Yeah true, I was thinking of ways to make it less xtreme-ish
Its hard not to make it sound like DOAX when you mentioned volleyball and tug-o-war which are DOAX anyways. I like to think DOA6 would be better received for having more content if they somehow added in the DOAX minigames as side content (minus the actual vacation mode and dating sim elements so all the girls can be in).
I honestly don't see why they didn't just add in at least the volleyball and jet ski racing as basic side games as early as DOA5 ultimate since at the time they released that, TN had no real plans on continuing DOAX. Why waste reseources with a side game series that would just draw controversy when they could have just taken the existing minigames as extra content?
I would have paid for those minigames if they sold it as DLC for ultimate or last round. I wish they just did that for DOA6 instead of supporting DOAX3 and VV.
