Dead or Alive 5: Last Round Review Commentary

Another "great" review by IGN

DOA is a poor attempt at a fighting game.

When I play this I would really love to play a version of Virtua Fighter for current gen also.

If u spend some time this is the funnest fighting game out at rn

Boy, that tirade on Marie Rose sure went on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.... seriously though... but the further I read on in the comments the funnier it gets LMAO

I'm Asian and I feel the character design is normal in this game. I know Maria is a child and is like 14yo but it is legal right? Because it just only a game, or ACGN. At least I haven't saw any guys trigger crimes because of playing this game.

Second I also know those girl characters' costumes has a bit skin exposed but they don't show up something that girls should not expose right ? To those of who are argue about girl's costumes, you guys didn't went to beach before ?? There are so many girls wearing bikini and only 10% of skin are covered by a cotton but when you saw the girls costumes in this game you be like "Oh man this is too over those girls are wearing too less and too short , I can't focus on the game because it makes me libido surge, oh no my that thing is erection now".

And finally, if you're only talking about the fighting system in this game, please treat as I said nothing.

isn't Marie Rose like 34 or something? not like she's actually underage or anything

You guys are a bunch of cry baby's get over the fan service man, dead or alive has always had attractive women A true dead or alive fan doesn't play it for the fan service we genuinely love the game due to its fighting mechanics and martial arts variety if you don't like the boobs and ass choose A different outfit for your character and don't purchase dlc you damn cry baby's!!!

How many games have been given 2 xbox 1 users ? I used 2 xbox1 since i swapped 2 ps4 keep gettting free games not 2 mention ps plus ,best descion ive made loving the order at the minute graphics and how smooth it is has my jaw on the floor

So not all Japanese games have to include underaged school girls lol

Too much fan service?????? this is DOA....the game is all about fan service, ign's review on games is starting to irritate me to the bone now. 

Hmm, this game looks rather fun! I know DOA for a long time but never had the system to get it first time around and by the looks of it, its rather quite interesting with its gameplay. Ignoring the huge fact that DOA is very well known to have degrading female characters in small bikinis and really skimpy outfits and that shit no matter what the female characters' age is. That's rather a joke and a shameful display in that part for scumbags to enjoy with the females they rather have "sexy" looking for them to masturbate with. Ignoring that part, I think I would enjoy its core gameplay and since its free for the PS4, I couldn't resist.

Makes no sense to me how it gets a lower review than doa5 vanilla got from IGN which was 8.8 so if it has even better online play and same gameplay how does it get a lower score?

How does IGN still make money off of such fake and lying reviews. Why am I watching this?

These guys talked about the most random things. Trashed marie rose when she's a good character if you know how to use her. So I bet they'll also trash tekken 7's lucky Chloe for the same thing like a lot of people did. Then compared it to street fighter when there both similar to the fact that they've released more iterations of the same game and releasing that very same on ps4. And I say hell yea finally more fighting games on ps4. Then dlc yes they made a sign on the menu and yes it doesn't away but to me they're just asking to check it out simple as that. I mean complaining about characters when you get them for free once you get the full game is just weird. And I say free because if you didn't purchase these characters on ultimate and purchased last round you basically got them and other costumes for a free rather than buying them on core fighters. This review didn't talk about the tweaks they did from ultimate and there is a lot or the fact they added more customizable options like changing hairstyles adding glasses or the they added new music. There was much negative about the little things like how Marie Rose looks like and clone characters when street fighter has clone characters, tekken has clone characters in tekken tag 2. People still use them. Well all I know that if there is too much negative opinions on this game that they make hard to see who is really enjoying this game. Though some is reasonable like in Xbox's case like game crashing but anyway you get the gist

I shouldn't even be surprised by the whole "fan service" complaint. IGN has always produced some of the most incompetent reviews I've ever seen. That said, I give these guys credit for at least elaborating on the finer points of this review. It shows some genuine effort on their part to make some actual fucking sense and actually analyze a game deeper for a change. I still haven't gotten over that bullshit Sonic Unleashed review, but after all the gaming press controversy, I'm willing to go back to IGN if they're genuinely interested in improving their content with videos like this.

