So uh, the store page says that the game will not have online functionality for 3 months after release...

[Taka]

Right from the store page:

Additional Notes: Online modes for Dead or Alive 5 Last Round will be added in a patch within 3 months of release.

Are you serious? No. Better question. Are you insane?

Because you just lost 90% of your sales.

But it is coming later and not at release date that why we are angry

I don't really play fighters online, only local, so I'd rather have it sooner than later. Feel like since it is coming anyway the discussion doesn't really matter, just buy it during the Steam Summer sale next year.

Day 1 purchase for me as I no longer play fighters online... After finding a local scene it's been near impossible for me to readjust to online frame delay. Plus, I feel like I've gotta support this. At release, it'll be the only relevant 3D fighter on PC. As long as it doesn't suffer from any technical problems, I think it'll be worth the purchase

You would rather the game be delayed three months for a feature than to get to play it now? Are you retarded?

Since the game has already been developed, and is simply being ported to the PC, the developers should put a strong focus on getting online multiplayer right so this doesn't turn out to be a huge mess like Capcom's PC port of Ultra Street Fighter IV. Still, I'm glad that Koei Tecmo is finally porting a Dead or Alive game to the PC; I played this title on the PS3 and found myself wishing it had a PC port. I'd also like to see the Ninja Gaiden games ported to the PC!

Guys don't bring the tinfoil hats. They won't deliberately gimp one version so the console versions sell. That makes no sense. Console gamers will purchase the game on their consoles, while PC gamers will purchase on PC (or wait 3 months).

But it might tell the tale that the port may be bad. Either way I'm glad to see DOA on Steam.

[Scytzo]

Wow... entitlement is amazing. They're being honest, upfront, and classy about this.

First game I've pre-ordered in about a decade. I've been waiting for this since DoA3.

Also, I rarely go online. Friends come over every Friday to play local multiplayer & drink. Now we can do that in glorious 1080p-4k at 60fps.

What a wonderful time to be alive.

3 month wait for net code nooo come on now.

[Dagger]

would you rather have an online mode that works?
or gets regular patches like Halo Master chief collection?

[xKamillox]

3 months for online mode wow. I will enjoy all nude mods for this time ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

You wouldn't. Nobody with the option of playing on PC is going to settle for an inferior console version. So they're deliberately screwing over the PC version so the console versions get more sales.

You mean like Capcom :V?

Wow, look at all the corporate apologists. What a bunch of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ losers. You'd probably let them ♥♥♥♥ on your face if they promised to give you a cookie afterwards. I'm done here. You people are hopeless.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ you must live a very angry life. I'm sorry, hope things get better.

I'd much rather be happy for what I have then angry for what I don't get.

<Insert angry rant here and then buy the game anyway>

Barring Capcom, Japanese devs are magically immune to the notion that you shouldn't buy a game sight unseen, as they would lose faith in PC gaming if their game fails.

I had hoped people learned this with ClaDun X2, but at this point, i can only hope that the steam community doesn't screw themselves out of Bandai Namco's franchises when Rise of Incarnates hits Steam.

It's a fairly odd choice for the devs to launch without netplay in a genre of games that lives and dies based on it's netplay. Why they didn't simply wait to release the game until it was fully ready is anybodies guess. Many people, including myself, will not buy this at launch due to this and now I won't be buying until it's discounted severely. I'd wager I am not alone in this.
