Sensuality, Fanservice, and Romance Constructed in the Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation Game

Abstract

Video games are a complex medium, and they span many genres. Players are a vital element in video games. They are the main actors in the world of video games; which encourages developers and businesses to improve the quality of their production. We'll take a closer look at Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation in this case. Because this video game perfectly represents women in a vulgar and sensual way. And chances are, either you play video games or someone near you does. In Indonesia, more than 200 million people play video games regularly including writers, who spend at least 5 to 7 hours playing video games every day. And unlike watching television or movies, video game players are often screaming, jumping, sweating, or so involved in what they're doing that they won't notice if their neighbor's house is on fire (unless it disconnects their game). Many people often choose to spend time playing games rather than other forms of leisure entertainment such as watching TV, going on a date with their partner, or watching a movie. This research will further contribute to discussions about gender representation in media and communications, and provide insight for game developers to create products that are more inclusive and respectful of player diversity. By understanding the impact of the representation of female characters in DOAXVV, it is hoped that we can increase awareness of the importance of balanced and fair gender representation in the video game industry
