The creator of the Dead or Alive fighting series has launched a scathing attack on the developers of the latest title in the series.
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.
Dead or Alive producer Tomonobu Itagaki has swapped cheesecake for NFTs in his new game Warrior, which contains all the Web3 nonsense you'd expect.
It got a little out of hand I agree. But, then again, who am i to complain hihihi.
I agree with him. DOA basically represents everything I despise with the video game industry. It's time the industry grew up and stop producing juvenile garbage like this. If people want video games to start being recognized as a serious art form like books and film, crap games like DOA need to stop existing. This also goes for other franchises like Metal Gear, God of War, etc. I love those franchises but Clean up your act and stop using needless salacious scenes in your game to sell copies. It cheapens what otherwise are great games.
meh, everyone loves boobs. all in all its a good fighting game with alot of depth. its easy to learn but hard to master.
im just happy that its finally coming out on PC next month!
i think all fighting games (all games in general really) should have clothing options like in DoA, i love it <3 you get to choose whatever you want no matter how skimpy it is. and who would judge you?
He's only pissed because it was his money train, and he got derailed.
As erotic as DOA5: LR is, it doesn't even come close to the costumes and tit bounce seen in Tomonobu Itagaki;s versions of DOA1 and DOAX.
And hey guess what.... when girls jump around.... their tits bounce..... it's a fact, look it up. ;)
Devil's Third is NEVER coming out, and nobody gives a shit about it... The hype train died 4 years ago. He can blast DOA all he wants, it's not going to bring any good publicity to the outdated turd of a game he's wasted 5 years of his life developing.
Lets say... "this game found its audience..and the developers and the publisher know their audience"
As a fighting game fan who cares mostly about the gameplay and not virtual female characters I stick to other fighting games and don't support DOA though.
