Even though i enjoy that, i still want to have the option to play 1 on 1 against somebody, but the bad part about that is if you don’t have headsets, and the loser wants to leave, they have to either disconnect or win. There should be a way the loser can exit the game without having to disconnect in a 2 person room.
you can set the options to have 2 players only.
yea but the thing is, most people dont want to do 1 on 1s, so i cant just jump online and go into one.
And yes i know you can set the options to having 2 players only. I even mentioned it in the last sentence about having a 2 person room…
ooops,yeah, that’s true, no one wants to play with 2 players in a room.
Yeah, I agree. The online mode is great. Lots of different modes, the arcade-like feel (and seeing as how arcades are doing now, we need more online games like this), and a great profile system in which you can represent your country, have a custom name/message and keep a detailed record of your stats.
Not only is the setup great, the network coding is unrivaled in a fighter. Sometimes I can play *Japanese players * with next to no lag.
Seriously, anybody who says that DOA’s online system is anything less than great is a fool. The game isn’t the deepest thing ever, but it still sets a new standard.
I want a 1 on 1, can’t get one.
Yeah it sets a new standard, in shitness. winner stay is shit, everyone know doa is pure random scrubiness so losing to a lucky scrub and waiting 20 minutes for another turn isn’t fun. Please stop defending this shitty game, just go to doa central fag forums and suck people off there. Those retards think doa is a competitive game so you’ll get on well with those scrubs
DOA is not random unless you make it random. what is your GT, i go by “Kingraoh” look me up. i’m not random. i will play you 1:1. i’m not TOP TIER in this game but i will give you good matches. when will you be on or us this just random venting about how lame DOA is? also, i DO think that alot of scrubby people play DOA. i’ve been cursed out EVERY time i have played for the last 3 weeks. geez, people are sore losers.
Anyhow Bender, let’s get some games in.
i guess you don’t go to arcades or play basketball on the streets or watch football or even play competitively. “i won the playoff game! now i can go home and watch the perennial super bowl”
everyone in this thread has been saying that doa isn’t that great but the online system is genius
and i still haven’t seen you come up with a reliable argument against it, instead just saying that doa is a horrible game.
If 3S had winner-stay, you’d be all over it’s nuts, and rightly so. Please, shut up. You CAN get one on one by creating a 1 on 1 game. it’s not that hard.
i absoluety WORSHIP 3s. i have the import version of the XBox Live game (anniversary collection). my brother has the game as well. he lives about 8-10 miles from me. the games we have are okay. i’ve played others 20 miles, 100 miles away, and 1000 miles away. the lag makes it unplayable to me (i have a VERY fast connection. i am 1000 feet from my server). if people are expecting 3s online to be playable at a competative level, they are going to be disappointed. YES, you CAN play it, but it takes away from the pace of the game. 3s requires strict timing, with lag you miss out on timing meaties correctly, parry timing, and of course you cannot reliably confirm your super. it’s a different game altogether online, which to me makes it no longer the game that i fell in love with. consequently i play doa online as a substitute to my addiction for comp on fighting games.
doa IS a FAR better online experience than anniversary collections. no, it is not a better game. yes, it IS shallow compared to other fighting games, but the same basic mindgames are there…
poke, throw, set-up combo, just like in 3s. just like 3s, in DOA to be good, you have to be conscious of frame advantage/ disadvantage and what not. it’s deep enough AND it is PLAYABLE online. competition on a fighting game ANY time of the day. what more do you want?
PS, now don’t get me wrong i completely understand why people would not like this game. everyone is entitled to their opinion. i just don’t know why, if peeps disliked this game that much, that they would take time out of thier day to bash it. welcome to SRK i suppose.
That was sort of the whole point of this thread. I never meant for this to be a DOA RULZ thread or a DOA SUXORZ thread. But rather to discus the matching system in the game. I like the arcade feel with the large rooms of people in a game. And the shear number of game options you have. I just wish that Capcom and SNK would take a queue from this matching system and do their next on-line fighters the same way.
the ONLY reason i started play DOA online is because the online system is soo good. i got anniversary collection and DOAU around the same time. i compared the two, found that 3s was horrible to me online. ended up playing the hell outta DOA because of the lagless games i can get. to my suprise i ended up liking the game. the fighting system is cool. i prefer 3s more, hell, i prefer alot of games over DOA, but the online system is too good for a competative fighting fan to give up. AND it’s PLAYABLE.
i agree DOAU has a great online system. I tried to play CvS2 and GGXX#R online,it would lag sometimes and the matches got boring.
In DOAU it does play like you are in the arcade. I didn’t like DOAU at first,then after playing online off and on for a month,I started to like it more. It’s a lot more fun to play online than just playing against a few freinds or the comp. I am not saying it’s the best 3D fighter,it does have it’s good points and bad points like any game period. No game is perfect
I have not played SFAC on the xbox yet(cancelled my order for it,due to it taking forever :rolleyes: ) I hope it does not lag like CvS2. I am a big 3s fan and want to play online espically against people from other countries. I played against a S ranked japanese player in DOAU-no lag at all and barely won the fight:rofl: now that is fun :tup:
my question is why would you go from playing doa3 to regressing back to doa2 with aslittle bit if changes… it really maks no sense considering that doa 3 is a hell of a lot better and 7423423324 different ways… they gaes isnt bad it just isnt good… play doa 3 make a offline scene and have a good time thats how is shoud be done
yeah, i wish that they would have done a DOA3Ultimate online, but this is not the case. there is absolutely NO scene for doa3 where i live. Los Angeles. still, DOAU is online, i don’t have to leave the hizzie. besides, i prefer to play 3s when it’s head to head or when i have friends over. i am sure that many feel the same.
the point is you have to MAKE one happen
