Elaborating then since I thought that was pretty self-explanatory enough if one was fairly observant enough to common trends. I don't want to write a novel on this so gonna keep this relatively short and condensed as possible.
Japan/East = One of the leading characters with fan art since her...
I don't know both? East definitely no question and a good portion of the silent West that have guilty pleasures. Think about the main demographic that would play DoA that wouldn't give two fucks about balance change logs.
Honoka will by default be loved solely by her aesthetic direction. Big tit school girls with a cow motif is still popular these days whether you want to admit this or not. Don't think that was being argued or at least I'm not arguing this. Mimic character archetypes always had limited appeal...
Define "done much better"? I say she is currently doing quite fine popularity wise for a character introduced fairly recently that can stand in the same spotlight as Kasumi the series main protagonist. If anything her age presentation is part of the appeal one could argue.
I agree on the Honoka...
Since Honoka is being brought up again here, I don't hate her design despite how relatively generic it is. Generic isn't always a bad thing; you don't need to reinvent the wheel to generate appeal. I would go as far and say a good portion of the roster was already generic designs from my...
'Merica likes the rugged males that look like Navy Seals and Japan prefers the cute girls/bishe characters so nothing new was learned here. It was no great secret why they give more special attention to the ladies. Nice to know there is still talk for more expansion besides costumes.
Any idea who is gonna be protagonist for this? Seems to be either Kazuya, Heihachi, Jin, or Lars. Really hope Jin doesn't come back as the central character again especially with how he turned out in T6.
Yes the game has online play. The previous game Shinovi Versus which was Vita exclusive had four player versus lobbies. Estival Versus was already confirmed to have online versus lobbies with Vita again allowing four players while the PS4 version will have eight players. Not sure if there will...
When I wear a speedo for swimming that JUST covers my junk area that is enough to separate me from a swimmer to a flasher pervert. Nudity means you're in your birthday suit. TN pushed the boundary, but hasn't crossed this. If anything games like GTA pushed the boundary even more.
Overall this was better then I thought. Probably because I was pessimistic as hell and kept expectations low. Not all of these changes are just minor damage buffs.
TN is not insane enough to nerf Ein so this is good to see. They could have done more assuming this is final, but I can work with...
There are plenty of fetish themes [some would be more creative then others] they can still tackle fortunately or unfortunately depending on the type of DoA gamer you are.
