You could probably find them in stores if you go at the right time. Wal-Mart is supposed to have them in stock today as well as Best Buy.

Anyone play DOA4 yet and how's the FIGHTING part of it and all that? How's it compare to say, Soul calibur or Tekken?

Well, it depends on how you play it really. If you play it as a button masher then it is a button masher. If you learn the combos and moves of the different characters then it is much more fun.

Can it be beaten easy with just button mashing though? I hate that...
How do you like it? (if you own it)

The final few fights including the boss fight can be beaten with button mashing if you are really good at button mashing and get a little lucky. Otherwise, they take a little skill to beat.

Still, the game is much more fun playing againt another person either in the room with you or on-line.

My biggest problem with DOA4 is that they made the game M when it really didn't have to be.
Remove the bad words in the subtitles, and it would have gotten a T with no problem. Have rated M games sold better on the Xbox?

Well, I'm not so sure. While I had no problems with the cut scenes my wife made my nephew turn his head on a couple of them. Probably a borderline M imho.

I haven't seen all of them yet, I'm just a little over half way done, but so far the mermaid scene is the only one I'd call M rated. The rest are no worst than Star Wars EP3.

Yeah, between the scantily dressed women with the jiggly boobs and a couple of the cutscenes, I'm not suprised that it got an M rating.

OK, I'll keep my mouth shut until I finish the bottom row of fighers. Jiggly boobs shouldn't make for an M rating though, IMO.

It's not just the jigglies but a combination of the jigglies, the costumes, the cut-scenes, and the language.

Heh....check out some of Christie's costumes. They barely cover any skin at all.

Yeah, but that's my point. They could have left the bad language out, and probably gotten a T rating. It didn't really do anything for the game, so why have it?

The costumes are no worst than I've seen in other fighting games. One that sticks out for me is Xmen Next Dimension. Storm's costume doesn't cover her butt, except for the crack, but it got a T rating. The Tomb Raider series was all about the boobs, but it too was T rated.

doa4 is nothing more than a button masher. at zero hour, i won a tournament where i went up against a friend of mine who plays doa3 on the regular, and i havent even EVER really played doa games to begin with.

I ended up beating him because I knew how to mash the counters some way quicker than he could perform the moves. if you aren't into button mashers, dont get the game.

atleast just rent it first before you buy it, i'm trying to help you out man

Thanks for the info
I hope they have a demo up to download soon, that would rock then

As long as it is taking them to get some of the demos up, you'd probably be better off renting. I'm still waiting on them to put the Full Auto demo up.

True. Sadly my blockbuster doesn't carry any 360 games yet. I don't know why...Hrrrm. I'll have to try hollywood video

For some reason, only the Blockbusters that have a GameRush store inside have 360 games available.

I don't know, there are quite a few demos on live to date. I'm not sure there going to put all the demos on live due to coordinating with OXM because that is where I got my full auto demo. I'm sure OXM may have some exclusives to maintain subscription levels.

I've had my 360 for a few days now and I am loving it. Been playing PGR3 and Geometry Wars for starters and both are great games. IMO PGR3 wouldn't be half as entertaining without its online capabilities. Anyway if anyone wants to add me as a friend:

Question about DOA4 on xbox live ...

when playing, does it have a slight delay between the button pressing and the action on screen? Like by a split second or anything?

Cause I play street fighter 2 on xbox live, and it has this slight delay. We all know timing is everything in fighters, and this slight delay (its like a SPLIT second) causes me losses sometimes because timing is so critical in this game when countering and everything.

It's not lag in general because this happens EVERY match in street fighter 2. I am just wondering if DOA4 does this. I'm not a huge DOA fan at all, but I would like a fighter for the 360 if i can play it flawlessly on line, and i have a $50 gift card to best buy too heh.

 

[EngenZerO]

ok... i am going through withdrawl... while i was on vacation i was forutinate enough to take my 360 w/ me and play on a sony 60in HDTV and a Onkyo Home Theater (5.1).

now I have come back to my apartment, and my 50in TV is still broken sitting on my coffee table and all i have is a 13in wega. i could bring the 13in wega from my bedroom and hook it up outside... i would still have the 5.1 but no hdtv and a small small picture... i don't know what to do. gah!!!

sony better hurry up and send this replacement. i only have 1 fruit left to find in kameo... i also have doa4 and want to open that up... nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

 

[purbeast0]

Some of the xbox live arcade leaderboards have been erased. My 1.35 million geometry wars score is now gone .

But I'll get it back, my first run I got like 870K. It was like #31 on the leaderboard at the time lol.

Not that I've noticed.

not even like a SPLIT second? like, does playing against someone on xbox live feel %100 identical to when you play single player against the computer?

I bet that "feel" is going to be very subjective. It may feel "100% identical" to me, yet not to you.


In other news, I played GUN for a bit yesterday... And while the story (some of the voiceovers may be the best I've ever heard) and gameplay actually seems pretty good, the graphics are absolutely horrible for a 360 game. It truly does look like a PS2 game, except at higher res.

These screenshots tell the whole story:

• Whore in bathtub
• Awesome grass textures!

There's probably a little but I don't notice it unless the game starts to lag.

Yep very disapointing, I cannot justify spending $60 on a port that looks that HORRIBLE..... Now if it was $20-$40 MAYBE, but for $60 it better have the graphics up to par also, even if it is good in gameplay.

The graphics are pretty darn poor. I will say it is a half decent game though. I rented it with my free 2 month sub to Gamefly and I've been pleased with it so far. I'm about 50% through the game now.
