how long until fanservice in games are completely dead?
Without fanservice I guarantee you there won't be enough cards swiped to keep the industry alive anymore, and it will actually crash for good.
>>747480272Who the fuck cares about competitive niggers???
everyone only plays the gacha so
>>747480272They said the same thing about 6. Game bombed and they still flooded it with massive amounts of revealing outfit dlc. All bs
>>747480739gachas are also getting more and more censored lately
>>747480635the 3 retards who believe anyone gives a fuck about their pathethic life for winning a tournament of 20 retards and a bunch of faggots in 4chan who fap to them
>>747480272>the gamers demanded censorshipwhat jewish psy-op is this.
>>747480272its already dead. only recent fanservice i've seen in games (non gacha or eroge) were done in dispatch and hades 2. both woke games.
>>747480272>Franchise gets popular because appeal to straight men >Stop appealing to straight men and pivot to Woke>Franchise dies>”Well we have to keep moving towards Woke because straight men were too embarrassed of being straight”Genuinely what causes this? Do they not want money? Do they not want to increase shareholder value? Money is on the fucking table and they refuse to touch it.
>>747480272>Gooner franchise>Let's abandon our fanbaseFucking retards.DOA cannot change its identity.
No joke this is going to kill the DOA franchise. No one is going to buy DOA without see appeal. The story was never that good.
>>747480272>players themselves feel embarrassed choosing those outfits in ranked matchesSo you're saying that you're designing a game based on streamers and the handful of "pro" gamers who get paid to not upset social media idiots?It's a bold strategy. Let's see if it pays off for 'em.
>>747480272>how long until fanservice in games are completely dead?It already is?
i thought gaming was "healing"?
>>747481293>>Gooner franchiseBut it wasn't. That happened much later. You're the one wanting the franchise to change it's identity. They're just changing it back to what it once was.
>>747481173>>747481293>>747481385>>747481396Who cares? Let them self-implode. We now have AI where we can just plug in a character and have it generate infinite porn with whatever outfits and parameters we choose. Just coom to DOA porn and let the retarded devs/publishers filter themselves out of the market.
meanwhile the new character Minato...https://store.steampowered.com/app/5123470/DOA6LR_Minato_Debut_Costume_Bundle/
>>747481403>It already is?Sire. . bad news. LotF2 is also coming next year. GTA6 will have you dress Lucia like a streetwalker too, it already shoves her ass in your face in trailers and previews. There's many more fanservice oriented games like Swords&Slippers coming out and the chinese have only started having fanservice oriented games like Tides of Annihilation, Wuchang, Nezha and another Stellarblade is coming as well. That's without mentioning that Mai Shiranui got her classic costume back and Tifa's jiggly chest is coming to SF6, a game where swimsuits already significantly boosted the player numbers.
>retards automatically just believing some random tweet that doesn’t even show who posted itI can’t believe you niggers are this stupid
The competitive FGC types are paedofiles anyway, so it's safe to disregard their retarded opinions.Anyway, they should add Amy into DoA 7, even as part of a mini-game or something.

>>747480272>how long until fanservice in games are completely dead?Completely dead? Never.Reach AAA levels of profit? Also never.Fanservice and gooner games are put in there for the love of the game, at the very least specifically in the western market where appealing to the neurotypical is generally frowned upon.
>>747480272What a fucking retard
>>747480775Not Venus Vacation at least. And as long as Koei Tecmo believe they can just section off all the fanservice in gachas, they will continue to reserve the “real” games for this global audience pandering. So honestly I’m hoping Google and Apple censor gachas more, to the level that Sony and Nintendo censor traditional games, so that the industry will stop treating gachashit as the containment area for fanservice content and trying to force this separation of audiences so that they can feel comfortable ignoring people who complain about their main games all being cucked garbage.
I don't even think the default outfits are particularly lewd...
If your game can't survive without fanservice it doesn't deserve to live.
>>747481815I heard cabbages are good for you.
>>747481876I would agree with you unless the fanservice is the point in and of itself.At that point you have an audience specifically there FOR the fanservice.
>>747481876Hi! Are you trans too?
>>747481876there's no game without fanservice
>>747480272This is called "I'm a Fighter" where, since the 360 generation, DOA temporarily does this to get into something like a big tournament or big convention that wouldn't promote it, and as soon as it's over and they get the promotion, the next DLC season is back to micro-bikinis and Private Paradise sets
>>747481816>Reach AAA levels of profitSo, negative?
>>747481876>if your shooter can’t live without guns it doesn’t deserve to live
>>747481672>AI fag
>>747481876>If your game can't survive without fanservice it doesn't deserve to live.Bold of you to use other people's money and IPs to confirm that theory.
>>747482000I think the statement he's making is more>if your shooter can’t live without COOL guns it doesn’t deserve to live...which is equally dumb.

>>747482110you are a faggot and no one cares if you die
What ceiling are they even aiming for? Even Tekken isn't doing that well with competitive scenes now.Do they think removing their series most famous aspect is just going to spring them past every game between them and Street Fighter 6?!
>>747481779Only a pedo tranny wants to play a game that is about paying real money for retarded swimsuit designs to play dress up dolly with underage characters with.
>"The small percentage of people who play competitively in person might not use extra features!" >Meanwhile the game that keeps Bomberman alive today is essentially designed as a gooner arcade meetup
>>747481730This board has a confirmation bias/only belives in the usual pushed /vpol/ narratives
>>747481892I like to cut a cabbage half in 3 parts,fry one side in a pot and then add water, seasoning and veggies and let that cook for 1-2 hours to get really sensational cabbage cuts that are a major part of the plates presentation.
>>747480920People that complain about gooners
>>747482049reddit is that way, bub.
>>747481892Great Vegetables.
>>747481876Better to make a game that panders to 1000 who will absolutely love it than 2000 who will find it meh.
>>747482186They probably saw that Bandai Namco shat the bed with Tekken8 and are aiming to dethrone it and take its place. The issue for DoA attempting that is that Tekken has never been a fanservice heavy game, and people who fancy themselves as being capital "A" Adults in the Tekken community think that bitching about the pixel tiddy makes them sophisticated and mature.
>>747482490oh fuck, what an angle
>>747482519Eat a bag of dicks
If KT can release the same games but different, then why can't they do that with DOA games of where there two versions of the same game>DOA7 (target for FGC)>DOA7 Hardcore(target for hardcore DOA with fan service and Itagaki style gameplay)
>>747482420>underageThanks for outing yourself as a troon. YWNBAW
>>747482593Ass, thighs, pantyshot and tummy is a pretty big combo yeah.
>>747481876If your game doesn't have fanservice it doesn't deserve to live
Koei Tecmo sold out years ago. Ryza 3 had 0 sexual jokes or fanservice.
>>747482667>This character is totally 18 years old, guys, so you're definitely not a pedo tranny freak to be attracted to this shit.
Never, fanservice for women and faggots is growing every year
>>747482707This, imagine not giving your fans what they want.
>>747482780True.
>>747480272Thank god they are listening to the subreddit!!
>>747482780>sees sexually mature woman>thinks about childrenWhy are you trans? Were you molested?
>>747482780Why did you post her image? Are you a pedo?
>>747482626If that's really what you're into, you should have AI generate that. You'll never find a bag of dicks in the real world after all.
>>747480272DoA lives and dies on T&A. No one plays that shit otherwise. Who the fuck would choose a rizz-less DoA over Street Fighter or shitass Tekken? Especially in a Fight Games market that is already HEAVILY oversaturated.
>>747480272>Game comes out>After some initial hype it dies down quickly>"Er... RELEASE THE SLUT DLC!">Suddenly release a bunch of slutty outfit DLC>Too late>Game diesSo basically they're doing 6 again?
>>747482438>>747481730>retards automatically just believing some random tweet that doesn’t even show who posted itIt's a real interview, see: https://www.ign.com/articles/dead-or-alive-6-last-round-project-manager-sparks-debate-after-revealing-koei-tecmo-is-dialing-back-the-games-sexy-costumesThat said, in response to >>747480920 and >>747481173 , I'm tempted to earnestly believe the dev's statement, because there's simply not much pressure to avoid fanservice these days: I can think of maybe a single article published by journalists over the past 5-6 years that took the old puritan approach of dunking on sexy women in games, for the most part these days journos (and LGBT activists, in regards to >>747481941 etc) don't seem to care, or even openly talk about being gooners themselves: Plenty of them were simping over Lady Dimitrescu and talking about wanting her to step on them, etcTo me, I think the dev is either being honest, or he's making excuses but is out of touch and doesn't realize that nobody overseas gets worked up over fanservice anymore and that 2014 was 12 years ago
>>747482437i feel like playing some bombergirl nowlets check the gameplay
>>747481876This.>tfw looking in the Metroid discussion threads>every fan of Ravenous says that they would rather play Other M than Prime 1 because the latter doesn't have fanservice in itThis is why I hate Metroid fans.
>>747481876You realize all those gay and virtue signalling games are in fact "fanservice" for the mentally ill LGTV+s and virtue signallers right? Fanservice merely means pandering to your target demographic with what they like to see.
>>747482707>>747482861But only the fanservice I personally like. Gotta mock the memberberries asnd other stuff to keep up appearances.
>>747482826>fanservice for women and faggots is growing every yearPlease don't talk about that, it ruins the narrative.
>>747483045Metroid fans seem pretty based to me
>>747481730>>747482438Why do people make self assured posts like this when they can literally just google search part of the interview and save themselves the embarrassment?
>>747480635compniggers have ruined EVERY single gerne they've toucheddeath to compniggers
>>747480272Didn't Dead or Alive already try this once, and had to walk it back because their playerbase instantly dried up?
>>747483008>So basically they're doing 6 again?Real DOA censorship has never been fully tried anon. The next time it will surely work!We're going back to the "GOOD OLD DAYS"™ when DOA fanservice never existed, the breasticles didn't breasticle at all and the game was only played by real men's men who scream themselves hoarse whenever they see a bouncing tiddy.
