Tbh even though the models are amazing, I usually find myself pretty ehhh when it comes to MK games or Injustice 2. Their overall ambient is just too dark and gritty for me.
I kinda like Injustice 2 since I do like DC and I think they did a good job with going with that aesthetic even if it still doesn’t catch my eye 100%, but MK is just too much for me. Funny because, while I enjoy the gore on the series, the actual ambient of the game in terms of music and stages, and also the weird ass character designs that seem to borrow things from Asian culture and then merge those with North American culture is just not my cup of tea.
I do like DOA better even with the weird model bodies because even if it now has a more realistic style, it’s still anime-based, so I don’t find the weird bodies too bothering since I just see the game as an anime-styled game with a realistic filter on it lol. The ambience on the games are also beautiful. Even with 5 being the darkest one, the ambience on the game wasn’t even near to what MK and Injustice are. Compared to those, DOA is a colorful rainbow in the middle of dark and “edgy” ass fighters lmao.
