DOA3 Gamespot review: Because I\'m posting this, you know it\'s bad! :D

7.9.  Docwiz, is this the "objective" review you were looking for, or would you prefer the objective *cought*bull crap*cough* review from IGN or Gaming Age?

Then again, there\'s an adage in gaming that graphics aren\'t everything, and Dead or Alive 3 is a good example of this. Once you get past its graphics--and you will--you\'ll find that Dead or Alive 3 doesn\'t offer much of anything that hasn\'t been done in other 3D fighting games, particularly its own predecessors. In fact, Dead or Alive 3 plays almost exactly the same as last year\'s Dead or Alive 2 and inherits most of the previous game\'s characters, moves, combos, and timing.

Theres more than that, but nothing you haven\'t heard from numerous sources over the past few months.  Good graphics, and, um, good graphics.

Oh, and by "bad", I mean not as good as the Xbox fanboys are saying it is.

Yeah baby... I\'ve been saying this for a while.... Ppl just don\'t believe me that DOA3 has nothing to offer....

DOA3 just is exactly as the older lamer game.... And I got tired of DOA2... So will Xboxers...

True,
Well, i guess CatBox don\'t have game afterall

though i shouldn\'t laugh, DOA2:HC is still fresh in my mind :sconf:

I still don\'t like gamespot even though they touched up on the aspect of DOA3 I didn\'t like the most about it, which is what reviewers (IGN, Gaming-Age) have been avoiding most about the game, but this review is an example of what I have been saying all along.  DOA3 is DOA2 with a pretty bow.

After seeing the review, i felt a little bad that a game with so much hype didnt do as well as some would think.  Now, I hate fighting games, I dont care if it has the most involved story ever, i hate fighting games, they belong in the arcade. The only fighting game I would buy is a Transformers fighting game, but I played the Beast Wars ones and they sucked. so....

I have the feeling that many xbox fans are going to be dissapointed when they play this game, just like what happened to me with doa2. The first hour or so into the game, is heaven and you are amazed by the graphics, but after that it goes all down the draina nd all you are left over with is  a shallow and boring fighter.

This is the ideal "rental" game to me. Rent it for a day and be amazed and bring it back the next morning

VF and CvS2 will crap all over it

i still take Ryu\'s opinion over all these website reviews...

but even so...i\'d have to make up my own mind on whther or not i like the game

i know for a fact that there is a keen intrest in the proposed update for DOA3

DOA3 Victorias Secret Edition

I\'m the same as Metal Gear Ray. I was bored of DOA2 after about an hour.
But DOA3 will still sell well. Why? Cause it has good graphics.
Some people ar stupid and think if it looks good, then it is good

Although the graphics is great, maybe the greatest for Xbox, I can still stand correct that this game sucks.

When I had DOA2, I felt the exact same way as you guys. It got boring after about 1 day. The characters need alot more moves, and alot more dephth overall.

Anyone remember "Battle Arena Toshiden" for the PSone launch? It was this gorgeous fighting game , that received rave reviewers despite having totally pointless gameplay and it wasn\'t until later sequels that people realized that the gameplay sucked, due to the fact that the graphics had gotten old.

Well, this is the same damn thing with DOA3. All the Xbox fans are jumping up and down because they have a beautiful fighter at launch and it plays like total sh!t. I imagine by the time DOA4 - DOA5 comes out, they\'ll be complaining on how damn boring it is also.

Street Fighter 2(old school), Tobal No2 and Soul Calibur are the best fighting games ever.

And though I don\'t like that genre very much, yet I still buy them. I have every Tekken, every DOA and every Virtua Fighter game that ever came out. Though I enjoyed them to a point, none quite reached the platform of the first three fighting games I mentioned.

This is my opinion. Like I said, I\'m not a fan of fighing games but I bought them anyway. And only three of them I liked.

So...you can say I have an objective opinion - but it\'s still my opinion. So don\'t yell at me.

And it\'s probably true for DOA2 and DOA3. Is anyone surprised? The fighing style of DOA2 wasn\'t bad. Though it was nothing new.

Sure BAT was lame after a while - but it was something new! No game had a side stepping feature before that! And none had changing camera views either. I enjoyed it enough but like I said in my previous reply, it didn\'t give me that long lasting replay of SF2, Tobal No2 or Soul Calibur.

I don\'t get it??  Your saying the IGN and Gaming Age reviews are bull crap reviews because it is in opposition of what your perceive or believe?? This review is in concordance with what you want to believe so it automatically becomes the defacto standard?  Very closed minded and narrow in scope.  You need to broaded your horizons.

This is your logic?  You do know that they are several reviews out there that praise this game correct? Only you selectively choose to acknowledge this one and only this one??  Sounds like someone who doesn\'t want to admit that it just might be a good game.

Does IGN suck or something?  Are you telling me they can review games?  Where does MGS2:SOL stand with a score of 9.7 from IGN??  Of course that score is valid!

NEXT! :fro:
