Honestly, no one would take DOA serious regardless because revealing woman & breast jiggle is considered a shameful thing to have in videogames, while MKX is packed amount of content and gameplay that is pick up and play.
On a serious note, do you remember what DOA5LR release was like? Even I wouldn't completely consider DOA5LR as Fighting Game of the Year if I was in their position.
@Kasumi-Phase-X My friends are the same way, they didnt like the sexy girls and revealing costumes in DOA5LR. :P
While DOA has a more in depth gameplay compared to MKX, In my most honorable opinion.
@VAND1TA DOA5LR was a game I was originally super hype for especially when they brought back DOA1 Danger Zone/Kasumi's Stage (Sega version) and even brought back Raidou. But it really sucked for Me that I had to get Next Gen to get the full content on what was promised.
All it matters than some Game of the Year Award is having a game you enjoy the most.
DOA5LR is a much better game than MKX, but it is a rerelease whereas MKX is the vanilla release. Also according to American ideology, Brutal Violence is better than Big Boobs.
According to most people, Violence is more liked. xD
