I just finished playing through Tormented Souls, a mostly okay indie Silent Hill/RE clone and went to look at the unreleased sequel’s Steam page, and also regrettably the Steam discussions, which are probably the worst gamer cesspit outside of like, 4chan.

The “nudity for story purposes” from the first game being referred to here was a cutscene where you could see the main character’s boobs for like 15 seconds. Those 15 seconds of gratuitous polygonal nipples seem to be the main thing gamers took away from the entire 8-12 hour experience

Here’s some enlightened discussion from the same thread

“In the trailer Caroline appears to have drastically shrunk in her chest area? Could you good sires please fix that?”

There are also several threads where upset gamers vent their anger about the main character wearing pants instead of a dress in the sequel

The dress is the main costume? I really like the dress, makes her feminine and there is not a Lot of main protagonists using one… so its stays or no?

bring back the dress or no buy

Also, a woman should look feminine and not like a metal band singer guy in IKEA. Not to mention that beautiful and feminine women are one of the most basic cornerstones of the genre. Not to mention that any kind or any hint of wokeness these days results in a “0 sales” figure and a “never buy again anything from these” attitude towards a studio.

Nah, developers decided to go with a more boring design. Sorry, Did I say boring. What I meant to say was “MoRe ReAlIsTiC” Wouldn’t be surprised if the developers ended up making a bunch of dumb woke arguments as the reasoning. Frankly, kinda sick of this attitude in gaming in general. I bought the first one, not going to buy this one.

I remember the forums for the first game were full of cucks complaining about the dress, this is their fault.

PS: Keep the awesome hip sway she had! It was hypnotic!

I had a feeling the character design would be made to be more boring and generic this time around, looks like I was right. They literal just put a hobo jacket on her. Lame…nothing can just be fun anymore. Everyone so concerned with “It LoOkS mOrE rEaLiStIc”

The only thing that drew me to the original was a feminine looking protagonist, which you don’t see from the west anymore. They must feel like they’ll sell more copies if the sequel looks like everything else though.

There is a contingent of gamers that will buy games just to look at female character models they find hot. What type of game it is or even if the games are any good is not a concern. I just can’t wrap my head around being that horny
