Does anybody really do that though? It would be nice if more fighting games offered a good amount of unlocks or content like alt costumes and stuff. I'm one of this people who really enjoys they kind of stuff when done right. Sadly it seems to be going away because of try can sell it as DLC.

Well, it is part of ther job I guess. You're right though, docking points because of a fighting game's story is pretty dumb.

Has anyone bought this game? The guy streaming is fighting against the same person every time no matter how often he quits and searches for new lobbies

Anyone know?
If he's doing simple/ranked matches he's doing it wrong. That's matchmaking him to the fastest connection/person it can. Lobbies will give you a server browser or allow you to create a room on your own terms. He should do that instead.

I don't think any of the previous DOA's did it, so I wouldn't count on DOA5 to do it either. But why not try it for yourself? Worse case scenario: You have to play round-robin in tag mode.

It's part of the IGN Pro League too.
That's what I call quality trolling. XDI missed that discussion.
(i even reviewed Skullgirls)
stealth edit for the gaffers: I know this dude and just having fun here...
I see, thanks.
That must be a sign: I felt kind of curious about trying out the US voices.

Asking myself that question a few years ago completely changed my game buying habits for the better.
Pfft. Just ignore them and smile and go "yeah, I'm buying it for the masturbation material. You got a problem with that, plebe?"

Outside of limited midnight release and prereleases, not too many have the option to buy it. There's also a shit ton of things to unlock offline. It'll pick up this weekend.
Just had the laggiest match ever. Probably got matched up with someone in asia. 25 matches, game does work online, but it could be better.

IGN Review - 8.8
"Dead or Alive 5 is, without any question, the best entry in the series. It retains its identity as a fast-paced, visually stunning 3D fighter, while shedding much of the baggage that's typically held it back. While there's still plenty of eye candy for both the ladies and gents, it's taken a back seat to what fighting games should be all about: fighting. It gives the casual fan a fighting experience that's as easy to grasp as it is exciting to watch, while providing more serious players the depth and features they need to stay interested. Give Dead or Alive 5 an honest chance, and youll find a formidable, enormously entertaining fighter that will keep you busy for a long time to come."
+Great visuals and animations.
+Deepest Dead or Alive yet.
+Strong training mode.
+Spectacular interactive environments.
- Sometimes a little too over-the-top.

difficult learning curve????
I mean, this game is not shallow or easy game, but I think it has one of the easiest learning curve in recent fighters.

Didn't read it yet, but what did they mean by "Not knowing what new moves do"? What's the problem?

Well, having watched this stream for over an hour now, the netcode is fine.
No mention of input lag, dropped combos or disconnects.
We can purchase this game with confidence.

I would expect nothing less from the best fighting game of the last 10 years.
I disagree and think that anybody who wants to play online should be wary.
It's really hard to see the lag. It FEELS off, but it runs fine. You can't tell by watching.

Input lag has always been a given in DOA Online, but in DOA5 is literally like you are playing in slow motion. Also the framerate drops which is totally unacceptable. DOA4 is just an overall better product, much smoother. Team Ninja is a fucking mess without Itagaki. Hayashi is such a fuck up.
Shit online for a fighter these days = your game fails. Plain and simple.
DOA community is small and you aren't going to grow it if there can't be people enjoying it online to want to come out to the events for it. That's how I see it anyway.
Never said otherwise. Doesn't mean this game is bad, though.
You can't get online without patching.
Are they doing lobbies? I haven't done that, only played ranked games. I'll try a lobby later.
Apparently what the stream shows is deceiving. It looks smooth, but the players are actually experiencing input delay.
Also, I'd take anything PerfectLegend says about this game with a grain of salt---he helped test it and his opinion is skewed either way for his raging hard on for the series it seems.
Where is based Haunts with his glorious reviews?
All fighting games drop price fast. ALL.

N00b question is this game 60FPS?
Anything online will have some sort of input lag. You can hear them pressing buttons and see the moves come out too.
Some other competitive players are streaming, and they are pleased. If you can't trust their opinions too , who can you.

Phew, someone the other day said it wasnt and I nearly had a heart attack.
I'm at work so I can't have the audio on. What is Art saying about the net code? I'll take his word, because he hasn't been wrong yet for net code on a game yet.
I think one of the reviews mentioned local 4-player tag matches were possible.
I'm a competitive player and I think it feels like ass. I'm also a huge DoA fan.
TTT2, SC5 have amazing netcode. I can count the number of matches I'd consider unplayable on one hand. This netcode is comparable to KoF13. Feels good on a great connection and terrible on everything else.

Point taken.
I think it's to early to grab the pitchforks though.
Things can only get better.
Going to Gamestop can be extremely annoying. I only go if I have to...in this case, to get the PS3 DOA5 CE with leftover trade-in credit I had when I also went there for Tekken two weeks ago.
I'm actually dreading going to the mall this afternoon. I hate going to the mall now as it is, but the Gamestop there had a new manager that wouldn't stop pestering me about the premium card/Game Informer crap the whole time I was there.
I understand that they are required to try to get people to pre-order stuff. I understand that they are required to do the "rewards" card spiel.
What I do not accept are these things being repeated to me, multiple times, after I have declined- and this is not hyperbole.
Fortunately this is the last time I'm going to be going to a Gamestop for the foreseeable future.
And this is why Amazon is awesome.
Smash Bros.
Nintendo tax.
No way in hell I'm buying it then. I had KoF13 for a week tops, and as good as it is offline, I had no reason to play it with friends or online with strangers because it was a nightmare.
Or things can stay exactly the same.
As of right now, with my experience, it pains me to recommend other games over this.
But I can't say this is acceptable, especially given the pedigree of the series' with its pretty much pioneering online fighters and how awesome namco's netcode is. I'm so sad right now.
The only company I would accept bad netcode and still buy is SNK, and I got VF and Tekken for my 3d fix.
I'm waiting for bomba (which will happen) or may just say no sale.
I might even buy Guilty Gear instead, and I've never liked GG.
