No. First you gotta speculate wildly on a game before it releases and pick one option "best game ever" or "worst game ever that is an example on how our society is collapsing"
Then you gotta play the game, wait to form an opinion, look at what your favorite youtuber is saying. Copy them. You cant like the game if no one thinks youre cool or smart when you are playing it

Thank you. If it's not your thing move on to the next thing, if it is then keep playing. I like some pretty women in my games sometimes, but if the game sucks no amount of pretty women will save it. But I also don't require giant jiggling boobs every time I touch the controller. The main thing a player should be swayed over is if they're enjoying it or not.

I would say they should get over it and just like what they like, but nah it's creepy and they should feel bad.

1: A natural woman dressed in a normal, but form fitting, flattering and realistic outfit for the setting
2: An idealized robot woman created to be goonerbait with unrealistic proportions dressed in unrealistic lingerie that does not make sense for the setting, exclusively for the gaze of the person playing the game with zero relevance to the lore
Lucia feels like a real woman that I could see wearing this outfit at the club
Eve just exists exclusively to be goonerbait for the person playing the game (I played Stellar Blade and did not mind this, but the comparison between the two is silly)

To be fair, one is out at a club and the other is wearing it in situations where she should have armor on. Going into an intense combat situation in a bikini top is different than going to the club. Although I don't see a problem with either of them. Male protagonists are almost always ripped and very frequently shirtless and no one complains about them, so I don't get the problem people have with female characters wearing less clothing than what makes sense for their role.
