This is why you dont fucking rush a game ...
- shitty menu pauses, glitches ..and no fucking language save .. SERIOUSLY !?
- shitty online despite the promises ... No rank filter or decline option to get rid of laggy fights ...
- the most half assed survival compared to one of the most fun modes in the previous titles ...where are my fucking fruit and veggies and gold !?!!
- no tag mode survival... seriously probably the most fun mode ever made..
- no team battle .. I dont care if no1 used it ... back home we did all the time and it was a blast ...
- no offensive tagging ... (why this was removed I have no fucking idea)
- very limited entry and exit animations and quotes. I know this is not part of anything in the game, but it was these little things that brought the game to life ...
- dont get me started on the soundtrack ... (no character theme options)
- now this BS ..
I am aware that they are trying to make some sort of a serious fighter and remove all the bad elements .. but lets look back a little ..
- even with the lobbies and the avatars .. I still think DOA4's netcode was far superior. we used to be able to play the people in the states no problem. and it was a 7 YEAR OLD FUCKING CODE!! how can you fuck something like that up !? now there are even problems Locally !
- you cant claim you're being serious as an excuse to remove all these side modes when you're showing tits and ass all over the place .. that doesn't fucking make sense. If you want keep it entertaining visually you need to keep it entertaining interactively as well. being forced into shitty survival mode hell just for a skimpy swim suit is NOT fighting entertainment.
- I am aware that little things like this can be missed, but really this is what happens when you shove things in a game at such little time. and alot of us are aware at how especially the last few characters were rushed in .. not to mention that this also lead to the loss of some fan favorites (namely ein and leon... I wouldnt call tengu a fan favorite but i am sure there are a few people out there that are pissed that hes gone too .. Raidou would have been nice for nostalgia's sake .. )
----------------------
Here are my suggestions:
- IF possible (however I'm almost sure its not because it is integrated in the game design) FIX THE DAMN NET CODE.
- PATCH THIS BS
- It sucks that the company heads just want to get the money in milk the next project ...But I would like to see more suppoor for this game through Good DLC.. namely Tag mode survival and Team battle.
- Fix the fucking ranked mode with a decline option and show Ping
- This may not ever happen but giving back those left out characters would be great ... and team ninja should fucking understand ... EIN is NOT fucking HITOMI .. and most certainly LEON AND BAYMAN ARE NOT THE FUCKING SAME, neither in move properties, movie animations or anything apart from a few signature moves.
- This is entirely optional but would serve a nice little gap filler for any new comer fans...
If they were to add the characters ...
Make an Prologue story mode ...3 short chapters (3-4 fights in each) ... use the same fucking old voices and quotes even .. no1 will complain ...
Theres a big empty space in the story tree on the bottom left side .. and they can easily fill this in ...
1- DOA1 maybe with Ayane and leading to Raidou ...
2- Project Epsilon with Ein, leading to Tengu in the end and Hayate regaining memory
3- "The strongest man in the world" ... start it off with Leon in the same battlefield even and have him holding Roland as if shes was dead as a result of a past battle.. if anyone recalls the cutscene, there were gunshots in the back when she said her famous quote, and make the ending that he simply walks away ... whatever. USE THE SAME DAMN OLD VOICES AND QUOTES,for nostalgia's sake. Hell, blame the old war on a Donovan experiment and you have instant integration if their excuse was that he was out of the story loop ..
I would hate if this game were just milked with costumes only ...seriously ...
---------------------------
I am not denying that this is arguably the best and most solid DOA gameplay wise ...they have done a great job in assuring this ...
but, you can't just throw that in as an excuse every time someone complains about your game being not on par with the previous titles in some other elements that may seem minor to some, but really brought the game to life...90% of this could have been easily implemented ...
If they fucking copy pasted Gen Fu the way they did they could easily have done that with the rest as well ...
Chances of anything outside of costumes ever happening is as close to 0 as hover boards ever becoming a reality ...Especially with the shitty management I keep hearing from the Tecmo Koei heads in japan ..
But...
yeah ...
End of rant.
Glad to see you finally got the game. I'm still mad they didn't give you a free copy. I'll go line by line with everything you said.
-They gotta fix that no excuses.
-Yeah whoever made that netcode needs to be shot. I thought it was my connection, but it wasn't. How did I know this? I took out my DOA 5 disc and put in P4A and had a lag free match.
- I haven't tried it yet.
-Why did they do that?
-It was fun to play it online.
-What?
- I think we could use a few more.
-I like the ost, but some character themes would be nice.
- You can tech it...
-They must have been too busy adding those rare costumes in to work on that.
-That is a sign that TN hasn't mature. Please tell me what is mature with Lisa in swimsuit that makes her look like a stripper? Or how Zack's stupid clown suit? TN hasn't shown how immature and perverted they really are. It's fucking said they lied to us, just show they could cover their boners.
- Sigh.....I don't care about Ein and Leon. Ein-He just Hayate who knows karate. You can't keep stretching that story line. He wasn't an hitmoi clone, but he was a vanilla Hitmoi that a lot people who wanted an easy character that didn't take much work to be solid with. Leon-Not a bad character gameplay wise. He wasn't a Bayman clone, but when you had little to do with the story. You're kind of useless.
Also....their a rumor they are coming out with another costume pack in Oct.
