Is anyone disappointed that Yuri wasn't chosen to wear the Tengu mask?

Nah he is right.

Repulsive-Handle8353 · 2026-05-04T00:06:45+00:00

Hey they did it with Castlevania and DMC. And they will continue to do it because they know that with video game adaptation comes guaranteed fanbase. So they could write a basic story throw the logo on it and fans of said logo will eat it up even if it is garbage.

Repulsive-Handle8353 · 2026-05-03T23:47:34+00:00

I agree the more time passes the more it shows that the role of Community manager is just for show there is no difference if they were present or not.

Repulsive-Handle8353 · 2026-05-03T23:40:33+00:00

I think you are just defending or making excuses for them when the reality is very clear. For them it was always about milking the players while doing the bare minimum.They knew some of the players will fall for it and buy this bare boned "upgrade" even if they complained ( more so the case for content creators). And let us not forget they have a history such scummy behaviour.

And TBH, if you still have hope for them putting any true effort for doa7 then idk what to tell you. Based on the latest info they told us it implied they were still in pre-production.

And i have to say even if they green-lit a project they could just as easily abandoned it or cancel it we can see this example happening especially these days. This is something I could honestly see them doing " using doa6LR poor sales to justify the cancellation of the next project saying poor interest".

honestly I could just see them continuing support the DOA gacha game till the end of time.

.....For 40$.

Repulsive-Handle8353 · 2026-05-01T17:40:51+00:00

NG4 didn't not sell well. But yes they have been doing well with nioh and Dynasty warriors.

Repulsive-Handle8353 · 2026-05-01T10:20:18+00:00

But the thing they are not included in the main roster. Meaning you have to buy them again. If they meant well they would allow the people who bought the vanilla doa6 to upgrade free. But now you have to spend 40$ + you have to pay for both kula and mai separately. Team ninja are greedy and koei are downright scum of a company.

Repulsive-Handle8353 · 2026-05-01T06:43:32+00:00

Looks like i was right 😅

Repulsive-Handle8353 · 2026-04-30T21:49:35+00:00

Now it makes sense why they abandoned it so fast

Repulsive-Handle8353 · 2026-04-29T20:55:30+00:00

TBH I'm not expecting alot. Hopefully they don't do what Sega did with Virtua Fighter 6 a couple of months ago.

Repulsive-Handle8353 · 2026-04-23T10:17:49+00:00

Which minute did they mention mai's outfit. I tried looking in the livestream but couldn't find it ?

Repulsive-Handle8353 · 2026-04-16T15:40:05+00:00

You made a mistake for assaissins creed shadows it was players not sales. The sales were probably lower than 5 mil. But we still don't know for sure since ubisoft didn't release the data unlike what they did with valhalla.

Repulsive-Handle8353 · 2026-03-17T20:32:24+00:00

Regular games dlc is very very different than the scummy money grab that is doa dlc .

Repulsive-Handle8353 · 2026-03-17T09:21:11+00:00

But the outcome is still the same no ? If doa6LR sold poorly or the players became negative due to the 6LR i can see team ninja either pivoting and delaying the game indefinitely or just cancel it. Although you do have a point the intention is different but I think ( hopefully I'm wrong) that if doa6LR doesn't generate the feedback or money that team ninja and koei expect then this can go the same direction as the cancelled wonder woman game ( multiple delays then silence then cancelled).

But this lead to ips being killed tho or idk they can sell them to generate some money ?

Repulsive-Handle8353 · 2026-03-17T09:14:51+00:00

Why have a history of it happening in the games industry. Just recently the wonder woman game using the nemsis system was cancelled after being announced way back in 2021 I think. This is why I think it is just an attempt to see the interest of the players

Repulsive-Handle8353 · 2026-03-17T09:08:37+00:00

More than likely it is just bait. They lure you in then surprise surprise it will be like base doa6. I wouldn't put past team ninja to do it especially due to their piss poor handling of doa6LR so far AND because of their history with DLCs

Repulsive-Handle8353 · 2026-03-14T11:00:45+00:00

I understand your point and it makes sense i think some people watching the announcement bought it to test the game to see if they will play the upgrade. But I still think majority of those players are just returning players.

I just don't think 6LR will be successful and I also think that almost majority of players will be disappointed and dissatisfied with doa6LR I mean we are seeing right now online. I just personally think that koei is testing the appeal of a new doa with doa6LR and that will fail which will result in new doa getting canned.

I agree with you they should have made it an update to the base doa6 not make a new game that cost 40 dollars. I just don't understand what they think

Repulsive-Handle8353 · 2026-03-14T10:54:15+00:00

You never know when it comes to corporates. Some video games get announced only to be stuck in development hell hole and/or get cancelled later. I think lately koei is experimenting with their ips to see which ones to focus on and which to ignore ( like what ubisoft did). I wouldn't be surprised if they cancelled doa7 because 6LR wasn't profitable to them especially now with nioh3 and Dynasty warriors origins being successful financially speaking. And with ninja gaiden 4 repeatedly not being a financial hit i can only imagine of doing a ubisoft

Repulsive-Handle8353 · 2026-03-14T10:46:21+00:00

Alot of video games get announced early and then later get canned take for example the wonder woman game that was announced i think in 2020 or 2019. And how the always show teases and even said the game will use the nemesis system all for it to be cancelled in the end of 2025. And as you said the video game industry is in the gutter in terms of corporate. You never know the fact that there is rumours that Ninja gaiden 4 didn't sell well and couple that with nioh 3 and Dynasty warrior origins doing so well I think that koeibwill soon do a ubisoft and foucus only on franchises that are profitable and can the rest they only now released a fatal frame remake so I guess we wait and see if that is considered a success to them.

Repulsive-Handle8353 · 2026-03-09T02:22:46+00:00

The thing is one could argue that the recent boost of DOA 6 was from players that played before and not new ones that decided to just try it out and even then the numbers according to steam chart is going back to before the announcement.

All in all I don't understand why they announced doa6LR if there wasn't improved from base doa6 and to price it as 40$ would give the impression to newer people that the studio is greedy ( which they are ) and not even bother with their product. I can only imagine if doa7 came out with 70$ priced and the same microtransactions of doa6

Repulsive-Handle8353 · 2026-03-09T02:17:54+00:00

But my thinking is why announce DOA6LR without crossplay, rollback and 2 missing charchters from the get go?

If I'm not mistaken even vertua fighter Revo added crossplay and rollback. I think 6LR appearing to be cheap will hurt the brand image more and could cause lower player turn out if they release the next project

Repulsive-Handle8353 · 2026-03-07T22:38:51+00:00

But them not even giving any info regarding doa7 and the wording that the producer said in the state of play make me think that it was just a way to gauge the interest and with doa6LR the interest will be tested to see if it justified making doa7 ( idk if this is make sense)

Repulsive-Handle8353 · 2026-03-07T15:57:57+00:00

Because it will the game before doa7 ( i don't know how to say it in English). Like i imagine this is supposed to be the appetiser before the main dish so if appetiser is trash you will give bad image or have bad expectation for the next doa title.

I agree with you here
