What makes a great game? For some, it’s the graphics or the music. For others, it's immersive gameplay and an amazing storyline.
Oftentimes, we take this thing for granted, but we notice it when game developers make it wrong. This thing is the fashion sense of the characters in the game.
"It kind of creates a really jarring experience," said Victoria Tran, a community developer at Kitfox games, the Canadian indie studio behind titles including Boyfriend Dungeon and Lucifer Within Us.
[...]
Getting [the fashion] right, she said, could make a story feel richer and become a form of self-expression, especially when there are options to customise a protagonist's outfits. And for studio chiefs weighing up the costs involved, just consider how much titles like Overwatch and Fortnite have made from selling the "skins" that change their characters' looks.
Ms. Tran would then cite Jill Valentine’s fashion in the game Resident Evil 3.
She wears a blue tube top, black skirt, white jacket tied around her waist and a pair of brown boots.
Even I could tell why Tran would complain to such a thing. Who in his or her right mind would wear something that reveals a lot of skin, knowing full well that there are zombies who’d want a bite of fresh meat?
"Actually, there's nothing exciting about it at all."
There are also other video games who had their share of complaints with regards to fashion. Check them out on BBC.

The famed then 87-year-old Kazan's unforgivable crime was to have truthfully told the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities in 1952 that he and eight of his friends had been fellow members of the communist party, from which he had resigned in disgust. Some of these men later admitted that Kazan told the truth. Nevertheless, until his death in 2003 at the age of 94 Kazan remained a political leper among Hollywood's politically correct.
These are same people who in October 1997 streamed into the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences in Berverly Hills to see Hollywood Remembers the Blacklist, a film glorifying unrepentant Stalinists who wanted to turn the US into another Gulag. Needless to say, these are also same celluloid intellectuals who support cop-killers and murderous dictators – but only so long as they are socialists." -- "Hollywood leftists, their blacklist and their treason", Gerard Jackson
Amazing. The leftists who have wrested control of our colleges and universities are, next to Hollywood, the greatest blacklisters of all time. They have ideologically cleansed the faculties of these institutions of conservatives while ironically making a fetish of "diversity". How utterly hypocritical for any left-wing academic to complain about "McCarthyism" and "targeting".
Gee, I wonder what would give hime that idea.

McCarthy and Bobby Kennedy were right, the communists had infiltrated our cultural institutions and had gained access to the highest levels of our government.
How sad that the apologists for the "red fascists", as George Orwell called them, continue to push the ahistorical garbage contained in this post.
Here's a protip: McCarthy was a piece of garbage who was willing to make innocent people suffer to further his own political career.
Still, the Venona papers which were released in the early 90s, while not justifying all tactics used to track down Soviet spies, do prove that there were Communist spies deep inside the US government.
