I'm not liking how, when I go online, everyone treats it like Tekken (Just trying to spam bnb juggles, etc). Its sucking the fun out of it, i'm actually finding myself wanting to go back to DOA4, mainly because there was a lot more variety between fights with that game.
Am I the only one who hates how invites expire after not accepting them after a while?(PS3).
Thank heavens.

Yea that's exactly it... all I see is bnb's all over again, or newbies in simple match just doing what they can... which I can tolerate sometimes.
I don't mind a small amount of juggles but for example, when I see the same Flying Knee, Knee, Palm, Air Grab Into a wall(lets see if you can guess what character I mean), it gets old. But It's gunna be expected right? If you can get he highest damage, why not go for it. If you can do it everytime without dropping the combo? Even better. That's the mentality, and that may just be what it always has been. Heh.
For the first time, I feel like I've wasted my money on a DOA game... not because it's not a solid fighter, but because it's become... "solid fighter".
Personally I like Tekken, it's unique. But it's the same on SCV, you spam bnb's as soon as you get the launcher(stun). It's unfortunate that my biggest weakness right now is launching because that's where all the major damage comes from in this game, and others.

How do you feel about DOA5 A.I. Difficulty? I think its ok but sometimes it will become very shitty IMO.

Eww. Of all the sites to bring that up from, Fox News? Even Kotaku would have been preferable.
But yes, I know what they've claimed. And I call BS on it. I've followed these games since the very first one and outside of the occasional GameFAQs forum post I've yet to particularly see the playerbase at large ''demanding'' the ridiculous possessed-jelly breasts and other such nonsense. If anything I have seen far, far more support for the abolishment of such features. Of course, I've no idea what the community is like in Japan - perhaps there they are inundated with demands for more bikinis and creepy overly-sexualised defeat poses - but certainly in the EU scene and from what I've seen of the American and Canadian communities, there's really not all that much support for it. The most common reaction is a lack of interest, followed by a desire to see it all removed and ''demands'' for more are a very distant third.
I could at least respect it if TN were more honest and simply came out and said "hey, we're sexist and don't care if we're exclusionary, YAY TITTIES LOLOLOL". But the fact they're making these ridiculous claims, laying the blame at the feet of the fans, is really insulting.
Love the game, hate the marketing and attitude of the publishers/developers.

Shimbori's justification was actually pretty solid though.

I'm sayin...
Other Fighters have chicks with big tits in em... why can't we? Like... I just don't understand why It's become this "problem".
Is it effecting the kids?
Is it effecting the killing someone?
Is it that demeaning to women for a game... (mind you a fighting game, with a pretty big community behind it, most that are there because they love to compete at it)... to have girls with big tits in it?
Is it pornography?
I don't see the cause and effect here, I just see the "cause" is TN, which is doing this oh so horrible thing with it's representation of girls with big tits? What am I not seeing here?

I don't like them actually. I mean I would actually appreciate a couple of smaller girls with realistic proportions, thats just more attractive to me. Big breasts aren't my thing. They take away the focus from a womans other natural features... great skin, eyes, hairstyle, and the rest of her figure. Large breasts are just kinda standing in front of everything (literally) and saying HEY LOOK BREASTS.
But feedback is feedback. If I got overruled by the vast majority and he decided to go with the majority, I can't exactly fault him. They are running a business.

When I was a kid, I had a babysitter named Christie... she was stacked. She became my ideal woman.
9 years later, I played a video game character named Christie... she was similarly stacked. She became my main.
Talk about cause and effect.
My main IS an assassin, after all. Were she real, my virginity would already be dead.
Only if they have no empowerment or badassery to show for it... which most do.
We have actual ero games for that. And compared to the Sexy Beach series, DOAX is pretty much Animal Crossing. In fact, I wouldn't have played the game very much if I didn't have the Animal Crossing mindset.
Sticky web is sticky. Don't get caught in a web of deception.
For the truth is that there is no horror. There is only beauty.
It's off-putting that women (and all of them) have to be reduced to sexual objects. Now, I don't mind a relatively idealized body, but a lot of fighting games take it too far (I would not lay the issue only at DOA's feet) and it is simply gross for those who are not attracted to them. If it isn't appealing, you can survive it, but survive is the right term. It is at the level of (very) softcore pornography at this point. And that's not cool.
Honestly, I'd have a hard time selling this kind of game to another gay guy. I really would, not only because there is a stereotype in place about the larger fighting game community but because many of those stereotypes have proven true. I'm quite sure many women would find the same experience having to deal with it. And it's because fighting games can pander so hard to its straight cross-section to the point where it is not appealing in the first place, it's easier for the community in term to project a lot of bigotry.
Now, that isn't why DOA isn't taken seriously amongst the general fighting community. The general fighting community has all of these traits. But it certainly doesn't help to feed the loop.
This is amazing!
