What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
November 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $3.99. Its cuts run 85 percent off as a rule. There have been 80 in the 12 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today's $3.99 at 90 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. The nearest things to it, Absolver ($2.99, scores 35) and DC Universe™ Online (free, scores 56), are both worse buys on this math.
This site sampled 790 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 13 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 66 percent of the 971 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 17.2 hours. Doing everything runs 90, 5.2 times as long.

What players say
tbh I'm just yappin on this one. I'm already on my 4th replay of the main story. I got this from through illegal means that my fren gave me back then and had it running on my old potato PC that had a Intel core 2 duo, Nvidia GT 730 with 2.5GB of DDR2 RAM. Game ran 30fps with that thang. I still haven´t played the DLC's or touched multiplayer but I dont think multi is alive anymore Replaying it rn to get nostalgia of...
Decided I wanted to 100% this game before Xenoverse 3 released. This game was cool and fun when it first came out but it just hasn't aged well and it's no wonder why they made Xenoverse 2 a year after this game released. Combat is very slow and barebones and It's just RNG on top of RNG on top of even more RNG. While yes XV2 also has a lot of RNG it's nowhere near as bad as it is in this game. Enemies having infinite...

DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE scores 82/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/323470/dragon-ball-xenoverseThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 13, price as of Sep 24.
