Sit back for a moment and compare some of your favorite female video game characters with the females you know in real life. If you have done this task correctly you have probably noticed some very obvious differences between the two. Putting looks aside, yes video game females tend to have a lot of ‘assets’… but we are talking about something far more… or less important; attitude! Of course, under no circumstance should any human be anything like any video game character but the issue can be clearly seen when you compare characteristics of these video game females with other video game females.
A gorgeous real-world Miraidon from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has been created in Japan by the Toyota Engineering Society.

A new Mad Max game to coincide with the upcoming film would have been awesome. I loved the first game, I'm guessing it didn't sell too well as they never bothered following it up.

Real life women suck, they nag, they complain and they often times dont look that nice sooooo I would be more than pissed if some of the beautiful ladies in my games were replaced with real women x)
Some differences obviously exist, but I think there's definitely overlap between the two (real women and video game women). I think that's the nature of a lot of games though, even with male characters. They're often more "fantastical" in both cases. It just depends on which attributes you decide to exaggerate.
