Does anyone here even take the DoA games as a worthwhile fighting game to revisit anymore and not something to rub one off to every now and then?

I just got off to the Kasumi game so it's got me wondering

doa has a great rock paper scissor game system with the moves easy to pull off and fun to watch. Its a great change of pace to combo juggler spam and ultimate final attack bullshit

In terms of gameplay, 2 Ultimate and 5 are fantastic, both very fun and balanced games (though some of the challenges on 2 are frustrating).

3 is too easy and 4 is annoyingly hard with stun locking everywhere.

>tfw this was an actually decent and respected fighting game once
>japs turned it into porn

i like dimensions, too bad it's dead.
Ein is my main

there are people who play DoA5 online and shit from Sup Forums

just download the free to play version on Steam, 360, PS3, Xbone, PS4 and play some matches you faggot.

>japs turned it into porn
The accurate description would be DLC paradise, Itagaki always had the girls as pandering, and with him about half of them were under 18, but the guy had an actual fighting game in mind, it wasn't all just fetish fuel.

Now DOA's core audience has shifted, they are the ones making sure Marie and Honoka steal all the spotlight while buying 1 thousand dollars worth of DLC and Koei Tecmo is loving it. If a DOA6 ever happens I seriously fear what it will even be, it could have microtransations to make Counter Strike blush.

DOA5 is nothing compared to DOA3.

cool.

I just wish DoA5 had some of the stages 3 had.

I remember it has like 3 stages.

There was a time there were more men in cast than women, there was a time a man could be a DOA game cover art, there was a time Aerosmith was in the soundtrack; it all looks so alien now, like there are two different Dead or Alive mainline series.

unfortunately people only look at the game, not play them.

if only people realized that you can play DoA5 without caring about the optional and cosmetic DLC, the jiggling boobs, and all that other bullshit that got nothing to do with the gameplay.


if only they could think about playing it.

KT keeps coming with new DLC every holiday and shoving Marie & Honoka on everything, that's the only way I can see the series now, sorry.

how does that even work?
do like start up the game, go past the bland title screen and just see DLC FOR HONOKA AND MARIE?

nah you literally had no interest anyways. if you actually did play it, you would go past the title screen and start playing.

>nah you literally had no interest anyways. if you actually did play it
I bought the damn thing on PS3, Vita and PS4 dude, it's over, I'm done with it, I will not touch it ever again, call me when DOA6 gets annouced.

buying it doesn't mean jack shit nowadays. I didn't even buy the goddamn game and I still play the free to play version.

>There's actually a faggot in this thread trying to blame DOAs perceived image on Itagaki leaving

Linking Park yourself you autistic man child.

>Kasumi game

???????????

3 and 4 weren't that great IMO, but 5 made it good again

But DOA5 is the best the series has ever been from a mechanical point of view.

his masturbation session to Kasumi.