>>747483023They're out of touch. Atelier dev talking about how their approach to making new atelier games is to not think of it as making an atelier game but as an RPG for the "global audience" shows where KT is leading em.Or how they massacred Blue Reflection. Few of the woke fags or puritans will play the series because the first game is ultra lewd fanservice out the ass. But then they remove all of it in the following games which alienates the people who loved the first game.
But people definitely use those outfits in ranked?Do they mean in-person competitive?In which case you're usually playing on a game state that doesn't have your DLC costumes available anyways?
>>747480272It needs to be balanced, like many things in life.No matter how sexy and provocative you aim to dress your characters, if you're promoting a fighting game, i want to see the focus on the damn fighting. Yes, ninjas and lolitas in swimsuits, bunnysuits, maid outfits and whatnot are very much welcomed and appreciated, but1)if you're aiming for competitions, you're not gonna see them. People aim to fight and win at that particular moment, not to jerk off. That comes later.2)if the game in general sucks i'd rather not play it at all and enjoy porn fanart somewhere elseDoA is a joke, and the director is at least trying to correct that, late as it is. You may blame it to US-Euro political correctness/wokeshit or the series needlessly trying to go serious, but the truth is that compared to SF, Tekken or fucking Smash Bros, few people play this shit
>>747482780What’s wrong, not enough nasolabial folds and chiseled jawlines for your faggot ass?
>>747480272Wasn't trying to pander to competitive E-sports troons literally what killed DOA in the first place?
>>747481672Hopeless loser.
>>747481672Facts, if they want to burn themselves to the ground, let them. AI will replace all of them and it will only get better.
>>7474802721. fuck, it's overbut...2. why the fuck does use in comp matter at all? that seems like bs because their ENTIRE fucking monetization was selling skimpy outfits. Maybe just not as many people fell for their cashgrab and this is the fag taking his toys and going home, like "OH YOU DON'T BUY IT ALL WELL OK WE'RE NOT GONNA MAKE IT ANYMORE"
>>747483352Didn't read lol
>>747483425No need to announce your arrival to the thread, anon. We don't take attendance here.
Itagaki is dead and DOA died when he left Team Ninja.
>It's not used in competitive so it doesn't matterThis train of logic is just them testing the waters for just removing any single-player relevant content at all.
>>747483276which why this story is hilarious, anyone who bought DOA6 isn't afraid of ecchi outfits and don't prefer they be toned down even more or censored.It's just gaslighting, plus we know Koei Tecmo have taken ESG pledge and made satatements about toning down women (like with Dynasty Warriors).
>>747483618To be fair that’s been going on with fighting games for a while now. Single player in fightans is just viewed as a means to lab at best and esports niggers rarely if ever actually engage with the stories and characters, the characters are just “functions” to them.
>>747483690the only doa i own is 2i shouldn't have bought itfucking backstabbers
>>747480272Even if this is true (which it's likely not, he is just saying the "smart" thing to save face), Dead or Alive fighting games are dead anyway because they are just platforms to sell Marie Rose and Honoka costumes. DOA6LR still has bikinis in it, the game just sucks and they are only making it worse as time goes on.
>>747483690The cult of ESG is insane.
>>747483008They've been saying and doing this exactly the same way since vanilla DOA5. Gaymers are just complete retards with goldfish memory.
>>747484000>Investing firms who also happen to control the money supply gives out massive funds to make everything lame and gayIt truly is the worst dystopia
>>747483817Is that why no one but competitive players play now?Isn't that self destructive? Since competitive players are more likely to just play the game with the biggest scene anyways? As is evident by how centralized SF6 is now.
fgcfags dismiss doa because of the fanservice but the truth is that they dont like the triangle system because it makes them salty. fighting game players are similar to tcg players in that they only have fun with the game when it lets them combo out the ass and play solitaire against their opponent, so many modern fgs have a "your turn, my turn" type of flow. doa goes against this with the triangle system which introduces holds as a direct counter to strikes (because blocking is underpowered). the opponent being hit isnt completely helpless until you actually manage to launch them into the air so you cant easily convert a stray hit in neutral to a full combo like you can in games like tekken, and fgcfags naturally hate thatanyway, doa is allowed to die until theres a fighting game that takes up the legacy of the triangle system, until then its the only fighting game of its kind that should not be allowed to die
>>747484092>They've been saying and doing this exactly the same way since vanilla DOA5lmao this fukken tard didn't see or is lying. They weren't pretending. They were doing. They were reducing the jiggle, they toned down the costumes, they weren't lying. Only after seeing that the game literally tanked in sales did they turn around, and it was too late, the damage had been done. Spending 1 fucking year doing interviews and calling women with big breasts "inhuman" did serious damage to the IP.Expect that people who have been paying attention to this for almost a decade know and remember everything. They remember how KT shat the bed with 6 and now we're seeing a repeat performance.
>>747484284It's pretty retarded how so many fighting games have your character go limp the moment that they get hit, consistently fucking over heavies and overrewarding weak hits.
>>747483135Because of assholes using Twitter for shitposts & engagement bait. Not to mention some edit the screenshots
>>747480272>Make the game a arena fighter but keep the core Triangle system gameplay the same. Dead or Alive turning into arena figther really fits because the old DOA games always had random obstacles on the stage that can change the flow of combat so making that change wouldn't really be that big but big enough to catch the eye of casual players.>Add a strip grab mechanic so you can take away your opponent's clothes or add armor break mechanic similar to Soul Caliber and Fighting Vipers. You make certain characters' moveset completely change if they lose all of their armor or have a character who wants remove all of their clothing as fast as possible to get their full moveset or more damage.>Add something similar to Mortal Kombat 11's Variation system>Continue down the route of adding new and more character customization options by adding a breast and ass slider to all of the girls. I want to make Kasumi's breasts the largest>Add a dating system. I want date Kasumi.>Add the Volleyball spin-off into the main game. So FGCniggers can't escape it and so that Volleyniggers can't escape the Fighting game side of DOA. This change alone can save DOA in my opinion>Make the Story mode open world, make it similar to the Naruto Storm games' story mode where you can walk around the world and do random side quest.>add a bunch of other game modes, tournament mode(like Dragon Ball Tenkaichi), 2v2 tag, RPG mode, survival, arcade, endless, There I fixed the game by making it more fun. All Koei Tecmo have to do is put in at least 40% of their effort into DOA to get a player base. Just don't appeal to compfags because they go where the money is, these people don't play games because they like them. They play them for the tiny bit of clout.
>>747483023>there's simply not much pressure to avoid fanservice these days???
Outfits like Marie's leotard, Lei Fang's black dress, Tina's stars and stripes bikini, and the constant panty flashes that Kasumi and Ayane's classic outfits provided is a core part of DoA.If those go away, then it's just a regular 3D fighter like Tekken.
>>747480272>doa6 screencap>dates and sauce cropped outwhy dont you post the doa7 trailer you rage baiting faggot?
Damage is already done. If they want a competitive 3D fighter they're gonna have to make a new IP
>>747486787ThisNo self-respecting comp fightan league takes DOA seriously
>>747486436>???The south koreans are just bulletproof.
>>747481173If you go by the history of previous games' promotion contradicting itself between English and Japanese it's just western market PR spin for platform holder and/or publisher policies. Rather than saying your shit is censored for Sony just go "uh nobody wanted those chud outfits anyways" and see if it makes Resetera happy and hope they don't notice your Japanese live stream with F-cup model honkers on screen.
>>747481672>>747483468>>747482962AI porn video tech has gotten dogshit thoughYou can make images sure but after the post-grok meltdown where grok (and every other leading ai video generator) freaked the fuck out and implemented 300 layers of censorship the tech for videos is horrid now, and self-generation for vids just looks weak as fuck even with a 4090 rigDespite ai tech getting bigger and bigger the goon tech is constantly walking backwards
>>747486769At least they have a new art style. I hope they make it so a lot of the girls don't look the same. That and for bare titties. The 2020s is a different era. They can go further than they've ever gone before>>747486575Not really. It has unique things like not having a jump button and the triangle system.
>>747481672
>>747484447Is DOA the most mismanaged fighting game series of all time? I don't think it's had a single win in 10 years
From a gameplay perspective I don't know what the point of a new DoA is when it has to compete with a big budget Virtua Fighter that is expanding out into the cinematic action space that differentiated DoA from VF.
>>747482542What game?
>>747481173Part of it is the woketardlets get into positions of power, ether at the company or somewhere inbetween them and their customers. We saw it with Steam. That cunt that got herself into the review team and would hijack even other employee's reviews and hand out her own verdict before they could. And when she was finally told to fuck off we had outside forces crack down on it. They try to make it so the only way forward is to do what they want and appeal to them.
Sex nerd.
Wat types of girls would you want to see in DOA 7?
>>747487931You can have all the unique mechanics you want but visual identity is also supremely important to a fighting game.
>>747488259No, DOA is still here and making money via VV. Soul Calibur got killed death with deathkneel to the neck over and over.
>>747488580Oni please.
>>747488725Grappler?
>>747488872I like 3d grapplers but I am very open to any playstyle.
>Western devs beginning to realize the woke shit isn't working and going back to cool men and sexy women>Japan just now catching up with the west, a decade behind as always, are now censoring everything and making everything lame and gayTypical. The difference now is that China and Korea are stepping up and don't give a fuck about America.
>>747483135Because if you been here for longer than a few days you seen 90% of the threads now are just twitter post used for engagement bait for faggors to post on Reddit and Twitter. The faggot op should have linked the article instead of a cropped Twitter post
>>747489736>linkfuck off with your shilling
>>747480272didnt these games get popular by having decent main outfits for the characters and then they expanded on that? Just have a solid base design

>>747490886Nut outside Yukino.
>>747480272Then I will reduce my purchasing of it.
>>747480272>in future titlesI highly doubt that
Not really provocative outfits. That was more the result of capitalizing what the series was ACTUALLY know for, which was boob jiggle.
