    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

    Pros:
    - The fighting mechanics are better than DoA5 Last Round.
    - English voice overs are not as cringy as in prior versions. Cons: - Unlockables are a GRIND - No Tag Fighting option. - The new soundtrack is very bland and uninspiring. - Inexplicably long loading times...even getting into Practice Mode. - Monetization of costumes still one of the worst in gaming - If for any

    - Monetization of costumes still one of the worst in gaming
    - If for any reason your controller disconnects for a second while Online, the game will automatically kick you out of the match....this needs a patch immediately.

    The Dead or Alive franchise needs a lot more than just a new number next to its title....6 is very disappointing.

    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.

    The micro Transactions are ridiculous in this game. Makes playing feel worthless.

    imagine paying full price for this and getting slapped in the face with all the microtransactions. your purchase for a full price game gives you a few percent of the content that´s already on the disc you just have to unlock it with roughly a thousand extra. an absoulte joke

    While the lack of a decent story mode disappoints us, the other modes such as arcade mode and DOA Quest will provide more than enough entertainment for a long while. Dead or Alive 6, for better or for worse, tries to do things a little differently in this its sixth installment, and it is definitely a game worth taking a look at.

    Overall, DOA6 is a nice package. While the grind for the costumes is real, the quest modes is a great way to learn more about all the characters in the game, and while the online mode is sparse for now, the support for this game will come in due time. Aside from all of that, the most important thing is the fighting mechanics and DOA6 delivers in that aspect. This is a great fighting game for both beginners and advanced players. The ins and outs take some getting used to, but once you do, you feel the satisfaction of pulling off that amazing counter and finishing up with a devastating combo, and end the end, that’s all that matters. Fighting game fans will have a great time here.

    For the most part, only hardcore fans will enjoy Dead or Alive 6, but it's an overall worthy sequel to get your DOA fix satisfied.
