Dead or Alive 5 is a much worse game because of that DLC bullshit, ban.

Don't mistake my mention of it as anything less than slamming their practices to the fuckng ground. It was bad enough when Last Round tried to install mass amounts of shit the first time I tried to hook it up on the net, when it tried to forcefully update to Ultimate the next time I plugged it in, I quit with the online. Then I saw the DLC thing and the game could fuck off for all I could care, I had the VF5 characters and I just played on from there. Fuck that shithead DLC practice. It gets worse and more pervasive each time a new game does it these days in Japan. Fuck DLC. NioH alone doing it right and making it an online expansion pack isn't enough to stop the practice from being cancerous.

For added laughs, they had an interview at the start where they said "paid DLC and DLC characters won't be a thing for DOA5".

Whoever said that would make Walter Ulbricht* proud.

* East German Budget Stalin who ordered the Berlin Wall construction after claiming that "Nobody has the intention of building a wall"

The worst part of DoA5 was having to download literally 25+ fucking pieces of free catalogue dlc before it would open up ANY of the game modes. : DDD

They may as well make the next dead or alive game a fucking subscription service.

Entangle it with a Brazzers subscription. It's basically low-key porn anyway.

It probably will be. Isn't the next DoA game going to be a browser game?

Is this the price we pay for losing Itagaki?

It was the moment I knew they would only churn out shit. I was right. NG3 was crap, Other M was crap and the whole DoA shit never was any good to begin with.

I liked DoA 2 and 3 on the original xbox. GTAB.

I only had DOA2 Hardcore for Itagaki's favorite console, the PS2. Ayane a best.

Kinda interesting how 2D fighters are kinda big-ish again, while Tekken is pretty much the only 3D fighter still alive.
