I thought she debuts in 2?

And why a pic from 5?

>>4322484
>I thought she debuts in 2?
Nope she debuts in DOA1 for PSX

Go to Options and put everything on Default (also Normal difficulty level). Then finish the game as Raidou once.

Now get out.

I'd like a double titjob from Kasumi and Ayane

>>4322480
why post a pic from nu-DOA? the character designs in DOA1 were objectively superior.

>Franchise nowadays is just forcing Honoka/Marie Rose into everything
What's the best version of DoA2?

>>4323043
By "franchise" surely you actually mean Source Filmmaker porn.

>>4323043
Naomi/Dreamcast.

>>4323062
what about 2 Ultimate

>>4323113
Yeah I don't know about that one, seems better than the PS2 version though. It has extra costumes.

>>4323113
>Dead or Alive Ultimate 2, being a remake created after the debut of Dead or Alive 3, takes elements and mechanics from both its original iteration and successor. The action of 3D-axis movement is as free-formatted as DOA3, and Hitomi is now a playable character albeit outside story mode. Other elements have been kept intact from DOA2. These include higher damaging counters than in DOA3, environmental hazards not warranting a knockout on a character, and a counter mechanism that is much harder to execute. Despite being able to freely move on a 3D axis in the Ultimate version of DOA2 however, most moves cannot be sidestepped as in other 3D fighters, as well as in DOA3. Another major change is in the revamped holding system in DOA2. The final major set of changes instituted in Ultimate is the inclusion of slopes, which are a type of environmental hazard where those knocked down them roll down the slope, taking damage as they fall.
Interesting.

doa2u and doa2hc.
doa2u is basically a remake of doa2hc with a lot more outfits and playable hitomi.
for some odd reason you cant select tengu's stage in doa2u though.
my pic is from doa 2 online which is stripped down doa2u for pc. it didn't last long but this is the stage in question.

its also worth noting japanese doa2 ps2 (not hc) has a save file with nude kasumi playable as an outfit.

>>4323043
>whore out hoonka and marie
>when the best girls are tina, hotmi, and 5 debuter mila

>>4323354
>doa2u pc
Can you play it offline? Does it has the same content as the console versions?
>>4323420
I only like Tina and Kokoro, I like more the male chars like Ein, Ryu, Bass or Zack.

>>4322968
>the character designs in DOA1 were objectively superior.

Damn right they where

>>4323428
i last played it years ago but no, you need to be logged into a server to access all content. and even then its just a lobby with basic menus.
the in-game graphics seem worse than xbox version (theres no graphic options), but its hard to do a direct comparison.
here's an old lobby pic

also a vid about it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuX6f0tapqs

still i recommend doa 2 hardcore and the real doa2u over it

>>4323043

Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate on Xbox. Has a bunch of DoAX swimsuits as unlockables.

>>4323127
This is where that fucking holding forward to counter kicks bullshit started, making the counter system basically worthless until you're a top player, since there's almost no way you can throw out counters and get lucky.

>>4323354
You can play as a nude Kasumi using a codebreaker code in HC...when you play as her in story mode, you get to the clone fight and you'll be nude...but once you win the game sorta locks up and you'll just be standing around with the clone beaten and have to reset the game.

>>4323545
DOA2U is still my fav DOA.

>>4324343

and no there aren't any nipples

>>4324343
>>4324356
you can sometimes use her in other modes but yeah it crashes often
she has nip bumps but no textures. also they did model her vag in camel-toe form surprisingly

>>4324406

>>4324408
woo

>>4323514
i just tried this again. seems the community got some unused content working as menus in-game. story mode scenes can be loaded as normal levels with basic collision. npc models are selectable too including helena's mom, kid tina and leon's girl roland.

>>4322968

>objectively superior.
Ok bro

>>4323043
Hardcore for PS2 or Ultimate for Xbox.

Dremfags force defence in 3.. 2..

>>4324460
The dreamcast version lacks both gameplay refinements and extra costumes anyway.

>>4324460
>PS2
lel

>>4324478
Huh, so I guess the Dreamcast has the better of the two inferior versions at least graphically.

Wait, are you being a graphics whore on /vr/ of all places? I thought this was where that didn't matter?

>>4324515
you're the weird one here.
if i'm playing DOA, i want the bouncing boobs in the most high quality possible.

>>4324473
The original arcade version of the game uses DC based hardware so it's always going to be at an advantage.

>>4324473

The dreamcast later got an enchanced version that got all that shit.

