    - Character models are eyecandy!

What I disliked: - Lacks steam features for a steam game - Missing features/content like the vertical tilt in spectator mode, 2 stages - DLC is more expensive than the core game - Graphics was not pushed to it's limits - An incomplete product despite the release date being    What I liked:

    For someone who has played the game in PS3, the PC version is graphically superior in comparison unlike what most people say, but still subpar for PC standards.
    It seems more time was put into encrypting the files to counter modding than actually giving the game and the fans the PC treatment it deserves.    … Expand

    The game is pretty good in its own right and it was very nice to see at last the DOA franchise arrive on PC. Nevertheless the last minute cuts in graphics and arena were disappointing. Still it runs just right on my old PC so... Anyway it would have been 8 but its just 7 for bad last time minute. Hope another more rich version is coming on PC.

    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 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 knowingI 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

    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 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    Je n'avais pas joué à DOA depuis le premier opus sur play....

    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

    Pros:
    - Solid fighting mechanics
    - Lots of modes and options

    Cons:
    - Terrible story mode
    - One of the most poorly directed narratives I've ever seen
    - DLC is incredibly overpriced and you can't even use the costumes in story mode
    - 30 FPS

    Owners of the PC version are faced with a difficult choice — either wait for the promised online multiplayer and enjoy the fact that it is a decent port of an excellent fighting game, or berate Team Ninja that Last Round lacks some odd features.

    Without online multiplayer, all the stages and possessing visuals that are inferior to the console versions, Dead or Alive 5 Last Round manages that rare and horrible thing of making PC players feel like second-class citizens to their console brethren and in doing so, succeeds in heavily tarnishing what is actually a pretty incredible fighting game in the process.

    It might have benefited Dead or Alive 5 Last Round to be issued into Steam’s Early Access program as, in its current state, is a lacking experience that’s below its console counterparts.
