That's exactly why I think 4 is the best. 5 and 6 put way less emphasis on stage design, which is bizarre because that's what separates DOA from other fighters.
The fact they are Playable again on Modern Consoles is a Blessing. I am right with ya, DOA4 is without a doubt my Favorite and the best in the series. It's just perfect. It also has my Personal Favorite version of ZACK.
DoA 3 is still my favorite but 4 is a close second, and DoA 2 Ultimate would right after that. Itagaki's work on the series, especially on the original Xbox and the 360 still holds up extremely well today. It's crazy that DoA 4 launched in 2005 and still was more vibrant and much more fun to play than DoA 5 which was very late into the 360's life in 2012. DoA 6 I didn't really care for it all, not a bad game but nothing compared to the older ones.
I loved the way the hair moved in the 4th game. Kokoro’s debut and hair was everything 😂❤ so was kasumi’s ponytail. Tecmo will always be in my heart 💜 lol
I still feel this has the best lobby system in all fighting games to this day. It’s so easy for a casual audience to stay invested in the game when there’s so much to do win or lose.
Never been to your channel before. It was super rad seeing some DOA4! I really would've like to see you take unlocked Gen Fu online! Amazing people were still playing. Just started playing a bit again myself. So nostalgic, though I was never that great 😅
I was playing DOA4 so much back in the days. The best fighting game I have played. Miss it som times. Like now when I start to TH-cam it. 😆 need to buy it again.
Imo DOA4 was the best in the series... it had great balance with the triangle system and brilliant stage and character design. I think when they started changing things it made the later games worse rather than better.
Completely agree. The costumes in 5 and 6 are meh and the stories in 5 and 6 are just not written or executed well. What I’m hoping for for DOA7 is DOA 4 like story content and progression CGI endings DOA 4 online lobbies Team battle Tag team battles ALLLLL characters that are unlockable instead of paying (gen fu, alpha 152, phase 4, Leon, ein, tengu) No more S or break blows But I bet we won’t be given any of this let alone doa7
I literally bought an Xbox 360 for this game alone. Also mad at myself because Xbox one and Xbox series are backwards compatible right after I bought the Xbox 360.
I couldn’t be happier to own an xbox because you can play all games none stop and i bought an xbox 360 console few months ago just for the game! And now we can play them and buy them digitally! And honestly i prefer digital over discs I could be from the minority. And i see that brought back that hurting sound to the intro again… If you really want to keep it at least keep its volume down because it really hurts the ear
I prefer to play games digitally because of the convenience but still want own a physical copy. So I usually buy the games I really like twice... lol. Is that wrong?
@@FrameCounting no it is not, and as Long as you can do it, do not feel bad about it. Funny enough, if that is funny to start with, I do the same as well, with my fav games. I own a copy that is physical, and a copy on xbox and ps4 and then on steam as well. Just to support the game. I won the collector edition for dead or alive 6. and I won the deluxe edition on PC and xbox as well, plus PS4 - because I like to have the game as digital. And I do have the Disc. So you are not alone friend, if anything that helps the studio and help us get more games of the games we love and that is how franchises are born speaking of which, I really hope we see dead or alive 7 but I kinda lost hope but oh well.
My faorite DOA game, EVER. From stages, the frenetic gameplay, the story, to the onine lobby, the everlasting fun and even the frustrating side of it (a.k.a. dealing with Alpha-152)... DOA4 has it all.
Love these games . 4 i had so many great games but ended up losing all but I'll make more fights. Yeah I'm going to buy that manuel, It got me into playing as Brad Wong after being Zack nd Ein main.
first fighter i bought - 360 DAYS. Impressed online works on the series x! DOA 3 first ever og xbox title i can recall playing. When BC i picked 'em up. DEAD OR ALIVE XTREME BEACH VOLLEYBALL: TROPICAL BLUE my fanfic you can read online, various websites. Pretty Tecmo enthused those days.
The first 2, 3 years of that generation, i thought that the potential of those consoles was unlimited. It seemed like every other month, some game pushed the graphical boundaries further
Best game in the entire series🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 the endings for each character were beautiful. Wish we get rereleased version of the game from like the PlayStation store, because it would be cool if they really did.
I really wish Koei would launch the 4 fisrt DOAs on a collection for PS4/5 and PC, I mean 5 is my favorite on the franchise but the others still remain great to this day
Personally I’m not too good at games. And this game is by far one of the most punishing things ever. I’m not even on the hardest mode but each time I press a SINGLE button I get countered and lose half my hp immediately after, causing me to lose the round. I just wanna unlock all the characters but it’s so damn punishing and difficult for me.
I'll always appreciate xbox having amazing backwards compatibility. Their controllers are extremely out of date, but the backwards compatibility is amazing. RIP that division
I'm trying to figure out how to just beat the computer because i want to play as the dumb halo character and i keep getting comboed and counter thrown to death a hundred times in a row by the computer and don't understand anything about this game and it hurts
so....anyone have any tips for being... good at this game? I play fighters casually, but i usually perform better than I do in DOA4 haha, even across the rest of the series.
DoA was not the same after Itagaki left... i still liked DoA 5 but it never reached the peak DoA 4 set... and 6 is just ugh... i dont think we ever gonna see a DoA game again. thx Team Soulslike
0:21 " And If I wanna play them, I could plug the old consoles and who wanna do that?" The people who wanna play them in authentic way. And there's nothing wrong with it. SMH
The biggest issue i have with Dead or Alive 4: It is a Xbox 360 game, not an Original Xbox game. All backwards compatible OG Xbox games are getting rendered and played at the highest available resolution on your Xbox One or Series, which is even 4k on a One x and Series x. Whereas Xbox 360 games are getting played in their original resolution. And that shows in case of DOA4! It's a total jaggie-fest on my big 4k Oled TV. And as soon as I saw how *FAR* more gorgeous DOA3 and especially Ultimate 2 look, I couldnt go back to 4 anymore, as sorry as I am.
It kill me the game is so hard and the lol al is cheap. No ai is ai it just the game reading the buttons and reacting to it. The computer know the buttons pressed before it does it on screen.
Buy it cheap it's hard as hell I had it since day 1 lost my save since the guy that made it decided oh let's put you can't copy you save I've never played it too much after that. Oh the moron that made it got fired from tecmo then made a garbage game for Nintendo that noa did not want to release and has never made another game since. Oh did this guy tell you there is only normal and hard difficulty no easy. Have fun with alpha 152 your going to need it and probably a new controller too after the rage makes you snap it in half. You could get the disc for 5 bucks all the time it that bad of difficulty. I just played and my character clipped through alpha 152 it's that bad the game cheats like hell.
6:15 какойто бред, за всех скрытых персонажей можно играть в режими истории, просто у них не будет сюжетных видео И почему у пьяного мастера выпивка не в руке а на поясе, а у другого скина нет бакала мартини в руке? Это какойто расшириное издание которое уступает оригиналу?
What Crack are you smoking the game sucks it's too dang hard. Please show me that it's not the most annoying end boss except for maybe gill in street fighter 3.
I will always love DOA4 for its stage designs.
That's exactly why I think 4 is the best. 5 and 6 put way less emphasis on stage design, which is bizarre because that's what separates DOA from other fighters.
They look so good even now!
es el mejor, nunca ha sido igualado, menos superado!
Fantastico !
I’m happy to know people are still playing this game!
Love this game!
@@FrameCounting Ehm.. Netplay wise Agree. Story wise Pref DoA3
Always show appreciation to old games because they have a certain charm to them that will never die~
They have something that many modern games lack passion and effort.
@@azunkor422 that's true!
The fact they are Playable again on Modern Consoles is a Blessing.
I am right with ya, DOA4 is without a doubt my Favorite and the best in the series. It's just perfect. It also has my Personal Favorite version of ZACK.
and the best ending of Zack, too!
(Nicky and the fight with the stop motion-esque skeleton XD)
@@icantnamebatzarro A classic that I will never get tired of.
DoA 3 is still my favorite but 4 is a close second, and DoA 2 Ultimate would right after that.

