That's a Shin Megami game

Yeah. Much better. They still kind of screw it up with the chin strap though.
Yeah, I don't see anything wrong them. They're just slightly different than recent interpretations. Ok, Knuckles is a little more than "slightly", but it totally makes sense for a character who punches a lot and differentiates him from Sonic really well.
What game is this, fantastic character design.
I see it's the new Prey demo. Lookin' good!
I mean, part of the whole thing with Samus is that she's a very literal titanic figure (in stature, strength, and threat) in the lore or Metroid. She's not a human babe, she's not even really human.
Especially not after Fusion.
Diana from Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers. As in the Roman god of hunting and fertility.
Her appearance, like most designs from Shin Megami Tensei and its spinoffs, is based on real life depictions.

He's so greasy I'm afraid if I got any where near him I'd break out in acne.
Isn't it just the cover example of what you can make in the character creator?
While not the greatest individual design it repr3sents their artvstyle and the things you can do in the character creator really quite accurately.

blazblues very own makoto squirrelfuck
her stupid battle outfit is fucking disgusting and there arent a lot of things i hate more on this earth than it. damn it to hell, it makes no fucking sense, and even her little weapons look like a child came up with them
You know what's even sadder? She has a much better design that's only ever used in story mode and pre-fight intros.

New Dante aint sexy in any world.
Going to hazard a guess that you're a straight guy? Because it's been pointed out numerous times that as an objective piece of character design, the Dante we got in the final game was hot as hell. Now, he might not be your type (he is very college twink looking which isn't to everyone's taste), but there's no denying he's a sexy guy.

As a gay man, I totally agree.
Yes, she IS as young as she looks...
Seriously, whoever designed that character needs to have their computer checked by the police.
Don't forget this is a country that only outlawed child pornography in 2014
Fucking child pornography!
Nah, man. Just because you don't like punk/goth fashion doesn't make it bad.So thanks thread for reminding me there's worse out there, but when I think of bad character designs Marie from Persona 4 Golden is always the first to mind.

This.
OK, that takes the cakeCody as "Death" in Final Fight Streetwise:
Nier
The main character was quite ugly
Papa Nier is great!
He isn't supposed to be some attractive superhero main character. He is a roughed up dad forced to fight with absolutely no training because he wants to save his daughter.
His ugliness is intentional.

Juri's design is just awful. Everything about her in V is awful.

I'm pansexual and I'm definitely denying. Dude looks straight up hideous to me.
Pancake Mix
Copied someone else's pancake recipe
Oh man, I'm the opposite. I LOVE these. Was a wonderful time for artwork.
I want a The Last Story sequel more than almost anything. Do it Nintendo/Mistwalker!
I think you're totally right. Best to mess with this not-so-good character than to do it with Rayman. Not a very good design however.

It's not as good as her design in 4 for sure, but I don't think it's that awful.
What gets to me is her absolutely stupid back breaking pose at the character select.

The Last Remnant's Emma Honeywell is a great design though. It certainly also helps that there is such a dearth of good older (well, "older" in relative terms, because a woman in her forties may as well be on her death bed in JRPGs) female characters let alone ones that do take up the blade, take action and hold a prestigious title based on their merits alone.
And of course they kill her off and essentially replace her with a younger woman just like that.

Oh hell to the no! I don't love all of them certainly but over all this stuff is great. If you want to see over designed, look at some of the armor sets in Xenoblade X. I'm in the process of drawing some of that and my daily mantra is "gotta figure out how to simplify this shit, because there's something really good under there.

Has Psychonauts been mentioned? I can't pick out any one design, it's just thoroughly unappealing across the board.

I really liked Berseria but this character made me very uncomfortable. The English voice is also baaaaaaaaad

Is there a reason for Hakan looking so hedious? At least Blanka and the freaks in Street Fighter III have some backstory.

He's a very buff Turkish wrestler who lathers himself in oil before grabbing his opponents tightly and squeezing them.

Surely you can understand that if they didn't make him look like a cartoon, that might be getting a little too graphic for a game rated T.
Not that that justifies it, just saying.
But FFX NPCs have very simple visual design....
I've got this one.
Horace from his series of ZX Spectrum games.
I can understand the in-game character being bad, as 8-bit computers were pretty limited, but that's the packaging art.
This is secretly awesome. I love how they just popped some skis on him and called it a day. Smooth.

Like Seriously, what's the deal with the dude with the random black face? I don't believe he looks like anyone else in the whole game.

Can't believe the number of people saying Tides. He looks absolutely fine.

Lucio - Overwatch. Or should i say Overdesigned. Some of his alternates are fine, but the default is just as awful as that FF Tactics character tbh.

Any new character in Street Fighter V, including what they did to Nash, but especially whatever they thought they were trying to do with Necalli. Necalli might be one of the worst characters from visuals to voice acting to characterization to backstory I have ever seen.
At first, I thought Hakan from SF4 was pretty bizarre, but he actually grew on me and I think he's a pretty good fit now and one of my favorite characters. Because of that I tried to let the new SFV characters sink in but they are just categorically irredeemable.

I never really understood his "hair." What the fuck is it?
The fuck?
He's a power top.
He looks like Bieber and Deacon Frost's love child.. A face that yearns to be punched and I'm not even a remotely violent person
Then of course you've got the atrocious writing that comes with it

Never played it but the character designs in Severed were seriously ugly:
These look awesome.
What do you consider good designs?
you wanna punch good looking people?