>>747490967Making a mess on Yukino.
>>747480272You tell me, some companies seems to have no problem with it, I don't know... seems like a problem for those who don't really want my money, I say, let them rot and give your cash to those who REALLY want it
>>747483023>doesn't realize that nobody overseas gets worked up over fanservice anymoreyou are fucking retarded if you think he cares about the audiencethis is purely done to appease payment providers, hosting platforms like steam and investors. it wouldnt surprise me if some oversees kikerock drone whispered into his ears that they wont get full investment unless they tone down fanservice.
>>747483045>>every fan of Ravenous says that they would rather play Other M than Prime 1 because the latter doesn't have fanservice in itbro that's ACfag

>>747491515>retarded twitter ape falls for scam that never comes out
>>747490676>>747490967Agreed.
Why would they waste bikini designs on a game no one plays when they can add them to this that actually makes money
>>747480272This is like saying that nobody buys swimsuits because you can't go to work with them.
>>747480272I want to say I hope they learn from the negative feedback on Minato but the fact this is their 2nd or 3rd attempt at this type of thing makes me think learning simply isn't something they're capable of

>literally the reason 6 flopped>hey lets do it again but worse
>>747483141This but unironically. They killed RTS which i am still sad about.
>>747480272LITERALLY made up excuse.Let me translate from compromised Jap corporate speak:>Our globalist overlords and the BlackRock DEI committee told us to desexualize women for no reason at all. It was not an order -we complied because we are out of touch, we live on a Plato's island, and according to the shadows on the walls of twitter, troons- I mean ALL PEOPLE hate beautiful women.
>>747484114You know, anon, I'm glad people like you actually know thisTired of shills who defend it and try to downplay it, but it seems like people who see this shit for what it is are getting louder - the fatigue is reaching even the normiest of normgroids
>>747487283That's because it's corpoJust gotta wait for a good local video model and it's OGRE
>>747486769This trailer was great because it was just Kasumi and Ryu but I know the game will be full of newer shit characters in the end
>>747480272Normal people are embarrassed by DOA but no normie will ever play this game regardless of how much you tone down the gooner aspects, it's a stupid idea to try.
>>747493756It's unironically because DoA MINDBROKE every goynalist, and japs think screeching on twatter is coming from gamers
>>747496843I can unironically hint at it to my semi normalfag friends and they'll know what I'm talking about without me having to spell it out for them. It's indeed getting louder.
>game known as the coomer franchise still chasing the FGC scene that shunned them(lol
>>747488364Haze Reverb
>>747480272I'm all for flooding the market with fanservice because moron hetero guys blow all of their disposable cash on slop because they see big honkers or whatever.So many shovelware titles get propped up by desperate losers that its almost a disservice to not part them with their money.Developing a game at the moment where gameplay is almost non-existent. Just put the women in bikinis, tweet 'if you don't like what we are doing visually, this game isn't for you' and then watch all the chuds wishlist it.Fucking pathetic gooners.
The Chun-Li incident must have spooked people more than anyone imagined....
meanwhile capcom and marvel rivals are making enough money to buy a city. this guy is a retard
>>747480272Considering that DoA literally sold on fanservice, this surprises me. DOA was always considered one of the weaker fighting game franchises, and it was the fanservice that carried it. The only way they’re surviving that change is they improve the gameplay and content.
>>747488389What incident was this?
>>747480272>>747480272That was never on the table. You are delusional.
>>747498837mature is 17+ not 18+
>>747480272always have beenWhat, you think shit like Onechaanbara and Senran Kagura was ever popular?You know what faggot, SoulCalibur and Dead Or Alive used to turn over a profit and had some clout because the games were well made. They were good games first and the fanservice was just the cherry on top and not the point.Since Team Ninja after Itagaki(and the people that left after him) is pants-on-head retarded and has been only making complete shit games, their IPs keep selling less and less. Same shit as with Soulcalibur, after 3 they decided to cut more and more shit out from every game until your full price purchase only netted you a skeleton of a game and thus those games started selling like shit, and rightfully so.
>>747480272What is wrong with Koei-Tecmo? They're now literally tripling down on Tom Lee's 'I'm a Fighter' scheme, and it's NEVER worked. Chasing eSports didn't work, despite further pledges to tone down the sexy. And now they're going to run it all over again and expect different results. The literal definition of insanity. If you count the 'disassociation' from Venus Vacation, the gacha that has literally funded the creation of DOA7, they're quadrupling down. The fgc faggots are NEVER going to accept DOA, no matter how much they pander to them. DOA is a niche fighter. It will never be generic boring slop like Tekken and SF.
>>747482780The fgc and western journos have NEVER complained about Marie Rose. It's always Honoka and the other tit-cows with 'unrealistic, porn-type' bodies. They're fine with little girls because they're all pedos.
I guess this means they'll stop milking Venus Vacation whales, right?
>>747500457they censored nioh 3 too
>daily telegraphThat you care and take such yellowpress shit serious says a lot about you.
>>747500186>They were good games first and the fanservice was just the cherry on top and not the pointIn the case of Soulcalibur, yes. DoA however always drew criticism for being. A mid game propped up by fanservice.
>>747500830>stop milking Venus Vacation whales
>>747500949I'm so sorry. Who are the SERIUZ GAMIN' rags that I should be referencing?
He's right, I don't choose the slutty outfits online because I don't want other men ogling my waifuOnly me
>>747480272people who play DOA competitively are genuinely retarded
>>747483023I'm not clicking on an IGN link nigger.
Keep on panderin'
>>747481173>Franchise gets popular because appeal to straight men >Stop appealing to straight men and pivot to Woke>Franchise dieswhy do you niggers lie so much?DoA5 bombed harder than any entry before, despite multiple rereleases and being multiplatform, and that was the horniest doa yet
You should stop building your worldview around clickbait headlines and being a retarded mouthbreather.
>>747480272You don't really need fanservice anymore when you can just have AI put any character in any outfit in any situation for a quick fap.
>>747480272The replacement by Chinese and Korean media will continue until morale improves
ai fags love steering any conversation towards AI its fucking desperate
>>747480272>players themselves feel embarassedI wish I could kill the fucking nigger game developers/suits who lie like this. Because this is just a straight-up fucking lie.
>>747502665>anon just realized these threads are all about the culture war and not whichever game is in the OPwoah...
>>747501134>"sexual assault, the game"but when a tranny smashes a woman's face with a volleyball it's a V for women?
Bonk.
>>747503534
>>747501386It wasn't horny until the woke 'I'm a Fighter' failed. They started the dlc when the sales numbers were piss poor. Maybe KT figures all the people who bought the $1200 of dlc for DOA5 have just migrated to VV and all that is left is homosexuals who are too embarrassed by sexy girls to be seen using them. Too bad those folks can just play Tekken or SF and don't want to play DOA because of the 'stigma'. They're chasing an audience that doesn't exist.
>>747503775The flat should fear the soft.
>>747504201>Maybe KT figures all the people who bought the $1200 of dlc for DOA5 have just migrated to VVthis is true tho, and the fact these threads are always VV imagedumping is the proof
>>747501386DoA5 bombed only on Steam, while it was the first DOA to be released in multiple platforms save for Nintendo the original DoA5 was Snoy/Xbox only. It wouldn't have bombed if it had simultaneous releases.Then the re-release were the same and Steam only had access to 5LR years later.It was already dead by the time it rolled out and their shitty DLC practices killed any further interest in the game. They did not learn when DoA6 came out and did not learn still with 6LR and those weekly rotation costume DLCs costing $20+.
>>747483023Summarize your post but add a cough after every second "the" and replace every comma with "howeverthough"
>>747502221>fanservice and porn are the same thingOh wow to think the censorship crowd still hasn't gotten tired of repeating this retardation
>>747504414And why did they go? Because KT bought into the idea that sexy and cool can't be mixed together, despite that being Itagaki's MO for years. They figure they know better than Itagaki, despite all the evidence that they don't and are losing money on every entry of the fighting game that doesn't have $1200 of sexy dlc to fall back on.
>>747504157>Stop exposing us chudNTA but YWNBAW. Fuck off to GCJ. /v/ will never become your troon colony
>>747505679>And why did they go?because if you just wanna see tits, a free to play gacha where the gameplay consists of sexy posing on the beach and stripper dances is an infinitely easier sell than a $60 fighting game
>>747498671Are you trans perchance?
>>747504157Trannies are the most core reason for why DOA devs want to tone down female characters.
i didn't even know it was a fighting game i thought it was beach volleyball or something
>>747506091And if you just want fightan', there's plenty of games with larger player bases and no sexy content at all to offend one's eyes. DOA survived because it had both, thus a 'niche fighter', just like Mortal Kombat and Soul Calibur
>>747480272So how exactly are they wrong for doing this? They have the stats. The most loyal players do not use the sexy outfits. Are you saying they cater to the casuals? To outsiders?
>>747480767This is 6
>>747498837It only spooked the ones who give a shit about fightan gaem tournament, which DoA will never be popular in
>>747508184They think they have to remove (censor) all fanservice to eliminate the 'stigma' that fgc faggots have towards the 'tiddy fighter'. It's wrong, but typical for KT's MO that they think making cosmetic changes will suddenly make DOA a mainstream competitive fighter. The fgc don't play DOA not because of tiddies, or revealing outfits which are usually locked in tournaments and no one is forced to use. They don't like it because they don't like the counter-hold system and they believe the fighting to be of lesser quality than Kekken and Street Trooner. They use the 'tiddy fighter' libel as an excuse for their lack of ability to adapt to DOA's different gameplay and to fit in with their elitist community.
>>747508184>A small subset of our consumer base doesnt like thing>The larger consumer base likes thing>Lets remove thingUnironically you will go very far in life retard-kun. I'm not even memeing. Only retards of your caliber get promoted.
>>747509678>The larger consumer base likes thingProofs? They harvest data. if dudebros who don't care for comp use them they would know.
