Yep, especially Jill's character model. Her face in RE5 was kind of a downgrade, but it was still recognizable. In Revelations they just changed her face completely (for the worse)

Top of my mind:
-Buck from Halo 5, especially when rubbing his chin. I believe it borders uncanny valley:
-Almost every Gears of War character.
-Every incarnation of Nathan Drake.
-Most of Blizzard designs since Warcraft III. I do like some of the designs from WoW and from Overwatch, though, even if they are still too much cartoony to me.
-Team Fortress 2 characters.

I do have to say that I found Halo 5's hulked out, eight foot tall super soldier Nathan Fillion to be terrifying.
Woah woah woah.
Did bullet switch games or something?? Aint she from that fake guilty gear called blazblu or something?

Oh snap, the wrongness of that post distracted me from the even more obvious wrongness of the post.

I'm surprised the great fairy from Ocarina of Time hasn't been posted
LMAO!!

Is he supposed to look like Nathan Fillion or is it just a coincidence?
It's him, he voices the role too.

I still love the Zelda games, but I have been very disappointed at how awesome the concept artwork is and then the reality of the game's artwork by comparison.

While we're on the subject of KH, I always thought Rabbit looked rather...unpleasant.
Fuck that's amazing. XD
I loooooove those models.

It's embarrassing because it looks stupid. Her limbs are grotesque, her proportions are way out of whack. I don't really care about her exaggerated sex appeal, though I dont know whats supposed to be sexually appealing about her.

Every single character from SFV. They all have Mickey Mouse / Shadow the Hedgehog hands.
It took everything I hated about SF4 with the giant hot dog hands, scuba flipper feet, and 300 lbs of muscle on 120 lb frames. But then they added everything I hate about Unreal like the light glare, clipping through EVERYTHING, and no fucks given to making sure the hair moves in slightly natural ways.
It's one of the most hideous games I've ever seen.

This shit seems to have made it into the remaster...just...ugh..Definitely Vaan and his skeleton abs. His mini vest isn't great either.
Yep.
FE: Awakening characters have no feet. I hate it.
They all look like amputees or like they have horse feet

Terrible game all around really. I'm still a little bitter at the RE fan community for conning me into buying it.

Vaan's abs in FFXII seriously just why? Every other dude had normal abs and even in the CGI cutscenes his were normal.

The thing that bugs me about this is the crease on his closed eyelid looks like another, smaller eye.

These abominable potatoes from Final Fantasy XIV. Especially when they're running around naked or as Dragoons with lances four inches long.
Puntable pests.

By far the worst to me is EverQuest 1.
When they re-did the models, it fundamentally changed the look of the game. Yes, the original models were crude but they were charming and unique. When they re-did the models, they just looked like generic early-era 3D models with no personality. It was a big catalyst for me not wanting to play the game anymore.
Not the best example but you get the point...

You're gonna make me cry.Every single character in Street Fighter 4 and 5. Drives me crazy.
The ridiculous muscles, the bad faces, the animation. It's not Street Fighter to me.
SNK had the right idea with the more realistic designs:
What happened to Capcom. :0
Sera is adorable.Also seconding Cortana (her face just is weird), Young Ciri a little bit too, but my personal vote goes to
Bioware probably meant to make her the first on-screen female uruk-hai but it was copyrighted.
She's one of the few major female characters who isn't supposed to be knock out gorgeous and I love her for it.

Hell yeah, she is. She's literally the only reason I kept playing that game for as long as I did.
The model does look weird in that screenshot (those trademark BioWare Sharpie eyelashes), but her face is great and it's always sad to see people pooping on such a smart, respectable character design choice.

True, but Elena got a nose job. That or she's a pod person
That or more powerful hardware so they are able to make character models more detailed?
???? What game is bullet from?
I'm being seriously serious.
Fake guilty gear, or guilty gear?

Blazblue, she compained about being flat then puberty hits her...hard
Lots of the characters in UC2 had overly glassy eyes. I actually really dislike the kid Nathan Drake model in UC4, kid Drake in UC3 was way better.

I can get why people feel they look like different people, but Uncharted 1-3 had much more stylized graphics, whereas Uncharted 4 is just trying to make them look like actual people since they had the hardware power to do so.
Mind, I could see why someone would prefer the more cartoony look.

Haha Akumalooks like DJ Paulie D. Besides that yes they all look great here.
While we're on the subject of missing ribcages:
All of TWEWY cast are dangerously anorexic, butShiki takes it way too far. I could wrap one hand around that torso. & also those hip bones are so pointy I don't know why they aren't puncturing the skin.Eri/
At least it's nother real body, except in the AU where it is...
This is the absolute worst.
Like, you can't even suspend your disbelief because of the art style. This is just so bad and it just sticks out from the rest of the character art.
BLEH.

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
It's a minor annoyance, but I always thought the character models in MGS4 had strange looking hands. Like they're too long and flat or something. It's especially noticeable on the women characters like Mei Ling and Naomi.
Also, at certain angles, Sunny's got a weird old man face. Reminds me of Salazar(?) from RE4 lol

I feel like making them look realistic is the opposite effect for me. They look kind of terrible as it makes the ridiculousness of their costumes and design really clash with the fact they look like mostly real humans.

You're right. Takuan is wrong.
Okay, here is another one:
Final Fantasy XV's hair is made up of about 20k polygons per character, which is awesome and all...but due to the pretty poor antialiasing solution hair looks really rough and thick like wire...
They even model each eyebrow hair separately instead of using a texture for that. That is also cool...but with some characters with dark and thick eyebrows, like Gladio, this looks imo pretty bad:
Looks like two fat and hairy caterpillars are resting on his forehead. XD
