so sad... Why on earth would you bother with this dumb title

DivineAssault 4232d ago

if u look beyond the boobs, its a great fighting game.. It has great characters, story, stage design, fighting mechanics, & online.. This game gets its attention due to boob physics being off the wall & perverted costumes but its an amazing fighting game... Its better than tekken in my opinion... This & soul calibur are great arcade fighting games.. & why call it dumb? i see your dressed in a similar manner...

FinalomegaS4232d ago

did you say "look beyond the boobs"?

i..i..can't..clicking link to see the full slideshow.

fun series but i think they tried to hard to bring the sex sells idea even if it is unintentional.

worth a rent for sure.

@claud 3

I have seen you regulary in DOA articles, somthing must be really urking you bad that you always comment in doa articles. Are you butthurt with envy or somthing and just what people to see your cloudy opinion? you know what shut up and dont comment on doa articles. your so determined to get your point cross that you dont like doa but you know what ? know one cares about you or your opinion move on with your life.

claud34232d ago

nope, just think its really sad that games like this pass of as actually games and people get a quickie out of them

Kyosuke_Sanada4232d ago (Edited 4232d ago )

The thing is Dead Or Alive is a great fighting game that but just has oversexualized characters for an identity that's all. It'd a unique balance that revolves around a triangle of combat (strikes counters and throws) that works similar to rock, paper, scissors but in a fast paced way.

Every new entry tries it's best to make the game as fluid as possible with very dynamic backgrounds to boot. People make fun of the sexual overtones yet there isn't a single fighting game that doesn't have breast and butt bounce physics now-a-days because of it.

Besides what fighting game isn't male dominated except for Dead Or Alive so if females are going to be the majority in a fighting game then why not make them look good.....

Klonopin4232d ago

Your avatar combined with that comment is just too much.

Bigpappy4232d ago

Examiner.com, with their pop-up leaden site, is making light of these costumes and people who care about them enough to submit them, do so. The series is not about tits and ass. It is a very serious fighting game, one of the best on the market.

The guys, who do the art work, try to make the girls as attractive as they can. Lots of fans and the media always talk about them in a sexual manner. So, a few years back they made a volley ball game which was really an attempt to satisfy the horney teens who really wanted to have sex with these digital women. It sold well enough to warrant a bit more focus in that area, for those fans who look forward to seeing sexy images to satisfy their thirst. This actually gives the artist a great deal of pride in their work and pushes them to do their best work.

I am not here to judge, I just like the way the game plays and having the characters look this good is welcomed.

Hopefully they have a matching USSR swimsuit as well.

claud34232d ago

nope the series sucks big time and i would never play it again.. 1 GAME TWO MINUTES, was enough play time for me

Vortex3D4232d ago

Do you even get such type of "swimsuit" outfits if you buy the regular edition?

(If you think the "swimsuit" outfits are too distracting to play the actual game, play DOA Extreme 2 and then play DOA5. Once you have seen the girls wearing next to no clothing in DOA Extreme 2, the girls will look overly clothed in DOA5.)

Didn’t Expect To See You Here: 5 Influential Fighting Game Guest Characters

Trevor Walker said: Fighting games have always been able to simultaneously experiment and innovate while staying true to their roots in the best of ways. Mechanics change, crossovers take place, and evolution occurs. One of the best examples of all three can be seen in the coveted guest character.

Dead or Alive 5 - 10 Years of Free-to-Play

Dead or Alive 5 debuted 10 years ago today, ushering in a new era of AAA free-to-play gaming which has since become commonplace.

Glemt576d ago

I really wish "free-to-play" got a different name. Because, yeah, you can play (part of) the game for free, but then they hypercharge you for DLC. Nearly 1000 credits to get all the DLC? Damn.

neutralgamer1992575d ago

Exactly give me a complete bundle

MadLad575d ago

You get the fighting game.
They make you pay for the bikinis and booty shorts.

ApocalypseShadow575d ago

Worse decision ever for the gamer. Over emphasis on fan service nonsense and micro transactions than making a great fighting game.

