Anybody get it yet?

[Tombor]

DOA Volleyball I mean! Yeah its M-Rated so... who's got it?

I don't know if I can describe exactly. The best I can say is that its Girl Crossing. You give gifts to the other girls and they join you as a team mate and you can trade items with other people apparently. I havn't tried that. Also, I guess, there are actually old Tecmo games burried in it.

Yeah, there's a Ninja Gaiden trailer in it.

I have exams tomorrow and friday so my parents refuse to bring me to get it. But on saturday I will have it, for sure.

the more I read about it, the less I want it

Mine just arrived, played a little bit of it. Volleyball game needs work, like new camera angles. In time I may get used to it, but it doesn't compare to Beach Spikers, not sure if the game is trying to.

I gambled all my money away, now to delete, and start a new character :)

Also not sure if I like the time thing, seems to rush me too much.

GS gave it a 6. Gekoo, would say thats at all understandable?

My take on their review was that the Volleyball portion is shallow, and that the side things are too extensive in comparison.

The average customer review at Gamespot was a 7.8 though, so they're off by 1.8, which is a fair amount. I think IGN gave it a 9.2 or something. The game most likely deserves more like a 7.5.

But this game is going to sell just because what type of game it is, not because of the reviews it gets.

6 is understandable, if they review it as a volleyball game. To me, it seems like they're trying for more of the sim, sport-RPG type thing.

Basically, if you want a great volleyball game, this isn't the game you want. The ackward angles you see in the FMVs is how the volleyball game is played. Makes it harder to aim shots, recieve the ball, and everything else. It lacks the depth of Beach Spikers, to say it nicely.

But on the other hand, it's not bad like really annoying. It's more of a casual volleyball game feel. Beach Spikers has the true volleyball competition feel, with rules, a defined court, etc. DOA is more of the recreational game of volleyball.

Beach Spikers is clearly superior when it comes to volleyball, but I wouldn't say DOA isn't good, in it's own way. I haven't really gotten into the presents and everything yet, but I still enjoyed playing what I did so far.

Playing it more I actually find myself liking it more. I like the defense formation stuff and different types of recieveing and attacks. I actually like that aspect a fair bit better than Beach Spikers. I also like how the items and accessories and swimsuits actually effect how they play too. Its becoming better and better as I progress. And I don't even do the pervy stuff (seriously).

You mean like pressing R to zoom in on your character, and control the camera? :) And the buldge is still there, not noticeable except when they sit in a few positions, and then it's bad, much much worse than you've seen in screenshots.

Women really do have a slight 'bulge' down there. Maybe you need some first-hand experience? ;) jk Although maybe it's mistakingly exaggerated in the game?

So they managed to perfect everything but the cameltoe? I'll have to look into this. :eek:

So... did you get the game last night Dyne?

I decided to get Panzer Dragoon Orta today instead, it just somehow looks more appealing than DOA:XV.

[Dyne]

I just got it today. :D

Needless to say, I've spent every hour since then playing. I'll save my comments for my review. ;)
