Welcome to the boards man, and yeah, its him alright, he just better relize that he couldn\'t debate against MOST people here. He\'s almost like Next Genner.

This is from the December issue of EGM that I got today.

BUT YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE IT IF...you\'re expecting groundbreaking innovation.  Fighters will be fighters, and while the graphics in DOA3 are certainly unparalleled by any other in the console market, the game-play is still very similar to that of DOA2: Hardcore for the PS2.  It\'s mostly more of the same but much snazzier.

I\'ll respond to your responses when I have more time.  I just wanted to point out yet another source that says it\'s more of the same.

Thx

and: Very true

Perhaps DOA3 IS too good to be true.  This is just got a whole lot more interesting.

This doesn\'t really affect me too much because I quite enjoyed DOA2.  But others...well we know about the others heh.

Just adding logs to the fire

DOA3 is much prettier, but the Tekken series has superior gameplay. Most of us weren\'t overly enamored with DOA3. It looks great, but it plays practically the same as DOA2. According to one of our most skilled fighting game players on staff, Jeff Gerstmann, it\'s not the type of game that hard-core fighting game fans will get into. Take that as you will. Miguel seems a bit more upbeat than Jeff, however. He claims that DOA3 takes second place only to Soul Calibur for the best 3D fighting game ever made. Miguel wanted to make sure that I let you know that the comparison doesn\'t include arcade games, and he considers games like Virtua Fighter 4 to be superior.

All I am saying is so is Tekken 2.3.and TTT like I said in my last reply are three games that are virtually the same game. Just a little touched up.

Ok, Tekken 3 might be similar to Tekken 2, but not to the degree that DOA3 is to DOA2.  Why did I play Tekken 3 tons more than I played Tekken 2?  I\'m thinking because it was so much deeper. (or maybe I was just a lot more addicted.  I don\'t know)  And another thing, Tekken 2 was a great game that didn\'t need too many advancements in Gameplay (but it still got them), but DOA2 was not that great IMO.  

The reason I made this topic is because of this:  The maker was claiming DOA3 whaled on Tekken 4 and VF4.  If he didn\'t say that, I wouldn\'t be bashing DOA3 so much.  But after what he said, I expected DOA3 to be a lot better game than DOA2, not just have better graphics than DOA2.  I am somewhat disappointed.

I\'ve been dissapointed since the first day I laid hands on the X-Box controller with DOA3 loaded.  I\'m just glad sites and certain forum members are just NOW, at least a week after I wrote the impressions, beginning to realize my words are not from a "fanboy" perspective.

Truth be told I never was a big fan of Tekken (esp #4 ugh) gameplay.  I much prefer VF.  I\'m glad it\'s coming out for PS2.

WORD (except for that T4 thing.  He he. )  Tekken 4 isn\'t perfect, but it is still a fun game to play.  I just hope they fix the glitches and soup up the graphics a little.  And a few new characters would be nice.
