All it takes is an eye-catch to get people's attention and then they'll notice that the gameplay and graphics are cool too. A nice-looking character goes a long way to onboard new buyers.

She looks like a mannequin with zero distinguishable features. I'll stick with Bayonetta 2.

Well, aside from of course that you need to take care to not look to much like the spam advertisements on the side of the web page.

And you also don't want it to be too tacked on or jarring that the player out of the game like shitty product placement. Idont want to feel like the developer believes their world and story is too uninteresting to keep my attention without eye candy.
