And here I can't beat the heart no matter how hard I try 🥺I ADORE Slay the Spire, and have reached Ascension 20 with Ironclad, 18 with Silent and above 15 with the others.
But MAN the game is ugly
...Another one is the first Ori, which i tried to play a while ago and couldn't go past the intro because the character looks too furry for me.
It certaintly is. I dont know, maybe not the best choice of words (or word in this case), but there is something about Ori's design that turns me off, and it reminds me a bit of what i saw in Dust An Elysian Tale.
It's just.... well, there's so much wrong lol. Not only is Ori a gorgeous game overall, but furries are, by definition, anthropomorphic animals, and literally no one in Ori is anthropomorphic... do you just hate all animal creatures orIt certaintly is. I dont know, maybe not the best choice of words (or word in this case), but there is something about Ori's design that turns me off, and it reminds me a bit of what i saw in Dust An Elysian Tale.
I plan to give it another chance, but not a good first impression.
Eh I don't think that's a very controversial opinion, reactions seemed mixed around here when the game was initially revealed. While the promotional artwork is great and the spritework of bosses etc seems good as well, I just find the mix of low-res sprites and higher-res environments coupled with image filters makes the end result look rather garish. Bit surprising honestly considering the pedigree of the people behind it.Jesus fucking christ what a TAKE
I spit out my coffee this morning
I just don't understand why they don't just cel shade the game. It would do wonders to that bland aesthetic.

Not only is it hideous for a PS4 game the character designs are awful.
Yeah, GRID, DiRT 2, and F1 2010 were pretty bad. I think the original Need for Speed Most Wanted might top them all, though:Downloaded the original Race Driver: GRID for a nostalgia run and, wooof.
All of Codemasters PS360 era games have a piss filter, but this was something else. Like, completely dehydrated, drunk nothing but Guinness and vinegar for six months levels of piss.
I still remember the untextured water graphics
Just checked. I have 454 h playtime on steam alone. I have it on iOS too...
Probably that upcoming remake of Monster World 4. Though the most recent trailer looked a bit better than the previous one had.
Piczle Colors.
It's a solid nonograms game, but man...
Like, even from a gameplay perspective, shouldn't you make the background a less saturated color so the blocks you place pop out more?
The reason I'm not playing Genshin Impact is because I hate the character designs.
Call of Chtulu (2018): It looks like an early Xbox 360 game from the 2005-2007 period when devs were still struggling with adopting to realistic graphics on 720p+ resolutions and the new hardware power of the PS360 and released what looked like upgraded PS2 era titles. Except that THIS GAME only released TWO YEARS AGO (alright, soon to be three sooner rather than later, but the point stands). Like how can you have textures and effects that bad and low-res EVERYWHERE in your game in this time and age? I just couldn't stand it anymore after the first hour even though I do often play A and AA titles, thankfully I was borrowing it and hadn't bought it.
Wasteland 3. I only played the icy Tutorial section, but it looked quite a bit worse than Wasteland 2 Director's Cut particularly in the environments, which I found quite surprising. So I decided to just finish Wasteland 2 first and give the game a second chance later.
Otherwise I tend to bounce hard from PS1 era games that were going for a "realistic 3D artstyle" rather than 2D, pixel-art, hand drawn or cel-shade-ish artstyles. They just aged...so...badly. I have zero issues playing through the original Final Fantasy IV or VI for example (NOT the current versions of FF VI though, I ain't touching those character models with a 10-yard stick), but am bouncing hard from the original Final Fantasy VII. I can deal with PS2 era and later games going for realistic graphics just fine though for the most part (even say games like Fatal Frame/Project Zero 1), the jump in graphics was just that big that I don't care much except for rare exceptions like the games mentioned above or certain 2000-2002 era Western games.
This. Combined with the absolute horrendous image quality and jaggies i can safely say the first hour of the game made me sick to my stomach. Amazing game though. I still think it's a shame Nintendo is always so behind on image quality.Every character except Link / Midna / Zelda / Ganon in Twilight Princess is an abomination
Except this guy, who on account of his diminutive stature and juxtaposed way of speaking - goes past being ugly and somehow comes back around to being awesome
Additional shoutout to the scenery textures in Twilight Princess. The game that made me love Wind Waker even more!
Also, echoing Carnby, not so much deathloop because I haven't seen much of it, but Dishonored 1 is ... a fugly game, even though I love that game, it's just really ugly almost all the time, witht he exception of a few interiors. Dishonored 2 is a lot prettier, I actually think it's a beautiful game at times, the world is just much more vibrant. Prey I'm mixed on. Character designs are straight up aweful, but the bland settings in most of the areas fit the world.
I'd have to go with Immortals:PR. Just the absolute epitome of uninspired character designs. Reminds me of some bad CGI movies from the 2000-aughts, or just any human in a Dreamworks Animation movie.
It's just.... well, there's so much wrong lol. Not only is Ori a gorgeous game overall, but furries are, by definition, anthropomorphic animals, and literally no one in Ori is anthropomorphic... do you just hate all animal creatures or
Yeah, I'm with you on this. I don't quite think it's "horrendous," but the environments are so boring and the character design is pretty bad.