Overall Ultimate probably IS the better game but it's also not really the SAME game the way Dc and PS2 are.

>>4324571
I can't wait until Xenia emulates 360 completely so it can emulate the xbox backwards compatibility software so I can play DOAU.

>>4324478
>what is Hardcore?
Dreamfags, they never learn...

You know the first version of DOA2 released on PS2 was literally a stolen beta?

>>4324562
here's a quick version comparison.
basically every time they released a new version of the game they added content.
doa2dc(U) < doa2ps2(J) < doa2dc(E) < doa2dc(J) doa2LEdc(J) < doa2hc(U/E) < doa2hc(J)

>>4322509
Why not a double assjob instead?

Best girls:
Rachel
Ayane
Momiji
Maybe Hitomi

What I want to know is why Ultimate included the Saturn version of DOA1 despite it having less content.

Itagaki claims it to be superior but he's also a crazy person.

>>4325456
He hated Sony and judging by the PS port of DoA, it resembled Tekken too much whereas the Saturn port is closer to the original arcade.

>>4325473

yeah but he REALLY seems to hate sony for some reason.

>>4324970

>>4323514
>>4324413
that doa online thing was stuck at low resolution, i was able to force a higher one with GeDoSaTo, looks a little better. the aspect ratio is still stuck at 4:3 though so it's not exactly ideal.

>>4324532
Me, too, which is why I play DOA5 Ultimate because there's no reason to play the older games if you have that, since it's superior to all the old games...if I HAVE to play DOA2 it's going to be the Xbox version, though...I played the shit out of the PS2 version since it was my the reason I got a PS2, but it sits in a box forever now because it's obsolete.

>>4324593
There were multiple versions of DOA on PS2? Were they Japan only because in the US I only ever saw Hardcore...must have been like DOA 3 where the Xbox in Japan got a refined version, though we did get a costume disc thing.

>>4325456
It should have been a port of the arcade version, since it looks the best, be cause as it is now my copy of DOA1U never gets used because I have the PSX version.

>>4326479
You play the games for the story and characters.

>>4326482

I dunno man. This isn't like Soul or KOF where the characters actually have complex stories. I mean they do but they rarely shows in the actual game. DOA1 didn't have endings and even 2 and 3 basically would only have too second non ssequiters where nothing happens beyond the characters standing around or do something totally unrelated to anything.

Im a big fighting game story fag but DOA just doesn't really have it

>>4326489
It's the character driven comedy.

>>4326482
I used to but Itagaki left so none of what he was building matters anymore...the story in NG3 and DOA 5 are abysmal, but the gameplay is good.

I mean really, I've experienced the whole story already and that's all there is...it ends with DOA 4 and it was pretty okay...so I just don't care anymore and play for the gameplay.

Now I do go back to the older games from time to time to play on the good stages, because DOA 5's stages are pretty shit compared to 2-4.

>>4326629
That's implying the story made sense in the first place. 5 is an improvement when compared to the barely-interesting story.

1 doesn't even have the benefit of a story outside specific quotes between certain characters while 2 story cutscenes doesn't make any sense unless you read the manual (Kasumi hunts clone > Hayabusa makes a vague mention of a promise to Kasumi, Ayane is angry at Kasumi > Kasumi is suprised by Hayate's sudden apearance).

It's barely better than Virtua Fighter's storyline.

I always hated how most of the DoA characters takes themselves so seriously and the story is so melodramatic that ends being boring as shit.

>>4324478
Why is she horribly sunburned in the DC version?

>>4324590
>hoping for an emulator to get so good it can run an emulator
Why not just hope someone makes a working Xbox emulator?

>>4324410
WEW

>>4327305
Microsoft did. But they're not willing to distribute it for Windows or Xbone.

>>4324478
caparisons of doa2 are just weird.
for some reason the ps2 version has different colors for everything and different lighting.

>>4324478
Dreamcast version is definitely better looking. It doesn't look all washed out.

>>4327779
and different floor textures on the first stage

>>4324458
But the DOA5 stuff are anime style too.

>>4328357
I think its more because of the graphics limitations back then. Of course old and new stuff is going to loook different.

>>4327246
If you're here you should be used to reading manuals for story...and if you play all the story lines and play all the games you get the full story just fine if you pay attention.

5's story was shit and I don't even remember it nor care since it forced you to play as certain characters instead of just giving everyone their own thing like it had always been.

DOA was always better when the story was minimal because it wasn't bogged down with as much stupid shit but was still interesting when you dug into it a bit, like with Souls games.
