What's wrong with a character having an appeal for the casual audience? I suffer from having mostly IRL friends not that much interested in FG and the few times I managed to play with them DOA5LR, Momiji was often among the fighters chosen repeatedly (but interestingly, Kasumi (default choice)...

Why increase the relative penalty for one wrong guess and put more emphasis on the waiting game for the leading side? While you're at it, why not reduce the number of rounds from 3 to 1 to win a match, to spice things up even more? (just a joke)

AFAIK no. The couple of times people rage-quitted on me I didn't gain points for the win and my win didn't show up in the statistics, that was all. It seems the effect depends on how the quitting is done. Only once, though, I could not leave the screen after the "declined a rematch" message...

Is this really a realistic scenario? I can only speak for myself, but I have never based my decision to play a game on the game's community, especially not up front. The community is something I only discover after I get hooked and start to invest more time in the game. For me, cheaters or rage...

I don't care about KOF and the reason I am not that thrilled (yet) about the Kula DLC is because I do not like her KOF optics. But that has nothing to do with her being a loli or not. I want interesting move sets and great looking characters with stunning animations. If a DLC gives me that, I'm...

Hi, name's Ray and I only play DOA since DOA5. I briefly flirted with fighting games when I was younger (SF2 on SNES, AoF NEOGEO, T6 on PSP etc.), but since it was quite difficult to find opponents during that internet stone age I never got very far and soon left for greener pastures. Being a...

That sounds like a very good and viable idea. I must admit I am annoyed myself when another bunch of DLC for Gran Turismo Sport or Rocksmith appears and clutters the new shop listings. Might be the same for people not interested in DOA. And since the store has separate listings for games and DLC...

I agree. I 've done another interpolation. In 2018 Dynasty Warriors 9 sold 4.4 times more physical copies than in 2019 DOA 6 did during the first week. After 2 months, DW9 had shipped 730.000 copies (https://www.dualshockers.com/dynasty-warriors-9-attack-titan-2-sales/). If the relation stays...

So you noticed the difference between "hundreds" and "some" yourself? Obviously, failing somewhere seems to be the norm, not the exception, as supported by your own observation. I have bought and played many games in my life, but nearly all of them have some shortcomings and bad issues, being...

I do not see it that clear-cut. The dose makes the poison. Multiple adjustments at regular intervals might overstrain the players with less time or less dedication, leading to additional unsureness and frustration for them - just because changes at the mechanics happened, no matter how...

Although I like the 3 costumes shown, I must see my buying of the season pass now as in fact being mostly a donation to the welfare of KT/TN. No way the amount of money I paid for it was needed for creating so few costumes... They should have lowered the price of such costume collections instead...

Don't you underestimate the complexity of the system? To see that something might be broken is one thing, but to fix it in a way that doesn't break something somewhere else is much more difficult. I see your point that the game's not finished yet. But frantically turning screws can do more ill...

Companies like Blizzard are renowned for balance patching even after many years of play (e.g. Starcraft) and they get praise for it. MMORPGs get balance patches constantly, too, in part because the game world/level cap etc. is evolving. Patching of game mechanics is becoming a habit like day one...

I think the FIFA licence alone already had cost more than making Hellblade in total. Marketing, licensing, motion-capturing catalogues, the amortisation of internal tools (like Frostbyte) over several products - that's a lot of money ignored, if looking only at pure development costs. Imagine...

I disagree. The linked video is more about the real "advantages" for the existence of micro-transactions than any proof of sinking production costs. I am pretty sure it's getting more expensive to make successful video games each year. Looking at the NPD sales data for 2018, for example, I only...

Maybe it's an odd analogy, but let me compare this to a racing game with different cars. Each car handles differently, some are more easy for beginners, others require a more delicate handling. As a player I expect the game to allow me to win whichever car I pick. If I knew there is a car with...

You serious? I am struggling already to play decently with my main! There are many more characters I'd like to play in the game than my main, but already I do not have enough spare time to learn those. Since I notice a significant drop in the quality of my play each time I pick a different...

I can agree with much that Sexy Momiji said. I think they made the unlocking process slow to hide the fact that there are so few outfits included yet. This way one is "entertained" and has an feeling of "achievement" while the DLCs with more outfits are in the making. It takes much longer this...

I play on PS4 and both disconnects were near the end of round 2. It really seemed to have happened willfully. Well, you may not see detailed statistics, but you can see the actual rank. And at least for getting one trophy ("win 5 times in a row online") the manipulation of a win streak might...

Now I've had two rage quitters as well (one rank E, one B-). Both disconnected shortly before the end of the second round, moments before I was to finish the second round in style. Seems they saw no chances to turn the game around (heh, if they'd known me better, they'd played on...). The bad...
