Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

[Project Bokuho]

When it comes to costume DLC, of course many people are disappointed with the ones presented (bikini swaps, lazy ones, etc.). However, some of us end up buying them for the sake of being a completionist so-to-speak. For me, I don't really like some of the costumes that they gave Helena, but I end up buying just to be complete (even though I don't use them). It's probably just a habit that I have.

You mean I'm not alone? Thank the gods.

Yes, and that's not making anything better. CFW and JoyBoy gets it.

The community ruins itself for wanting the lame skimpy smut and it's what Team Ninja is going to cater to. Not realizing that the start they had for DOA5U (and it's middle-ground) are what made 5U really amazing and appealing to more outside of DOA. The sleazy and dumb skimpy smut we're getting just adds to that "first layer" of anyone not wanting to try it, let alone play it. It makes DOA look more perverse than ever.

It doesn't for 2 reasons:

1. The DLC, and therefore "lame skimpy smut" are optional rather than necessities, which was heavily implied prior to DOA5's release that that was always the plan.

2. You can't see your opponent's DLC costumes online, which in turn minimises that perception.

Pre-DOA5, I'd agree with you. But with the current strategy they have in regards to sex appeal (i.e. keep it outta the core data and make it optional via DLC), they seem to be doing it right, even if we core crowd aren't seeing it that way.

Just a casual opinion.....

Even though sex sells, I guess a petition for more desexualized outfits would be a nice to start? If the perverts are desperate to put the pressure, I wonder why the ones with a shred of morality aren't doing the same?

Pipe dream it may be, but then the squeaky wheel gets the grease. You could put simple fashion like steampunk, aristocrat, wedding, cyberpunk, princess, etc, but I know they'll always try to add sex appeal for the desperate perverts. How can I invite a person to play the game for what it is?

I'll hear more bashing and/or waifu pervy talks than the gameplay itself. I love Kokoro and mained her for what she was, but that won't excuse how they made her sexualized in other costumes. I didn't stop playing the DOA series because of the gameplay or how lazy I am. I stopped because those sex costumes are kryptonite to my morals.

I saw typical swimsuit DLC outfits and said "that's nice". Saw another and wondered what about something more creative. Saw more crazy sex ideas, and I questioned my sanity. For what it's worth though, I did thoroughly enjoy the game for what it was.

Pardon my post.

remember when Leifang was also decently dressed as well? at least most of her costumes are. but when that tropical outfit came out I was blown away how revealing it was for a character that had a lot of mostly dressed outfits. I'm still waiting on my

it was the only outfit i really used and i loved it. but now she has a lot of revealing outfits. hell, even Pai has revealing outfits and normally you would rarely even be able to see her legs, let alone anything else.
