Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro All original DLC included
Being that this is basically a "game of the year" release all previous DLC is included with the game making for a definitive edition of Dead or Alive 5.
Pro Every character can use multiple stances
Dead or Alive has always had stances built into the game, unlike other series like Street Fighter where one or two characters may have a stance that can change, Dead or Alive has this for all characters, and multiple stances at that. The stances allow for different moves to be pulled off depending on which stance the character is in. This makes for a great way to mix up the gameplay as there are so many choices and moves to be pulled off.
Pro Allows for original Japanes voice acting with subtitles
While the English voice acting is pretty bad, the game does allow for players to switch to the original Japanese voice acting with English subtitles. This makes for a better experience as well as allows for those that prefer to play with the Japanese on to do so (as not all foreign games allow this).
Pro Interactive environments
Players can push others up against walls and there are areas in each stage called danger zones that make for an area where one can fall down to another part of the stage. When in the danger zone the player in trouble also has a chance to grab their opponent, thus allowing for a way to switch situations. This all adds a level of complexity to each stage and each players tactics that can make the game more interesting over a game with static stages.
Pro Intuitive fighting mechanics
The basics of the fighting system is a rock, paper, scissors mechanic where certain moves defeat others. Say if a user throws a punch at the same time another user tries a throw, the punch will win. While there are more layers to this, this is the basic way the system works, which is easy to grasp, even for those that do not often play fighting games, making this one accessible.
Pro Excellent character development
Uncharted 4 features some of the best character development in a game. The motivations, actions, and growth of your character is believable. This is achieved thanks to amazing voice acting and excellent writing. The conclusion to your character's story arc is especially satisfying.
Pro Exciting exploration
Uncharted 4 brings you to many locations and each one is very beautiful and filled with mystery. A calming beach, a vast Savannah, a snowy mountain, ancient ruins, and lost temples among many others. It's really exhilarating to see where you'll be going next in search of treasures.
Pro Decent stealth gameplay
Uncharted 4 stealth mechanics feel very good, even though you can't lure enemies or drag their bodies. If you're patient enough you can avoid an open confrontation in most levels. This is a really refreshing change of pace in the Uncharted series, which is known for its non-stop action.
Pro Great multiplayer
The shooting feels great, the movements feel really fluid, but most importantly – the multiplayer is well-balanced. When you win, you know it's because you/your team played well. When you lose you'll understand that the enemy was better. It doesn't devolve into players constantly spamming overpowered setups or abilities, making it a fair, action-packed, and fun experience.
Pro Multiplayer plays at 60fps
The multiplayer has had the resolution dropped to 900p in order to get a smooth 60fps for competitive play. While it would be nice to have a full HD resolution, smooth gameplay is important when playing competitively.
Cons
Con Horrible English voice acting
The English dub for this game is bad. Voices do not match the characters, much of the acting is over the top or just straight up unbelievable. While this can be seen as a non serious game it would have been nice to see the localization team give a bit more care to the voice acting, as is, it is pretty bad.
Con No friend matchmaking for online play
You can only do ranked matches for online play there is no option to play against ones friends. This really limits the multiplayer for those that do not like playing against random opponents.
Con Lower quality over next gen consoles
The PS4 and XBone version of the game has better graphics over PC as well as more content. The game was also released months late and missing online play for many more months. This speaks to what priority the devs have over the PC version, which may upset some people.
Con troublesome driving controls
The camera would spend in different directions. It would sometime go all the way around in a circle. I felt like I had to stop and go. So I could fix the camera to where I could see where I was going.
Con Troublesome controls at times
The cover system is a bit wonky at times, causing you to take cover at the wrong places. There are also some issue with platforming, causing your character to grab the wrong ledges occasionally. While both of these don't happen too often, it can cause some frustration during hectic moments.
Con Last act feels drawn out
The last third of the game can be quite repetitive, tasking the player with the same objectives over and over again. The feeling that this was done to extend the gameplay is difficult to ignore.
