It's pretty sad that people on twitter still think that the shitty petition that one dude made is going to do anything.
To anyone believing they acted on the backlash they got
My thoughts exactly.I'm honestly glad I found this site cause all that bs made me think "so wow no one really cares about doa do they" but it's opposite here so that's cool. I just never understood how doa literally gives people a strictly fan service game along with its fighter and people bitch about the fighter trying to be a fighter
1) bad translation. this is the same community that believed the text about the series coming back to arcades after 13 years was referring to a character's age because some smoothbrain who could only read the number 13 said soI wonder why they try to keep saying they are getting rid of the fanservice only to turn around and jam pack the games with it. Do you guys think it's mistranslation, or are they trying to make the SJW journalists shut up by lying to them?
took you that long? i had to fuck off shortly after LR/X3 when the waifuautism got way off the charts.and this was the first time I've actually been embarrassed to be part of the DoA community
I agree, love it here too.I'm honestly glad I found this site cause all that bs made me think "so wow no one really cares about doa do they" but it's opposite here so that's cool.

And here's Marie's Deluxe costume! I like it tbh, it's cute and fitting

How do you guys feel about the complete 180 TN has seemingly pulled again with DOA6? Just like with DOA5, they originally made it sound like they were neutering the fanservice in the game. The latest footage and bonus costumes finally prove that's not the case. You can see that the sexy lose poses are still in with full viewing glory. Honoka's boobs still bounce like they are ready to blast off into space. And those newly revealed outfits for Ayane, Marie, and Honoka are pretty sexy.
I wonder why they try to keep saying they are getting rid of the fanservice only to turn around and jam pack the games with it. Do you guys think it's mistranslation, or are they trying to make the SJW journalists shut up by lying to them?
Also, I think it's funny because there were a lot of people who seemingly are afraid of boobs and sexiness who were cheering TN on and berating all us fanservice fans when that stupid article came out. "Finally, maybe all the perverts will leave now and find another game to play." Well, sorry, but we're still here and DOA is still our game. Thank you, TN.
These incels hating on the game because of "censorship" or whatever lack proper reading comprehension especially considering the fact that it was stated multiple times that the sexiness wasn't going anywhere. You just jumped the gun. Plus, literally nobody was "berating" anyone who liked the fanservice, and IF they were it's because you people don't know how to not act entitled when things don't go your way.
It might just be me, but why exactly are people getting mad at less fanservice in a FIGHTING game anyways? If the game in question was DOAX it would make sense considering fanservice is the #1 priority of that game but I seriously don't get why people weren't going to buy DOA6 and support TN because of this SJW boogeyman. The gameplay's still gonna be good, and isn't that the mainpoint of the game? Dead or Alive's core gameplay without the excessive fanservice is still Dead or Alive, it's not like they're using their tits in the fighting! People like you sound so entitled and don't deserve DOA6 at all...
Just to piggy back off this real quick. Its been 6 years since I first started playing DOA and the things people are saying now are the same things they said back then for 5. Every aspect, from the characters and their names to the gameplay, was bad. This was when DOA5 released. How was it possible for a series that has 5+ games failed at every aspect of being a game. I knew nothing about DOA at the time but something was definitely off. Turns out I was looking at the FGC, or specifically the people who don't play DOA, reviewing the game.Also, hardly anyone said that they want some sexy with their fighting… the way more common point was that DoA is trash on any level, especially the fighting and the only reason anyone would possibly buy these games is the fanservice.

