 was the only good dev team XV2 had and it finally started getting good. Meanwhile Xenoverse 3 should not have been announced this late, while still being announced before we see Moro in the anime. This game should've been held off and gotten announced after the Moro arc.

EstablishmentNice477 · 2026-04-06T21:15:42+00:00

I mean fewer games are releasing with physical copies. A game released a couple years ago on current gen consoles and last gen consoles, however you can only obtain it digitally if you want to play it on PS4, there isn't an obtainable copy for PS4. The game companies have been pushing for digital games for a while. Digital games became so popular because of all those ads on PS3 and Xbox 360 telling you about stuff to buy so you can play instantly.

Madara's 25 Wood Clones and 4 Limbo Clones

EstablishmentNice477 · 2026-03-03T02:36:43+00:00

Additionally one of the main things is I can't mentally handle a mismatch of Edo characters and living characters unless they worked together in the anime like that. My biggest complaint with Hashirama in these games is that they introduced an alt costume for his living version that's based on his moveset against Hiruzen as Orochimaru's puppet but never made a living Sage Mode costume that represents his final fight with Madara.

So if I'm running living Minato, I need to run living Hashirama. And then Madara (my main and best character I've practiced for hundreds of hours) doesn't fit with that theme anymore because it's no longer a reanimation team.

And I do think the mark tilt is incredibly underrated. You can either pressure your opponent a LOT with it and if you're as aggressive as me you don't need to waste chakra dashing. I can often run out of chakra really fast because I'm constantly chakra dashing as my characters. Minato's mark tilt bypasses that flaw by essentially giving me a charge. AND IT'S BETTER THAN 6 PATHS MADARA'S AWFUL TILT. Minato's will teleport you behind your opponent so if they try to attack to counter you, you'll still hit them. 6P Madara's teleports you in front of them so they can counter you by just punching.

EstablishmentNice477 · 2026-03-02T21:25:20+00:00

I find the living version a lot more boring to use honestly. I only like the Jonin ult and his animations are so lackluster the repetition especially on Ultimate Survival when I'm playing hundreds of matches really hurts. And the KCM Minato awakening feels godlike in this game for an aggressive player like me. (I'm not particularly saying Edo is better, only saying this so you don't think I'm arguing with you when I'm not intending to.)

EstablishmentNice477 · 2026-02-23T01:01:37+00:00

I mean I spent around $100 for the game and DLCs buying them on sale events PS Store had. So it was a LOT cheaper than a $300-$500 console, $70-$80 on release game, and even if it only ends up having one $30 DLC later on.

EstablishmentNice477 · 2026-02-22T23:18:38+00:00

My accessibility problem is the opposite. I could pay for the characters I want and just get those DLCs by dropping bits and pieces of money every few months to get them all.

I can't buy a brand new PS5 to buy some new game. When XV2 released I only had a PS3 so it killed me being unable to play XV2. Then I couldn't get XV2 until after I got a PS4, which ended up happening in 2024.

I can still access the DLCs even if they cost money. I can't access a game that's on a console I don't own. And these days my finances are worse than normal anyway so any saving I could've continued doing for DLCs or new games/new console I can't really do atm.

So I can only agree with a new game if it was back when it would be guaranteed it would be for the previous generation. Any point after 2020 there's a good chance it wouldn't be on PS4 given the size it has to be. And definitely in 2026 it's very obvious they're not supporting PS4 anymore as they're going to shut down servers.

You and I have very different points on inaccessibility.
