Ugliest games

This thread started out good, but predictably devolved into "popular games I personally dislike". For shame GAF, grow up a bit.

gotta get on that battleborn bashing train tho

I second these sentiments. Come on GAF.

I am not ashamed to say I owned a Jaguar, I am ashamed to say I played a lot of this stinker.

Breh.

Me too :(

I liked the game somewhat but my god... Like 99 percent of the character's are so ugly and just look... Off for lack of a better word.. I wonder if I'm the only one who feels this way...

Story repeats with Skyward Sword, too. I still remember the first time my flatmate found me playing it and she was like "wow, that's some... weird / ugly people".

At least The windwaker style was much coherent. Zelda games are becoming more and more of an acid trip with each title.
 
Battle Arena Toshinden, Loved it, aged very poorly, Like most PS1 games.

Then use a screenshot of the PS1 version. I'm not quite sure if that's the Saturn version there, but it sure looks like it. As un-pretty as the PS1 games were, the Saturn versions of the games are significantly worse.

Star Citizen on my pc.

Blue Screens are most likely the result of an unstable hardware configuration. Since Star Citizen is likely pushing your components to 100% utilization, you are likely uncovering some general instability. I would start by doing a clean reformat and install to ensure it's not a registry error or virus, then running torture tests on individual components.
World of Warcraft .

Yes , these are 2015 screens . Massive spikes , flat colors , green text . One of the reason I stay away from it despite having friends that are totally hooked .

You sure know how to cherry pick.

People posting PS1 games like Syphon Filter despite the fact they were some of the best looking games at the time?

And Bloodborne and Street Fighter V? Lol.

The other suggestions are good generally though. Sudeki has one of the most abhorrent art styles, animations are poor too.

You have to really love that early-2000s CGI appearance to even tolerate the game (luckily I don't mind it, the game is kind of OK too).

Not to mention that decade old UI. The Warlords expansion really was a step down from Mists IMO.
 
Post really ugly games here.

I submit Virtual Hydlide for the Saturn.

Between the 10fps framerate, heavy fog, 90s-style digitized sprites, jerky animation, ultra-low-res textures, and muddy color palette, it's like a perfect storm of horrible visuals. It's so hideous it wraps back around to being cool again.

post more.

Fight for Life for the Atari Jaguar:

This was meant to be Atar'is answer to Virtua Fighter and Tekken on the Atari Jaguar.

I love these threads for people like you guys who obviously know the medium well enough to provide examples I wouldn't readily think of.

Posts like GTAV and bloodborne I could very much so without, this thread needs to be kept on topic. Pretty clear the OP was not talking about problematic handling of larger social issues when he/she posted fucking Virtual Hydlide.

On a hilarious related note, I thought VH looked amazing in magazines when it came out and always secretly wanted it. It was only recently I saw footage and was like Holy Shit!!

Nope, these are not current WoW screens. Low res, not maximum details, standard interface (who plays WoW without Interface Mods?)...

This is how WoW looks actually. Of course it's not doesn't own the graphic crown, but it's meant to run with 25 players + enemies and a whole lot of particle effects going on on the screen in raids

That abbreviation would fit perfectly in a clickbait, but technically correct, thread title.

It's 2016 and EA is still producing ugly-ass jank

This is because I am a genius. Early Access :P

Game is still currently in development, sometimes hard to believe. The animations are even worse than the graphics. XD
 
Brutal Legend, and basically all the shit that double fine puts out. The art direction is a joke.

Art direction is Double Fine's greatest asset, especially Brutal Legend

 
With that being said, Dark Souls looked pretty generic as well.
Sure, generic.

Blighttown, Ash Lake, Lost Izalith, Anor Londo, Duke's Archives... so generic man.
/s

someone mentioned Dark Souls 2 yet?

man, I can't stand looking at that game.

Seriously, the Souls games do not belong in the same thread as the one with Simon the Sorcerer 3D, Sudeki, or what the OP posted. Get real, people.
 
Yeah, even if it comes short in execution DS2 at the very least has less conventional locales than DS1, which is more straightforward.

edit: Not that any of these big budget games that have their own art departments have anything to do in this thread.
 
1000% agree. I'm re-playing the HD version of this game now. Hot fricken damn. Every single character is so UGLY!!! Even worse than the faces from Xenoblade Chronicles X (awesome game). It's almost like they purposefully chose to make ugly characters.

I mean how the hell did somebody make this and think "Yeah, this character design looks good."

I agree with what you said... But I will fight any man (or woman) who doesn't agree that Malo is awesome in his wholeness, design included, especially his design,


Is there more of this, a gallery, tumblr or something? I need me some more of this!
 
Gears of war for me.

I just can't stand the huge feet, barrel chests.. Unrealistic proportions.

The graphics look fine, it's just the character designs that make me gag a little. well not literally, lol
