This next pack has a 50/50 chance of costing money. Nothing's been confirmed. Yet.

I personally doubt this next pack will cost money, seems dumb to release free costumes for half the cast and than charge for the other half. These costumes don't have the wow factor (read t&a) to cause a demand for people to pay for them.

Don't listen, you made the right choice. DOAX2 was a downgrade with extras and HD graphics. Not to mention the nightmare inducing boobs...

Didn't the original have more swimsuits as well?

How's the PSP version hold up? I have it just never got around to checking it out, who knows where my psp is now...

No it wasn't. They improved gift giving(max friendship=guaranteed gift), removed bikini's being thrown in the garbage, added more swimsuits, added jet skiing, added partner cutscenes, and even more mini games. It has everything DOAX1 did and thensome.

Girls reject revealing/tough bikinis all the time in DoAX2, even with full hearts/friendship. I know because it took me a loooooong time to get all the achievements.
I never played DoAX1 but I really enjoyed DoAX2. The volleyball was kinda like a sexy NBA Jam.

They fixed the gift giving, I'll give you that. Definitely less swimsuits though, can't remember how many unique ones per title anymore though. The volleyball mechanics felt a lot worse, made the jet skiing the only worthwhile activity. I think they even changed that stupid pool hop game to a worse variation if I remember right...
Sorry, gonna have to agree to disagree on this one :)

I can't speak for the PSP one, I kinda gave up on the DOA series for a while after that.

I know because it took me a loooooong time to get all the achievements.
You legitimately got all the achievements?! I figured that was impossible. Wow.

I like DOAX way more than DOAX2, it has a good volleyball game and 60 fps (I think DOAX2 is 30 fps) and boobs don't move like DOA5. :/

I like the jet ski in DOAX2, it was really good.

I thought that too, but I wouldn't judge whether or not this next pack or the other half skimps (heh) on T&A. We've only seen Hitomi and that Kasumi pic, assuming it was real.

And Paradise is... not very good? I dunno. Who buys that looking for good game design?

If you got them at max(true love) they would accept anything. They change into the bikini infront of you when you gift it.

Overall it was the much better game. Jet skiing in some of the more advanced levels was a thrill.

Visually it's better than DOA5, minus character model style of course.

What method did they use to patch Mila's infinite? Does it force tech now, or did they change the ground game somehow? Or is it just slower?

well, to be honest i only tried a couple of rounds with throwdowns enabled and those horrible pauses i used to get were gone. before i couldn't even play for 10 seconds without getting a 2 seconds pause.

would need to play a bit longer to confirm it's completely fixed.

i used to get slowdowns once per match.

All I got for the Vernal Equinox was this stupid tag
DOAX and game play in same sentence... ROFL

Pretty much this. DOAX2 also wasn't as good as the original, which is not BC on 360. I was always disappointed in DOAX since the volleyball part of the game sucked. Beach Spikers and Outlaw Volleyball were much better games.

I certainly see no point in bothering with DOAX2 now, though. It doesn't even work as eye candy anymore.

@marileninja Oh yeah almost forgot about that! Got a crazy phone call with a customer crying because he can't unlock Lisa's bikini #DOA5 -_-

That's a tweet from the Tecmo community manager. Frigging hilarious.

Blinded by the luminous glory that is David Bowie's physical manifestation.
Unrelated to DOA5 but I finally got my DOAX!

Too bad there is a crack on the top, hate the mail service here.

DAT CASE DAMAGE. :(

I remember when I forced my dad to buy the game for me, he was disappointed the girls were speaking in Japanese with no English option. Something that didn't effect me since I can't hear. :p

Also enjoy trying to get the Venus on the girls unless that Godhand method of doing tag team with DOA3 (with Zack filling in for Lisa?) works! :D!
D:!

patch really helped the online play. Have yet to encounter any visual lag, and input lag seems mostly gone. Even had 1 bar games that ran near perfectly.

It's weird to play with no input lag in most games. I had no problems before, but it still feels a lot smoother now.

Edit: I should clarify that I've still only played a few games, so don't take that as an absolute confirmation that the patch worked.

Ive been playing for the last few hours. trust me, it improved.
 
online play is much better now. only had problems versus people with bad connections before. now it masks those much better.

needs more testing, but it might approach VF:FS level. i played for about 2 hours.

Ayane's 66KK4 is now +1

They come out tomorrow. And they're kinda lame. I never really doubted the Kasumi/Hitomi leaks, but I'm a little surprised the Tina leak turned out to be real.
