I think you're talking about the scenario where Trunks attempts to create yet another timeline where Gohan lives by saving him from the Androids, and we have to stop him because that's literally the biggest no-no. He he knows this and it's what got him roped into the TP in the first place.
And that really just shows how little they play with this setting. They didn't want to put in the work needed for the amount of What-If's the Xenoverse Idea brings, so we get endless movie villain cameos and main cast characters getting purple auras and red eyes with the occasional OC BBEG thrown in.

It's wild that a pure fighter like SZ has better scenarios than the game who's entire premise is "what if".

Bothers the fuck out of me. Why we couldn't have also been made to play the villain but for the greater good?

>Cell Saga has just been salvaged
>TP Trunks has been acting weird lately
>especially since Towa and Mira fucked with the Future Gohan timeline a little
>you catch him sneaking off somewhere
>quietly follow him
>he enters a scroll
>you follow
>it's the day Future Gohan dies
>you witness TP Trunks and Future Gohan about to defeat the Androids
>you have to jump in and protect them
>TP Trunks is wondering wtf you're doing
>"I get it bro, but this is against the rules. You know how this supposed to go."
>Objective: "Defeat Future Gohan"

>it's the day Freeza destroys planet Vegeta
>Bardocks last stand
>Towa and Mira give Bardock some steroids
>SSJ Bardock
>he prevent the destruction of the planet and he bodies first form Freeza
>he's about to kill Freeza
>enter TP
>Objective: "Defeat Bardock"
>he dies asking you "Why?"
>no answer
>only your own ball of destruction that kills Bardock and wipes out the Saiyans

>Saiyan saga
>the Z-fighters have been on the Towa brand steroids
>they've defeated the Saibamen and Nappa with no losses
>Goku finally arrives
>"Holy shit guys, gg. But let me fight Vegeta alone."
>Goku and Vegeta fly off
>they're all about to follow but...
>ENTER TP
>Objective: "Defeat Piccolo, Tien and Yamcha"
 
It's kind of sad how Bandai really does make the most awful decisions imaginable with their IPs. Sparking Zero could have had a comeback with NEO, but then they shaft people with the Ultimate edition fiasco and overcharge both the base game and DLCs (NEO of which should have been a free update). I know it's barely surface level scummy behavior for Bandai as they've done far worse with little to no repercussions, they're the living embodiment of "too big to fail," but what exactly is the reason they'd rather ruin any opportunity for a good amount of continuous income and goodwill, which itself can get even more continuous income?
Bit of a rhetorical question but it still bothers me.

God stuff like that could've gone in so many different, more interesting directions. Basic idea that's already better, you have to hold off Trunks in a fight while the Androids kill Gohan. Even darker, Trunks succeeds and manages to save Gohan and kill the Androids, so you have to go and kill Gohan or something to correct the timeline. More dark shit which tests your morals and makes the Kai more morally ambiguous like they should be (the timelines mattering way more than a single mortal's problems).

So, I have decided to formally introduce you to Stephen Morris/Digital Overlord/Digital Entertainment/Critical Geek/Rebel Otaku (Yeah, I know. He has a lot of names)

Since it has been almost an year since I talked about this retard Stephen, I feel like a little refresher is in order.

Stephen Morris is a mean, rapey, spergy pissed off midget that drank his own semen and loves some cucumber up his ass. No, really! He actually shoved a cucumber up his ass!
This is straight up uncensored NSFW because there is no way to hide the cucumber in his ass. You are warned

Apparently he is also very acquainted with @MrAnimeNorthStar and I would love to know about the relationship he has with that retarded midget.

Anyways, Stephen has made the rounds again when he decided to show his face in the wacky server. This streamer, going by the name of MikeyNohMore, had a chance to talk to this great personality along with a bunch of other guys, who I assume to be his aloggers.

Stream - https://kick.com/mikeynohmore/videos/019fe43b-d7f8-70b6-b2b7-b561c2492aad

Archive - https://ghostarchive.org/archive/aEbZy

The stream was a straight up shitshow, it is something you have to see fully. But there are some highlights that only cover the fraction of the streams insanity



Also, if you are one of those that support Playstation making their games digital from 2028 onwards, let this powerhouse of critical thinking explain to you why you are wrong.