DoA 6 I didn't really care for it all, not a bad game but nothing compared to the older ones.
DOA3 on the OG Xbox will always have a special place in my heart.... Way ahead of its time.
I loved the way the hair moved in the 4th game. Kokoro’s debut and hair was everything 😂❤ so was kasumi’s ponytail. Tecmo will always be in my heart 💜 lol
Kokoro’s hair and her kimono 👘!!! 🤯
Mannnnn The DOA Ribbon effect “” is what I call it. I love the hair in that game too. Nothin can ever compare
And there are lobbies online - many players jumped back to the game including me haha 😆
I still feel this has the best lobby system in all fighting games to this day. It’s so easy for a casual audience to stay invested in the game when there’s so much to do win or lose.
yeah. 4 was really a peak of this series.
Honestly if you look at the very first doa and doa2 you will can see that all doa games were ahead their times with graphics and animations.
Ah... 😍 the last DoA where the nice costumes were actually unlockables and not just all DLC & 100+ bikinis
Agreed!
Plenty of nice unlockable costumes in DOA5.
Never been to your channel before. It was super rad seeing some DOA4! I really would've like to see you take unlocked Gen Fu online! Amazing people were still playing. Just started playing a bit again myself. So nostalgic, though I was never that great 😅
I was playing DOA4 so much back in the days. The best fighting game I have played. Miss it som times. Like now when I start to TH-cam it. 😆 need to buy it again.
I used to play this game alot back in the day.
6 has it's flaws but it was still a Doa game. Even the worst Doa game is more fun than the best mortal Kombat
Imo DOA4 was the best in the series... it had great balance with the triangle system and brilliant stage and character design. I think when they started changing things it made the later games worse rather than better.
Completely agree. The costumes in 5 and 6 are meh and the stories in 5 and 6 are just not written or executed well.
What I’m hoping for for DOA7 is
DOA 4 like story content and progression
CGI endings
DOA 4 online lobbies
Team battle
Tag team battles
ALLLLL characters that are unlockable instead of paying (gen fu, alpha 152, phase 4, Leon, ein, tengu)
No more S or break blows
But I bet we won’t be given any of this let alone doa7
The narrator said that this game isn't very balanced though.
@@jp3813 To each their own I guess
DOA4 Is The Most FUN Dead Or Alive Game Ever ,very true
I literally bought an Xbox 360 for this game alone. Also mad at myself because Xbox one and Xbox series are backwards compatible right after I bought the Xbox 360.
Strange that the manual of my physical copy has Kokoro on the cover.
Maybe we have different editions of the game.
fun is subjective ,, 4 is the most fun for you,, the most fun for me is 5 last round
No shit?!
I'm sorry to hear that.
I couldn’t be happier to own an xbox because you can play all games none stop and i bought an xbox 360 console few months ago just for the game!

