I found them to be the only engaging ones. Unfortunately, the most engaging of these minigames– pool hopping and rock climbing–consist entirely of QTE sequences. Volleyball, butt battles (don’t ask why Team Ninja called it that), pool hopping, tug-of-war, and beach flags make a return.Īside from dressing the girls up and taking their photos, one might expect for the minigames to be at the heart of the game. Previous Dead or Alive Xtreme titles offered more things to do, including jetski races, water sliding, and some of these modes could even be played in multiplayer.
But honestly, it’s just not worth the effort.ĭOAX3 gets long in the tooth by the time you reach the 14 th and final day because the few activities it has are only tolerable for so long. Their satisfaction rating carries over to future sessions. The game advises you to give equal time to all the other girls for a better rating, but the only way you can accomplish that is to play the game repeatedly. I got a “C” rating my first time through, having only focused on a single girl. Once the two weeks are up, you’re graded for your performance as the “Owner” and how satisfied you made the girls. At the end of each day, you can spend as much time as you want in the Casino to gamble your Zack bucks in games of blackjack, poker and roulette. Every session in the island paradise lasts 14 days, with 3 activities per day and can be as long as 2 hours of playtime. You do this by spending the game’s currency of “Zack bucks” at the shop, acquired as rewards for completing and winning the various activities and minigames.Īt the start of each game session, you choose a girl to play as. The goal of the game, if you can call it one, is to unlock new swimsuits, lingerie and other accoutrements for one of the game’s nine playable characters. Regardless of the real reason, gamers worldwide can import the title from overseas retailers, and so they have.
A community manager for the company suggested that the reason was to avoid potential criticism over its portrayal of female video game characters.
Exclusive to Japan and Asia, the game was denied a Western release despite its English localization for reasons the publisher has refused to disclose. Published by Koei Tecmo, it’s the latest title from Team Ninja that sees players venture to a paradise island for some fun in the sun. It’s simplistic, tedious, and more importantly, not very fun to play. There’s obviously a difference in perception between cultures, but it’ll be interesting to see if the mere existence of this type of content creates controversy for Sony over here, especially considering that anyone that really wants to get their hands on the game can probably import it.Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 isn’t very good. Okay, sorry, there do seem to be some mechanics at play you can use the DualShock 4’s position-tracked controls to prod at the women who will apparently jump and squeal in reaction. I know it’s easy to look at something like this and say “Well, Japan” but it’s still surprising to see this all on PlayStation VR. At least the main game has some mechanical systems for its players to defend it with, but the PS VR support seemingly throws all of that out of the window in favor of simply gawking at females and how little they’re wearing. In the past, Dead Or Alive‘s Xtreme spin-off has caught flak for… well essentially being a game all about leering at women as they enjoy themselves on the beach. Japanese site Famitsu has the first images and video of the upcoming beach volleyball spin-off’s PlayStation VR integration. Judging by the first images of the game’s VR support, it may well have dodged a bullet. Koei Tecmo has already been scared out of releasing Dead Or Alive Xtreme 3 in the west.
