00:00Why the Ninja destroyed the entire franchise with Dead or Alive 6 last round?
00:04It was supposed to be better. It was supposed to improve.
00:08Unfortunately, none of that happened.
00:11Dead or Alive 6 last round is a bitter disappointment and not worth your money
00:15if you already own Dead or Alive 6 for the PS4.
00:19Let me explain why in this video.
00:27On June 25th, 2026, Dead or Alive 6 last round was released for Steam, Xbox Series, and PS5.
00:36I pre-ordered the PS5 version and had high hopes.
00:40Team Ninja promised a lot.
00:42Better graphics, the transfer of Dead or Alive 6 PS4 DLC purchases smoother gameplay.
00:50Unfortunately, not everything was delivered, but let's go through it step by step.
01:00Let's start with the graphics on the PS5 version.
01:05Except for one battle arena, namely Lost Paradise, it was absolutely identical to the PS4 version,
01:13and that visual upgrade is only noticeable if you switch to the graphics mode,
01:17not the performance mode inside the game.
01:19Now let's check out some of the other arenas.
01:29As you can see, there is basically no difference between the PS4 version to the left and the PS5 version
01:35to the right.
01:41Next up, the smoother gameplay on the PS5.
01:45That just isn't there.
01:46The animations and the controls are also identical to the PS4 version.
01:51Yes, they're not bad.
01:52The animations look smooth and the controls feel precise, but it's still a letdown when something is promised and not
01:59delivered.
01:59Well, it's complaining at high levels, sure, but it's still frustrating.
02:06However, the biggest disappointment for me was the promised transfer of DLC purchases from the PS4 version.
02:13I'm glad the costumes for the different fighters were carried over, but two characters are missing.
02:18Characters I bought for the PS4 version, them being my and Kula.
02:23They appear in the character select menu, but you can't actually select them.
02:28I'm hoping this is only a bug that will be fixed in an update,
02:31because I don't want to pay another €10.99 per character or €20.99 per character plus the custom pack.
02:42Now, is this game worth buying?
02:45If you already own Dead or Alive 6, definitely not.
02:49The few improvements, basically just the one arena, are not worth the price.
02:54Just keep playing the PS4 version, you're not missing out anything.
02:57If you don't own Dead or Alive 6 yet, go ahead, it's still a pretty solid fighting game and it
03:03can be a lot of fun.
03:06But why do I think the franchise was destroyed?
03:10Simple.
03:11Team Ninja and Bandai Namco are essentially betting on last round's success to decide whether Dead or Alive 7 will
03:18happen or not.
03:20And if Dead or Alive 6 last round continues to be implemented this disappointingly,
03:25I don't see a future for this game or the franchise.
03:31I hope you had at least a bit of fun watching this video.
03:35Let me know, what do you think of Dead or Alive 6 last round?
03:38Are you also disappointed with how it turned out?

03:42I'd also really appreciate a subscription and a thumbs up or a small donation on Ko-fi.
03:47That means a lot to me and motivates me to keep making videos.
03:52Thanks for staying until the end.
03:54See you in the next one.
03:55Bye bye.
