   Are people just reading the somewhat negative notes about this game and making bad reviews over it?
   
   First off - I own the ps4 copy as well.Are people just reading the somewhat negative notes about this game and making bad reviews over it?
   
   First off - I own the ps4 copy as well. I bought this version as DOA is my favorite fighting game of all time and I want to play it when I travel on my laptop. Here's a little detail about the difference between the two versions:
   
   Graphics:
   Don;t be so quick to dismiss the PC version. The graphics are basically equal on both versions (But I get a better framerate on my laptop). All this noise about the soft engine and some items being equivalent to the ps3 version is totally crazy. MAYBE if I bring my laptop downstairs and pause both versions side by side I'd see a difference....no guarantees. Giving this game a bad review due to the lack of the soft engine is like hating a hamburger because the bun has 2% less sesame seeds.
   
   ***Quick side note - I bought the story mode on PSN because I thought you needed it to get trophies....but there aren't any on PSN either. Very strange as I thought every playstation game was required to have them.
   
   Online:
   No debate here....PS4 has full online with the cool share button features as well. No steam online for 3 months which would make this a terrible purchase for you if you only play online. I mainly play local competitive or arcade mode so I'm not missing out.
   
   Random thoughts:
   The loading time in the PS4 is surprisingly good, but not nearly as nice as having the game installed on your SSD. Game is extremely fast on steam!
   
   I have the wireless 360 controller for windows and it works flawlessly. No strange button maps here.
   
   I'm using a laptop with a nvidia 770M (Which is low/mid range compared to desktop cards). The game runs flawlessly @1080p and I never see any slowdown.
   
   People still care about steam achievements??? They're so useless O.o
   
   Anyways... I do agree about the online functionality. Hopefully that gets fixed sooner than later. But all these other complaints seem really unnecessary. Go out and try the PS4 version if you really want to see the difference in graphics. The game play is identical, with the exception of the better loading times which makes a big difference for me.… Expand

   It's great. It's the best game I've ever seen. The picture is exquisite, the movement is smooth, and the design is exquisite.

   Couple hours in, Dead or Alive 5 is amazing!
   Forget the people complaining about poor controller support and lack of achievements. My xboxCouple hours in, Dead or Alive 5 is amazing!
   Forget the people complaining about poor controller support and lack of achievements. My xbox controller works like a charm and controls can be modified.
   "But what about soft engine"
   Comparing this to my friend's ps4 version, i noticed no difference. Game also runs smoothly so it's not even badly optimized.
   I do hope that Tecmo and Team Ninja add the extra two levels and fix the problem, where changing your steam nickname screws your saves. Of course, delaying online for 3 months is disappointment but I
   'll look forward to it. Don't look at the bad reviews about this. Buy it and prove them wrong.
   I'll give this game 9/10 because of great characters and gameplay. Really hoping that save problem gets fixed soon.… Expand

   Je n'avais pas joué à DOA depuis le premier opus sur play....
   J'adore, je ne comprend pas ce qu'on peut détester en ce jeu au point de mettreJe n'avais pas joué à DOA depuis le premier opus sur play....
   J'adore, je ne comprend pas ce qu'on peut détester en ce jeu au point de mettre 2!
   Le gameplay est fidèle à lui-même, je retrouve le plaisir des mécaniques d’enchaînements assez virtuoses.
   Bonne balance entre accessibilité et technique. L'histoire est cheezy au possible... ben oui, c'est DOA... respect déjà d'oser incorporer un scénario. Pleins de persos belles et sexy. Beaucoup de décors, bel essai sur l’interactivité de ceux-ci (projeter son adversaire sur les troncs d'arbres dans la forêt, j'adore)
   Sound design très bien fichu, les impacts des coups sonnent justes, voix en japonais AU TOP, beaucoup de choix de musiques pour "tous" les goûts.
   Je trouve les costumes traditionnels vraiment très beaux, et beaucoup d'autres costumes tous plus vulgaires les uns que les autres, vous allez aimer les gars. Les packs de costume de noel sont très chiants par contre, car ridicules et il n'est pas possible de les filtrer dommage.
   Il y a énormément de personnages, une quantité de coups hallucinante, le motion capture est très bien réalisé et les combats sont beaux à regarder, très fluides, réalistes en certains points mais très acrobatiques aussi. Énormément de styles d'arts martiaux, comment ne pas être comblé?
   Beaucoup de tutos et modes de jeux... Bref un excellent jeu.
   
