Hey now.......

I notice there is much talk about the engine in DOA 2, and i was just wondering if anyone were fans of the first installment of DOA.
I personally as a fan enjoyed the first installment, and found that i was able to adapt immediately to DOA 2 style of play.
Which is to say in my heart that there really arent significant differences between returning characters and any new characters
that mimic previous ones(except for the faster speed of the gameplay, the ability to string, and new moves). I still use at least 60% of the strategies from DOA and am able to come up with new strategies of some of which i've seen here.
On reversals: I did not enjoy my opponent having a great chance of countering my attacks in DOA by simply pressing Catch.
I found that when DOA 2 was released, the DC version offered the Dreamcast mode feature which allowed players to execute the
same simple reversals as in DOA. I hate this. And i realized that most of the posts here hinted that this style of play is preferred.
If it is, why? I like the arcade mode which requires input to achieve a specific reversal rather than making it easier with the DC mode.

P.S Remember the opening cinema in DOA where Jahn is doing a string combo on zack? hhmm.......wonder where they went with that.

DOA is a scrub rip-off game, and will always suck no matter how many they make.

 

heheh I just wanted to say how much I hate DOA, and back then I never got to reply, but anyhow your right it dosent make much sense to reply to a thread that old.

 

mike, just ban the asshole already. what the fuck is keeping you "moderators"? never before has anyone so perfectly matched even the most vague and limp-wristed criteria for banning. he contributes nothing. he spams constantly - 99.999% of his posts are utterly pointless bandwidth wasting garbage. he brings back old posts. he posts porn. he is insulting and entirely USELESS. nowadays i check in only once in a while and read a few posts, but most of the dozens of unread posts seem to be bullshit useless one-line posts by chuck. i mean really, just what the FUCK else does one have to do to prove utter uselessness?

 

motherfucker......i can't believe a stupid motherfucker like you...you know what? bleh..

 

DOA is an alright game, it just that need to do more damage balancing. They did more balancing in DOA3.

Its good, that you really have to think about the attack you are going to perform, that your opponent can reverse you at anytime and can't attack blindly.
