Have you heard about the Dead or Alive games? They are brawlers, much in the style of Street Fighter, but they feature attractive girls and a really interesting physics engine. Most people aren’t going to play for the combat, but whatever may be the case, one of the spinoff games titled Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation has some questionable minigames, which could spark a lot of controversies, especially in a hypersensitive society that we live in today.
Basically, this minigame is about trying to remove a piece of clothing from a girl that doesn’t seem to be all that into that kind of thing. Yes, you read that correctly, that is actually a real minigame inside another real video game, this is not a joke. As you can imagine, this is a scandal just waiting to happen, and it is really strange that no one has started any public attacks on the developers for introducing such a thing. The Dead or Alive games always had their fair share of sexualization of the female characters, but when the volleyball spinoff game, Dead or Alive Xtreme was made, things started to go astray, and they are getting worse in Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation.
These kinds of things are aiming at one thing and one thing only, and that is horny teenagers. It’s a shame that developers are aiming for that kind of demographic, especially with such explicit and vulgar content.