Not liking a game is fine and games do have faults but every community I have been in have all been echo chambers. It is especially bad for 3D fighters. I remember on a Tekken forum someone mentioned Tekken should have a tutorial like DOA5U and the people there went ballistic saying things like Tekken doesn't need it and the person who said it was just a DOA fan trying to promote the game and all the usual DOA insults. All over a tutorial system. I grew up with SC and never ventured out of it until 2012 so I was blinded by the community until I started to play DOA and the SC people are also the same as the Tekken people.
Just look at the SC6 vs DOA6 people love to do right now. SC6 and its character models are visually 50 times better than DOA6 because DOA6 is the same as DOA5 in terms of graphics and character models. No improvements were made. Then you have a pro SC player say that DOA6 feels the same as DOA5. The moment that person said that all credibility was lost. A person does not need to like a game to notice these things. You don't even need to compare SC to DOA to show how false the claims are. Just compare one image of DOA5 to DOA6. Read one paragraph detailing the mechanics between 5 and 6 and the differences should be obvious. Its just blind hate.
I mainly play GG, BB, Uniest, BBTAG, SC, and DOA but also played Tekken and KOF a bit. One thing that should be obvious is that FGCs are usually hypocrites and will stick to their games no matter what. Your game is bad since it did that one thing. My game did the same but its fine because reasons.
Besides that you have to remember that regardless of what DOA6 does, every little thing will be bad to those who don't play it. Those little things will be even worse if they play another fighting game. If you want real discussion about a game go to its respective community even if it may be an echo chamber. At least the info you get for your game of interest is reliable.
That is why this is now the only community I come to and why the SC community lost all credibility. Even the anime fighting games aren't as bad as the 3D ones. The BB vs GG is dumb and it was a shocker when I got into both those games in 2015. I mean cmon, BB is too anime while GG is not? No one looks at GG or BB and not think anime. An anime fighter, GG, is literally calling another anime fighter, BB, an anime game similar to how SF would call GG an anime game. That is like saying Bleach is more anime than Attack on Titan. As dumb as that may sound it is nothing compared to the DOA vs SC and Tekken.I think the biggest kicker of this community compared to other FGC's is just simply how DoA players are much more accepting of other fighting games. We have several top doa players over the years from multiple iterations of DoA go on and be top tier players in other fighting games. I can't recall a single player come from other fighters and do that with DoA because of some weird stigma that doesn't even make sense considering the games they play are far more fan service than DoA.
What it comes down to is that people should've waited a little more to see what was getting toned down as opposed to throwing a fit that anything was getting toned down at all. But people ended up showing their asses on that front.Not buying a game is the only thing people can do if companies are making decisions that people don't like. What would you do if there is a brand you enjoy makes certain decisions that you don't like (like toned down content, dumbed down gameplay, maybe microtransaction) are you going to buy a game regardless of them making decisions you don't like?
Gameplay only mainpoint is just a mandatory job for making videogames, but gameplay isn't everything if you were to consider MVCi sales & updates it even has. Visuals & Content (like Blood & Sex) is also important for a videogame, gives people more reason to buy a game. Fighting games is not a special genre to justify why a game has less fanservice especially for the DOA brand (not just DOAX titles).
Yes. I've seen this far too often. If everyone here were just sex-negative prudes, we wouldn't likely play DOA at all. It's just that there comes a point when everything is getting overshadowed by the cheesecake. That's a problem. There is still a game underneath there. Fanservice is supposed to be a perk, not the point.Also, hardly anyone said that they want some sexy with their fighting… the way more common point was that DoA is trash on any level, especially the fighting and the only reason anyone would possibly buy these games is the fanservice.

DOA5 did go overboard in a lot of ways. And while I'm sure that some people bought season passes and such, it didn't do much for DOA's reputation in the eyes of the general public. Some of the DOA games let you wear bikinis, but a lot of them didn't. DOA2 didn't, DOA3 didn't unless you had some kind of expansion pack, DOA4 didn't. DOAD didn't. None of the (fighting) DOAs had something akin to OMG mode besides the first one and that was mostly tech related. None of the other ones have 5 different jiggle settings and let you control the boobs with your controller.
So, with DOA5 being an outlier (even Itagaki [DOA's creator] said that they were going off the rails), you can't say that what we have for DOA6 thus far is some kind of betrayal like some on the ragenet were making it out to be. It's very much in line with most DOA titles.
It's not just as simple as "sex sells". You can't just keep turning up the fanservice because eventually you'll hit a wall where the general consumer base isn't going to respond well to it anymore. TN probably felt they were hitting that wall. So, we're probably not going to get OMG mode and gravure vids this time around, you're not going to see Marie on a pole, and we may only get 1-2 swimsuits and not 20. The thing is that no one knows for sure at this point. And anyone is free to not buy the game over those possibilities. But, those possibilities coming true would still equal the majority of DOA titles. So, if that's the dealbreaker, then...how much did you really care about the game to begin with? That's going to get called into question.
Even people were to wait more to see what were getting (which is going to only thing they can do at this point), they would still need to deal with interviews with Shimbori (via English translation) saying stuff that comes off as toning content down with opinions like “We wanted to make a more cool and mature Dead or Alive this time, and to that end we made a conscious decision to make the characters less sexualized,” from IGN or “Toning down the sexual expression doesn’t relate to esports, It’s more of a world trend. We’re considering how to make this franchise well-received everywhere.” Kotaku for examples which creates concerns. Even if the actual goal for DOA6 is different than what was written up for the interviews.

