Following the release of Dead or Alive 6, Koei Tecmo also made the first season pass for the game available for purchase and published a batch of screenshots showcasing the first DLC costumes. Full DLC pricing has also been announced, at least for Japan.
Dead or Alive 6 was supported by the developer for one year and we've heard nothing for an entire year after about what is happening with the series.
They added how much $$$ worth of DLC costumes? I think a lot of fans are probably sick of this practice other than the die-hards or those with deep pockets. Unlike other fighting games, adding more costumes brings nothing new to the table. The core game is very much the same as it was on release. With the free to play Venus Vacation or whatever it is called, there is a real chance they could add plenty new fighters from there, but they choose not to.
DoA is becoming a meme at this point. It used to be a fighting game with some sexy fighters, now it’s the other way around. Rather go to a porn site. Cheaper.
Usually i didnt care about the DLC because the games were packed with enough content on there own imo. But 6 is a f#@king disgrace, not only is it the least amount of constumes i've ever seen in a fighter period, they are the lamest and most generic bland outfits in the series. Seriously when Zack only has business suits and some ufc shorts, you done messed up. So much of this game screams of low effort, really shook my confidence in team ninja
Doa 3,4,5,6 were just DOA 2 with more characters and more sexy costumes anyway. Even Tekken evolved more.
Koei Tecmo has stopped supporting Dead or Alive 6 with new content but Marvelous is ready to throw fans a bone via Senran Kagura: New Link.
DLCs can end up being more expensive than the games themselves but these 10 titles are taking things way too far.
Why do people expect things that developers work really hard for, for free or close to nothing?
It depends, if its recycled and or cut content or crafted as a stand alone. One is more work than the other. And the cost should reflect that.
No one argued they should be free. But charging nearly $100 for some costume sets is robbery. Good thing the support died after a year.
I thought Sims was going to be more expensive. I am surprised about the cost of the "simulator DLCs" and not surprised about Star Citizen.
Imagine if EA pulled this kind of crap, they would get never ending complaints. Companies that make fighting games have been pushing and pushing and pushing, just to see how much they can get away with. The price for this season pass is obscene and if anybody tries to justify it, then they are living proof of just how brainwashed they have become.
Just look how bad season passes and microtransactions have become in the last decade. It's only a matter of time before we start seeing £100 season passes.
When is it enough? Instead of picking and choosing when to complain (like when EA do it) we should be complaining all of the time.
Dear lord no season pass is worth more than the price of the game
I'll just boycott it like the last game.
Instead of making more fighters, more moves, more backgrounds,etc. It's just all unnecessary garbage.
Tecmo lost my purchase a long time ago. Same game engine filled with costumes.