>>747490732If the mods would do something, it could
>>747480272They've said this 3 or 4 times already for the past 15 years and then their next game turns out to be the most sexualized entry in the series. Relax, they're not going to do anything.
>>747508727If your fighting game isn't going to be at any sort of tournament, why does it exist?
>>747509796Oh we're playing this game. I forfeit. You win. Carry on.
>>747509796Someone post the $1200 of DOA5 dlc for this retard. You don't do that if it doesn't sell. What doesn't sell is DOA6(LR), which doesn't have that and is trying to deny that it ever existed. They're after the mythical 'Modern Audience' that Hollywood was chasing, that never materialized, and ultimately cost the industry hundreds of billions of dollars.
https://youtu.be/kPXz97d7ooYIt's not like it can't be played competitively.Anyway DOA6 is objectively the best DOA due to having the most ryona
>>747510140Sounds like the gooners are the myth really. They dlc they made are mistakes after all based on data.
>>747480272Lol what a bunch of losers
>>747510274VV makes money. VV makes a ton of money.DOA6 lost money. DOA6 in fact lost so much money they had to do a Last Round version that including next to no improvements that would have cost money to do, and was just trying to extend he dlc a little more and add the sales of another base full-price game to the DOA6 line so that 'DOA6' could be shown to turn a tiny profit and please the shareholders. Projects that lose money are considered disastrous, while even a small profit can be used to get next project green-lit. Guaranteed if DOA6LR doesn't put 'DOA6' into the black, DOA7 will be cancelled.
Remember DoA5LR?t. never played DoA6
>>747510661>VV makes money. VV makes a ton of money.Source?
>>747487283>>747497182Local is already great for video
>>747511824Koei-Tecmo
>>747480272It's KT, if they really meant it they'd EOS Venus Vacation or at least block anyone that bypassed the region lock.
>>747512268So no source?
>>747480272Did "core values" get to them that bad?
So who here actually plays Dead or Alive?
>>747512701I'm sorry, what source would satisfy your curiosity if the developer itself doesn't?
>>747512773No one actually plays Dead or Alive.
>>747512637If they believed it they would have ended VV before DOA6 was even a thing, but they loved the money flowing in from VV too much. Now they again think that if they just 'distance' themselves from VV that these >>747506475 people will be placated, despite the fact that those people won't accept anything but total conformity to their feminist ideology, as demonstrated by their attacks on Team Ninja for Venus Vacation's very existence, a game that was only out in Japan at the time.
>>747480272We're at the bottom. Gaming has been in decline since 2020 with the only "growth" being price increases. Gaming is hitting a wall thanks to AI making everything expensive and will lead to demand destruction once gas hits $5. The only people left will be gooners because sex sells. Some companies are slowly realizing this. Overwatch has basically been forced to make adjustments now that Rivals is eating their lunch. You are going to see it slowly creep back in as companies become more and more desperate.
>>747481958Hoping so
>>747480635I mean, fighting games kinda live or die by their competitive fanbase.
>>747498837Things got bad after this, also R.Mika cant use her default outfit cause of tournaments that were on ESPN
>>747499167chinks dont give a fuck about white women backlash, they are racking in money. Why the fuck doesnt Sony just copy that
>>747480272Never.
>>747482517You mean zoomers and newer generations that have had the misfortune to grow into a world where they were immediately brainwashed into only liking what is profitable instead of anything genuine and being convinced that these are original thoughts and not brainwashing?
Everytime I see Kasumi I think of THAT.
>>747480272Translation: We are forced to self censor or else women and trannies will cry on social media to "investors" and everyone involved to cancel us for being sexist and implying old, cancerous stereotypes
>>747513936Because Sony is in California now, where it's all about ideology and world-shaping, not making money.
>>747514353What is THAT? Is it the old flash game where she's tied up and you molest her in various different ways?
>>747514353the bondage flash game?
>>747480272it's like opening pandora's box. once you go full fanservice, they'll never let you go back. it's like a porn star trying to go legit. they'll forever see you as the whore who took multiple dicks on camera.
So the botspammer is only not spamming doa threads when he can spam his job required culture war nonsense. Interesting.
>>747512045none that I've seen, and if it was good you'd see it everywhere
>>747480272Never. Here's the new Borderlands 4 character:
>>747514692>once you go full fanserviceThey just made the games they wanted to make in the past, tranny
The games bombed because they're fighting games, nobody likes that shit anymore
>>747514774Isn't that game a first person shooter where you never see yourself?
>>747514705I love Kasumi!
>>747515020Is that so?
>>747514774>LOOK EVERYBODY BORDERLANDS IS TOTALLY GOOD NOW, BUY IT
>>747514858I only bought a physical copy of vanilla SF5 because they forgot to remove breast physics kek
>>747480272As long as males don't get chemically neutered by the socialist world order, there will always be fanservice games, because people buy them.
>>747480775>>>gachas are also getting more and more censored latelyOnly because of Communist Chinese feminists and the Communist Chinese government.
>>747514385Cute eyebrows.
>>747480272I predict in ten years, all female characters will be ugly as shit with no boobs bigger than an A-cup.
>>747481173>>747480272Why don't they keep the fanservice outfits for offline and non-rank games and design regular outfits for the ranked games?Gamers who want the fanservice costumes will have to pay for them and if they want to play rank matches will also have to pay for the SFW outfits.
>>747515707>Only because Communist Chinese governmentYou couldn't be more wrong. It's all because of western trannies>>747055265
>>747480635>I just lost 30 ranked matches in a row>let me go to the cosmetics shop and buy some new costumes!people unironically think this is how normies react to fighting games and don't just drop them. nerfs, buffs, and updates should be designed to cater to 70% pros 30% casual
>>747515780There will be no male or female characters in 10 years. All characters will be required to be androgynous 'Body Type A' and 'Body Type B' where the only difference is one is skeletal and the other morbidly obese.
>>747515170Yes, but RadiantEld sucks.
>>747516015Western transfemsinists are ruining the fanservice in Western games and sometimes gacha games. But in the East where gacha games are more prevalent, Communist Chinese feminists are ruining gacha games for straight men while the Chinese feminists are "fujoshing" to their male harems.
its crazy how consistently retarded koei tecmo is with dead or alive
>>747515780>in ten yearsWhat... all of this is already present
>>747480272>Marvel Rivals made billionsnever
>>747480635Bigger issue is that competitive niggers do not care about DOA so this is beyond pointless.
>>747516353Wrong. Take your meds. League of Legends was never woke or gay. It was owned by the chinese from the beginning. It only became woke after all the gaming tourists arrived after 2016. Western trannies did all that
>>747482517>zoomers indoctrinated into feeling disgusted about sex, bought and paid for by our greatest ally
>>747480272iuchi should never have been given another lead position, this is embarrassing
>>747483045>every fan of Ravenous says that they would rather play Other M than Prime 1 because the latter doesn't have fanservice in itEvery M is objectively a superior game.
>>747481672This. AI is the only way out of this, no one is coming to save your gooner ass and remove the censorship. Of course, someone out there will always make patches and mods for them but even those don't last forever, sooner or later they come for the sites that hosts those or they otherwise can't be kept up anymore because of the rising costs. AI is the only thing that can still make whatever you want to.
>>747483045Other M is fucking garbage stop trying to make it popular because of culture war shit. The game fucking sucks and Prime 4 sucking doesn't make it suddenly good.
>>747516423>It's crazy how consistently retarded Koei tecmo isyou can just end the sentence there.>DoA, remove it's key feature fanservice>Dynasty warriors disaster that is 9>Make a mainline Atelier game a gacha locking story behind a paywall of getting units>Release a dogshit remake of one of the most popular ROTK gamesKoei is just cooked lately.
>>747501386>DoA5 bombed harder than any entry beforeyeah because they completely dropped the ball with PR, they showed a censored and toned down game in the beginning that made it a departure from the IPdesperately pivoting doesn't work after the initial launch, damage is done
>>747483023Have you been living under a rock for the past 5 years?
>>747517371>>747517025>>747517072Fucking burn yourselves alive tk47
>>747483352Your mistake is in thinking that fanservice is a means to the end of jerking off.
>>747480272dead or alive 6 was just a dogshit game twicethe gacha is also dogshit
>>747481876Retard
>>747480635tecmo cares about them for some reason despite the fact they don't buy their games but instead either beg for it or steal it then go to twitch and play it 24/7 while begging retards for money because they don't have a job to pay for their rent.
>franchise known for gooning, cooming, fanservice, sexy, pretty girls>franchise also known for being casual with long singleplayer campaigns>NO WE WANT THE FGC MODERN AUDIENCE
>>747480272just in time for gamers to have access to AI game makers made by based asians so they can make games that will make fanservice of the past seem puritan and woke.
Tekken and SF6 also have fanservice, no? Perhaps not as extreme as DOA, but still.SF6 I think pandered to the safe horny crowd but I’m still not sure how Tekken managed to not get the media treatment that DOA got.
>>747517056Don't forget>Give out the Ninja Gaiden license to a studio that clearly has no interest in making a Ninja Gaiden game>Let them make a long-awaited series revival that has nothing to do with Ninja Gaiden and 100% guarantees the series can never come back againif not for Nioh i think KT would have stopped making video games many years ago
>>747518380There is huge incentive for both Crapcom and Bamco to monopolize the fighting game market.
>>747518380>SF6 >fanserviceLmao. Woke DEI slop
>>747518380because Tekken girls are mostly ugly and have inhuman ape proportions. Their hands are bigger than their head, their shoulders are fucking huge, their feet are Shaq size. And they all have the exact same body.
>>747518507
Okay but will I still want to impregnate Marie Rose, that's the real question.
>>747491887You just replied to acfag
>>747518656
>>747517056Also:Region-lock all fanservice games despite plenty of evidence that people in western markets would pay for them, and work to close loopholes that have allowed westerners to occasionally play those games, essentially saying 'Nyet' to millions in revenue, and all to please western feminists who still shit all over them for their region-locked fanservice games anyway.
