    Man this game is good!I can't believe I'm saying this because I played so much Tekken and hated the DOA series for the longest,but wow it's really turned around for competitive players!Looks great and the roster is huge for the start of the game

    Dead or Alive 6 is a perfect addition to the 3D roster of fighters. Next to Tekken and Soul Calibur you now have three separate identities in the FGC that feel like complete tournament level fighting games. This is the first time DOA6 has competed like that and is showing up at big tournaments for the first time at CEO.

    A física de peitos nunca evoluiu tanto, foram 20 anos.
    Em pensar que estão querendo cobrar literalmente quase 300 conto no PC. Jogo é o nicho do nicho, mesmo quem curte no PC não compra, pega pirata e nos consoles galera espera promoção.

    Dead or Alive 6 possui um sistema de combate robusto, mas a estrutura em torno dele não se aproveita disso. Embora o tutorial e o modo DOA Quest façam um trabalho decente para que você entenda o combate

    I briefly dabbled with DoA 5 and enjoyed it but when I got DoA 6, I loved it. Now this isn't my usual style of controls. I like Street Fighter, KoF, GG and BB style. I usually dislike these controls but I got hooked very quickly and it is a really fun game.

    It really feels complete and cohesive and it's really enjoyable. Now the DLC is stupid. Why put costumes behind a pay wall.

    I have played DoA games since DoA 2.
    But is this game perfect? No, but the core gameplay is.

    Pros.
    Great visuals.
    Great animations.
    All the characters feel great to play.
    The arenas are the best you will find in a fighting game, some are a closed of arena and others have different levels, they are all interactive in some way or another.
    The gameplay is 10/10.

    So the parts that are important to a fighting game are spot on.
    The story is rather meh, there are some fun portions but a masterpiece it is not. Then again, who in their right mind play a fighting game for great story?

    Cons.
    The unlock system is beyond **** That it takes a long time to unlock things I have nothing against, but to have it being completely random is just so damn crappy. A good way would be to give you things in survival that was points and then let us choose which ones we wanted to spend said points on.
    The overpriced season pass... ya, well actually calling it overpriced would be an understatement.

    And lastly I have to mention this.
    As a long time fan of this series I am tired of games "journalists" taking a **** on the games and the fans of them every single chance they get. One of them even going so far as to calling one of the female characters a sex slave... can you guys even hear yourselves or are you so damn full of yourselves? Same guy even thought Bass and Tina was suppose to be Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka Trump... ya.... no, just no. This is why gamers are no longer taking you serious.
    I can still remember back when DoA2 came out, a couple of games "journalists" take a dump on the game while praising Tekken Tag, one year later the same people looked back and had to agree that they had played DoA2 way more then Tekken Tag, the fighting game they had taken a dump on turned out to be their favorite fighting game that year.    … Expand

    No fim, o jogo vai muito além das atraentes personagens que pode parecer o seu maior motivo venda para um observador casual. Apesar de não negligenciar o fanservice, é um ótimo jogo de luta com mecânicas complexas e sutis que provavelmente irão satisfazer até os mais exigentes entusiastas do gênero.

    Dead or Alive 6 is the most enjoyable and accessible title in this fight series so far, although its history and online modes leave a little to be desired.

    Dead or Alive 6 carrega muito do DNA sensual da franquia, mas se mostra um pouco mais restrito inicialmente. Os trajes mais reveladores são destraváveis e a física dos seios tende a ser um pouco mais realista agora. O combate permanece acessível, mas novos movimentos como o Break Blow e a evasão adicionam novas camadas para os veteranos de DOA.

    People giving DOA6 0 are not be honest and only bashing the game.
    The game does have negatives that definitely could have addressed better but the game isn't unplayable. The negatives consist not having Tag or Lobbies at launch. That is definitely hurtful and limits out online play. The costume grid is crazy long. Before the March 4 patch, the grid for costumes would length to unlock and    People giving DOA6 0 are not be honest and only bashing the game.

