      samsneeze Why does Zack look well tanned? Also, Zany doesn't equal good. Prime example? Saints Row: The Third

      Saints Row: The third might not be the best game out there, but it WAS pretty fun, and good part of it was because of it's zaniness. Like i mentioned before, might not be terribly memorable, but I had a blast while I played it. And anyway, it surprises me that GR talks about Zack as if he hasn't always been batshit weird like he is in here. I mean, he's ZACK. Also, good to see they are apparently bringing all the known characters back... but are they actually gonna show any new ones?

      Hmm, this Akira thing is kinda crazy. Haven't played DoA a lot since 2 (which I got with my PS2), played a little of DoA3 but really enjoyed DoA2, the combat system was good and I thought the game was always good-looking even compared to some later PS2 games. Hopefully this comes through well.

      I didn't fully agree with Itagaki's design. I loved his style of gameplay but feel it lacked progression from 1 to 2. I don't feel slowing down the combat and adding QTE to a game makes it classy though :P

      And then there is the whole "making the game serious business." Dead or Alive was never meant to be taken serious. It already told a rather competent and coherent story, then, once again, Dimensions came along and jumbled everything together trying to fit it in one game. And they turned anyone not part of the main story into air head one note, dumbasses. Hitomi is a vapid fan girl. All of the men have no problem knocking the women down for talking. Leon is treated like he doesn't exist. Bass is just there to growl. I can't even remember if they even used Tina in the story or not. What about Zack? Is he supposed to be serious too? He's supposed to be Dennis Rodman at the peak of his insanity. There is nothing to take serious about that. The list goes on. Dimensions is not a clear representation of what the series is at all and is just a blueprint for whats to come. “like a magazine for high school kids, with women portrayed in that sense. But that's not what we want.” Wait, what? Did Hayashi ever even play a Dead or Alive game? I mean, I could see where he's coming from, but the women in the series were already plenty strong before he started to make them depend on the men. No seriously. Tina wasn't just some model because it's sexy. She was a model because she was ambitious. She wanted to be something her father could be proud of, although he just wanted her to lead a simple life. This is reinforced by the fact that she lost her mother at a young age. Then there is Christie, who is a fucking assassin. She killed Helena's mother and later became "friends" with her as part of her contract with Donovan. Helena, after losing her mother and having to take over DOATEC, spent her time trying to fix the things she and her family had done. Kasumi and Ayane are the best examples. Kasumi left her village on her own after her brother Hayate went missing during the first tournament. This would mean that she could never return and would be hunted for the rest of her life. Ayane was charged with finding and killing her sister Kasumi. This didn't bother Ayane because she had a growing resentment for Kasumi due to the way she was treated. Ayane is Kasumi's half-sister and her father is Radou. Radou raped Kasumi's mother and was subsequently booted from the village because of it. That and the fact that Ayane was cursed at birth and has the eyes to match. So yeah, there's that and about twenty other characters with great back stories going for them already. Hayashi just wants to turn Dead or Alive into a fanfic and Team Ninja into a joke of a development team. People who say Team Ninja is better post Itagaki are just wrong.

      As a fighting game nut, I'm anticipating doa5 as a 'party' game, without gratuitous T&A it better have a damn good fight system. Even if so, I would still be dissapointed if Christie doesn't have questionable attire