>>747480272It's a lost art at this point. It's not just about the talent that got gutted and stamped out of the industry, but the mentality behind fanservice in itself requires a certain amount of naivete, something you can't have if you want to survive in a heavily corporatized studio.
>>747518960RetardEra bitches about it a lot because "male gaze LE BAD".
>>747511824failed game doesn't celebrate its 9th anniversary and invite their players to join them but we all know you're a retarded nigger faggot so it doesn't matter to you.
>>747518138The long single-player campaign was someone at KT being a huge Mortal Kombat fag (see also slow-mo attack animations in the vein of MK X-ray attacks, blood and bruising) and seeing how well MKIX was received and thinking DOA could do that, despite DOA having nowhere near the level of lore that MK does. They literally just copy what they think is popular and hope it will work. This includes some of the modern character and costume designs.
>>747480272Someone tell the japs DEI is ded
>>747481672>>747482519>>747482962Curse Vishnu
>>747480272Honestly by next year we can just shit out an ultimate DOA game in two days with all characters, customes and as much fanservice as you want. And maybe throw in the beach volleyball thing too and actual porn like illusionsoft gamesNobody needs these faggy companies for anything anymore. If they fail to produce just beat them to it
>>747519780It's not though. Not in the US at least, which is all they really care about. They're just waiting for Trump to lose power, then they'll come back in force. They're already bringing in socialists who want to micromanage people as elected officials. Once Trump is gone as a villain, they'll turn back to their social engineering.
>>747519780LMAO, I think you meant to say that japanese games are deadhttps://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/sustainability/diversity.htmlWoke DEI slop is here to stay, and it will only get far worse
>>747518656Is there a problem with wanting things for me and excluding others who hate me?
>>747519539>putting the santa dress on Nagisa to make her resemble Ada's picture morekek whoever made this was really desperate
>>747480272>Tourneyfags run everythinga tale as old as time
>>747520282Right, because you just ignored the other 5 examples, plus the obvious piggybacking on Mortal Kombat ideas?
>>747520362>Tourneyfags censored all "Mature" Resident Evil DEMAKESNow everything makes sense
>>747520178The ones who hate you are already excluded from SF6 because of the fanservice.
>>747480272>DOA>competitive playholy fuck lmao
>>747520507If you were to list all the things that got copied from Team Ninja's games by other people throughout the past two decades the thread would cap out first. People see shit they like and put it into their own shit, huge surprise.
>>747521507Adding things to your own creation is one thing. When the copy-pasta is all you have, it's just random shit thrown together in the hopes it makes a cake.
I like cute outfits. I don't like being nickel and dimed to get them.
>>747480635Competitive niggers are fucking cancer
>>747521870>just random shit thrown together in the hopes it makes a cakeEvery single western game
>>747506475They're still attacking the franchise. They used a Prism pic as an example of overly sexualiced game when it's tame as fuck and there are way, way worse asia-only games out there.
>>747517056Do not forget the recent Blue Reflection censorship which they basically forced GUST to censor the game with characters to not wear swimsuits despite saying "we are still perverts"
>>747522486That's because they're intimidated by a woman as attractive as Elise.
>>747519873>2023Data is old. I can believe the market has changed since then. But I do agree in some ways that AI can help in some instances, but it's not a magic box.
>>747522642They're afraid of the attractive alpha female
>>747522642>>747522865Luv me sexcretary
>>747480635The main problem and I can tell you this is accurate as someone who lives in America is usually due to the fact it's Sponsors and Tournament Fags overall especially people like Maximilian and Wong. The reality is Japan really believes in every fiber of it's being that somehow this is the only way this can work to make money despite Marvel Rivals being Self Hosted with E-Sports tournaments meaning they do not have to turn down fanservice at all in their tournaments or alter outfits and expressions. Koei Tecmo really needs to learn that DOA is not E-Sports. It never will be taken seriously, it just needs to be fun to play and fun to look at it.
>>747480272Something something we removed the underage pantsu from Underage Pantsu Quest 12.
>>747480272>pandering to retards who hate your productHow to kill a company in 1 easy step
>>747514774I she a magician too?
>>747483023It's some nonsense. Enough gamers do want lewd fighting games. However there is a larger audience for badass cool general audience fighting games. However koei tecmo doesn't have a competitive edge to make a fighting game that will beat Tekken, Streetfighter, King of Fighters, or Mortal Kombat. It makes more sense for them to try and make a game that appeals to a lot of people while also leveraging fan service as some successful game companies have already proven as a model. Tsuyoshi may be in denial because of their past mistakes and learning the wrong lessons. Or maybe he wants to see if people will say he's wrong and show they want DOA so he can prove it to the executives to take a chance on making another DOA.
>>747483141>compniggersI could swear theese specimens were known as tourneyfags or have I been living under a rock
Not a DoAfag but I jerk off to the blender shit, why do people always use Honoka and Marie in particular? Even Kasumi and Ayane feel like they get jackshit in comparison.
>>747480272I remember when back in February snoys were claiming that woke was dead because of this game being announced at the state of play. They really have been eating shit nonstop this week
>>747480272ha! i knew it, they are going to censor the next mainline game. and there were niggers here saying it wont be censored, eat shit and shove a dildo up your ass cause i was right
>>747521153There’s still a lot of safe horny in the game. Capcom are still trying to court that audience. They double dip virtue signaling and Jewishness by selling the better sexier costumes as not the default. At least it’s not GG Strive, ig.
>>747524639Biggest tits and smallest tits respectively
>>747524351Why don’t you have half the cast be badass cool males, and the other half be sexy fanservice babes? Fighting games used to do this. Why does it have to be one or the other?
>>747481876Hi sis, so true
>>747524639Because there's only a handful of DOA Blender porn makers, everyone else just uses the most popular girls aka Honoka and Marie Rose.
>>747524939Yeah, but it's still too much for ResetEra fags. (>>747519442)
>>747525085BG3 was too much for ResetEra fags.
>>747480272The anti-male cabal is facing a reckoning and we're on the verge of a fanservice renaissance.
>>747525227Actually, history might remember that we're at the beginning of it right now.
>>747522642>>747522865
>>747502646Nips lost
>>747525127You still get to see Shadowheart naked. They're not happy until everything that makes straight men happy is gone.
>>747509423Truthful post. Lord, I hate the FGC so much.
>>747518656Look twitter strawman unless you are a Japanese esports fan you probably have not paid attention to SF6 since 2 months after release when it was still very much a game focused on niggers and trannies that was only barely allowed to have Cammy's traditional outfit and not the subsequent Japanification of the game because nobody the fuck else plays it.It still won't stop adding browns for diversity points though.
>>747480272They'll just be dead in normal games.Fanservice moved to gacha because regular games can't compete. The Atelier dev said so.
controversial:you can have a sexy game without it looking like generic aninu slop you find on your cell phone
>>747480272DOA7, more like Dead on Arrival 7
>>747526537The biggest problem with Atelier is that they're not robust games. The alchemy system is novel, but the ways that you actually use the alchemy isn't terribly satisfying. Overly simple combat and premade bases, wow. And the fact that this is the norm for anime games is why people don't expect much from them.Gameplay is king. If you don't nail that, people won't show up. Some people will kneejerk to this, but the reason why the Genshin-like is so successful is because the whole gameplay loop is fun.
>dead or alive>but its a variety sports game>think like wii sports but titties>jet ski racing, volleyball, etcetc>can also still have fighting or wrestling as a game mode>also have an xtreme gravure mode or something, or a resort you can spend time taking screenshots of the girls between games>make billions on coomer skinsfgc fags will never buy your game so may as well cater to the crowd that actually will
>>747483141It's the complete opposite actually, casualfags are the reason why every game nowadays is some shallow pump and dump garbage that plays the exact same way as every other game and also the reason for why game journalists still have jobs. Total Casualfag Death.
>>747526557case is point
>>747527104>You share a board with tourneyfags who believe themselves to be victimslol lmao they're "pump and dump" garbage because they're making the game for compfags who only want to play VS online against humans. There is no single player content to be had or anything memorable that isn't a microtransaction hell.
>>747527642SF6 has an entire gay RPG mode instead of more DLC characters.
>>747527986This was of course after SF5 launched with nothing.
>>747498671No. I'm a faggot. Oversaturate the market to the point where straight guys money is stretched thin to the point where nothing actually ends up making a profit and things start going under.Hetero losers can't pay for 500 different OF accounts forever. Same thing for games.
>>747525330More specifically, that it began with Marvel Rivals, Stellar Blade, and gacha causing a cascading effect that spilled out to an industry that was tired of being so hated and unable to stand on its own without free money.I'm sure that Sony really wishes that their liveservice push was making gacha money.
>>747527006That's too based, the suits and the people behind the game and economics for the company HATE ideas like that, they HATE ideas that actually bring money to their company for some retarded reason.
>>747528265I don't think "compfags" were asking for broken servers or unfinished rollback either, the only people who wanted launch SFV were corporate execs looking at a calendar. And that was 10 years ago.
>>747527006The ultimate based thing they could do to immediately make billions and beat all the retarded prudes is do exactly this but also add the male characters into it.Video game journalists won't be able to say shit because they love when men in games are highly sexualised. If anyone complains they can just say "what, you hate equality in video games? you don't want to see sweaty Ryu Hayabusa doing push ups on a beach wearing speedos?"
>>747480272Dead or Alive fans aren't playing this game because it's mechanically better than the big 3.They're playing it for the tits.Because who gives a FUCK what skin is used in ranked. How well does it sell is the real question.
>>747528481Gacha’s ascendance is just leading to real games becoming MORE censored because the industry is pushing it as the designated containment zone for fanservice where they can capture and isolate that audience and no longer have to consider appeasing them for mainline games. They’ll give you sexy outfits and saucy brats in gachas while turning all their non-skinner box games into “global audience” pandering ESG garbage because they’re going for two completely different audiences with the same IPs. Because dumb fucking moebuta bugmen let themselves be isolated and removed market consideration like this.The only thing this can lead to is like >>747526537 said; fanservice completely eradicated from all premium games and made de facto exclusive to shitty mobile skinner boxes. The industry wants this, and that’s why they’ve been pushing gacha as THE station for all fanservice, ecchi and anime otaku catering, so they no longer have to care about those people interfering with their attempts to grab the normalfag audience with everything else.
