Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate General Discussion

2) Would that be so bad (considering that 3.1 is still the most competitive that the game has ever been)

If you want to play a 12 year old game, that's fine. Go play that game. I do from time-to-time.
But I kinda wanted a new game. An evolved one. Hence why I bought a new disk and all that stuff.

Divekick is a great game.

So is Half-Life. Doesn't mean I want DOA5 to be Half-Life.

The hell is Divekick?

damn how tall is Momiji anyway?

I know she's slightly crouching but Tina is 5'9. Momiji is an amazon ninja!

Naw she's the same height as tina because of her stance. Heck, Rachel is 5'11

Somebody's ready for the WNBA...lol

Odd considering Ryu is 5'10" and Momiji is a fair deal shorter than him in Ninja Gaiden.

We sure do change to some strange ass topics in this thread.

A game can't really be all that deep when its only competitive by way of people exploiting the terrible design.

This is easily the stupidest thing I've ever read on this forum.

I wanted a new, evolved game too. It's unfortunate that we got DOA5.

You act as if she can't have a life outside of fiend hunting -.- ....

Or these guys were busy as hell trying to get a game out and maybe needed to cut a few corners to have that happen. That's not likely at all.

New Topic: Kasumi doesn't have enough dimples.

Does anyone else REALLY not like the yellow health bars? Wish they'd go back to silver...

I don't much care for the yellow either, but DOA4's silver was pretty bad. I'd refer 2U's green and I'm also fine with the blue from DOA5/DOAD.

Blaze, consider this for a moment. Rachel's sister was killed by unwanted circumstances she had no control over. As a fiend hunter, she has to live with that for the rest of her life, and make sure that tragedy never happens to anyone else ever again. That said, it would be out of character for her to set herself up for falling prey to low-level "sex fiends" like the guy who got a "deep throat" by Christie. (inb4 tentacle fiend reference)

They bother me just a little bit.

I guess it just goes back to how I'm more comfortable with the "cool" color schemes of previous DOAs, and I really don't like the "warmer" colors used in 5.

Some height data must be outdated....

Actually... DOA3's lifebars were perfect.

 

[Awesmic]

By the numbers, yes. Aesthetically, no. While it hardly distracted from the in-game graphics, there's something to be said about the HUD's washed out look and lack of color when compared to DOA2 (pre-Ultimate) and even DOAD.

NOTE: I'm referring to amount of health when I said "by the numbers". Also, to those not in the know, the health bar colors are changeable.

Thank you. You got them to shut up.

How do you know that guy wasn't an agent or something? He probably was a demon or another hitman hired to kill. Why is that so hard to understand?

Also Rachel is officially my 3rd main.

IT'S COMPLETELY OUT OF CHARACTER FOR HER. Especially considering you have to start making up stuff that doesn't even fit in, just to make it work.

Dat DOA community logic.... It breaks my heart.

Rubbing it in with comments like this doesn't help matters, however.

DOA3 and DOA4 have their share of recurring "ending cinema extras" that have no connection to other series whatsoever. For example, the thugs Jann Lee and Leifang fought in DOA3 returned as tag-team cannon fodder in Lisa's ending for DOA4, but have no stronger connections to the series than just that. Likewise, in DOA4's ending for Leifang, the unfortunate clumsy guy in the train got in the same mess in DOA5, but also had no bigger a connection to the series outside that universe.

With this amount of consistency, it's safe to say the Rachel lookalike in Bayman and Christie's DOA4 ending is not Rachel, but as Grape suggested - I'm sorry to say - was most likely a prop as rushed as the last minute changes Itagaki made to the gameplay from the X05 build at the time.

Also Rachel is officially my 3rd main.

Looking forward to it.

Guy tells us to shut up about lifebar preferences when we'll be stuck with what we get for basically the whole game's life and then continues to talk about Rachel popping up in an insignificant DOA4 ending. My respect... starting to waver.
