People say "Well it sounds like you want the series to get forced to like their views". Answer is no. It's to escape the situation of going absolutely nowhere. The content will always be there (sexual content, Innuendos etc.) Issue is that the game is getting promoted "Heavily" rather than -equally- in a factor that's not taking seriously "from" that content. You have zero rights to blame people for that.

@Kasumi-Phase-X - There is a difference between being sane or being the sheep. You cannot take information of adjusted outcomes out of EventHubs when they are no different than Gamefaqs. Wrong locations at the wrong time there.

NiOh technically speaking could be considered the second IP behind Ninja Gaiden and look how extremely well that game did for an action game selling over 1.2 million copies. Every fighting game company by far has a second IP (even a damn 3rd) to keep things fresh and ways to innovate the wheel. We can't constantly absorb what's being thrown at you. People only do it because it's the only game they damn play.

Nioh's an Action RPG...

Still an **Action game** with RPG elements with a Diablo loot system. The developers stated that in their interviews and got elements from Ninja Gaiden itself and direction path similar to Dark Souls. That is no different from a company making a 2D fighter suddenly making a 3D fighter.

Actually theres one difference between between a proper action game and an Action RPG...

GRINDING !!!

And yet that still provides hardly any relevant answers to the topic at hand here lol?

On topic. Don't want the DOA series to end. Dear no. DOA5 series is pretty old so probably next year. If they make a second fighter just to have then that's also an excellent decision and I'd think it would be hilariously weird for people to fight against it rather than support it. Having two games by them can be a good thing rather than a bad one unless both games ended up being garbage.

Maybe this one can make EVO almost every year. Maybe this one escapes the world of harsh criticisms that TN gets almost every year or the label it's left upon when it comes to fighting games in general in regards to........... "content". -Insert Monocle here-.

Sorry.... I just really hate Grinding.

@DestructionBomb I wouldn't compare casual & competitive complain about, mechanics is something I don't hear about. Aesthetic is a good point for "public execution of good fighting games" topic. Even if I started off with promoting gameplay & game modes, but after release (which gameplay had serve its purpose/unless it needs an update) promote new sexy DLC content & characters would it still be heavy?

Coming from someone who see people that tend to have problems with sex appeal in general even if it doesn't involve DOA like fan art, cosplay, or other stuff (like some of SF artwork with bikini girls & SNK Heroines), and do understand that not everyone is going to like what you like. I do think people who don't take game serious due to its content are not worth caring.

I would prioritize on supporting games with sex appeal and want these games to be worth playing, wear it like armor.

That's still defeating the purpose in itself. For that case you are going right back to square one by absorbing what TN is giving you because it's a marketing tactic. Prioritizing one thing over "equally" prioritizing would make that individual no different than a sheep indoctrinating others to endure something that isn't necessary but keeping the player base back.

Gameplay hasn't truly served it's purpose. It was overshadowed. What people seem to forget is that at the end of the day, DOA in itself is a "fighting game", so it becomes a massive contradiction when you have others trying to show others that the game is fun and deep but there is a stepping stone that does nothing but become endless and going in circles.

DOAX series on the other hand makes huge logical sense, and if I was to play that game I'd promote the sex appeal non-stop because who doesn't like sexy females? (technically that's what the game is about so who would stop that?). It's just the case of whether or not people become the sheep because it suits them due to not playing anything else.

And since you brought up SNK heroines, SNK is fine at making the game no problem because they have their main titled series as a huge backup even if it flops or doesn't flop (sounds like something TN could do). Don't take away the sex appeal in DOA. Promote the gameplay more to that of equal proportions or just have a strong backup game.

What else your suppose to do with promote Gameplay (which doesn't involve adding new mechanics for pre-existing game like DOA5 & SF series and patches which there usually isn't videos about it) which is something you show when the game is new and had showed everything it has to offer?

Its just whenever there is bikinis, sexy females, or cheerleader outfit people would call them porn (even though, porn is more extreme than what 17+ games has to offer) even if other games did something like DOA did (in order to make a profit) like having content dismiss it as a genre. People will be prudish, but I would rather win people who love sex appeal and appreciate the game regardless of its content for DOA6.

I would want sex appeal to be the identity of games along side of violence.
