Smokey Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Anyone a fan of this fighting game series? I really got into it on the Dreamcast back in the day with Dead or Alive 2, and then bought the enhanced edition on the PS2 when it came out. I really liked it, unfortunately after the 2nd game, the 3rd and 4th games were xbox and xbox 360 exclusives respectively, so at that time I didn't get to play either of those until years later when I got my 360. I'm looking forward to the 7th game coming out in a couple of years. I still play DOA2 on my Dreamcast using a fight stick to this day. Are you a fan of DOA games? Who's your favorite fighter? I usually played as Zack and annoyed people I beat 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I honestly never played Dead or Alive myself but my brothers played it and it did look like a game I would be interested in but my brothers being how they were back then wouldn't always let me play so I gave up and never bothered. I would love to play them though at some point if I am honest. Smokey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Dunno how good it is quality wise, but DoA 3 was the last fighting game my brothers and I played together and we had a ton of fun playing two of us vs the AI, and the times we beat each other up. Gonna have to go with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a few of them on the 360/Xbox One and are usually pretty cheap 😛 Shortie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to be able to play a game I never was able to and it would give me something different to play if I am honest when I feel l like a change from the usual.

killamch89 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) I started playing Dead Or Alive on the original PS1 and I've played almost every single game. It has its flaws but I thought the characters in the first 4 games were actually pretty unique in terms of fighting style and personality. 5 and 6 kind of disappointed me though but Team Ninja says there's a reboot in the works so I hope this revives the series. Unlike a good amount of people who played it, I didn't play it just to see the female characters' assets jiggling.

I once convinced my mom to let me buy DoA2 on PS2 because it was a cool fighting game, but in reality I was a stupid kid who just wanted to look at the jiggle effects. When I went to the store to buy it I felt so embarrassed that I just never got it. I got 3 when I started collecting Xbox games awhile back and had a great time in the arcade mode. Super impressive graphics for the time, and it feels really fast and powerful to play. As for favourite fighter, I'm pretty sure I played Hayabusa the most, and then maybe Tina? I wish I could remember what I bought instead... Edited December 21, 2022 by Tonberry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's okay if that's why you wanted to buy it for the jiggling effects but I was just saying that I actually liked it as a fighting series. I was exposed to a lot of stuff as a kid so things like that didn't phase me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I didn't play many fighting games at that point (It came way later) so I wonder if getting the game would have made me a fighting fan earlier.

It's always been a solid series and probably the most realistic one out there. You didn't have any super powered demons like Kazuya and his bloodline from Tekken, a Soul devouring demon like Knightmare from Soul Calibur or anything of that sort. Just humans with exaggerated (more on the moderate side but still) athleticism - that's mainly why I liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
