DOA6 interviews

[Macca Beam]

I thought about it, there's no way people wouldn't find it curious that a wrist carving title like Dead Or Alive was associated with a volleyball gravure sim and promptly look up the origin of it. I'm 99% confident "that volleyball game?" people are just memeing because I would do that too

Also despite its presentation Arcana Heart is the one series I've seen the least waifuautism around, bizarrely. I'm not seeing shit like I WANT CHUNNERS TO SIT AND FART ON MY FACE or /a/ level wankery like with Arcsys games here. I don't want it to ever get less unpopular.

Oh and that someone in KoF is this. She needs to be brought back tbhfam

Not one thing looks right on this screenshot... not even the layout of the buttons. 2nd chapter!? Why not just 'Chapter 2?' That written description of the mission is just icky.

 

[Macca Beam]

the button guide is where button guides normally are and the controls are relevant to the elements right above. they're fine.
2nd chapter over chapter 2 is just for flavor, and they emphasized the number anyway

the most questionable thing here is STORY STORY STORY

 

[deathofaninja]

the button guide is exactly where button guides normally are. they're fine. and it helps that your eyes are already hovering around that region since all the other texts were also there

the most questionable thing here is STORY STORY STORY

Maybe in Final Fantasy VII that's whatever... and the flavor is bad.

I have no problem with story, again... it's the 2 hour part I don't like.

 

[Macca Beam]

no i didn't mean that story
how come "2nd chapter" caught your attention but the story header having a threesome up there didn't?

 

[deathofaninja]

The whole screenshot made me cringe. I think DOA6 needs a few more weeks of delay to polish things like that, but it will likely not happen.

 

[SaihateDYNAMO]

Wait, how does she know Eliot?

She's been browsing DeviantArt

The whole screenshot made me cringe. I think DOA6 needs a few more weeks of delay to polish things like that, but it will likely not happen.

let me explain. the [number] Chapter format places the number at the leftmost, meaning it won't be sitting inside the character portrait. if it were, a character with a whiter jacket would make it invisible. it's certainly a more sensible design choice than whatever's going on at the top left corner, and 2nd chapter isn't grammatically or contextually wrong

i was gonna say meme angular UIs like that timeline are extremely painful to navigate, but the "change display" function probably takes care of that

 

[Baji Breakdancer]

If I'm not mistaken, a recent interview/preview mentioned that the story mode had a 3D view you could expand and navigate, or alternately keep everything in a 2D view. The above screenshot here is probably just from a 3D angle.

 

[Raansu]

That's some serious nitpicking lol.

 

[Project Bokuho]

That's some serious nitpicking lol.

Kokoro fans lowkey becoming the next Zafina/Momiji fans?

 

[Brute]

That's some serious nitpicking lol.

It's really not. There are people who go into work to do this stuff and get a paycheck for it, just as there are for people who handle every other aspect of the game. Some graphical/visual design artists do fantastic work. Some don't. This is a case of the latter, and criticizing it is perfectly fair game.

It really is. Its just a chapter select screen. You'll look at it all of 30 seconds while selecting a chapter.

 

[Jackie Chan Fan]

That shortcut L3 + up is awkward to do as both are on the left side of the controller. It requires a little effort for a shortcut. Paradox? lol

"I don't care about the confused U.I"
"I don't care about the fucked up lighting"
"I don't care about the anatomically fucked up models"
"I don't care about Raidou"

I could replace half the roster with monster trucks and you wouldn't give a shit, but your insouciance doesn't relegate all criticism you don't care about to nit-picking.

From what I can see this UI seems perfectly fine in terms of element placement and sizing as well as font sizes, weights and contrast. The only actual issue raised so far is the triple up on “Story” however having the low opacity version to highlight the current menu item seems fine, but you shouldn't name your sub-menu like your main menu. So I guess it should be Story -> Main Story. This, however, strikes me as minor. I'd also change the text alignment of the mission description.

That the mission text is “icky” is not a UI/UX issue.

 

[werewolfgold]

You can't tell me that isn't some absolutely ridiculous double standard compared to how people love tossing around that Marie Rose and NiCO is pedobait by comparison even from outside DOA(and that's not even mentioning other characters from other fighting games that was around a similar age like Sakura and Karin in the SFA series, Cham-Cham and Rimururu in Samurai Showdown, I know there was someone in KOF, etc.

I don't disagree that there's some shady perceptions going on here. But, TN took great pains to make their game be seen a certain way. Commercials, magazine ads... I remember even now articles about DOA3 that just had Kasumi and Ayane models in bikinis throughout. The magazines have to get those assets from somewhere. There is a real scenario where it didn't have to get this bad. The DOA5 DLC certainly didn't help either. And it seems like even in DOA6, the women get 5 outfits and the men get 2. So, they're still kind of leaning into it.

I do remember those Lost Souls costumes, but I don't think anyone actually played LS in any real numbers so SC gets away with it again. lol

The UI is fine. I don't get whats so confusing about it.

To each their own. It looks fine on both my tv and monitor, but I also keep the brightness low on both so bright stuff doesn't look bright to me.

I don't care. Its just a belly button and its a weird thing to complain about in a game where you spend 99% of the time fighting.

That entire argument about Raidou was dumb. If Hitomi got cut, sure I'd be disappointed, but I wouldn't blast fans of other characters just because I may or may not like a certain character. I hate fighting Lisa and poked fun at people about her maybe not making the cut, but I'd never mock them for the character being "lame" or whatever reasoning people had that a character should not be in a game.

Also this entire line "IIItttt's JUSZT A gAem thAO Y duz N-E ov iT eVUn reAaollly MAttEr?" was completely childish and unnecessary. I expect more from someone who's supposed to be a moderator.

Using obviously hyperbolic satire as a rhetorical device is not inherently childish.
