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).

my favorite is still DoA++ on arcade
i actually want to PLAY not ogle tiddies

I've seen it often mentioned here. What makes it better than other DoA1 versions or DoA2 gameplay wise?

[Anonymous No.9386103]

>>9385573
Amazing. I really enjoy the art style they have created. I also did enjoy DOA5's art style but there's something about the style they have created in 3/U just amazing. I know why you might have been disappointed but it's graphics are really good.

competitive players enjoyed doa 3 much more than doa 2, but the re-release of doa 2 as doa2u kinda mogged it with content.
doa 3 does feel like a rushed launch title.

>>9386505
doa 2u comes with the doa 3 booster update.

for backwards compatibility microsoft fucked up on xbox one and it tries to add the doa 3 dlc to every version, so japanese copies are fucked with dupe costumes.

Do games for xbox that had newer version with dlc included needed to download the dlc or connect to the internet to validate it?. I mean the dlc was on the disc but was unlocked by default?

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.

Kinda sad when you consider that VF5US put VF character rigs on Yakuza models, and removed the trees rustling and cloud shadows from the stages.

DOA6 also rubs salt into the wound by having shitty mini versions of classic stages in the DOATEC museum stage.

I'm a fighting pleb so I just fight the AI, and for me there wasn't a lot to do in doa3 for solo replay value compared to doa2, so I dropped it pretty quick. Played the shit out of DoA2 Hardcore and Ultimate, tho

The girls look more buxom in the Naomi/DC version of DOA2 compared to the PS2 version. The PS2 version changed the lighting and it affected the contouring around their boobs.

[Anonymous No.9388320]

>>9387503
That's also why DOA6 looks nerfed even though models weren't nerfed. It's shaders that they used makes the game look worse.
Although i wouldn't say PS2 looks better than DC.

i think its just dick-swinging honestly
it is absolutely fun and the pcb has a setting in the the software for "bouncing breasts"
i think DoA2 hardcore is the final official game
the rest is just fanservice and volleyball tiddy bouncing


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

Even if you were disable blur and render it higher resolution, while effects they added were interesting i do prefer raw Arcade/Dreamcast look myself for DOA2. Not to mention there's DOAU.

I dunno, some parts like the snow level impressed the shit out of me at the time.

>version of DoA2 and with dumbed down gameplay.
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.

[Anonymous No.9393484]

>>9393469
IIRC, DoA3 made counter holds very easy. And DoA2 home versions counters were already dumbed down from the arcade version.

What do you mean by counter holds? As far as I remember, it was already a one-button solution to do whenever the opponent was spamming you.

3 is the one I played the least so I can't tell you all that much but to me it hasn't felt too different from 2.

2/3/U/4 all feel pretty much as the same game. They all even look the same 2 is the only one that looks a bit different.
Another anon said 3 is better than 2 competitively. I was trying to find out how's 4 considered. I'm actually guessing worse.

DoA is actually very good. People get way too butthurt over its fan service. It's also unique.

[Anonymous No.9396110]

>>9385573
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.

[Anonymous No.9396343]

>>9396293
3.1 vs 3.2, which one is superior?

[Anonymous No.9396437]

>>9396343
3.1 is generally preferred I think, although 3.2 has some changes to the ninjas & Ein which clearly don't make a lot of difference. There's also the fan mod 3++ that tries to balance the game which might be a better option now.

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.

2U adds slopes, the 4-way hold, makes Tengu a playable character, and adds Hitomi. I think it's otherwise pretty true to DOA2 (think it's based on Hardcore).

don't talk shit on the volleyball games just because they turned the entire focus onto the girls and their sexy outfits. The games have real quality gameplay (at least the first two) and are top-tier relaxation games.

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.