Assuming eyes of general public really makes difference on how profitable DOA5 method is (at the very least kept them longer for 5 years) along with contests, 6 Season Passes (7th cost less & had less pack since it was the finale), and third-party collabs which is insane on what they were able to do unless they're method led to them making less content (like SCV) or one set content (like MvCi) then ended their support then I can accept that opinion. Even if there are other games don't let you wear bikinis, there are still skimpy designs to choose within its library before DOA5. DOAD had one bikini (which is Kasumi's DOA2U costume 19/DOAX Begonia bikini), "control the boobs" part is mainly a PS3 thing since the wireless controller added motion which is what both Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 & DOA5 add breast jiggle via sixaxis.
I remember reading the interview from Itagaki when I was part of FSD, but I honestly don't care much on what Itagaki (original creator) himself thinks of DOA5 current direction at the time, since he isn't relevant to current DOA projects along with Itagaki's last game was Devil's Third which I haven't seen anything else from him.
Shimbori is the only one that feels anything about DOA fanservice from famitsu & psu interviews (which are from My previous post) considering he listens to opinions from random comments & mainstream media (which media has problems with sexual content in general), even DOAX3 was mention on taking things too far.
The stuff you mention like OMG, gravure, poles (even though main titles never have pole dances besides DOA4 Christie Ending), and amount of swimsuits. This is the stuff we won't see from the start, its going to be solved with feedback on what gamers truly want which all it needs is a proper platform to being able to speak on what they want.
If I was ever question as to "How much I care about the game?" if I didn't buy the game, I'd give you the opinion "If it was anything like DOA5 Updates/DLC in terms of content, I would've pre order along with getting Collectors Edition if it was available in the US (for DLC codes)." But in reality, I plan on pondering just to see what DLC has to offer along with waiting for survey feedback (since I talked to Shimbori himself) since DOA6 did show some stuff that interested Me.
The game is being toned down. That's not up for debate. You should still see what's being toned down and to what extent before making a fool out of yourself. You read the interviews and you deal with it by waiting.Even people were to wait more to see what were getting (which is going to only thing they can do at this point), they would still need to deal with interviews with Shimbori (via English translation) saying stuff that comes off as toning content down with opinions like “We wanted to make a more cool and mature Dead or Alive this time, and to that end we made a conscious decision to make the characters less sexualized,” from IGN or “Toning down the sexual expression doesn’t relate to esports, It’s more of a world trend.

If it was so lucrative, they likely wouldn't be changing course. Even if Shimbori felt however which way about fanservice, he still has bosses he needs to answer to. I'm sure that the DLC made them some amount of money, enough to justify doing it. But, they may think that this way, casting a wider net among "general people", will make them more money in the end. They are always looking to sell more product. You need the wider base in order for people to buy the DLC to begin with.Assuming eyes of general public really makes difference on how profitable DOA5 method is (at the very least kept them longer for 5 years) along with contests, 6 Season Passes (7th cost less & had less pack since it was the finale), and third-party collabs which is insane on what they were able to do unless they're method led to them making less content (like SCV) or one set content (like MvCi) then ended their support then I can accept that opinion.
Yeah. That doesn't change my point. There are a number of things they could "tone down" that would still leave it about where the other games were. You think there will be absolutely no revealing outfits? Maybe. Maybe not. You don't know. No one does. Wait.Even if there are other games don't let you wear bikinis, there are still skimpy designs to choose within its library before DOA5.
Are you...not still part of FSD? What's going on? lolI remember reading the interview from Itagaki when I was part of FSD

