I know, and thats weird for me. He is a big fighting game dude, I dunno where he stands on DOA but its awesome to hear him excited about it. I hope everything besides the story resonates with him.
I really wanna pick this game up now.

May I ask which fighting games have been revolutionary/ Innovative this gen? What unique mechanics they have that were not done before?
So far I've seen people calling it like it brings nothing new to the table but most fighting games what have been doing is just giving more flashy cinematic specials.
The reviewers seem to want the games to do more things than they should.
Cinematic Specials? (Nothing more than flashier looking special moves)
X-Rays MK9
Power Blows DOA5
Ultras SF4
Critical Edge (SCIV-V)
etc
Fleshed out Story mode? (Does it change the core mechanics of the game besides being cinematic or book style? Not really but its a nice extra)
MK9
SCV (Kinda tried even if it failed)
Persona 4 Arena
BlazBlue
Dead or Alive 5
A new game mode that changes the gameplay?
Tekken 6 Mission Mode (Kill it with fire)
ohhh I forgot the most revolutionary thing this generation in fighting games! Gems in Street fighter X Tekken lol.

I think you'll have to wait until the PSN store updates, which isn't at midnight. Not sure what time it updates specifically though.

You had an ability where you can charge attack into super/animation and choose the partition to launch them in?
It'll probably be when it updates on Tuesday afternoon.

Online netcode feels like Tekken 6. Gone against 10 or so different region opponents and haven't found a 'good' feeling match yet.
DOA5 looks very jaggy too, atleast on the 360.
I'm was being sarcastic since those are nothing more than flashier looking special moves overall.
Fleshed out Story Modes existed in Ps1 with Tobal and Ps2/GC/Xbox had Mortal Kombat Armageddon and some others had them too. (Memory fails)
Most games in terms of new mechanics havent done much than add up flashier looks and fancier names to existing things while tweaking some of the things that were maybe not so polished before in other games.
There might have been 1 or 2 that might have done something new but my memory isn't bringing anything up at the moment. Anyhow back to DOA.
Yay, CE get.
Make an unboxing video!
I'm jelly of those who are getting the game now and at 12am T_T
I love TTT2, but their character models are bad, especially the female characters.
I like some male characters, and they did good job on muscles (like Jin, Kazuya, etc). But like when I look at Asuka, at character customization, its ridiculous.

Bet you wished they looked like their cg models, or the guest art
haha thats asking way too much. But I do wish they were little more polished.

I ment the art direction on their characters. The in game models don't really resemble the characters cg models. It's like the in game characters for the most part are horrible clones.
This is horrible.
Lets wait till more people have it.
FSD some people after the patch said it runs smoother and had around 10 smooth matches (Posted it earlier)
As it stands things look pretty mixed.
yea I agree with that. But males characters look very similar to the CG for the most part.
Anyways, are the reviews going to hit when it hits midnight? or sometime during middle of tomorrow?

Netcode better not suck, I love team Ninja, but that's the one thing you make sure is good to go. I'll check it out tonight.

It's going to be really fucked up if the first 3D fighter with online ends up having the shittiest online out of the four released this year.

First two reviews on Metacritic are a 6 and a 7. D:
Don't understand the complaints about bringing nothing new. DOA 5 seems to be a massive leap over the last game. What else can Team Ninja do?

Give reviewers gift baskets. Pretty rude of them not to.
Art book is mostly filled with pictures of the in-game characters in their costumes. There's about 7 pages with concept art of characters in costume. The last bit it is just pictures of stages.
Here's the soundtrack list I guess if anyone cares. I'm pretty new to the franchise so I can't comment on the quality of the soundtrack.
Aside from that there's two slips of paper; one for a digital snippet of the Kokoro section from the Prima guide and the other for the swimsuits. Oh yeah, and a poster. My lenses are acting funny hmmm.

Vandal.net (big Spanish web) gave the game a 9.2

Just played this for about an hour, I'm pretty disappointed with this. After the amount of time I've put into DOAU2 and 4 I was looking forward to this a bit. It feels like the same old crap. I'll give it a shot again someday when it gets a lot cheaper. It runs smooth on PS3 at least and I love that they kept the thing if you pick random characters and stage it keeps switching at rematch.
Don't murder me gaf.

Is the core gameplay going to change after an hour? Its just my opinion. I'm not calling it trash or anything.
do they count in metacritics?
Actually a bit more detailed than others.
They still say the game plays pretty much the same with some improvements (Not completely detailed) and smooth as the others. I think I saw a a bit of talk of cliff hangers and power blows. The game overall still remains fun to play and it seems they enjoyed the story mode. They talked about VF characters low quality audio compared to DOA cast. They liked the music and overall said that they can't really say which is better between DOA5 and TTT2 since both are great games that appeal different audiences and can probably coexist.
Did you learned to use Critical burst, Power Blows, Side Steps and other changes not mentioned that pretty much change things on the way you play? Sure you can play it like DOA4 but playing against people who learned to play DOA5 like DOA5 and not older games will probably have more advantage around you since you are playing like an old game.

What was your opinion on powerblows, critical bursts, side stepping being evasive, the brand new wall system? You won't be able the biggest changes in the system with less than an hour of play time.
Yea I noticed this since they introduced Akira. They do feel completely different, like someone just dubbed over.
I hate that I'll have to wait until Wednesday until my copy arrives.
I know 2D graphics weren't included in the scope of your post, but we've been pretty spoiled by those this gen, too.
Yeah, their shitty bitrate voices bother me the most.

if max is saying its T6 netcode quality then I'm nervous.
Pre-release netcode (day -1) can be very indicative of the overall netcode. I wonder if its will be umvc3's level of "good" netcode.

Servers are still in the process of being put up and a limited amount of people have it. From what I've been hearing experiences have been improving by the day.
