Opinion on claims that DOA: Paradise isn't degrading towards women.
Digitally Downloaded writes: "The reality is though that, just in real life and in the other forms of art out there, sex plays a much greater role in games than many realise. The obvious games featuring bikinis, shirtless hulking men and interactive sex scenes are just the tip of the iceberg; underneath it is a host of games where sexuality is a metaphoric theme or artistic construct.
Below are ten games that I think are especially effective in how they make use of sexual themes. Some are obvious, others are more academic in their application of such themes"

The standard platforms for game design are either PCs or home consoles, both of which normally exist within private, stable, and controlled conditions. Thus, given the design of home games, the environment in which they’re played is not given much thought. Portable games on the other hand are interesting, since they can be played in a multitude of places, all of which can have an effect on gameplay and design. How does one effectively design for a portable game? How can we make them better? What are the main principles behind portable games? Well, let’s take a look.
Very true it's an oft understated aspect of portable game development.
Metal gear solid peace walker managed that transition very well. Which is a good way to contrast the two ways of developing within the same genre.
Tecmo Koei Europe has launched their special promotion, the “PSP Power Sale”, a new sale available on some of the top PlayStation Portable (PSP) titles from the publisher. Including the likes of Dynasty Warriors and Undead Knights, the promotion runs for two weeks from today.
Yeah, i luv kasumi tits <3
but i never have the time for playing DoA tits...em i mean DoA Paradise
is it worth the time & money?
I wish gamers had more on their minds than wanting to see a fake pair of tits.
It's a stupid series of games aimed at children. @Chaos69 - if it were a case of just "manning-up" then I would assume we'd also take issue with stacks of films that contain explicit sex scenes. This is not the case. This is about context and intention.
Games have intentions, softcore pornography has intentions, DOA Paradise masquerades as the former while endorsing nothing but the latter.
Hmmm... Yes they are.
What a waste of a series. Anyone remember how awesome DoA Xtreme Beach Volleyball was? You could totally ignore the tits and play a surprisingly good volleyball game.
its funny how we can have games of intense killing and murdering but as soon as you put a girl in a bikini everyone grabs the pitchforks
