^Couldn't acccess the store yesterday, first time ever.
It's cool. I don't really care for bikinis anyways. Don't even use them for any of the characters I play with, lol.

That DoA of all games could help save the FGC from its gender issues would be the sweetest twist. Then again again, it might surprise some people that the game's looks have been a factor in keeping the game out of focus in that predominantly male scene. Well, that and not being a Capcom game.
On the outfits thing, I gotta try L1 for Mila's towel outfit, saw someone using it online without the towel.

I prefer ass sooooo Mila wins sorry
Don't have Mila's measurements, but last time I checked, Christie had that on lock XD
So I was just looking at the sales for P4A, and it sold 140k in its first week, which is bonkers. In the second week though, it dropped to 20k, so basically we just have to see how DOA holds up. Hopefully it'll maintain itself a lot better.
I'm also going to be very interested to see how it sold in the west. I hope it's done well.

I'm guessing I wouldn't be able to find out about combo properties from in game would I?
I haven't really settled on a character yet. Maybe Kasumi or Hitomi.
Here's hoping, but don't hold your breath/make any bets.

I just beat True fighter Survival mode. I got to level 90 plus, 3 times previously and lost them all.
My hands were shaking for the last 10 fights. I think I was lucky to have Bass as a final boss.
I love you Bass! Two difficulties away from Lisas T&A

I thought that only measured the hips not the ass directly? Christie is pretty flat there.
Yep. She's got the biggest hips though. *shrug*

Ive done Champ and True Fighter and Im now doing Master. Ive made it to level 67 on Master and the difficulty seems the same as the other two, which is good news. I would be so happy if Legendary turned out to be the same too.
Whether its worth it or not depends on how badly you want Lisas suit or the Achievement, I guess.
Its boring, frustrating, nerve racking and time consuming. I wouldnt do it for fun.
They're the same. Choose whichever platform you like more.
My initial thoughts for the stages were decent, but the more I play this game, the more I think DOA5 has the best stages yet.
First and foremost, the ones with multiple areas are incredible. I've played Fuel multiple times and last night the action fell into the oil drum area and after a round nearly everything was set aflame and then the sprinkler system activated, dousing all the fires and leaving the fighters soaking wet. Unfortunately it was Hayate versus Jann Lee.
Flow is ridiculous as well, with dislodging the raft and heading towards the waterfall perhaps being my favorite event to trigger, then I remember how awesome it is in Scramble when the steel beams swinging around while explosions are going off left and right.
Some other highlights for me: starting in the Temple of the Dragon and seeing the floor boards crack until you fall through; or, you just get knocked out the window into the courtyard with the cherry blossoms (Sakura). The music changes (and I think Sakura has the best music the game has to offer) and the fight is on, and if you're lucky, you can strike your opponent into the bell. I like the fact the bell isn't center stage, and you can fight in Sakura multiple times and never hit it.
The ambiance is Sanctuary is great as well, and slamming opponents into torches doesn't get old, and of course there's the rolling rock trap. Ends of the Earth is a great winter stage, with ice pillars to break and I'm still not sure if the stage has a bottom; it just kept going and going for me.
Lab has some cool effects and Depth is excellent as well. Home is fun to trash. Boxing ring is a boxing ring, but there's nothing wrong with no frills stages here and there.
Anyway, I'm just duly impressed with the effort that went into the stages.

Not just the best DoA stages but in terms of design and execution, some of the best stages in a 3D fighting game yet. Tons of intricacy in their interactivity.
It's only the hardware limitations of these platforms I think, that gives a first impression they look boring. The change in art style to a more realistic, understated real-world look isn't kind to limited texture memory. So the textures are a bit stretched thin.
I actually enjoy the circus stages more than I would have thought.
In terms of fun for longer fights, Temple of the Dragon and Scramble are favorites.

My strategy with Lisa basically revolves around landing Critical Bursts and the juggling the opponent for close to half their health. I also try to stay away from the electric fence as it screws up my juggle and theres a high chance of me getting smashed against it.
Lisa has given me the best results so far. Speed, power and mobility. I tried Hayabusa spam for a while but couldnt get past level 49.
I havent unlocked Gen Fu yet so I dont have to fight him
I wont unlock Alpha until Ive finished all of Survival either, for that same reason.

lucky you. he likes to delay his attacks and is not as aggressive as the others. one or two whiffs and i'm out.
Temple is really, really cool. I think my favorite stage is flow. I love how you walk across the raft and it dips and bobs with you, all while you see the background rushing past depending on the angle of the camera.
What's crazy to me is how much is going on and how it still maintains the framerate.
Would still kill for this on PC, though.
New character models.
All this talk of stages makes me want the game now, but delays, delays, delays. Hopefully I'm playing the patched and free-DLCed version
I really wish the 3D fighters would come out on PCs as well; the only obstacle is GFWL which is ass. Gabe, get on it pls.

This game has me interested in other DOA titles, I'm about to buy DOAU from ebay.
DOA4 is the only one that really holds up. The further back you go, the slower and clunkier they get.
Disagree 2U and 3 are way more fun than 4 and the visuals and gameplay have held up. Surely slower than DOA4 but definitely they play better and more balanced.
Whilst I was waiting for DOA 5 to come out I loaded up 2U, 3 and 4. 4 was miles more fun. Yes, hold damage is insane etc. etc. But I doubt he's buying it to play at a competitive level. >_>
Hmmm even not in competitive level the others I find them more entertaining. The AI on 4 is ass.
Being faster =/= to more fun. Actually the other games handled things better than 4 by being on the speed they were.
I went through everyone's stories and had no complaints. I don't remember DOAU having terrific AI either, but I didn't do single player so I can't say for sure.
When was the last time you played them?

I played U2 the week before DOA5 launch. DOA3 has been some months since I went and played it at a friend's house. (Too broke to actually buy it)
What I mean of the AI is that DOA4 people are super psychic while DOA U2 and 3 were more manageable since while they did read your moves it wasnt extreme counter by hit like at some moments on DOA4.
Story Mode stuff on Normal the AI is pretty much alright in all games but you can see the AI cheapness when you go higher
Also all the outfits and Stages in DOA U2 FTW
It looks great. DOA4 looks greater.
Honestly, Ultimate and 4 are both worth picking up because they'll be so cheap. Don't bother with 3, because it has a lot less content.
But tighter gameplay than 2 and 4 also by getting 3 you can unlock Hitomi on U2
Surely that's not the only way to unlock her?...
And there's nothing to do on it. Costume unlocks are a chore because they're random drops in survival, and there's only a few anyway.
You don't need 3 to unlock Hitomi. Just beat Arcade, IIRC.

Yeah I'll get both. 20 euros for both is not much.
DOA4 looks really good btw, was that a launch title?
