Come to think of it, why do I even bother. The console version is far superior than the pandered version TN put in the special effort into making for Steam.
You never stop do you? you are trying sooo hard to ruin the game's hype, go play that lazy barebone Tekken 7 then, DOA won't miss you.
I don't enjoy Tekken's gameplay like I do DOAs, and Tekken already has a director who has a spine and an understanding of what their fans want, I have no work to do there.
But DOA which is one of my favorite fighting games, like Soul Calibur 6 (I love them both equally, and I wish to threesome with them) needs the help of its real fans right now to prevent it from killing itself.
Solo a Star Wars story losing over 80 million bucks is what happens when you stab your fanbase in the back. And it's what DOA is doing right now unless we correct them.
Personally, I have enjoyed both DOA & Tekken, as well as SNK, SF, VR Fighter, Soul, GuiltyGear, Blazblue, and plenty of others that never made it to the West. I also have enjoyed Senran Kagura and others like it. Even enjoyed Samurai Shodown with its extreme violence as an option. The only ones I never did enjoy are MK, with little actual legit fighting moves, as the gorn simulator that is not banned, unlike the fate of plenty of SFW version of Japanese titles, all because of anime faces and the need to pander to the NeoPuritan & NeoFeminist, like what happened on Steam all last month and might still be ongoing; like TN might be doing, or gonna to do in order to appease others. It is the same reason I did not want to buy nor touch the SF vs another disney assets.
Which reminds me, SNK is finally embracing the original DOA model, and coming out with something similar to the original DOA, to bad it is probably only aimed for the JP market, not that it matter since I already purchase and consume contents directly from Japan.

But there is a petition that just started, spread that to fellow TRUE doa fans.
Did you guys know that the creators hinted at ZACK discarding his goofy self and displaying a "cool" "mature" attitude instead?? :OO That's unacceptable!! I want Zack in his alien costume and I want my Dead or Alive to maintain the very things that got it on the map and gave it a fan base in the first place! And that includes silly, over-the-top fan-service-y costumes for females AND males. (And I really do agree with some opninions about it seeming illogical to alter the character's already-established appearances suddenly.)
I want a softer game where character don't take out their weapons and slice each other to pieces because that's what Dead or Alive has always been about. Heck, it's what the creators stated it was always MEANT to be about, which is why Kasumi (soft character design) became the poster child. (And I know DOA6 is not going to have people slicing characters into pieces like in Ninja Gaiden, I'm just saying I don't even want the DOA game to start moving in a direction similar to that.) It seems like only with the most recent Dead or Alive 5 installment that they started to harden and darken things up for some reason (but that was mostly just with the art style).
I respect anybody who likes the direction the game is going in. But there's also a large (seemingly majority) of people who are (most likely) veterans of the game (like me) who want it to keep its original roots.
If they wanna turn DoA into Kung Fu Prude Simulator, I can't stop them. That said, I don't have to help fund it either.
If they want to lock their testicles away in a drawer somewhere, that's their business...The Soul Calibur devs still know how to handle theirs, so they'll get my money. If Team Ninja gets their heads outta the sand, they'll also get my money.
DoA 6 will be the first game in the franchise's history that I have skipped, but I'll skip it if it isn't what I want from said franchise. It is what it is, but there's tons of other places to spend money if they decide they aren't interested in making any of mine.
Seriously though, stripping the fanservice from the DoA series is about as intelligent as taking gore and fatalaties out of Mortal Kombat. I just don't think aliening the core audience is going to work out for them. I suppose we'll find out in the end, eh?
That's not a conspiracy theory, just follow Marvel comics own writers and artists on twitter and they'll proudly tell you about their feminists agenda. It's not a secret
why are you being such dumbass about it?
Not only that, but Marvel has been trying to blackball smaller companies/artists/writers. Look into the crap behind the Jawbreakers comic and the crap Mark Wade and company have been pulling. they have been blocking and deplatforming anyone that isn't pro social justice and have been holding comic shops and small retailers hostage for months.
I saw that crap happen nearly in realtime. It's nuts.
I think its pretty telling that the Jawbreakers guy managed to crowd fund almost a half million dollars too...People are tired of the SJW crap co-opting and killing their fandoms.
People seem to have forgotten (or simply don't know) that in Tecmo's case, DoA's introduction of "jiggle physics" and use of fan service saved their company from going under all those years ago. The very things they are turning away from (and the things the betas are giving other fans sh*t over) are the things that helped build and sustain the franchise.
Without the DoA girls and the staples the series is known for, the DoA franchise will be deader than 4 o'clock on a dry Tuesday.
I like that saying. I don't know why 4 o'clock is dead or why it's made deader by the fact that it's dry or Tuesday. But I like that saying.
Thank you very much. Personally I don't really believe in change.org, however at least it is something. Signed and commented, info passed on to other DOA friends of mine.
Thank you again. Here goes nothing or something, finger crossed. If not, oh well. There is always that stopgap measure, from that certain lab we still can't talk about, because TN was forced to pander to BS Steam rules. Which other game makers from Japan also followed, not that it helped them in any way, because their SFW censored version still got taken down.
