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
Any game about history will immediately be flooded with nazis on the steam forums. Especially if it's American Civil War or the world wars. They will piss and shit themselves over the weirdest shit in other genres. You can have an abstract strategy game with zero humans in it and they will find things to be offended about.
I generally check the forums for multi-player games because they'll give you an idea of what the player base is like. Apart from the usual whining about balance, I'll be interested in a game if I see the forums are people offering tips or solving tech issues. If I see it's all anti-SJW/woke/DEI/rightwing buzzwords, and none of the posts have been locked or bans given to chuds, it's a nope for me.
I remember a game called "War of Rights" which is a multi-player Civil War game, similar to Battlefield 1942. The devs weren't American, so I figured maybe they were unaware of what kind of people the name would attract. I go to the steam forums and a bunch of other people had the same idea. The devs were responding in the comments like "well, the title can be interpreted multiple ways, like war for the rights of slaves." People were pointing out that's not how American racists are going to interpret it and will see it as a welcoming mat. Devs still kept the name and sure enough, non-racists lost all interest while chuds were complaining there's never enough Union players to fight against because everyone wants to play Confederates (including themselves but the line to be a slave owner is too long. "It's my turn to shoot black soldiers!").
Bit of a long tangent, but yeah. Steam forums are generally a cess pit. It's funny looking at chud profiles, though, and seeing they don't even have the easiest achievements for the games they whine about.
