  • Dead or Alive Extreme 3 is the third entry in the series and most people

  • seem to forget that it's a volleyball game.

  • Quick disclaimer to let you guys know that my capture card is kind of old so I was only able

  • to capture this in 720p.

  • The actual game will run in full 1080p so don't take this video as very representative

  • of what it actually looks like.

  • It really does look better than this, I promise.

  • Obviously, I can't really cover this without mentioning the elephant in the room

  • and that is the fact that I had to import this game.

  • And why did I have to import this game?

  • Well, a bunch of people got their panties in a knot over this

  • and the developers decided that releasing the game in North America just wasn't worth it.

  • The really mind blowing thing about the whole situation?

  • Is that the game is pretty... tame.

  • Yeah, I know there is copious amounts of skin and sexy poses going on but so?

  • I've seen racier movies on the CBC after 10pm.

  • What's this? You can see her BUTT?

  • OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • It's almost like - now bear with me, I know this is a CRAZY thought -

  • it's almost as if this controversy was manufactured by the press as a way to generate fat stacks of cash.

  • Uhhh, so this is a volleyball game right?

  • Well yes and no.

  • Volleyball is one of the core mechanics in the game but there's a lot more to it than that.

  • When you begin the game you'll need to pick a girl to play as.

  • There are nine characters present in this title

  • which actually leaves out a fair number of characters in the Dead or Alive series.

  • Since the game is designed around a fairly limited roster,

  • the developers held a poll in Japan to see who would be included.

  • And these are the choices that the public made.

  • This goes a long way in explaining why the very Asian characters are present

  • while the more foreign ones like Lisa or Tina are absent.

  • They're just not as popular in Japan.

  • Also poor old Leifang juuuust missed the cut.

  • Once you get into the game, you'll get a partner right off the bat

  • unless you deny her, which is generally a bad idea right at the beginning of the game.

  • Having a partner allows you to play volleyball and if you forgo one you might have serious trouble getting

  • another, so don't be dumb like me.

  • WHY WON'T YOU LOVE MEEEEEE

  • While Xtreme 3 follows the formula of the other games very closely,

  • there are two new additions here: owner mode and missions.

  • Missions are optional but completing them will earn you extra money and levels

  • which will unlock better - see skimpier - bathing suits and items.

  • It's a really small change but I really liked the addition of missions.

  • It gave the game a bit more structure then it had before.

  • Now the missions are always simple things like "go play poker"

  • or "get a perfect in pool hopping"

  • but I mean this game isn't freaking Dark Souls.

  • Owner mode is essentially playing as the unseen "owner" of the island.

  • Instead of interacting directly with the minigames or volleyball, you watch the computer play through them.

  • You have the option to take photos during these sequences and I have to say

  • it's REALLY hard to get good ones.

  • The girls constantly move around and the controls are a bit difficult to wrangle.

  • Yup, I'm a photographic genius if I do say so myself.

  • Yeah this isn't super thrilling stuff after you've already jerked off

  • but doing this allows you to gain money in your owner account which you can use in the exclusive owner shop.

  • Want that fancy white bathing suit the advertising used?

  • Well you're gonna have to get it through the owner shop.

  • I'm not gonna lie to you

  • getting enough money to purchase stuff in this game will take a long time

  • and it can feel oddly grind-y.

  • You're not getting that sexy string bikini without doing a lot of work.

  • Yup. Doing a lot of work in a game about a vacation on a tropical island.

  • Makes sense to me!

  • Owner mode also changes up one of the mechanics in the regular game, which is gift giving.

  • Instead of gifting a girl and hoping she likes it and doesn't send it back to you that night,

  • She will open it on the spot and decide if she wants to keep it or not.

  • Why can't it always be this easy? I... don't know.

  • I guess they just really want to build up that stinging rejection.

  • Moving on to the minigames.

  • There's the usual ones like pool hopping, beach flags, that weird one where you hit the other girl with your butt..

  • Awe yeah, sexyyy??

  • The only new addition here seems to be rock climbing, which plays somewhat similarly to pool hopping.

  • Doesn't this seem absurdly dangerous to you??

  • Sadly they removed the awesome jetski racing from Xtreme 2 and I'm not really sure why.

  • Perhaps they spent too much time and money on the tans and wardrobe malfunctions.

  • I mean, I'm not complaining about those.

  • The girls becoming naturally tanned and having tan lines makes a hell of a lot more sense

  • then it did when they remained pale forever.

  • That coupled with breast physics that don't threaten to tear the fabric of reality

  • makes this a lot more "ero"and a lot less absurd.

  • They even have very minor wardrobe malfunctions.

  • Such as a strap coming undone or the bottoms shifting.

  • Of course it's not all amazingly nice looking.

  • A lot of people have pointed out how messed up their ankles are

  • which is true, but there is one aspect that other people seem to miss and that is the finger and toe nails.

  • OH MY GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR HANDS

  • Remember how I said this was a volleyball game?

  • Well it is and it plays just as smoothly as it ever has.

  • This is probably the best volleyball experience that you can have

  • aaand it kind of.. is one of the only ones.

  • I guess volleyball isn't very popular in the world of video games because it's so simple?

  • Just volley it back and forth and over and repeat ad nauseum.

  • Then again it's not like tennis is that much more complicated

  • so why does that have way more games based on it?

  • The airy tunes paired with the beach setting make all the games have a very chill atmosphere to them.

  • It's really hard to get pissed off at this game, even if you lose horribly.

  • All in all, Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 is a fun experience but it's really nothing new.

  • The improvements in the graphics and the lack of the freakish breast physics from 2

  • make it worth playing, but only if this is your sort of game and I don't just mean the titillating parts.

  • If you're only here for the boobs then this game is gonna wear out its welcome extremely quickly for you.

  • If you like the series then pick this up. If you're not sure if you like the series uhh..

  • try it out at a friend's house I guess??

  • Uhh well, I must go. My beach waifu awaits.
