Costumes are definitely a bit "meh" all around, but it makes sense to me that they'll save the cool stuff for DLC. That's just the way it is.

What's the word on the net code?

Initially thought to be pretty bad, but has turned out to be ok. Not as good as SCV though apparently.

There is a patch now and the matches the guy had (10) were all smooth so I guess its good.

Cool. Good to hear more positive things about the online. I don't expect perfect netcode in any Japanese game, as long as it's not delayed like crazy, and I can find matches without waiting 20-30 mins between games.
 
Do we have a tournament list? I think I'll get this game the day after tomorrow (EU) for PS3. Haven't played DOA since 2005/6...lol yeah I'm a total beginner.
But I've read that DOA is the best BeU for beginners, right?
Hopefully the netcode is good 'cause My grilfriend don't like fighting games : D

I called gamestop and they said they cannot change the shipping method because its already in process....which sucks.

But I guess since its 2-day shipping, it could arrive my Wednesday hopefully.

TT2 has some problems with the way the way it uploads data to WTF, and the wait between matches in ranked are kind of long (ps3 version is more obvious). I'm assumed this will be fixed soon. Can't say much about VF5 or SCV because I've never played them.

Ah damn! NO midnight launch at the Gamestop over here, so tomorrow's CE will be waiting.

And Edge, never change!

How are you checking midnight openings? I can't find anything about it on the website and I'm not sure if mine is doing it or not.

Yeah, just call them. They were pretty adamant about not having enough preorders to open for tonight- sad news. As long as that CE comes through, no worries!

Wut? Arc sys has had the best 2d netcode for ages and now Namco's SCV and TTT2 netcode is godly as well. People I'm playing wouldn't be busting out EWGF's otherwise consistently.

I hope to hear good things from this.

So, what kind of prices would everyone expect/want for DLC?

In NGS2, it was £3 (About $5?) for four costumes. That seems maybe a little steep? I dunno.

Im reminded of 2.99 per outfit in FFXIII-2... smh. $5 for 4 seems great by comparison.

Wut. That's pretty crazy.

I think I'd pay $5 for four, I guess. I think they'll probably be grouped with similar characters? Like a Ninja Pack, which would be 'Busa, Ayane, Hayate and Kasumi. That'd work.

I know that. Result of improving netcode this generation was all about Trial and error. I don't have any frame of reference with what DOA5 is building on. SCV and TT2 were the result of T6's online sucking badly. I'll let you know how this feels online.

Yeah, it definitely would.

Also, Sigma 2 had only one DLC pack, and I expect DoA5 to be way more profitable under this perspective: so, more DLC packs, more contents to add in the medium/long term, more money for Team Ninja to potentially make and... Well, maybe lower prices overall for us bitches who have not the game yet but already wish to spend more pennies on DLCs? :D

I doubt it'll be lower than that, seeing the competing prices other people have put up. I hope TN has more success with their DLC this time though, they've been trying to get in there for years but haven't had much success. The only DLC that I know for sure a lot of people bought was the NG2 mission mode.

Whelp. If the costume packs cost $5 for 10+, I'd buy them all.

Seriously they can spam all DLC they can imagine of outfits I might not consider buying just because they are bundled into a super cheap price I'll easily bite.

Well I'm picking this up tomorrow morning and it will be my first DOA game. Looking forward to seeing what it is like. o:
If any help needed I'm sure either me or anyone around here can help you. Enjoy the game :)

Does anyone who got the Amazon UK cheap CE have an estimated dispatch yet? Mine is still unavailable, and it's making me nervous.

I feel exactly the same way. Doubt it'll happen though, most companies don't have that kind of smart.

They apparently took the 360 CE away from Amazon IT too... I still have my PS3 preorder (87 euros... Don't know if it's what you call cheap) scheduled for dispatch next Monday.

Not bad.
Just recieved a call from work that tomorrow instead of working 11-8, I'll work 2-11.
Now, I can actually play before leaving to work, instead of having to wait untill like 9PM. :)

That review is hilarious. Say that with two attack buttons the game can never be taken seriously, then name drop Virtual Fighter as a game to be taken seriously.

Then again that is a blog from a user and not 1up review. Still good someone corrected her in the comments in a lot of ways lol.

I don't have one yet, though The_Monk over in the CAG Euro thread has his dispatching on Thursday.
The CE preorders are also available again for £54 (over £6 cheaper than their nearest competitor), so here's hoping Amazon have sorted things out with the distributor and get them out in time for release.

$5 for 4 sounds about right for DLC costumes, but I think they'll be single character packs with a few out every few weeks. So like Christie pack/Tina pack/Lisa pack one month, Kasumi pack/Ayane pack/Kokoro pack the next month, etc etc.

EDIT: Bundles would be cool too. So like "Get all three packs for $12!" That'd be great.
