Overview of what "Sexualized" Women Are Games are often marketed to the male 18-34 demographic, meaning that it often behooves developers to include sexualized female characters.

Once games made the leap to 3D, it became easier for games to render implausibly busty females (a far cry from pixel art bikini Samus ). 3D women like Lara Croft began appearing, who dressed in tight shirts and shorts to emphasize her figure. The Dead or Alive series took off primarily on the promise of its alluring female character models.
The outfits that these characters wear are usually ridiculous and seem unfit for the task at hand.
