If you look at the new DBZ game thats coming out Xenoverse 2. There are these races that include the namekians. I would have liked Piccolo to have his own diverse powers instead of the focus being on all the sayains. The contuation of DBZ has further destroyed characters we grew up to love in the first place. When the series is about one species it becomes boring very quickly.
I agree they could have other races be as powerful as well(well there was hit), piccolo should be up there as far as power goes. And I'm stoked for xenoverse 2, they fixed my main gripe with the first one, which was graphics, being made for last gen systems all the character models looked overly bulky and too similar(ex. Vegeta was just as bulky as goku, just slightly shorter, which isn't the case in the manga/anime, etc)

I am not as excited about Xenoverse 2 as I normally would be. But thats mainly has to do with my lack of interest in DBZ now.

I do like what they did with it. If the game is impressive as they showcase it I see no reason to not have fun.

I don't know where all the dislike of db super comes from. Am I the only one who likes it more than Z? It's like a true continuation of the series and isn't the abomination known as gt. it has so much potential and room for growth with the introduction of separate universes. it started out rough but between goku black and zamasu I think they've definitely hit their stride again. I like super saiyan blue and rose and for ppl to claim the others are irrelevant, it's pretty much been that way since we first learned about super saiyans. gt was so lame i fell asleep watching it and the villains are boring, even omega shenron. I thought goku black would be cliche as heck but they have enough subtle difficulties for me to consider him a completely different character. There's so much cool stuff they could bring back into play, I've got my fingers crossed that we'll see Vegito or Brolly again. Alll in all I love db super. Much more than gt and so far it seems as good as z imho.

Which is better, which is more enjoyable. . =D
I preferred DBZ but that's not to say Super isn't good. I would like Super a lot more if there were less power scaling issues and inconsistencies. Furthermore, Gohan should have to do something (yes, he's my favourite character and I like how he chose to live a peaceful yet successful life, but dammit I wanna see him do something heroic). I liked how Piccolo was in the tournament but was disappointed at how he fared.

The manga version does better when it comes to power scaling.

Anime power scaling comes from the idea that goku absorbed God Ki which powered up his base form and allowed him to fight beerus in SSJ

While the manga version states nothing of goku being powered up by God Ki outside of SSJ God and shows goku didn't fight beerus as a SSJ and only fought him while in his SSJ God form. Allowing power scaling in the manga to go much smoother.

such as why goku even bothered to go SSJ on frost or even bothering to go SSJ against future trunks and such. Plus piccolo put up a far far better fight against frost in the manga instead of him just sitting there like a idiot charging Special beam cannon and simply dodging which is what happened in the anime.

And of course in the manga Goku didn't do kaioken + SSJ blue in the manga which created a massive gap between him and vegeta and deals with blacks power levels seemingly better making him seem alot less weak than he did in the anime version due to Trunks having power matching that or being close to that of SSJ 3 Goku and still not being able to defeat black, while in the anime trunks got easily pounded into the ground by ssj goku in the anime.

The Story of DB Super is much better with more depth to character development and interactions.

The fighting/animation in Z is best but the graphics in Super are superior.

All in all, I am thoroughly satisfied because it is at least improving not diminishing.

That makes a lot more sense. I did like the Kaioken touch though. Also, Trunks got wrecked by SSJ3 Goku, not SSJ.

Although vegeta is my Favo DB character. I can't get out the fact Goku has gotten sooooo boring.

In DBZ he had many cool moments and could be serious. When was the last time goku gotten an awesome moment like this

yeah that's one of Super's main issues

-The new Goku is retarded
-The power levels are a joke

But these two are like this because super is more for Kid viewers, who don't give a shit about these 2 things

-The animation is the 3rd problem but it's already getting solved pretty much

It wasn't he who wanted to become a scholar it was his mother. Even if he did become a scholar it does not mean he should completly stop training. A mix of education and training would have made him the right mix of character. He could have been a fighter like Uryuu who uses a brain more in the fights than power. This is a shonen manga that isn't so deep enough to make this transformation so powerful. If it was another series than you would have a point. Cause Gohan would probably still be relevant even if he chose this path. But sadly in this series unless you are a God you are a fodder. The only one who is getting the right amount of love is Goku.

I fail to see how DB Super is better than GT. The power scaling has made others irrelevant.
Gohan was never a fighter. I mean, yes, he does like fighting, but the violence of it all always put him off. Thus, in the end of DBZ (not the start of DBS) they made him a scholar. The end goal for him was always to settle down and stop fighting, even if the idea of becoming a scholar was more his mother's than his own.

And? Goku and vegeta far surpassed everyone and rightfully so. You want more fan service or you want a story? Everyone else was far weaker ever since saiyan saga. Its the reality. Gohan doesn't have a fighting role anymore. Time for you to move on.
