Random ask but does anyone here have any opinions on the Dead or Alive series?

I've always enjoyed the Virtua-Fighter inspired mechanics of the series, and it's signature hold system is one of my favorite fighting game things ever.

That's not why people play it though and I think the series' reputation as "the booby fighter" is well deserved. I liked the fanservice in DOA2 (I was a teenager wdyd), grew indifferent later on, and came to disdain it in DO6 because they gimped the shit out of every 1P game mode but went HAM on costume DLC.

Edit: Dead or Alive 5: Last Round isn't a bad game to give the series a try with. There's a fair amount to do, lots of characters, and the visuals were pretty top tier for their time (the original DOA5 came out in 2012 on XB360 and PS3).
