DOA5 single player/casual thread

[Matt Ponton]

Yeah, it is...

I remember the smash community complaining about the good reviews of brawl. The problem is that many competitive games take time to really break down what makes them good, bad, viable, unviable. Something that really can't be done in the first 2 hours of game play.

That's why they generally look towards unlockables and alternate/side games within the game to see what could keep a casual's time. Tekken does this by throwing frilly add-ons that are hardly good on their own and are just there to provide alternate content.

I don't think you can put Smash in that same category. Competitive Smash is absolutely nothing like non-competitive Smash. I don't blame reviewers for saying Smash was a solid game when the competitive community disagrees.

 

[Matt Ponton]

I agree, and it also had a ton of side stuff for the 'singleplayer/casual' stuff like this thread is talking about.

Fighting games are just a weird item for reviewers period.

People who are not well versed in video games should not be reviewing video games.

Imagine if I got on ESPN and started commentating football. What the fuck would that look like?

You staring at Leeann Tweeden's boobs every 30 seconds.

And that's just college football...

I'm not really into older women Awesmic. Older women are just like younger women, of course -- they both assume you can be controlled. It's just that older women have the age superiority complex on top of that, which makes things way worse for a lot of them.

I'm also not into women who have breasts that happen to be of equal or greater size than their head. Once again, just personal preference.

It would be Cool If we could take pictures during offline game play like in ssbb...errr Maybe not things could get weird :/

 

[Rikuto]

Wasn't there a feature specifically for that?

I know there was a snapshot archive for Watch mode.

How could it get weird? o_o

 

[KwonJigglypuff]

Well, there would be a lot of panties screenshots, like in SSBB with Peach's panties. But yeah, that would be cool to have a photo album with epic moves !

In DOA4 you could only take pictures during watch mode, it would be better imo to take a picture of an actual match

You guys realize you're asking for a bunch of stuff that will definitely not be in the game right¿

Anyway, dropping my two cents:
- Story Mode a-la MK9 where every character is playable.
- No unlockable characters and if there are, give us a chance to get them through VS. or Online.
- A Quest Mode like in VF5 Vanilla would be very cool.
- Survival, Tag, Team Battle, Time Attack must be in the game with online leaderboards for each.
- Challenge Mode like in VF5FS.
- Probably adding the Dreamcast or Arcade versions of DOA2 as an unlockable "mini"game would be cool. It worked in Panzer Dragoon Orta so I don't see any reason why it shouldn't here.
- The option to unlock and watch CGI movies like the DOA3 and 4 endings.

Granted. But pipe dreams make you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

 

[PhoenixVFIRE]

I honestly think we won't get CG movies this time around for some reason :/

 

[TRI Mike]

Team Ninja won't miss an opportunity to make us watch Busa cut metallic bodies with a sword again.

Honestly?
With those graphics? I have no complaints.

If story mode is anything as epic as the MK9 storymode, then ots gonna be amazing!
I sure hope they go down that path.

 

[MasterHavik]

I hope they follow up what happen in Helena's ending.

 

[EMPEROR_COW]

I hope they follow up what happen in Helena's ending.

She got saved by Zack and they had little alien Zack babies with snorkles that light up ..

Whats to know ?

 

[MasterHavik]

Two things...

1. Almost everyone wants her dead.

2/ Almsot everyoe nwants Zack dead for savign her.

I hardly believe they will just forget that Zack kind of screwed the pooch with Helena dying. So yeah I expect some development.
