I agree, ridiculous right?

I also don't think they realize how difficult it is to develop a fighting game in this day and age. DOA is so much more stable on a technical standpoint than other current FGs, it's insane. Maybe one day people will wake up, maybe.

Yes, times 10! I like the fact how solid the rock ,paper, sissors system is, its the best part of this game!
I guess those people want to buy more dlc hahaha xD

Preach

Some people just got bored of DOA5 as a whole. I mean, think about it. It took them four plus re-do's of the same game just to get things done right. Some people felt cheated about the fact that they have to pay more money for content/characters that should have already been in DOA5 Vanilla for instance. This pretty much why some lost interest.

DOA 5 is definetly an excellent game. But is lacking one key feature that i need to enjoy it more, a good netcode. Sadly there is no fighting game scene where i live, and my enjoyment of FG's is purely online, and while i have one "playable match" every other week, i want more.

And since improvements on netcode aren't happening on DOA5LR, i am welcome to a DOA 6, (and also to tone down the costume selection and to give the game a really good story mode and maybe new characters).

(continuing from my last comment) Not to mention, there are cases when TN took shortcuts and decide to remove the expansions of a few stages (Lorelei, Crimson, etc) and put them in the game incomplete.

But I do hope things change in the future so TN doesn't repeat these mistakes again because of those Koei scrubs bossing them around

There are flaws to the game, don't get me wrong. What I mean is that in comparison, DOA5 (in its entirety) is far more serviceable and open-ended than current FGs.

This also has nothing to do with online play, because ultimately, no FG has perfect online functionality, and they never will.
