    unbelievable cringey story plus censorship with the topping (or main dish?) of years long overpriced DLCs = DOA6. Really is "DOA". Where is the paradise mode and swimsuits? (DLC?) And you all know DOA6LR is coming on PS5 which make those who bought their DLCs a joke. And even the fan favorite Momiji has been dropped (or DLC?). Oh, yeah, not to mention the 1st SP is already more expensiveunbelievable cringey story plus censorship with the topping (or main dish?) of years long overpriced DLCs = DOA6. Really is "DOA".

    this game is a disappointing sequel:
    - no tag mode
    - a bad costume unlocking system
    - very expensive season pass
    - first day dlc
    - reduced breasts
    - less sexy suits
    - The two new characters are boring.

    Huge ripoff. It has input lag issues, horrible online play, weak single player content, arcade mode is bad, story mode is bad and costume unlocks system is horrible. Day 1 dlc practices galore. Screw this game.

    It's a very disappointing sequel. There's not much reason to leave Doa 5 for this one.

    Can't rebind the keyboard controls. This is unacceptable in this time and age.

    Pandering to SJWs ruins games, not to mention Koei Tecmo making the DOA games as a live service with the exactly the same insane monetization practices as Last Round, I have no doubt this game will probably end up costing just as much, if not more than Last Round if you wanted the complete experience.

    This type of games as a service is just wrong, its a travesty for not only DoA fans

    This type of games as a service is just wrong, its a travesty for not only DoA fans in general, but also allows SJWs and alt-right Christians a victory by the developers giving into censorship, this is wrong, and even goes as far as proselytizing players because of the beliefs of religious sjws reducing the sexy costumes and breasts, if this trend is allowed to continue then the first of gaming is bleak, what about Dead or Alive 7 where all the girls are flat chested and wearing boring and bland outfits so it doesn't potentially offend someone?

    Newsflash, we now live in an era where everyone is offended by everything, its time to give them all a dropkick and shout loudly with open hearts and open minds that we will not bow down to social justice, they will not take away our skimpy clothing or bouncy breasts.

    Legitimate reasons why this game is an absolute zero.
    -99% of the moves are the same as the ones in previous installments. The game characters use the exact same moves and animations since DOA2. They didn't add much really, actually maybe nothing at all.
    -Adding a stupid blue bar that lets you do break holds is hardly a game changer. -Removing of Tag mode. -No lobbies. -The costume

    -No lobbies.
    -The costume grind is insane, even with that 100x point awards promo that will last two weeks.
    -The costumes you can unlock are all the vanilla costumes from previous installments with many color variants. So if you want that black leather Kasumi outfit which is 1000 points, be prepared to play for an indefinite amount of time. You have to earn points towards every costume which are awarded randomly. This is an obvious attempt at frustrating the players so later they can spend money and skip the most maddening grind I've seen in my 32 years of playing games.
    -Less character victory poses and less intros.
    -DLC characters are DLC characters from DOA5. This is insulting and should not be supported.

    There are many other reasons this game is a sham, but I don't wanna write all of them. To sum it up this game is basically a copy paste from DOA5. That is unacceptable, even COD has more changes per installment, way more, and that seriously says something.

    This game has become a real money pump, and I'm weighing my words... how can we offer so many DLC, and at an exorbitant price...
    Do they think that this suite is a pure marvel, that you have to spend more than 100€ (not counting the additions) to satisfy the players?
    No, of course not... they have a policy of earning money... which is a great pity.

    Don't supported Phenom II Processor. ONLY SSE 4.1 / 4.2 instructions suported (there is no information in steam)
    Other games like Tekken 7 and Soul Calibur 6 work without a problem.... disgrace KOEI TECMO.

    I am trying to like this game but it's mediocre at best. The story mode is so cringey. The locations are very boring. Looks like it's not for me.

    This game fails with the fans, lack of game modes, extras like private paradise, and boring costumes because the west can't handle hot women.
    The best things are the new characters and the graphs. Other than that was very disappointing.
    I feel bad for the new characters. - Changed costumes to satisfy people that can't handle a woman in skimpy costumes; - Changed Kasumi default

    - Changed costumes to satisfy people that can't handle a woman in skimpy costumes;
    - Changed Kasumi default costume ( put back later when saw the sh*t);
    - Censored Rachel fiend costume;
    -Tag mode removed
    -Very poor fan service
    -Private paradise movies removed
    -DLCs expensive

    An easy to pick up fighting game whose creators know exactly what their audience wants. At the same time, it will hardly surprise long-time fans.

    It looks better than its predecessor, but content-wise its rather stingy and the story needs work, dampening excitement for this title.

    Dead or Alive 6 is a decent fighting game. Although the DLC pricing model is annoyingly expensive, the existing content is enough to make you ignore it and devote yourself to its high-quality gameplay. As soon as lobbies are added, it would be a very good thing for all the fighters out there.
