The requirements have been revealed for unlocking the five hidden characters (Akira Yuki, Alpha-152, Gen Fu, Pai Chan and Sarah Bryant) in Dead or Alive 5.
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 debuted 10 years ago today, ushering in a new era of AAA free-to-play gaming which has since become commonplace.
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.
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.
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.
Exactly.
People complain about the dlc, but you get the actual game.
You're paying to look at their bodies.
I have no problem whatsoever with the fanservice. My problem was the endless, expensive packs of pointless costumes that people loved to buy apparently.
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
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.
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
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
Truly the best in the series. If you only want one DOA this is the one to get right here.
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.
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.
I would also like that add that real-life female fighters can take perfectly care of themselves inside and outside of the ring.
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.
destructoid ....a bunch of tragic people trying to relate themslves with gaming ....go close yourselves
@SaveFerris " That journalist must be constantly triggered by fighting games"
Try searching for his name + this:

"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 ;)
I honestly like to watch female soccer more than the male version, as they tend to whine less when they get tackled and whatnot.
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.
@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...
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).
BUHAHA
Don't include women in fighting/shooting games = sexist because women are equal
Put women in = sexist because it promotes domestic violence
my main gripe with the VF characters, is they ripped the audio straight from VF5.......VF5 has horrible sound quality, the recording studio musta been crap.
and the voice acting wwas terrible, its pretty apparent in Doa5, wish they would have re-recorded the sounds
How many titles are in it? i unlocked pai already but i want alpha too.. Your right Lucretia lol.. the voice samples are from VF5.. It was prolly a licensing issue with sega not wanting anyone else doing it & tecmo didnt wanna pay em to make new ones.. Ive been playing the game with the pulse wireless sony headphones & im amazed.. It rumbles with the controller & the danger zone explosions are incredible.. I was kinda shook up & had to lower the pulse impact to about midway...
