I've pointed this out many times, but the strong, ass-kicking hottie is a male appealing trope. Women do not want or care about such games. The only problem with Forspoken (besides the crappy, derivative gameplay and empty, pointless checklist world) is that the lead is ugly and abrasive. If she wore suggestive clothing and acted like a ditzy waifu it'd be weeb GOTY (see: Ryza)
There's been a strong, directed push in gaming right around the development of Dragon Age Inquisition to essentially take away all eye candy from men. Fat ugly stupid bitches don't want low-status gamer betas to have any access to women above their level, not even fictional ones.
Unironically the fault of Sensitive Joss Whedon more than anyone.
Buffy is the obvious example but there's also River from Firefly/Serenity as well as several characters from Dollhouse - all of which used the same stable of actors as well as included Joss' fetish for barefooted young women.

Anime/Weeb trope really, but yes. Joss has a tarded love for dumb weeb shit like "guy falls headfirst into boobs" in Avengers 2.