IGN is literally the worst. 

Rig is the coolest!!

Tina gets fanservice?

"That's okay, it's just Dead or Alive's thing!"

Marie Rose fanservice?

"Not my type of woman, and this sexualization doesn't belong in Dead or Alive"

Deduct points

30+ costumes for female characters...males have about 15 at max.

Anyways I like playing this game in the PC, it's funny and gaming is about having fun !!

I like Marie Rose. ;__; 

So guys i have the original DoA 5 on cd and was thinking about buying DOA Ultimate some time ago, but this shit came less than a year after and now i guess utimate is outdated right? so what to do? Is buying Last Round a better option?

After fails wining love live, Honoka try luck in DOA. Guess no more 3rd season.

Marie Rose is an awesome character! She's really peppy which is fun, but more importantly, she can string together massive, damage dealing combos which is residual deceptive online.

Did he really just call Rachel generic? Do your research on a character before talking crap! She has super human strength due to her fiend blood. I realise she has a few of Spartans moves, And she didnt use a sythe Vince it was the war hammer & Inferno hammer.

I have a super positive view on women and still like the game fan services.  Tired of these stuck up SJW.  Its rated M for mature and there is an audience for this type of game.  Just review the game and stop bitching about stuff most of the buyers love about Dead or Alive

Searching for dead or alive 5 reviews is a guarantee to get my blood boiling. Any people that actually dismiss the series because of the sex appeal or think it would be better without it are ridiculously stupid. The fan service DOES NOTHING to take away from the gameplay. DOA 5 with its Last Round iteration is the most SEXUALIZED to female characters have ever gotten and yet at the same time, it's also the most competitive and in depth the series has gotten. It's like saying Mortal Kombat is worse because it's so gory and violent. If you remove the violence, you remove part of what makes Mortal Kombat what it is.

I love how uncomfortable Marie Rose makes that guy. Her outfits tend to be much more conservative than the other ladies.....you didn't talk about how she plays at all. She is a fun character and if you find her sexual that's your problem.

'Leon feels like a pallette swap of Bayman' HAHHAHAHAH

Never played DOA, but this review is a joke.



Anyways it would be cool if Tifa Lockhart appeared as a fighter.

I swear to god, i dont know how these ign motherfuckers keep on running when they review games by reviewers who are most of the time not fans of the game they are reviewing. At least have very knowledgeable reviewer who are in neutral terms with preferences of fans of the game. =_= Screw you IGN, hope you guy's ever learn from viewers in the comments (may your religious deities or beliefs guide your souls)

I give it 8.7/10

Graphic's not bad but still looks outdated like it's 2 months old.

after a major price drop of $20, it's worth it. I love that it has DOA2 music to replace the newer music for the characters and the stages since I was a DOA fan since the Dreamcast days.

Curious what this review would sound like given the game has turned into a massive T&A DLC platform. The original aesthetic has been thrown out the window...

marie rose is like a hard mode for doa

Doa stop being so sexual we can't take you seriously. MK no way I will see you as a good brawler with all that gore. Street fighter comic graphic really what are you a kids game?

MY GAME RIGHT HERE

I LOVE THIS GAME

dead or alive 4 is better they just shorten the story in doa5

lol its just a game its just entertainment its not real don't apply real life rules against Marie rose her age can also be 13 or 7yo wearing almost nothing on its not real if u must apply real world rules against Marie rose then apply the rules of real life to everything in the games like mkxl for example have to much violence its killing and murdering each other men abused women and so on where is the police & CSI for the killing in mkxl or in all real life rules breaking games so I'm saying u apply the real life rules to one part of the games u don't like apply all the real life rules to all parts of all. the games in general

Xbox 1 triggers still doesn't work LOL

Honoka is actually really good lmao.

IGN is useless.

Didnt Vince get in trouble for sexual harassment

Best 3D Fighting Games = DOA, Tekken
Best 2D Fighting Games = Street Fighter, KOF and Guilty Gear


sorry MK and Smash fans