>>747527642I am talking about video game mechanics, not slop content made for people who get "ranked anxiety". There hasn't been any game release in recent times that attempted to polish what the greats had done, they all have accessibility mechanics added for casualgoy shitters like you that makes everything homogenized. Can't have invincible DPs, can't have zoners because they're too unfair... hell I don't even need to bring up online games anymore look at the singleplayer shit, you don't even have cool gimmicks in those places anymore, can't have aggressive enemies, gotta add a parry mechanic and an iframe roll so little jimmy can always win over the opponent, fuck being checkmated for making 5 wrong decisions back to back, the enemy needs to get staggered as well, gotta add yellow paint and a vision that auto explores the little downtime segment because little jimmy might get bored from playing the fucking game for too long, can't have limited movement, you should be able to fly all over the fucking screen with 0 consequences and make sure to add more progression mechanics so little jimmy feels like he's actually good at the game, permadeath is NEVER OKAY, unless it's in a shitty roguelike filled with slot machine design, RPGs truly solved video game design when it comes to appeasing you faggots because every single garbage mechanic that comes from that filth spreads throughout the rest of the medium.
>>747527006>think like wii sports but tittiesLiterally make DOA Party.
>>747480920The warnings were in the subtitled version of the 1980s OVA Angel Cop.
>>747529227>designated containment zone for fanservice where they can capture and isolate that audience and no longer have to consider appeasing them for mainline gamesHere's the problem with that strategy: Men who like hot, feminine girls are the norm, not the exception, and the overwhelming majority of their potential customers who they need to save themselves are normal guys. The part of the story where the untouchables are contained and the modern audience floods in to bring customers in line with human resources and BlackRock is only happening on their whiteboard. The only two possible outcomes are to do a 180 on how they view heterosexual white male customers or die.There are plenty of signs that they're being forced to learn. Fortnite just got decensorship. How unthinkable was that a few years ago? And the hottest vidya Bond girl was in the last game in a bikini. And GTAVI, for all of its faults, is going all-in on THICC latinas. And Overwatch clearly wants to compete with Marvel Rivals.
>>747481672>>747517025>dude just accept my abysmal dogshit slop instead of demanding the quality you used to get from actual artistsEternal reminder that every single AIpajeet cope is indistinguishable from spiteful leftist rhetoric.
>>747483141Agreed, just look at Dead by Daylight. That used to be a fun and chilled party game and playing killer didn't feel stressful and full of anxiety. Now every game I play as killer is a four man swat team running all the broken and second chance perks and it doesn't help that there are a rampant amount of cheaters and 2v8 just destroying queues make playing dbd a chore.Thankfully the Halloween game came out so it feels my void of playing as the power role.
>>747531557made for horny men
>>747531312Samefag here. Fanservice obviously isn't the only way or even the surest way to bring in a normal heterosexual male audience. The safest bet is to make a masculine white male lead and place him into a gritty/heroic masculine story that revolves around men.But they don't want to do that for the same reasons that they don't want fanservice (because the industry wants its customer base to be comprised entirely of Lindsay Clancy supporters), and the day that they become okay with that again is also the day that they acknowledge what the spectrum of marketable female characters looks like.
>>747480272If the players at tournaments feel embarassed then just pick the vanilla or default costumes.Then they can pick pick the slutty outfits when they play offline, which I bet they do.The costumes in DOA6 were in many cases bland and uninspired, with many of the classic costumes missing.
>>747482780> "I'm Marie Rose! Fuck my ass till I squeal like a piglet!"What did Marie mean by this?
>>747533527The default costumes were made less revealing for that exact reason and no amount of Honoka bouncing around in a bikini would convince the censhorshit crowd the game hadn't changed.
>>747483274DOA5 turned into a DLC costume buffet, and had much more creative costumes than DOA6.It doesn't seem to have occurred to TecmoKoei that you can have sexy costumes that are also cool and distinct.
>>747533901and the first thing they did was sell the costumes again in DOA6 as "reincarnated" outfits or some shit.
>>747533527The players don't feel embarrassed. The lewd outfits are the most picked.The organizers are IRL sex pests who are engaging in moral cleansing by forcing everyone else to deal with a forcibly desexualized environment.Way more people (especially guys, which is a more important demographic for gaming than women by a mile) are bothered by the rules that have been forced on us than by looking at bouncing bikini boobs. People were dancing when Donald Trump was elected in part because they thought it was over.
>>747534162Cumilla needs more porn
>>747529456Anon you might as well have not bothered this thread and board is filled with the exact casuals that have not realized and never will realize that every company and game from 2014 and onwards is catering to people like them even as we had max simplification and anti noncasual in the 2020s.
Some of the sexiest costumes are not necessarily skimpy overtly sexual. IMHO Hitomi's steampunk outfit is one of the sexiest in the games.
>Compile heart bending the knee just so they can get their games published>Senran Kagura is locked in Marvy's basement>Most popular gacha games (that aren't 2D) are chinkshit, which have to use dogshit spats due to their shitty laws or risk getting the axe (see: SNOWBREAK)>Last bastion for FS games are low quality RPGmaker/Itchio/Unity games which are mostly just porn with anything DECENT at minimum coming out every once in a blue moon>All because of some group of investors, moralfaggots and women
>>747534207I'm not a PvP gamer, but whether they make the difficulty hard or easy, the fundamental problem with western AAA is that there are too many people in the decision making process who don't understand gameplay and might not even care. It's obvious that a lot of leads don't even play their own games, which is why they rely on customers to tell them when the game is obnoxious or boring. A professional industry would never have thrown its weight behind Highguard, which just sounds like a chore to play on paper.
>>747480635spbp
>>747480775What? No they aren't. Literally every character in NTE has either a bikini (real) outfit or a short skirt with panties (real). ZZZ also just released it's sluttiest character yet last month, Remielle, who's dressed like a $5 prostitute.Korean gachas are still obviously as horny as can be, even if they are only PNGs, like in Brown Dust 2 and Nikke.Gachas are still fine, and as the other anon said, still the intended safe space for horny designs.
Fan service is alive and well
DOA2-5 had long singleplayer modes for each character, DOA was never a competitive sweatlord franchise.
>>747535783…on the gacha plantation and not real games, just like the industry wants it.“Just play gacha” is going to become the Japanese equivalent of “just watch porn”. Go ahead and screencap this.
>>747524639I wish there were more of the other girls. In particular Christie, Mila, Rachel and Momiji.
>>747519873>>747531645Ok. Vishnu doesn't exist and neither does Shiva. What now you dumb redditard?
>>747535783I think that once you start getting phallic objects and loud allegories for sex, that's when you're actually leaving the realm of mass appeal.Nikke is where the border sits. You'll have billion dollar potential if you stop there.
>>747480272>T-the players made us change!holy fucking cope
>>747536604They're just lying like woke censors always do.
>>747535123>Senran Kagura is locked in Marvy's basementhttps://youtu.be/1AY3pl0vPVcSomeday we will see it come back.
>>747480775I will say we are seeing less Loli Characters than in the past, but I think this has a lot to do SK, CN and Japan having to deal with internal country pressure to not make as many and just focus on other types of characters overall. Fanservice exists, but anything bordering on explicit like Muv-Luv Girls Garden is just relegated to 18+ Gacha.
>>747480272he's right btw, DOA is a pretty good fighting game but no one plays it coz its reputation is terrible
>>747536003Unfortunately I can agree too many are kind of just porn and story just sucks. I would recommend Umamusume to you and to watch the Anime before going in. Honestly it's not too bad because the stories are not indefinite they end on their route, and overall I can say the main story when it ends.
>>747480272They already tried this with DOA6 and backpeddled. I'm sorry but if your game doesn't really do anything else to help it actually stand out among it's competitors, then you might as well keep the sex appeal in.
>>747537454Nobody plays DOA fighters because the latest game in the series is by far the worst, and the only game that is available multiplatform is on the previous generation consoles, has terrible netcode, and no lobby functionality on PC.
>>747538213Just say you've never played the games instead of spouting nonsense. Dead or Alive is by far the most unique 3D fighter and there is literally no other fighting game with anything resembling its core mechanics.
DOA just becoming a 3D beat um ala Taimanin/Stellar Blade is probably the best outcome for this series. Nobody fucking gives a shit about it as a fighting game. I would pay 60 bucks for an action game where Honoka was the main character.
>>747535123Senran Kagura was in a position of weakness because the games are 6/10. They're just too one-note. Those censors would have had a much harder time if the games were selling 1M+ copies. This is why every dev team, regardless of the narrative and aesthetic direction of their game, needs to learn the phrase "gameplay is king".Compile Heart was in an even bigger position of weakness because the games are 4/10.For Snowbreak, I don't think that it's the government's business, but putting a blowjob from a character who's flat chested and barely a hebe in an animation was an extremely high risk, low reward move in China. Especially when this wasn't the first time that they had been targeted.Have you noticed that they're not harassing Marvel Rivals and Stellar Blade anymore, at least openly? And how even the activists have to speak positively about anime? That's because they make gigabucks. The best defense is financial success, and the road to financial success is to put appealing aesthetics together with great gameplay.
>>747538334Yet no one talks about it outside of the volleyball games, it falls well behind other prominent fighters. Hell, even Virtual Fighter which has been a dormant IP for years is more talked about than DOA
>>747538405DOA evolving into effectively Ninja Gaiden 5 but with more characters each with interconnected campaigns culminating in Ryu's would be awesome.
>>747538405DOA used to be my fighting game back when I kinda played them. I liked the lack of projectiles and the stages in addition to liking the girls.But I'm completely in agreement that an action game starring Honoka is my dream DOA game.
