Lol

This series used to be cool. DoA2 to me was the Tekken 3 to others. It was so fast fluid and cool.

DoA 3 was my jam. The only fighting game I was ever good at. Went downhill hard after that.

What happened
Toned down the fan service with DOA6, had a lukewarm reception, and got lost in the shuffle of other fighting games.

I loved all of them until after 4. No reason for that just stopped playing them for some reason. Easily my favorite fighting game series.

I only played 4 and 5 (vanilla, before the ftp transition) and loved them both.

Wish they'd give us a collection of the older games. Emulating a 360 for 4 just isn't convenient >_>

Time was you complete challenges or modes to unlock costumes, now they make you pay more than $1,000 for them.

4 was when problems started, namely Itagaki spiked the difficulty and nerfed the counter system to appeal more for the EVO hardcode crowd, it sold well but casual player walked away in droves...

Even though 4 did well, Tecmo wanted to go multiplatform which Itagaki was dead set against (he had a massive distaste for Sony). So when he bolted after NG2, Tecmo took the series to 360 and PS3....

5 was okay but Tecmo followed the Capcom model and squeezed out two more versions of 5 and milked the fans with costume DLC too much...

6 tried to tone down the fanservice and focus on E-Sports which ticked off fans and then when Koei-Tecmo has the gall to come back after that failed to try to appeal to the fans with more costume DLC, the fans rightfully told them to take a hike and within a year DoA6 was dead...

Now the series is in flux and they are still trying to figure out how to revive it...

In another timeline we would have gotten Ninja Gaiden 2 Black and probably been expecting Ninja Gaiden V

3 had amazing graphics for the time then they gave up on making the series a graphical powerhouse.

Toning down the fanservice was the stupidest decision they made >_>

I liked the first and the second game in the series that's about all I played. Everyone knew who Kasumi and Tina were back then. I watched some videos about the newer games in the series because I got the time to pass me by and it was mentioned already though. How endless dlc outfits and then the shift to a serious fighter left the game in a strange place.

DLC outfits are still obviously popular with a crowd but DOA I think did it to excess.

DOA2: Hardcore was my first Dead or Alive game. Loved it. Didn't play another one until DOA5 since I didn't have an Xbox lol.

The X-Treme games seem to be doing well, and the ladies are what people really care about anyway.

The fighting mechanics were decent. But it wasn't just the t&a that attracted people. It was the unlockables. When the developers decided to just hide all that behind a paywall, that killed a lot of its luster. Toning down the t&a was just the final straw.
