tonight it was a DOA filled game night, from DOA2 HardCore (PS2) to DOA2Ultimate (XBOX360), from DOA3 to DOA4 (XBOX360) and after a break, some DOA5/DOA5LR. At last i tried to play DOA6 after months of collecting digital dust in my XBOX One, but... one match and i got sick of it.
I wish pre-DOA5 games of the series had some cross-promotional content from other franchises like Ikkitousen or Rumble Roses. Like, dunno, Hakufu's school uniform for Hitomi, Ryofu's maid costume for Christie or Anesthesia costume for La Mariposa and a Dixie Clemets themed otufit for Tina. That could've been cool.
Somehow, I have 3 copies of Dead Or Alive 4; 2 standard copies & 1 Platinum Hits version. I also have 2 versions of the trial/demo version; 1 stand alone & 1 unlockable from a OXM disc. ...a japanese version would be welcome, too.
Now that i officially have played every numbered DOA game, i can safety order the series from most favorite to less; DOA4, DOA2/DOA2U, DOA3, DOA5/DOA5LR, DOA1/DOA1U, DOA6.
I did it. It took me an eternity, but i finally got DOA2U & a working copy of DOA3, thus completing the DOA collection in XBOX (and the playable DOAs in XBOX 360)
As i never did any fanart of my favorite DOA girl, here are 2 versions i did this monday of Tina in her 2nd costume from DOA4 (my fav. costume of my fav. game).
I just tried to became partners with Tina as Kasumi in DOAX2, but she said "no, we will be an horrible team".
My two main DOA girls don't get along TwT
2nd day this week i find someone else to play DOA4 online. The lag was worse than in tuesday, but i managed to win 2 over 7 loses XD
I wish there was a faster way to get zack dollars, i want the christmas themed lobby u_u
i'm at 2 characters' time attack runs (Helena and Hitomi) to complete the roster and unlock the ancient giant chicken in DOA4. Hope i don't have any issues with it after change the setting to only one round per match
Finally, i got 1 of the top figures on my hit list; Epoch's Dead Or Alive 2 Tina Armstrong action figure, the only articulated figure of the resident blonde wrestler of the DOA franchise. With this, i'm 1 step closer to get figures of all my fighting games' waifus.
My XBOX 360 fighting game collection. Not many games of this genre compared to the sony consoles (most of the japanese fighting games stayed in japan or were digital only) but there's a decent amount of exclusive/multiplatform games. Favorites? DOA4, SFIV, RRXX, SFXTK.
So... Tina & Helena is my favorite DOA team, but i'm still not sure of how call them. Golden Dynamite? Blonde & Dangerous? The Bliss-n-Beats Connection?
