![]() This gave me limited time to be able to access the online portion of the game, which was fine, provided people had good connections, but with Ranked Match being the only option, I’m not exactly fiending for multiplayer unless it’s locally with some friends. It should also be noted that prior to the actual launch of the game I could not find a single player to play a Ranked Match with. So after about thirty minutes or so (on a PS4 Pro with a hybrid hard drive installed) the rest of the game became available, although not quite, because some stuff was still locked behind a day one patch that wasn’t live until just before this review was written. Worst of all, there’s no sense of progress with this installation. So when Dead Or Alive 6 starts up, it starts in a sort of demo state, where most of the game modes are locked out, and only four characters are available to start, no Story, no DOA Quest, no online, just training, and local quick play. But when your game goes through the standard installation process in the PS4 cross-bar menu, and then I start the game, I’m not expecting to get hit with round 2 of installation. In the current era of gaming it’s not uncommon for day one patches and install times, and I get that. ![]() While titillation was their name of the game in the past, (thanks Steven Totilo for reminding me about the ‘She kicks high’ commercials of DOA3) Dead Or Alive 6 seems to be following the trend of DOA5, where the combat is front and center.ĭead Or Alive 6 didn’t really get off to an auspicious start with me. For all the debacle that was EVO Japan and their stage performance, Team Ninja has put together once again, a competent fighting game that almost anyone can pick up and play and have a good time with. So when Koei-Tecmo dropped this one on my doorstep I was like, ‘Well at least NiCO looks like fun.’ And that thought process of stinkin’ thinkin’ wasn’t really the best way to approach Dead Or Alive 6, not after some quality time with it. Dead or Alive as a series exists to me at that intersection of franchises I am a casual fan of, and will play it when it’s presented to me, but won’t actively go out of my way to get the latest title.