I don't think you understood what I meant, though it's partly my fault for beating around the bush. If not having the equivalent of a Fortune bikini is enough for you to not buy the game, then I question whether you were really playing the DOA games or actually enjoyed the games at all.If I was ever question as to "How much I care about the game?" if I didn't buy the game, I'd give you the opinion "If it was anything like DOA5 Updates/DLC in terms of content, I would've pre order along with getting Collectors Edition if it was available in the US (for DLC codes)."
Except here's the problem with your logic and those on GameFAQs, the DOA Reddit and R/Kappa who believe they are the majority:
They aren't. You don't seem to realize that as much as they are the ones who complain about the fanservice being the series' core identity(which makes about as much sense as nothing at all) and thus stifling it in any matter is wrong... You miss how little it actually matters to those who play it... because they love the series for everything else.
Most of the people complaining practically shown they have never touched a Dead or Alive game and never will by the very nature of how they are acting and what's worse is you see them practically acting like the very people that they say is "ruining" Dead or Alive... those filthy SJWs and the ironic part? I've SEEN SJWs help ruin games... Dead or Alive had issues with SJWs and that's why you see the gaming press usually shit on the game hardcore but it was never any of this backwoods nonsense that you see lately where the games literally get censored out the ass because of well being and other crap like that.
You had people so on the edge that you had a mistranslation from the very source of gaming journalism that we aren't supposed to be taken seriously be the so called "rallying cry", fuck what Shimbori says because he must be a two faced hack and it couldn't be the fact that there is simply different ways of marketing to different countries, that has NEVER happened before in gaming...
You have people, even when Shimbori is proven right in the fact that the fanservice is going nowhere and they mean to not put massive focus on it, now trying to pretend that it's either they AND the Japanese fans(yeah sure, the Japanese fans that would have tore the fucking building down if they was that irate...) gave it to Shimbori... despite him talking about it for months on end... or other sites that stoke the flames to further push the retarded agenda for quick clicks.
The worst thing? Even at it's lowest, the GameFAQs DOA board had people who actually wanted to play the game... and now it's primarily filled with trolls that will constantly say that the game is saved now because of Honoka's bouncy chest and that Shimbori got BTFO even among the few that states that it was never going away... that in Eventhubs, you have the same 2-3 people trying to parrot nonsense over and over again even when you have 4-5 people trying to bring in sense in the chaos so that it won't try and spread among idiots. And at this rate, most of the fanbase practically has gone completely QUIET on the issue which only gives further carte' blanche from these guys to pretend that they ARE the fanbase when they are a minority within the minority.
It's honestly gross as hell that this even OCCURED when not only the game wasn't even close to gold yet, but people will practically brush aside everything else as if tits is what causes DOA's fall or not... despite it not causing the fall of DOA5... nor any other past DOA game for that matter nor would Shimbori's "messups" cause the fall of this one. Because as I said before and as others have said as well:
Most of the people complaining about this DON'T EVEN PLAY DOA and the ones that do are in the minority. The majority of those complaining are the ones who legit believe that DOA is terrible and thus the only reason there are still sequels is because of the fanservice, IT HAS TO BE. It's like the same shit with any other fighting game, pick the lowest hanging fruit and see why it's shit to convince your echo chamber on why it's bad. It's been done with SFV, MvC:I, Blazblue, Guilty Gear, Soul Calibur, Tekken, etc. You even see it in Twitch and Youtube Chat constantly, let's not pretend that they even matter. I've seen more people give DOA a chance after seeing gameplay from tournies than trying to convince those morons that DOA is worthwhile for more than just the tits... but that's low hanging fruit for them because it's the easiest thing they can use against it, just like any other fighting game.

Now, you may not have the line in the sand at Fortune bikini. But if not, then I am curious as to what the line is.
79 pages of back and forth???
How does a community speak about ONE thing for short of 5 months bruh? Are we that bored? It seems to be that every time we get over the topic of fanservice and breasts, someone has to bring it back up and then boom, 3 pages of titty debate. It's tired you man.
On god no one cares.