I really wish Koei would launch the 4 fisrt DOAs on a collection for PS4/5 and PC, I mean 5 is my favorite on the franchise but the others still remain great to this day
@@davi_sem_d4769 I’m sure they’ll make a collection in the future
DOA4 is such a fantastic game! And it looks great even to this day!
I wish I played DOA4, I played DOA3 and U2 so much.
Personally I’m not too good at games. And this game is by far one of the most punishing things ever. I’m not even on the hardest mode but each time I press a SINGLE button I get countered and lose half my hp immediately after, causing me to lose the round.

1st time on your channel you seem really genuine i shall stick around hermano
Chill vibes I just wanted to know if it's fun but got invested in eliiots arc 😂✌️
I just bought doa4 and its my first doa, i have no clue how to play it but im fighting the bots and not really learning
The ps3 is the goat for still having free online play.
I still play this game but when i try to play multiplayer it searches and finds nothing maybe not much players online anymore?
No one plays online anymore unfortunately
I also love playing ein in doa 2, hitomi is fun but just not the same. But I prefer Elliot over gen fu, but mostly cause I suck at gen fu.
DoA3 is Best, DoA4 is already over the Top.
I'll always appreciate xbox having amazing backwards compatibility. Their controllers are extremely out of date, but the backwards compatibility is amazing. RIP that division
What makes this better than DOA 5?
Amazing vid bro
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
Half the pages in that Manual didn’t open…
I'm trying to figure out how to just beat the computer because i want to play as the dumb halo character and i keep getting comboed and counter thrown to death a hundred times in a row by the computer and don't understand anything about this game and it hurts
DOA4 is my least favorite, it’s just too broken. AI is just as Hard as MK2
Same.
Which controller has the best d-pad for 360?
Elite
so....anyone have any tips for being... good at this game? I play fighters casually, but i usually perform better than I do in DOA4 haha, even across the rest of the series.
DOA4 is super fast. I'd start with just sticking w/ one character.
Pick a ninja
Learn how to counter well
Is there a digital version to play online?
Yes, check the description. I just added the digital link to the game.
We tried, Dead or alive 4 won't work on xbox series x. How did you get it to work?
The online portion of it doesn't work anymore but the game should still work.
I agree! Its my fav
I just wish it worked on emulator. I dont want to buy a console just for this game
DoA was not the same after Itagaki left... i still liked DoA 5 but it never reached the peak DoA 4 set... and 6 is just ugh... i dont think we ever gonna see a DoA game again. thx Team Soulslike
0:21 " And If I wanna play them, I could plug the old consoles and who wanna do that?"
The people who wanna play them in authentic way.
And there's nothing wrong with it. SMH
These are the best 4 better than 5 & 6 imo 😀
Why isn’t PlayStation doing this , I would literally repay to play some of these games
Animal love Dead or Alive

DOA 4 best
Resident Evil 4 best
There's something about the number 4, don't you think....?
*Were?*
fun is subjective .. i like 5 a lot more
I hate that Eliot replaced Gen Fu
I mean he never really replaced him (doa6 does not exist to me)
Fun is the key. Realism is overrated
It kills me that doa 4 isn't in 4kon series x
It kill me the game is so hard and the lol al is cheap. No ai is ai it just the game reading the buttons and reacting to it. The computer know the buttons pressed before it does it on screen.
I should have gotten an xbox
got it bought and will be playing for the first time tonight
I'm more of a fan of parts one and two but I'll check this one out
Buy it cheap it's hard as hell I had it since day 1 lost my save since the guy that made it decided oh let's put you can't copy you save I've never played it too much after that. Oh the moron that made it got fired from tecmo then made a garbage game for Nintendo that noa did not want to release and has never made another game since.

И почему у пьяного мастера выпивка не в руке а на поясе, а у другого скина нет бакала мартини в руке? Это какойто расшириное издание которое уступает оригиналу?
so
why?
Watch the video my friend
"Genfu is cool and Eliot is not" I BEG YOUR PARDON"
lol
I'm s DOA5LR addict
Last of its kind. Fighting games are normie slop now
🤔"FUN" is subjective and Dead Or Alive 5 Last Round is objectively better and the best DOA to date...
Doa6 is so disappointing
What Crack are you smoking the game sucks it's too dang hard. Please show me that it's not the most annoying end boss except for maybe gill in street fighter 3.
It wasn't that hard. Sure, Alpha-152 did have an unfair advantage, but there were still ways around some of her moves.
I wish this was the case for PlayStation
