Character models that bug you

The outfit is terrible, and the breasts are ridiculous, but the model is pretty good otherwise. I liked Quiet, but every time I had her in my group or saw her in a cuts cent I was like "Christ, couldn't they have put some clothes on her?" It's pretty silly.
Part of the issue with Herc is that his head was too big before, then they made his head too small.
Dust and Fidget from Dust: An Elysian Tail. Fidget especially. Just really don't like them, though the game is quite exceptional and beautifully animated.
EVERY character model from Code Name: STEAM
The models for S.T.E.A.M.'s characters look substantially better in 3D. A lot of the enemies still suck, save for the prowler which has a little animation touch with its quills that I quite like.
Game is still phenomenal.
I'm glad bayo is so freakish so I never feel that dirty when playing it.
On topic, I hate the way Fable 1's models looked. Bug-eyed, latern jawed bastards with ridiculously large feet and hands, the lot of them.
Yep Fable's models all looked like dog shit. They are all accentuated in all of the wrong ways.
They're terrible. Could have been such a nice looking game.

I have no sympathy for people bugged by Awakening's feet issue because (1) it's incredible to me that anyone plays FE games with the battle animations on and (2) character models are the least of Awakening's problems.

There's a difference between character design and character model.

Characters so ugly I returned the game and bought Momodora instead.
Ryu Hayabusa in Dead or Alive 5. 
They completely messed up his face:
He's supposed to be 25 years old...yeah right. XD And he was supposed to be a good looking guy before.
He also got hardly any muscle definition:
In my fitter days I have more visible abs than a super ninja, really? Whereas in Ninja Gaiden 3 he still was ripped like this:

Game looks fun, but the nendoroid design is just too much for me.

Not to mention, that all their faces look the same, and are completely devoid of expression. The lifeless copy-paste eyes don't really help.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
This is him in Ninja Gaiden 3.Ryu Hayabusa in Dead or Alive 5.
He's supposed to be 25 years old...yeah right. XD And he was supposed to be a good looking guy before.
And here's a better shot of his DoA5 face.
I think it's a believably older looking version of this:
He's still a good looking guy.
Also, what the heck at the KH HD Ansem post. They look almost the same.
Not so with the example I quoted, but people are confusing models and character design quite a bit in this topic.
Yeah, those creepy porcelain doll designs make it hard for me to continue living.
And I really liked XCX, and I'd probably like SO5.
Miki from Star Ocean 5

That is a fan edit. In reality he looks like this
Made this pic myself in DOA5.
But, yes, in the fan edit he looks handsome and closer to an actual 25 year old.
how are you gonna go an criticize an 8-year old's character design like that

You took what I said out of context, I meant that his DOA5 model looks 25 as it is. The fan edit is meant to make him look more like his previous/younger self:That is a fan edit. In reality he looks like this

But, yes, in the fan edit he looks handsome and closer to an actual 25 year old.
Whereas everyone in DOA5 is also meant to look more realistic than usual. It is all a matter of opinion though.
It really does look like one of those developer versions of kid sketches.

I struggle to think of any character design from Battleborn that doesn't look like it would be instantly rejected by someone competent. Nearly everyone looks like a first draft of an Overwatch character, and I'm not exactly enraptured by that game's art style either.
Oh god, this too. It's like they were purposefully trying to find the worst possible point between realistic and cartoon proportions. They're no better in motion, either.

Some have already been posted but most of the npcs in Zelda Twilight Princess are really ugly. The designs are like a bad mix between cartoony and faux-realistic and the sharp polygonal character models are especially bad compared to the much smoother character models in Wind Waker.

Really don't like the art style here. Plus it doesn't hold a candle to this:
Tekken 7 models in general. I often see people claiming Tekken 7 would look so great, when it actually does look pretty disappointing. Especially the character models. They are pretty low polygon:
Just look at the blocky shoulders...
Here I can literally count the polygons on Chloe's paw and hair. Also why is her fur jacket just made of a flat texture, as are the buttons on the paws? This generation there should be a little more possible.
Also, what is up with the hair of the characters. The alphamaps are really undetailed and of low resolution, almost like bitmaps:
Again, I can count the polygons by the edges of Nina's boobs.

The noticeable bags under her eyes and also her teeth are kinda off looking. They actually reshaded her face a bit when she was released two weeks ago as that pic is from the initial trailer. Strangely she looks a lot better when she's looking the opposite way as you'll see in the video.

How many polygons are there?
The massive amounts of clipping on the models in the SFV character select screen. Hair, clothes and accessories clipping like mad is acceptable during the match since everything's so dynamic, but the poses and animation on the character select screen are not only canned, but also completely right in your face. No one thought to clean those up?

In a game with gorgeous art like this:

You're met with in-game models that look like this:
I really don't understand why they can't use the art style of Symphonia/Abyss/Vesperia instead of the butt ugly style used in the more recent games. The cel-shaded look was way more faithful to the character art and in-game skits.

The faces of every human model in ME1 are downright hideous. The horrendous skin and hair textures aged like a dead carcass in summer, which makes the Shepard creation a tad difficult.

Yoshi in Snash Bros Melee. Just what were they thinking? I'm also not a fan of the Yoshi model from Yoshi's New Island on 3DS, which reminds me of the horrible Melee one.
I must prefer the Yoshi's Story/Woolly World model.
