CraveOnline: "Dead or Alive has forged its identity on the back of its improbably breasted cast of female characters. In the same way that Street Fighter is known for its tightly woven gameplay, Mortal Kombat for its excessive violence and Tekken for its raptors with boxing gloves and pandas, Dead or Alive‘s “thing” is that its characters, particularly the women, are ludicrously proportioned in a way that would probably make fighting pretty difficult for them given the back problems they’d face."
The game will get "improved visuals" and performance upgrades.
It needs a Pro patch. I started it but since I knew Pro was coming I’m going to start over. The game is good (and challenging which I really like) but it needs some more power to fix some of it’s performance issues. I think the engine isn’t great but with PSSR and more power it should run a lot smoother
Good because it needs it badly. The combat is excellent but the graphics are awful.
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.
Saad from eXputer: "Team Ninja's stories may not appeal to everyone due to their barebones nature but they deserve credit for being fun."
Exputer dude says Team Ninja needs more credit for their stories (what their known for) and credit for being fun (also known for challenging and fun gameplay). Team Ninja gets a LOT of credit. That's why they keep making games. You just can't expect everyone to award them the attention-level and regard that you think they deserve.
"I’m aware that some things are often not for everyone. Not because someone is actively gatekeeping but due to the product or premise failing to appeal to the masses" - Hmmm l dunno, sounds kinda like we are about to go for a cruise down gatekeeper blvd to me.
Takeaway, Exputer as a pimple gaming journal site that should not be concerned about the recognition standards of a studio they have zero involvement in. You perspective is outsider and totally disconnected from reality as far as how the industry sees them.
Takeaway 2, Exputer is only in about a generation deep into Team Ninja. Posers. Take your gate keepy BS and shove it. We know what makes team ninja great and they are doing just fine doing what THEY do.
Every branch under Koei Tecmo is talented I am a big fan of theirs no matter what the game is or who makes it.
I thought Nioh 1+2's stories were fine, nothing amazing but they kept me interested. William and the Protag in 2 were pretty cool. Wo Long was ok I guess but it just felt like another retelling of the three kingdoms again which we've seen told so much in video games and especially dynasty warriors.
Where is a new DEAD OR ALIVE !!!!
That is the only game we care about from Team Ninja 😂
I never really pay attention to the boobage when I'm fighting. Well, I usually roll with Phase 4, Mila or Alpha so that may have something to do with it (usually use Milas mma outfit or casual wear cause shes too cooool for swimsuits!) on top of not wanting to lose the match.
Sometimes after a match I'm like "gat damn those be wobblin" when it does that free pan zoom thing, but I'm more focused on the fight like any other game.
Think the huge somewhat gravity defying beasts don't really make me go wide-eyed anymore. Well I mean they do, but for testosterone reasons, not for shocked reasons.
Maybe ill see it differently if I think about it too much though: no back pain, how they aren't getting smacked in the face by those intense boob physics, etc, etc, but ya know i'm just mainly playin to fight. Fighting is really smooth.
Of course they won't remove the boobies because Dead of alive won't sell like it is now.
Seems we have conquered all the things wrong with exploitative practices of game developers and publishers. Lets now tackle a philosophical issue of freedom of expression since we have no other pressing issues to burden us anymore..
Give me a break, i pity the one who would waste the time needed to read this article fully.
I love boobs. Even if its digital :)
