nah. DOA4 is farly superior to DOA5 onwards (even if i gave some chance to DOA6 if TN polish A LOT of aspects from their rushed up released game). It could be better? sure thing, but calling DOA4 bad?... nope.
Casually, it was fun. Competitively, it was atrocious. If you want to argue that, we can, but I don't recall seeing you compete in it so there isn't much frame of reference for you to work with.
