True, but that doesn't absolve it of criticism for missing features at the same price point.
Very true as well.

"Eh, that's Ok for a first-time effort."
What? No, it's not.
Dead or Alive more like Dead on Arrival.
Looking at history it is. You expect a Japanese studio to jump into steam and knock it out of the park? In a genre that even when done right has limited reach on pcs? It's shit that it's like that but like many things in life you have to live with it.

While I get the outrage, I think it is fine insofar as them promising it within the three months. If it's four months later and they don't have the online? Rage, sure. But this is Tecmo/Team Ninja's first Steam/PC title. For all we know, they're scrapping the terrible network code on PSN/XBL's console versions and doing Steamworks, which seeing Capcom use... wasn't good. They may need that 3 months to not have a Ultra Street 4 Steamworks port situation. I'm fine with it.
If it's a genuine attempt at getting the netcode done correctly then I can deal with the delay. I just hope that this isn't foreshadowing a poor port in general.
Online play in fighters is generally inferior, dont really see the issue
I get this impression Japanese developers think the PC audience is so desperate for games they'll accept inferior port jobs. Someone must be feeding this to them. Probably a little corporate espionage from Sony. Keeping the good stuff Playstation exclusive.

Well, it's about the mods after all.
Only reason people will buy this game for the PC is for a perv factor with the incentive of nude mods, and other risque outfit mods. I predict this will not hurt their sales at all.
NEVER buy a game with the promise it will get patched later, its just asking for trouble when the devs bail out.
The Shatter devs promised the PS3 version would get the PC update stuff, it never happened. Capcom promised PS3 trophies for SSF2THDR, it never happended.

WhatAbsolutely disgusting. This is just a publisher rushing out a game so they can start making money ASAP. Buying this used, they won't get a cent from me.
How long after launch until people get the nude mods running. I give it a few hours max.
How is the combat in DoA anyway. It looks as if it would play like Soul Calibur so I might pick this up if it does.
This is their first attempt at a PC release. If people want more Dead or Alive on PC and want to see great PC versions of these games then they should bite the bullet and buy the game even without the online stuff. Imagine what would have happened had people seen the Dark Souls port with its 720p res and said "I'm not buying". Would we have ever gotten the much improved Dark Souls 2?
Obviously I'm not saying gamers should buy every incomplete or bad version that gets thrown their way. But we all know that for many Japanese developers PC gaming is uncharted territory. I think we can find it in our hearts to cut them some slack and support them until they find their bearings on the platform and provide us with the versions we want.

- Improved online multiplayer (Only included in next-gen versions of SoFS)
- Enemy and game design adjustments (Only included in next-gen versions of SoFS)

No, PC gaming is just a super minority in Japan and thus not a big deal to devs that barely focus on the west to begin with. Not like western devs are all super awesome with PC ports either.
Man, if you think japanese devs by and large don't care about sales in the west you're dead wrong. It's a huge market for them.
They sure as heck act like it isn't half the time. People have eyes and can see that with the quality of products or even lack of releases, this is not the case.
This new trend of selling us a game and finishing it later is getting old.