>>747527468
>>747527006Would have been a great idea, but X3 was the first casualty in how fucking cheap Koei-Tecmo is, not to mention lack of vision. This carried over into DOA6 and DOA6LR and even VV. If it's easy and cheap to do, they're all for it. Anything that requires any cash investment at all, they won't hear of it.
>>747531557Those were 16 year old nipples
>>747532981Back then this kind of thing would have produced, at best, a roll of the eyes. Now it's treated as a crime against women and girls everywhere for which all men must repent.
>>747540058That's progress.
>>747480272KT will never stop chasing that esports dick, no matter how many times they're violently rejected.
>>747538213It does a lot that stands out, actually.The issue is, nobody who plays these games "competitively"(read: for clout) wants what they do, because shit like the hold system threatens their safety margin in matches.
>>747535783Fun Fact: Monica's VA did a voice in one of these kind of games.
>>747540826Which one?
>>747540906Don't really remember the name but it was this character.
>>747539961That's why X2 is better than 3
>>747540974Well that and X3 was basically a regression in every way except the models because KT were being cheap fucks that didn't even want to make another Xtreme game and only greenlit a shoestring budget, forcing Hayashi to cut a ton of content and replace cool stuff like jetski racing with a shitty rock climbing QTE.
>>747540948I think that's an actual full fledged game instead of a gacha iirc.
>>747540058Playing along with the eye-rolls is what gave Karen the power to make feminine women and fanservice a crime. People need to be able to publicly verbalize why something is good and should continue. If nobody will stand up for it when Karen wants it gone, of course "we have to get rid of this because it's embarrassing and sexist" is going to be treated as a positive in every possible way and will completely steamroll the culture.That's why you should personally be the one who says "it's not embarrassing, it's hot", "she's not annoying, she's cute", and be ready to rip feminist hypocrisy to shreds. Just having one person in the room who will say it shifts the Overton window significantly. Unless you're fat, unkempt, and bad at speaking. In that case, just stay quiet and hope that someone who's presentable says it.
I really don't know why KT is obsessed with being taken seriously rather than embracing their niche.
>>747541836The people that they want to be taken seriously by are the dumbest and most vapid people on the planet, too.If you want prestige, especially with the consensus-obsessed NPCs, you basically automatically get it after you pass a certain threshold of cultural relevance. That's where you get the "sexist character for incels" to "feminist icon" pipeline enjoyed by characters like 2B and Eve.
>>747513752>fighting games liveno, the best thing they could do for DOA is make it a soulslike
>>747480272A cock makes 1000-1500 swimmies every second. They gotta go somewhere. So, never.
>>747516757>>zoomers indoctrinated into feeling disgusted about sex, bought and paid for by our greatest allySo jews are supposedly pushing porn and sex, but they're also pushing zoomers to feel disgusted about sex? Which is it?
>>747541836KT does this song and dance each time a new DOA game is getting ready to come out. Everyone sees through it though.
>>747537673Everyone always says their one chosen gacha is different from the others, and it's never true.
I wish there were more normal porn of every DoA girl, mostly XVV
>>747542282Say no more
>>747480272One day, my beloved, one day you shall return... Christie' shirtless blue flame jacket outfit is fine too
>>747480272does the GFC still allow you to play arcana heart 3? esports was always filled with a bunch of faggotry anyway
>>747480272it's cute that they think their game is still relevant
>>747527104You need a balance. A game for everyone is a game for no one, and it's fine for games to have niche, non-casual audiences if they aren't looking to make a ton of bank in that field, but don't think for a second that the MLG compscene wannabes are the ones keeping games alive either; usually they are the least money expending for your game, and promote nothing but awful behavior from everyone involved while being toxic positivity for their corporate sponsors and products.Without a balance, you're fucked. It's both sides that have issues, and you lean too hard in one direction, you either fuck up the other, or burn both.
Why don't they just cancel DOA7? Surely they can see from how 6 LR flopped and all the recent censorship news that no one will buy it.
>>747543041Pretty Kasumi-chan, the old models were just the best. It's not as much of a 'sexy' look but for me it's this outfit for her sis.
>>747541836They're part of the ESG crowd, who are all reading from the same script. How many times have we heard Hollywood and tv execs saying X movie or show, based on a popular IP, isn't for old fans of it, that they're updating it for 'modern audiences'? Old fans who voice disapproval of the changes, which are always the same, are labeled as 'haters' and 'not true fans', and are not needed because 10 new fans will support it for every 'troll'. The trailers get ratio'd to hell, the ratings are shit, the movie loses money, and the same people blame those old 'trolls' for it all, despite having told them they weren't needed and the updated version 'wasn't for them'. The mysterious failure of the 'modern audience' to show up and support it is at best vaguely based on them being duped by those 'trolls' who review bomb the thing, and the 'modern audience' is apparently duped into believing it every time. This is exactly how KT has been treating DOA and its established fanbase since DOA6 - Game isn't for old fans. New fans will outnumber them. Game sells like shit. It's all the fault of the old fans who only play VV. They're not TRUE fans. Where's the modern audience? Don't know. But we'll pander to them again.
>>747541836They don't care about being taken seriously, they simply want the presumed income of chasing a trend. E-sports was expanding massively just before Covid and that's when DOA6 was rolled out. It just so happens that SF6 blew up in popularity in Japan this past year and suddenly K-T wants to roll out DOA7 AND they're preempting it with a "revival" of DOA6. Neither of these are coincidences.
>>747542732Well it is if you are looking for a thing without porn and wholesome fanservice, drama and idol concerts. That's the distinction.
One thing i still am mad about to this day is how far technology has advanced since the days of Senran Kagura and Neptunia on the PS3 and midway through the PS4 and with PS5 we really could have had something had Sony not been stupid about Fanservice, Japan Studios etc. With the PS6 and next generation of PC hardware coming up in 2028 it really makes me think we really are going to miss out on the best Fanservice Games or even good AA games ever sadly. It's just wasted potential. Especially when AI will be able to run locally.
>>747541836It's all about E-Sports and we'll they want that sponsorship money and wish to be taken seriously by a declining FGC base. Everything outside of SF6 is basically dead at this point.
>>747480272The source in japanese btw:https://www.famitsu.com/article/202609/86973So yeah, i don't have any hope for DOA7.
>>747480272It's fucking bullshit, many tournaments have to BAN certains costumes because they know players WILL pick them because unlike them, players don't give a shit about hurting the feelings of a loon on the internet.
>>747525064>Why don’t you have half the cast be badass cool males, and the other half be sexy fanservice babes? Fighting games used to do this. Why does it have to be one or the other?I think you're right. That's pretty much what they did for the most successful DOA games. Balanced fan service plus cool guys and good action. The challenge is that it's a bit of a detraction for some people and a compromise can be harder to pull off so it's not a let down for every audience. The ones who want naked lady sexy fighting are a little disappointed when there's a cool male fighting. The ones who want serious cool fighting are a little disappointed they aren't fighting a serious opponent and instead they're basically a naked sexy model. Kids who would like the game can't buy it in a lot of places. People who want all out porn aren't happy, neither are people who want pure cool action. An effort has to be made to balance it or allow customization of characters so how it works fits what the player wants. Other games are doing it already with a fair balance. DOA has lost the overall advantage of hot girls with a touch of fan service, because other games are competing with that as well somewhat. On the other side indie porn games can go more pornographic than Koei Tecmo is safe doing. It's a tough situation. I wouldn't blame them for playing it safe and focusing on different games rather than risking massive amounts of money on this.
>>747545074>It makes other people uncomfortable!>I'm uncomfortable with feeling like I'm being watched by human resources.>You're the wrong kind of person!

Why not just have a FGC costume?
/v/ fooling itself into thinking doa7 is gonna be censored just like doa6 all o er againsome of the people on this board are so dumb i hestitate to call them human
>>747545856It’s a shame because it would please the vast majority, but all the problems you listed are because of external societal factors. Teens can’t buy healthy fighting games due to authoritarian payment processors. Young males are afraid of fighting against sexy women due to feminist conditioning. Fanservice in general is met with a skepticism of “just watch porn” (even though there is absolutely no market for high budget porn games, and the conversation seeming to possibly intentionally lack the nuance to distinguish between hardcore and softcore)Though I will say I haven’t seen much of the “fanservice sexy people being disappointed fighting cool males”. Closest think I can think of is Chinese rage at males in gacha games but that’s not really a thing in the FGC.
When it gets right down to it, there's no such thing as a true gender neutral space. You have to make a choice about what happens when Joe the dock worker wants masculine edge but Karen is over there talking about how she's uncomfortable with everything that Joe wants, or when Karen wants a character that will get on Joe's nerves.The industry keeps siding with the women and expecting the men to just keep subsidizing them like back when men were the priority.>The solution is to always try to sit right in the middle and be terrified to say anything about anything!That just makes for boring media that nobody wants. The industry needs to stop acting like focus-targeting men and treating that like their bread and butter is some kind of great moral failing or like it's keeping out the mythical 50% of gamers who are women.
>>747480635Because of those shitters we got soulless sfv ui
>>747537673>I would recommendDon’t. I will never indulge gachashit. Ever.>>747538679Nintendo censored Dispatch and that’s a well known capeshit game. And during their peak censorship years Sony were censoring games as big as Devil May Cry over completely innocuous shit.What you posted amounts to just victim blaming. Senran Kagura could have better gameplay than Devil May Cry and it still would have been censored. Not to mention how hard it is to be able to find the budget to improve when so many people and organizations are trying to suppress you because of your fanservice. Without, of course, acquiescing to them and dropping the fanservice, and even then they will still treat you like shit just because you used to do fanservice. Compile Heart are trying to pass off Neptunia Unlimited as Neptunia Genshin Impact, and yet their games STILL sell poorly and get dismissed by Reera and Reddit as diddy blud loli rape simulators.>muh Stellar BladeFunded by Sony money and still got censored on release. Not to mention “realistic” games almost never get targeted for some reason.
