(I searched doa and dead or alive, so I SHOULD be okay making this)
I use to hear a bunch of hate on the series here… Can someone explain? Feel free to go into detail, I’m curious. I just bought DOA2 Hardcore today, btw.
Only DOA3.1/2 deserves props, and maybe DOA++. Bun all the rest.
Why do people come to SRK to complain about games that people on SRK don’t really play?
?____?
I was expecting this and would like to clarify that is not the case. I asked because there are usually good reasons I’m not aware of.
Some people play, so it doesn’t matter if people think it sucks. Leave it to them. I’ll play DOA4.
Most ppl who hate doa have no idea how to play. If someone does know how to play, but still doesn’t like it, is more reasonable. Unfortunately, the ones who hate it are usually the loudest. It shouldn’t matter to you. just have funz.
I hate it, its random, thats my opinion.
Maybe it’s just me, but the amount of damage given and recieved in DOA2 Hardcore is random.
I could just be imagining this, but I’m almost positive. Can anyone confirm this?
You made a thread with “hate” on the topic…
…in SRK, of all places…
One thing i believe HURTS DOA’s appeal, is that in various ads, it is the boobies that are the main focus and not the game play.
Leaving some to assume it is just a crappy, shallow title, and not a serious fighter.
DOA = rock/paper/scissors with boobs.
god this might take my sig away.
:wonder:
DoA isn’t that bad, 4 is actually an improvement over the previous games in the series. 2U is okay but the counter damage is still way too high.
yaaaa… at this past evo i was able to win 3 or 4 matches in the tourney after spending 3 hrs with the game. I wonder why no one takes this game seriously
Doa 4 is fun. Really fast gameplay with mad mindgames and such.
Actually, I’ve noticed significantly less hate for DOA since 4 came out.
wow another DOA debate…why dont we just hate on something that everyone hates…Like Virtual Fighter series!!!
Because Virtual Fighter doesn’t exist. Now, if you mean Virtua Fighter, then that’s just suicide in the form of .HTML text.
so youd rather play a game that heavily relies on past practice and “how to beat everyone with a braindead technique” discussions.
doa4 requires the ability to adapt.
i hope it never changes, i love 2D fighters more but doing the same shit all the time gets old quick.
i hope vf5 is online, otherwise its pointless
the reversal window in doa2hc and up until 4 i believe, was fucking retarded. super retarded.
the damage from reversals and falling off of stuff is still to high in my opinion.
alot of people dont really give it a time of day because it is so fast paced, and because of that, feels alot more random. well, honestly, it is alot more random then the other mainstream 3d games out now. its system is made to play quick and get r done it seems.
i like the wall effects and sound when you smash someone into one of those shits, and the slow down if you kill them off of the wall.
i dont like the fact that after a stun hit, they still have the oppurtunity to reverse your next move, because there arent alot of guaranteed combos in the game, but you have to guess your reversal right. high, low or mid. obviously top players have better tactics, and dont usually run into this problem as much as the average masher or player. unlike other games like tek 5 and dr, where a ch leads to guaranteed ass jugglin time, but you can break out of some ch, but you cant go immediately into a reversal.
the fact that everyone has the capability to reverse is kinda annoying. i like it to be more character specific.
there is something to the doa series. play it if you want. i think its a fun decent game. its not as trashy as everyone will make it out to be, but its still not top tier on gameplay vs the other mainstream 3d fighting games.
put it like this. i played doa2hc seriously one day for about 4 hours, then went over my friends house to play doa4. i raped the shit out of him, and then went online and won like every match vs a class and s class players. granted, we were ranked e, because we usually just get super drunk and play the game online and talk shit, and get our asses kicked. i got us up to about b class before i quit. i only lost a few times. now i know its online play and it doesnt say a whole lot in most peoples eyes, and in mine to, to an extent, but im sure most of those players play everyday, and probably thought they were good, and were probably decent, but it only took me 4 hours of applying the ryu shit i learned in doa2hc, to doa4, plus adding a few new things i learned, and i was kicking ass. the game is alot more newbie friendly then most.
all that aside. i love the characters in the game. i dont know what kinda man would not like it. play the game. there are serious players out there, and you can take the game seriously. dont let anyone else discourage you from playing it. just go check out doacentral and you can find some peeps there willing to play in your area, or online if you get doa4 or 3.
it has its bullshit, but what game doesnt
vf5 is not gonna be online. and what game would you be referring to about the brain dead tactics?
