(My message to Team NINJA, and more or less my feelings towards DOA 5)
Dear Team NINJA,
Congrats on DOA5s success. I love DOA, and though I think DOA 5 is great, i also think it lacks evolution.
Gameplay wise its awesome, except that i dont think DOA needs to be so STUN friendly. And with the new side step feature, maybe you could have even gone down the road of making more attacks guard break and forcing people to side step those attacks, as oppose to it being such a stun heavy game.
The game is fast, fierce and ferocious it does not need to be soooo stun heavy...
Also I hope one day you will realize the potential of customization. The World of DOA is big and colorful, seeing new designs would only add to its charm.
I understand your need to respect your fans and many worry that customization would take away from the essence of the character but there are ways to get around this.
* Like each character getting their own unique items to mix and match with "thus" you will NEVER see Christie with Ayanes bow or Ryu in zacks disco outfit... :/
Each character would have a variety of clothing items that would be befitting of their own style! :)
Also - and this is a truley NEW idea for the World of DOA perhaps you can add an extra level depth to the countering system in the form of "JUST" counters?!
just some thoughts... I think DOA5 is great - But I am already bored, only because i have been playing this game for so long... :|
(I think it's great you want to respect your fans, but I wouldn't mind seeing a true evolution of the franchise)