Which way, young man?
>>747544226Mel Kishida brought this up in the stream announcing Blue Reflection Quartet (and it’s 4Kids-tier censorship). How by all rights they should have been able to IMPROVE things like the wet clothing physics and other things with technology that wasn’t available to them in 2017, but because “standards have changed” it just gets neutered or removed instead. All this fancy tech around us and yet we’re forbidden from using it for anything but ugly AAA garbage.
>>747486436>>747517371>Have you been living under a rock for the past 5 years?Have you? When was the last time you saw an article from Kotaku, Polygon etc and the like whining about women being sexualized in games?It's simply not something that happens frequently anymore, I saw one such article like that 6 months ago and was shocked because it was the first one I had seen since like 2020, if not earlier. >>747491587>this is purely done to appease payment providers, hosting platforms like steam and investors.This is a valid concern. I was tempted to reply to this with some skepticism since Visa and Mastercard don't tend to make a fuss about sexy outfits in games specifically much, but I guess some of the DoA girls are anime stylized and young looking and we've seen how they've pressured Steam to be inane and inconsistent around those things(and to further back up my point about how journos/lgbt types tend to not puritans these days, I will note that when Collective Shout was in the news encouraging Visa and Mastercard to blacklist things, I saw just as many trans furry gamedevs telling people to rally against them and their censorship as I did right leaning anime avatar cunnyposters)>>747483276>Few of the woke fags or puritans will play the series because the first game is ultra lewd fanservice out the ass. But then they remove all of it in the following games which alienates the people who loved the first game.My point is that "woke" people these days aren't even anti-fanservice. The biggest coomer simps I see on twitter are lesbians and trans people. I think Japanese developers simply didn't get the memo, or are doing what >>747491587 alludes to to try to avoid issues with payment processors and Steam, and I guess maybe Nintendo and Sony's censors since those are still seemingly a thing too (jn fact Nintendo has done censorship more the past 5ish years then in the early Switch and WiiU era)
>>747549979The fact still remains that there are like 10-20 costumes that are super sexy, those are the ones that everyone uses and that the game is famous for, and that it hit enough of a critical mass that game journos are pretending like they were on our side all along.Why are you so unwilling to admit that there's been progress thanks to a few big hits giving solid evidence that this is where the market is? It's been censorship that's been the norm for 15 years. What's new is that they've mostly backed off from the moral condemnations of normal guys (for example, these fags going from babbling about core values to trying to pretend like it's because the players want it), have switched to pretending like it never happened or like we're in a more moderate woke 2.0 (which is just turning down the water for a minute because the frog is ready to leap out of the pot), and are actually making concessions like decensorship and putting bikinis in games. Have we won? No. Is the momentum moving strongly in our direction on every metric? Undeniably.
>>747550986I think Lords of the Fallen II is the game that will make the frog leap out of the pot. It will get more vicious attacks from journos then even Stellar Blade did.
>>747550986>Why are you so unwilling to admit that there's been progress thanks to a few big hits giving solid evidence that this is where the market isBecause just a couple years ago (the same year Stellar Blade released in fact), one of my most anticipated ecchi games got so heavily censored, suppressed and banned by every storefront that it could only release unaltered on a USB stick. And it was nothing more than what was simply common in Compile Heart Vita/PS3 games, and which Sony, Steam, and Nintendo all already have and selling games from the same publisher with similar if not nearly identical content from a few years ago, and yet acted like Tokyo Clanpool, a typical CERO D Vita game port, was the next fucking RapeLay. The same year ports of fucking tame Neptunia games were canceled or censored on Switch resulting in the kong-awaited for new mainline game this year being neutered even further.NOTHING has gotten better for the games I care about. Only worse. Way worse. But sure, keep holding up your safe horny garbage as if it’s the vanguard of the counter revolution. I know better, because I’ve had to experience everything I care about getting attacked from every angle with the attacks only intensifying every year. I hate this industry and I wish it only hell. I’ve had to effectively bury my hopes of ever getting Castle Panzers or a new Gal*Gun game because of all this shit and yet I have to deal with ignorants like you telling me just two more weeks for the ecchi revival, trust the plan!
>>747483076>AnthemAt least DoA 6 is still playable, even though 2, 3 and 4 are still vastly superior.
>>747550540The usual suspects bitched about Lords of the Fallen II recently.
>>747551562Taiwan might be your savior.
>>747519442>someone got a Ph.D. writing about "the sexualisation of female characters in fighting games"The academic sector in 202x is a cancer upon mankind.At the very least, stop the funding of the """humanities""".Their mere existence is already killing the hard sciences, because who could reasonably be against """social justice"""?
>>747551551I think that if Intergalactic flops (I see no reason to believe that it won't, short of rigging the sales), that will be the killshot for ugly female protagonists. No more pretending like there are 50M people out there who want this trash. People played TLOU for Joel.>>747551562Like I said, the censorship push has been going on. The backpedaling and self-moderation is what's new. If the censorship dies down in the mainline industry, it'll definitely die down on the fringes because society will have agreed that catering to male sexuality is acceptable and that fiction is just fiction.And Neptunia is an easy punching bag for the censors because it's not like Sony or Nintendo are going to lose a bunch of money on it. That's not victim blaming. I'm just pointing out that when you're dealing with censors, obscurity means that they can stomp you out without much drama. When you're under attack, you need a tank, not a tricycle.
I wish they just canceled DoA 7. Literally a game for no one.
Triple A fanservice games might die, but Indie games will gladly pick up the slack. At least until porn is made illegal. Assuming porn companies don't bribe government officials with their endless coffers.
>>747550540>Have you? When was the last time you saw an article from Kotaku, Polygon etc and the like whining about women being sexualized in games?Well, they won because all games are now woke, DEI slop and self-censored from the beginning. They've infiltrated every gaming company, even Nintendo
>>747553973Some games like Rivals slip through the cracks. There's usually 3 fanservice heavy skins at minimum per season.Some people bitch about it, but are soundly ignored.
>>747554114Rivals slipped through the cracks because it's Chinese. The only censorship there is from China themselves, not wokies.
>>747550106Nyotengu, because she will let y9u play with her toy.
The industry needs to start signaling internally that they want crazy ideas and internal criticism, and that HR has been instructed to get out of the way of creatives. Keep the Karens around for a minute.The artist who confronts the Karen project manager with the fact that her changes will kill the studio and that the sexy design is a good thing because men like it gets a promotion assuming that he's talented. Karen gets the boot as soon as the leadership search is over.>NOOOO YOU CAN'T LABEL MEN LIKING SOMETHING AS AN ATTRIBUTE THAT'S POSITIVE ON ITS OWN>YES IT IS INHERENTLY GOOD TO CATER TO WOMENI want to hear them say that as often and as publicly as possible.
> P1 Default costume> P2 Default costume> Cool costumes> Themed costumes> Fanservice costumesGenerally, there are enough costumes to make not picking FS costumes at FGC not an issue.Just issue out a set of requirements in terms of what tourrnament players select, or have the copies of the game used for FGC have fanservice costumes locked off.
This series lives and dies on provocative outfits.DoA was always a middling franchise though. Wish we got more Rumble Rose instead.
>a full day long doa thread>but the bot spammer was not posting any images>instead he just made his bots argue with each other about culture warDead website.
>>747483045Do you only realize NOW that Metroid is a Shantae-like?
>>747555301Or how about stop letting unpopular authoritarian fringes that are filled with hypocrites and NPCs control your industry? The slippery slope is not a fallacy when you're dealing with them. They need to be treated like pariahs.
I love Kasumi!
>>747556004The sisters got the biggest downgrade from the artstyle shift and it's not even close.
>>747556004I love Tamaki and Amy!
>>747557079Most of the DOAX originals don't stand out at all. I only like purple princess and the new girl who looks like a bigger Marie Rose.
>>747552143Some of it looks incredibly stupid
>>747480635>>747480272I stopped playing fighting games when they started focusing on eSports Faggotry. We have not had a good fighting game since ARMS.
Purple woman.

>>747480272>v and pol celebrates sharia>somehow gets mad when sharia hits them
>>747550452I agree with him completely. I do not blame GUST but Koei Tecmo. It's so obvious we could do so much more today and we do not have access to great things.
>>747557521Nut inside purple woman.
uhhhh purple woman (﹏)
>>747559551fucking 4chains stripping my unicode characters
fanservice will never die
These two work well together.
>>747559738I'm still surprised someone saved that pic.
>>747559780Hair down Yukino sexo
>>747559871Identifying boobs.
We managed to have one DoA thread without the spammers ruining it.
>>747559620This game looks super mediocre.And for that reason, I don't think that it'll do great.The #1 thing that any developer needs to focus on regardless of anything else is the gameplay.
>>747560153Instead eh ruined it with culture war bot spam.
buttes
>>747560214I ignored every post without a doa picture attached.
>>747560178gameplay looks to be a decent character action gamethat's a pretty sparse niche, you can get away with servicable
>>747516015Its both. Cleavages are downright illegal in chinese television media, only a matter of time the same ban extends to games.
>>747560312That's like 20 posts total in the thread then haha.
>>747560250Et tu, DoA?

>bump limit reached>barely halfway through the image limitlol>>747560412post more tanned nurse in raise the sail-lite.
>>747480272didn't they already try that and had to backpedal because nobody bought the game?
>>747532981You say that, like it was a bad thing.What's wrong with you?
>>747560498I don't have raised sailed for her. There is another thread up btw.
>>747480272Most of the costumes are shit! That's the problem. Sure all need a school uniform, and a couple of other staples, but do all really need a white t-shit and hotpants combo? A jeans overalls combo? So many of the outfits are just shitty copy paste across all the characters. Make actual bespoke unique costumes for everyone isntead of the slop job.
>bot almost isnatntly started spamming the new threadNOOTICINGPaid shill to shit up the place and make people angry. Appreciating waifus in peace is counteractive to that.
>>747537453Is Marie a loli character? That's all I care.