Edit:

There's more

Is this true?
 
Hell I think it'd be more interesting if the Xeno series showed us completely fucked timelines that we just have to deal with as they are.

Sure this timeline has Goku and Geets in opposite roles(Geets sent to earth, Goku the invader) but we aren't going back even further to set it right. Our job would he to make sure these guys end up in the same general roles as the ones we know.
Another timeline has Goku not exist at all, and instead it was an infant Broly who was sent to earth and found by Gohan.
Cooler merc'd Freeza in a power grab and it's him plaguing the Z fighters instead.
Maybe one where Cell, after attaining perfection, is satisfied because his goal was achieved so now he's just... kinda on the team. What kinda changes would come from having such a powerful ally on their side? Goku would still be around, Vegeta wouldn't lose his will to fight, Gohan was able to do things his way(end the threat without murder) etc. Piccolo caused damn near just as much death and he was allowed to reform, same for Veggie, so it's not implausible.

There's a lot of things you could do that aren't just "we have to put things back the way they're supposed to be according to how Trunks fucked the timeline for ever across all realities apparently".

I don't remember anything about her threatening him, she simply made a big deal that he committed a crime and that he needs to make up for it and Trunks just agreed that it made sense.

Timeline where King Piccolo won and it's his empire that has to repel the Saiyan invasion, maybe even with the help of Gero somehow since they both high fived over that little shit being dead.

Yeah, games just easy far as the story goes. The challenge comes in all the PQs, raids and expert missions.
Leveling slows to a fucking halt soon enough, don't worry. I'm ~104 and the best way to level up now is
>PQ 23
>Farm Dragon Balls from the TP reinforcements
>Wish for TP medals
>Level up at the Tosok NPC
>Repeat till 199
Alternatively
>Do "Return of The Great Ape Festival" PQ
>Bardock, Raditz, Nappa
>2 sets of TP's in the mission
>potential of 6 balls
>hope rng favors you

OR you can do what i did
>Download save editor
>give myself inanimate TP
>Level up at Tosok

Thanks Tri-Tachyon'sClown for the heads up.
Feels got being able to kick ass again. Now i just need to get myself a good QQ bang.

If you're just gonna cheat stuff in then give yourself a perfect QQ bang too. Doesn't really matter when you're max level though.

16 and 17 and 18 got over their programmed instinct to kill Son Goku and even during the Games, Perfect Cell was more "I want a good fight" than anything else. Something like when Gohan goes SSJ2, the Goku part of Perfect Cell takes over and is like OMG THAT'S AMAZIN CAN WE STOP BEEFIN I WANNA TRAIN WITH YOU GUYS AND GET THAT STRONG! Everyone else is like Nooooooooooooooooooo but Goku says yeah sure that sounds great! And everyone knows Goku makes the decision always because reasons so that's the way it is

apart from him being a total creep and threatening to rape a girl named maki taki and wished for me to get raped by a dolphin [which he did on MULTIPLE OCCASSIONS] and sent my adress to the FBI and DELIBRATRELY LIE TO THE FEDS saying that i'm a pedo and Konosuke retweeting it; i don't know nor care about the manlet virgin with rage except for the time when i come to his house and enact American History X tumblr_lqat7mkEn81qi7kbeo2_500.webp

if you ask me, he deserves it. him, and Brandon.
 

New trailer showing off the races

Things notable to me:

Beerus Planet
More interior arenas, the one shown here having a Red Ribbon logo in the back. Red Pants Army theory getting strong.
We have thin majins
We have fat namekians
There's a small head shot of a Frieza race at the end that kind of looks like a bulkier physique
Namekians gets Piccolo's unleashed form (and I assume the orange form too)
The Demon chick has that transformation form heroes where she grows horns.
There's at least one person who's happy that Dr Gero is in the roster.
Trailer ends with what seems to be a shot of a cutscene recreation of Goku meeting Bulma in Dragon Ball

I really hope we get an actual clear look at how customization works.
