    So like uh this game is out on next gen now.
    Sort of:


    Arcade sticks are not working on the Xbox one version.
    It hasn't shown up at all on PS4
    http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-02-20-dead-or-alive-5-last-round-launches-with-plenty-of-issues


    The they "f2p"-ish versions have and with stuff incorrectly priced.


    And its is going to launch on PC without online, which will be patched in 3 months later.


    Oh and Tecmo won't release on PC again unless modders are "respectable"

    Apparently the DOA community is soft banning 100s of costumes.

    Yeah, the idea is to not appear like a bunch of creepy weaboos for sponsors/ potential new players :D

    From what I can tell, it's only a select few TOs and the backlash is real.

    It's a softban, so no one is effected who doesn't want to be.

    The backlash IMO is people embarrassing themselves... way to go to show you care more about playing dress up than, you know, the future of your games competitive scene.

    For the vast majority of players, I'd wager that being able to play in silly costumes is actually a bonus that gets them to come out to tournaments.

    Besides, have you seen some of the banned ones?
    Gallery link (barely NSFW)

    It's just a weird list.

    I have literally never met a tournament player who's said, in seriousness, "I can't have my favourite alt costume? No way am I going to that tournament". I think Cobelcog came close on Saturday :D

    I can however think of loads of companies who would never ever sponsor a DoA tournament if they saw some of the costumes in the game, and I personally know several people who think the whole game is massively creepy, perhaps preventing possible new players from entering the scene.

    It's a softban, it's not like the game's getting censored, people seriously need to start looking at the bigger picture.

    Sure I soft banned all SF4 alt costumes for our tournaments ages ago so that someone could request the silly Blanka alt wouldn't be picked.

    Lol should play a different game then.

    That said DoA seems to have the largest player laser of women

    Both proportionally and often in actual terms too.


    Lol DoA and proportional in the same post who knew that was possible.

    I'm not thinking of the current tournament players, I'm considering casual fans.

    And it's super weird because the linked outfits are almost all one-piece swimsuits (borderline), overalls (??) and ninja outfits (wtf).

    It's seems less about Puritanism/censorship and more like a TO on a power trip.

    You can still play in a bathing suit. Your character can't be wearing one, though.

    It's great. It might be the best fighting game.

    The F2P version is on steam if anyone's wondering now.