Before the March 4 patch, the grid for costumes would length to unlock and the getting costume pieces are completely RNG and a bit unfair. The story is bad but its so bad is actual funny to play. So you can get some enjoyment from it.
    The positive being the game looks great and better than before. The boobies hasn't been toned down but can calmed down in the settings for those who hate core values. The maps are fresh to play bringing back old stage from the series history. Most importantly the gameplay is polished and smooth. The characters are great and the hits and sounds feel like they hurt and left an impact.
    DOA6 is a good step forward but only to shot itself in the foot with missing features and grinding costumes. My honest review number is 7 but giving it a 10 because these 0 reviews are not fair.    … Expand

From the small beginnings of jiggle physics to the actual sweat and dirt sticking to the characters as they fight, from it's arcade cabinets to full price home releases with multiple overpriced season passes, It's odd that DOA hasn't changed the formula of the most unlikely characters fighting each other in a connected universe. I don't really have much to say on the game so far, other then it's almost a retread of 5. You can still go into arcade mode and win some new outfits or go into online play to fight experienced players. There never really has been much to the DOA story, in fact mostly the story has some kind of discontinuity towards earlier games. Overall I say its a great fighting game and look forward to playing more online matches. However I do have to take points off for how greedy KOEI Tecmo is with downloadable content, most of it is character costumes and only a few extra characters.… Expand

By far the benchmark for graphics and physics in fighting games over the years AND the most interactive and destructible/expansive arenas in ANY FIGHTING GAME. Dragon Ball Xenoverse is a close second. Having reserved the CE of DoA 6, I'm supremely pleased with Team Ninjas latest outing. We all knew the SJW's were going to whine and cry about the boobs and outfits. This was expected. Also, the DoA series is known for tons of DLC and so I feel the high cost of the Season Pass is warranted. With 30 characters and often times numerous outfits/skins for each character, along with extra stages, this equates to around $1-$3 per add-on. On the down side, I'm not a huge fan of how the costumes are unlocked as random parts, the stages seem slightly underwhelming compared to previous outings, and the roster is very meh. Having said that, I have faith these minor gripes will be rectified by future updates. I'm not sure why reviews keep labeling this game as incomplete. I was never a huge fan of tag matches and the grsphics blow every other fighting game away!… Expand

    This is one of the best looking fighting games i have played. Looks and Boobs aside, the gameplay is very well done, it is satisfying pulling off combos, and though easy to pick up, it is extremely difficult to master.

Looks and Boobs aside, the gameplay is very well done, it is satisfying pulling off combos, and though easy to pick up, it is extremely difficult to master.

    The amount of modes in this game is great with the default Online Modes (Lobby and Ranked), Training and Versus modes, Survival and tutorial modes, and the new Quest mode which lets you do challenges while fighting to unlock extras and coins to buy more outfits and cosmetic gear.

    Besides those there is the Story mode, which follows suit of the Dead Or Alive 5 and even uses the same layout with it's chapter screen. i haven't played the story yet, but it has been said it improves it on the previous installment, and the story in DOA5 was pretty good.

    The Character roster in DOA6 is very good, it includes the main fighters from the previous games and adds 2 new fighters NiCO (my new blue haired waifu) and Diego. Each character is balanced and and has great looking extra outfits.

    Some more outfits are more revealing than others, with the "SOFT" option active, makes their boobs jiggle like jelly... wait nope more like Water. a fair few of these outfits can be destroyed revealing some nice skin or long hair if they were wearing pigtails (eg. Lei fang and Marie Rose), and seeing their glasses fly off is always the spectacle to behold (puns).

    Arena's so far are a little lacking but, they are pretty good so far, a fair few having multiple stages, which are can also be played separately. Just waiting on Zack's Island and the Bikini outfit bundle.

    Other features include a wardrobe to change outfits for various characters. Music player which you can change menu and character music. An encyclopedia and trivia for previous events in the series.

    Season Pass aside which is 100% optional with it only having a few characters that can be bought separately, and numerous outfits that you don't need, (You can buy them separately as well or in a bundle with 13 costumes, but as of now, only in bundles, as buying them separate will be arriving later)

    This is the best in the Series, and one of the best fighting games on the PS4.    … Expand

    Is Dead or Alive 6 worth picking up? No. Unless you really (and I mean really) need to know what happens in the next installment of the franchise. Yes, credit where credit is due with the gameplay, roster, and visuals, but everything about the game just has this air of ‘lacking’ around it. The soundtrack could have done a lot more, most of the design was just plain bad, the story felt thrown together at the last minute, and the length of the campaign just doesn’t justify the £54 price tag attached to the game.

    The combat system has been tweaked just enough to keep things fresh for Dead or Alive 6, but there is this niggling feeling that the budget just wasn't there for this game, which is unfortunate, because there are plenty of modes and great characters to enjoy. A few too many aspects stand out as sub-par, though, leading to disappointment for many that have been waiting so long for the next entry in this franchise. Still a whole lot of fun and worth at least trying the free-to-play version out if curious, but it may be best to wait for the likely Ultimate edition.