Use to love the game as a Virtual Fighter offshoot and competitor to VF and Tekken. Won't touch this current incarnation with a 10 foot pole. You know there was something wrong when they tried to charge for hair color.

spicelicka575d ago

I wish it wouldn't be called "fan service" anymore. It's of service to no one, it's just exploiting our perverted nature blatantly, but then again people who fall for it can't really complain.

MadLad575d ago

Exactly.
People complain about the dlc, but you get the actual game.
You're paying to look at their bodies.

Silly gameAr575d ago

I have no problem whatsoever with the fanservice. My problem was the endless, expensive packs of pointless costumes that people loved to buy apparently.

lucian229575d ago

Don't be a cry baby. Go play another game if you don't like fan service. Not every game needs to be woke trash.

DOA only fell because of overpriced dlc

Silly gameAr575d ago

Not every comment needs to bring up woke when there is no wokeness going on. I wish they would ban the word woke from the face of the planet.

lucian229573d ago (Edited 573d ago )

You sound "woke" yourself, crying and wanting more cancel culture. That's the problem with you people, you don't like something and just want to cancel it.

Woke is now a day a synonym for social justice Warrior. It's people who cry that something is offensive and use cancel culture to destroy something they don't like...... Sorry but it applies when people complain about boobs

isarai575d ago (Edited 575d ago )

Do people really not realize there was a full release of this game? I've seen this pop up a few times and it always baffles me that people talk as if DOA5 was only F2P. I still have the Last Round disc that includes all characters, maps and most outfits

HeliosHex575d ago

Truly the best in the series. If you only want one DOA this is the one to get right here.

Did Jonathan Holmes just say that the DOA games promote beating of women?

I (Robin Ek, TGG) was just informed that it appears as if Jonathan Holmes (writer for Nintendo Force and Destructoid) have stated that the DOA series promotes beating of women. So, here's my take on the matter.

SaveFerris2609d ago

Oh my days! That journalist must be constantly triggered by fighting games, but then I don't understand why he just doesn't quit if he can't handle the scripted actions of pixels.

TGG_overlord2609d ago

I would also like that add that real-life female fighters can take perfectly care of themselves inside and outside of the ring.

SaveFerris2608d ago

Absolutely. There are lots of women who take part in contact sports willingly because they enjoy it, and not just martial arts, but also rugby and rugby league.

naruga2608d ago (Edited 2608d ago )

destructoid ....a bunch of tragic people trying to relate themslves with gaming ....go close yourselves

Eonjay2608d ago

Even if he did say it, why should we be triggered?

Simon_the_sorcerer2608d ago

@SaveFerris " That journalist must be constantly triggered by fighting games"

Try searching for his name + this:

TGG_overlord2608d ago

@SaveFerris

"Absolutely. There are lots of women who take part in contact sports willingly because they enjoy it, and not just martial arts, but also rugby and rugby league."

- Yep, I like American Football more than Rugby though ;)

Simon_the_sorcerer2608d ago

I honestly like to watch female soccer more than the male version, as they tend to whine less when they get tackled and whatnot.

GrimReaperGamer2608d ago

Jonathan Holmes is a liberal snowflake. Quick Mr. Holmes aka Captain No Manhood call on the developers of DOA to make a safe space in game for these women. The amount of mentally unstable people on earth is hilarious, but also extremely scary at the same time.

TGG_overlord2608d ago (Edited 2608d ago )

@GrimReaperGamer "Jonathan Holmes is a liberal snowflake"

- That is correct. Nevertheless, I had no idea who that guy was at first though. However, the more I read and heard about him, the more I started to realize that his indeed a hardcore liberal snowflake.

"The amount of mentally unstable people on earth is hilarious, but also extremely scary at the same time."

- At first I thought that he was just fooling around, but his pretty dead serious about what he thinks and says...

Simon_the_sorcerer2608d ago

Ah, that "Holmes"...Then I get his rather stupid statement (s).

TGG_overlord2608d ago

That's the one, yes...I've been listening to some of his other interviews, and his like a more hardcore SJW version of Jack Thompson (imo).

annoyedgamer2608d ago

BUHAHA

Don't include women in fighting/shooting games = sexist because women are equal

Put women in = sexist because it promotes domestic violence

ShaunCameron2608d ago

Feminists and their enablers don't know what they want.

Atomicjuicer2608d ago

They just want to bitch and moan. Best ignored basically.
