What's on your opinion on DoA3 compared to DoA2? I feel like it was a disappointing upgrade rather than a completely new game. Barely looking better than the Dreamcast version of DoA2 and with dumbed down gameplay. Furthermore, VF4 was released around the same time and it was on another level from gameplay standpoint (and graphics if we are talking about the arcade version).

The sunset beach stage in DOA3 is IMHO the most atmospheric and impressive stage of any DOA game. The birds flying, the palm trees swaying, the uneven surface, it's perfect.

A bland, midday version of this stage would appear in following DOA games.

DOA3 and 4 had vastly more detailed stages, but the same Naomi/Dreamcast character models.

DOA5 and 6 had more detailed character models, but sacrificed the stages to achieve that. DOA6 has the dullest stages in the franchise. One of DOA6's stages doesn't even have a sky box.

which is sad, bc at its core the original titles had a unique gimmick (rockpaperscissors), destructible background environments, and better models than any of the tekken games

I couldn't tell, DOA gameplay is already dumb with its counter system. Maybe you mean the lack of team moves, I don't remember DOA3 having that, but it's been so long I bothered playing either. Both were just the average masher game with tits whenever Soul Calibur wasn't available.

I always wanted to get into DOA but couldn't. At the beginning is was a cooler but more casual VF cousin but around 2001 VF became cooler while also being more rewarding to play. I will always love Leifang but the rest of the cast is extremely boring, from many ninjas who all exhibit the same unrealistic acrobatic fighting style to "others" who are just discount VF and Tekken characters but with no personality, because all of creativity was spent on the ninjas.

4 was hated because it was fundamentally broken:
>low hitstun meant you could recover faster after being hit than the attacker in some cases, making the game very poke heavy
>back turning was too fast so you couldn't punish big whiffs
>throws were too slow so you couldn't punish a hold on reaction
>walls favoured the person on the wall instead of the attacker
>guard breaks didn't lead to a combo
I think there was more, maybe free step dodge was more restricted like 3.2 rather than 3.1.

Thank you anon-sama. I'm the retard asked that question 5 times.

I played U and 4 mainly with different times and it's been a while since i played any of them.
There was something about 4 i didn't like and don't have access to it anymore.
Your explanation is the the reason i didn't like 4 as much Ultimate i think. That's why it felt sorta off.
Is there much difference between 2 and U?

I agree but the mods were more than just full nudity. DOA2U had a shit load more costumes than DOA3 & 4 so there was room for lots of sexy lingerie, stuff showing off nipples, tattered uniforms and mega milk breast enhancements on some.

This honestly. Don't see why anyone would consider Animal Crossing a real game and XBV isn't. It's a top tier vacation simulator with chill music and beautiful girls. Also, Volleyball is really fun in the game.

Also most games in the franchise are still good and it's one of the most fun fighting game franchises I've ever played so I don't give a fuck if they turned up the sexiness or whatever.

I like Kasumi. She sure is "bland", but she's such an empathetic well-mannered princess. Elegant, but still humble. Sexy, but not a slut (don't mind the not-canon coomer outfits). You could talk to her and she would respectfully engage in a conversation with you, she's not a snob.