   On peut lui reprocher peu d'être un peu trop fourni en coups, avec une trentaine de persos et des centaines d'enchaînements pour chaque, c'est parfois dur de s'y retrouver même si il y a beaucoup de similitudes entre les persos à ce niveau là (une logique certaines derrière les commandes).
   Il lui manque des **** éléments de récompense aussi qui nous accrocherait plus. Les seules récompenses sont de débloquer des costumes (ce qui est pour beaucoup l'intérêt principal du jeu) mais ça lui manque un petit côté RPG à la Soul Calibur
   
   Après je comprend ceux qui ragent pour les manques et ratés du portage PC, mais bon... Moi j'ai plus de console, et je n'en veux pas, j'étais donc super heureux de voir que ce jeu serait porté sur PC et je ne suis pas déçu. Après si t'as une console, achète-le pour cette plate-forme, c'est clair.
   
   Belle durée de vie. Pas déçu du tout, à posséder absolument sur PC si on aime ce genre.… Expand

   I played this game on Xbox One and I really like what Team Ninja have done. It's not just got amazing character models, but genuinely goodI played this game on Xbox One and I really like what Team Ninja have done. It's not just got amazing character models, but genuinely good gameplay with tried-and-tested mechanics. It's actually quite a deep and complex game if you actually bother with doing all of the tutorials, but the beauty is that it's mostly a pick-up-and-play title and you can have fun without really knowing anything about the intricacies of the game's systems. At its core, it's a rock-paper-scissors system. What makes this game particularly outstanding is that because it's in 3 dimensions, the stages actually matter and affect the gameplay; and each stage is unique, rather than being a static background image like in most fighting games.
   
   The problem arises with the PC port. Whilst it's admirable that the game is free but you have to pay for the story and characters, costumes etc., the port is just terrible. There are issues with getting controllers to work; something of a definite no-no with a fighting game. This is most prevalent when starting the game. The game for some reason utilizes a single core heavily. I was at 100% load on my first core (i5-3470 with Tubo Boost enabled), and had to set the process priority to "High" in order to get performance above 18 FPS, even in the menus! The game is built on old technology but still looks good; though it runs terribly on PC as it seems to be almost entirely CPU-bound; with little GPU usage and doesn't seem to have been built with concurrency in mind.
   
   Overall DOA5 is a great game but I can't recommend it on PC.… Expand

   It's a solid single player game if you can get around the fact that the DLC are way over-priced, the game is missing two stages the consolesIt's a solid single player game if you can get around the fact that the DLC are way over-priced, the game is missing two stages the consoles have, the devs don't update the PC version, the graphics are on par with PS3, there's no particle effects on par with the PS4/XBone, and there's no online play after over 6 months when online was promised NO LATER than 3 months after the DELAYED launch of the game.
   
   So yeah, it's pretty much a crap port of an excellent game and Team Ninja just counts your money and ignores your complaints. I won't be suckered into another Team Ninja PC game.… Expand

   I do NOT know which planet these morons singing the game's praises live on, but they definitely ain't on the same one that I'm from.
   
   YesI do NOT know which planet these morons singing the game's praises live on, but they definitely ain't on the same one that I'm from.
   
   Yes indeed, ladies and gents, Tecmo and Team Ninja bring you yet another extra special dosage of T&A action with yet another DoA title. With MORE **** MORE ass, and MORE blatantly rubbish fighting that will have any pubescent teenager either smashing the **** out of his console or ogling wobbly breasts all day.
   This game has great graphics, it's plot - on the other hand - is definitely on a par with a children's book - and by a children's book I mean just give it a nursery rhyme and the plot would be better. I don't know who thought it up, but it was rubbish.
   The fighting is nothing spectacular, but I do have to say I am very surprised that Team Ninja have just left the fighting engine the way it's been for so long already. Having had a character thrown to the ropes by Tina, why are the ropes still lifelessly rigid? You don't see that happening in a real wrestling or boxing ring so why not in the game?
   Methinks Team Ninja would be best at soft porn game manufacture, because all those guys in the game are just to throw the parents off track. Don't think we don't know that **** Team Ninja. Oh wait...… Expand
