I know, past 3D games somes are ugly, but i want a really ugly game that you love the vibe, gameplay...and even its charm!

I start;




Still have my disc, i love this game!

 

[MayauMiao]

I would post recent one but I don't want to do it outside spoiler free zone.

The movie

 

[GymWolf]

The movie

raul julia was fire in that film.

 

[ThaMonkeyClaw]

Love this game, it was probably my favorite game to play as a kid




Also loved this one as well, the original Castle Wolfenstein! Yes kids, this is where it all started!




But if you really want to go real ugly, I think Superman for the Atari 2600 was one of my favorite games as well, ugly, but loved playing it back in the day.

 

[TheContact]

Ugly now but this was the first game I played on a computer. It was awesome back then.

Scorched Earth for DOS

 

[kuncol02]

Geneforge. Was ugly 20 years ago, now is even uglier.

Might & Magic VI - one of the last non-accelerated 3D games. Tons of fun but pretty rough even back.then.

Clock Tower - PS1

I just love the concept of this game! You don't have weapons. You can only defend yourself from Scissorman with objects in the environment and you can hide.
There are some more games in the same vein, Clock tower series, haunting ground, NightCry....

Wish there was more!

 

[StormCell]

I don't find the game to be that ugly, but I really enjoy Space Empires IV and still occasionally play it today even without all of the community mods that used to be hosted for it.

The UI is a bit cluttered, and at first the game can feel a bit overwhelming with colonizing planets, designing and then building ships, designing and building space stations and such. Much the same way that Out of the Park Baseball was the fruit of one man's labor, Space Empires was really driven by one man. Unfortunately, there is a sequel that attempted to bring the game a more modern 3D look, but it killed the franchise pretty hard.

What I really like about this game is the diversity of technologies and space ship designs. There were also some cool mods that turned the game into a Star Trek-based strategy game. Nothing quite compares to a stack of 20 Borg cubes entering your sector on a path for your homeworld!

on pc is full of first person game where you can only run from enemies.

also clock tower is considered a good game by most people, it's not even that ugly.

 

[RetroAV]

KOTOR. I loved the game, but it looked and ran horribly on OG Xbox. It definitely needs a remake, not a remaster. You hear that Phil?!

 

[Bartski]

 

[Dick Jones]

raul julia was fire in that film.

"But for me it was Tuesday" is one of the most badass lines in cinema.

 

[Birdo]

I still enjoy it.

 

[MasterDerico]

Edf was never ugly imo, even on simple series!

 

[iconmaster]

How is KI ugly?

 

[RetroAV]

You are out of your goddamn mind! Yeah, it's not the best looking fighter, but it's far from the worst.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

To name a modern one, Siralim series.

And when I say "ugly", I'm not just saying the graphics look "simplistic" or "outdated". I think the pixel art is just not that good. However, the underlying mechanics in this game are insane, maybe even putting Disgaea to shame. So I don't mind.

 

[killatopak]

Nier was pretty ugly at the time. At least I heard them comparing it to a PS2 game. I love it a lot.

 

[Laconian Sword]

Might and Magic 2 on the Genesis is probably the ugliest game I've ever played. Even at the time it was horrific and its choppy movement makes Phantasy Star look like a PS5 game.

 

[Hayabusabruh]

The character design. Everything is over designed. Just looks fucking ugly.

Console versions gameplay is super fine, i like it too!

fuck me, i'm rewatching this thing tonight

 

[RetroAV]

To me, the designs are fantastic, but the models themselves (especially the faces) don't do the game justice...very AA compared to the models you see in say...Mortal Kombat 11 which just screams AAA.

I don't think it'd be fair to point fingers at early 3D games, the tech has unavoidably aged poorly. As for modern games I could name a few, but by far the ugliest and bestest is Mount and Blade Warband. Even mods can't make it look halfway decent, but still one of the most original games of its generation.

Honorable mentions go to Dark Souls 2 and The Surge 2, because there are some really good games hidden under all those layers of ugly.

 

[SpiceRacz]

Dark Souls 2

You shut your damn mouth.

 

[CeeJay]

[Orenji Neko]

Still love it. DQVI was a very big step up in graphics as this still looked like a Famicom game with more color. It was the greatness of the game that shine through the very modest graphics.

they are not the best looking games but they are far from ugly cmon, the design of some armours\weapons in surge 2 is great if you like scifi.

The designs are great, but the art is ruined by bad postprocessing effects and color filters.

You shut your damn mouth.

What? it IS pretty ugly, have you seen those textures?

 

[ender1986]

Body Harvest! Admittedly I haven't played it in a while, but I choose not to so my nostalgia is not ruined.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Air Control: Do you know what does it mean?

 

[Trilobit]

City Crisis for PS2.

It perfectly captured the feeling of rescuing people and putting out fires with your helicoper. But it's one really ugly game.

 

[rob305]

First operation flashpoint, and i loved every minute of it

 

[synchronicity]

Super Mega Baseball (1) is no looker, but dang is it fun!

 

[jshackles]

 

[J-Roderton]

I keep meaning to play this. Owned it for years.

 

[Nikana]

It's giant action figures fighting. I'm. It mad at it but everything looks like plastic.

A difference of opinion=troll? Lol.
