Looks like Miary Zo releases today for T8. I had a DOA video planned to up DOA's algorithm, but the timeline is gonna be flooded with the new character on Twitter so I'll probably delay it for now.

Will admit, i'm probably one of the few that isn't a huge fan of the DOA5 soundtracks nor the DOA6 ones in terms of stage music. Think the only soundtracks I liked in DOA6 was the training stage music, and Unforgettable ahaha.

Terms of DOA music itself, I only really liked the character themes.

I liked DOA6's music in general a bit more than DOA5's... but yeah, I prefer the OSTs from the older games still. Overall I wish I loved the music for DOA and the 3D NGs as much as I love the music for some other game series (like Castlevania, KOF, Mega Man, F-Zero, Ys, classic NG, etc). Among all my favourite game series only those two stand out for not having at least 5 tracks that have fried my braincells, lol.

Yeah I know the drill. Its my fault for not only being the healer in an mmorpg party but also my fault for not buying sloppy seconds.

Depends on the remake or remaster. If companies can't come up with a good sequel or new IP, then remake the old stuff as a learning lesson to what they need to do as a blueprint. Sometimes you have to step backwards and retrace the steps on where they made said-fuck ups in the first place.

Dispatch and FF7 Rebirth be like "uh oh, looks like you've found yourself in a love triangle with a traditionally feminine beauty and a rough n' tumble but still cute tomboy, which one of these girls do want to be in a virtual relationship with???"

And im like "naw, im good, I just wanna hang out with my bros Barret and Chase"

funnily enough Barret and Chase coincidentally fill the role of being the single black representative on their respective teams, guess I have a type that i gravitate to lol

Well, for the USers in FSD, but for Cakucks it was last month, lol. Although several countries celebrate their own version of it, they all have different dates.

But yeah, have a great Turkey Day Awesmic and the rest of you in the US. :D Get yourselves some sweet potato casserole (I've made it a few times now.. great stuff!)

When people say DOA is an anime game, what do they mean by that?

That said, I don't think it's right to apply the label of anime to some Japanese games and not others. It shouldn't be a label at all for games, imo, unless a game is literally based on an anime series. Games arent anime. In Japan, you could say some games contain anime (animations, like cut scenes), but it's not a style.

@inochinagi In other words, Japanese games are, not a style of anime, but an influence by and from anime. DOA is technically in the category. Art-wise, there are anime influence prior to 5, following a "realistic" look that Street Fighter did in 1-2 and 6 (Alpha/Zero, 3, EX and 5 have anime looks, though 4 was more calligraphy with cartoonish exaggerations).

DOA being anime is not inherently a bad thing either, because without the exaggeration of it's fantasy then it wouldn't be DOA. It all stems to fantasy one way or another.

The moment a ninja teleports, I already know that's anime-as-heck. It just happens to be an anime with a realistic look that has the anime power fantasy. Heck Jann Lee kicked a dinosaur, that's pretty anime/fantasy to me lol.

DOA series turned 29 today. Next year is the big 30.

Btw, still astounds me how I can get DOA++ emulation to work so well but I can't with the original DOA, lol (it works, but its slower and has choppy sound). If emulation experts can't get the original DOA to run well and KT/TN won't or can't rerelease the original game in some form then I fear outside of getting a DOA arcade machine (for as long as they're able to last) they'll never be preserved properly.

@inochinagi I got the original DOA running. You need to find and download the Model 2 emulator.

and it runs well? Thanks, I'll look into that then.

edit: looks like Ive tried it a while back but I couldnt get it to boot up even, maybe had the wrong DOA1 romset or lacked the right bios

edit 2: just found the right romset :D it works now

DOA4 was the boldest in terms of design, DOA5 was the best competitively, DOA6 lost its identity trying to please everyone (and making Nico, Honoka, and Marie Rose story driven characters. IMO they made story mode so unserious).

Something to be said for DOA 3 though. Simplified movelists and controls with extremely fast movement speed and large stages. It was unintendedly good once you understood how it was played, particularly with 3.1/3.2. And nothing in the series has really come close to its dark tone and palette, with perhaps the original DOA 2 being a runner up.

I've always thought that 3.1/3.2 was considered the best competitively.
DOA4 was the most ambitious presentation-wise and gameplay-wise, or boldest like you said.
DOA5 was the most successful in terms of pleasing everyone (competitively and otherwise).
DOA6 was the worst in terms of pleasing anyone.

still mind blown how MK1 just fizzled out on such a weak note, and I think it's a much better game than it's predecessor MK11, but popular opinion seems to think otherwise :/
