Personally, I could never get past the way El Shaddai looks. I know some people like it but something about it just bugs me.
I can't remember the name of the game, but some Indie "Deus-Ex like" game on Steam, which actually seemed pretty good but looked so god damn aweful my eyes blead everytime I looked at a screenshot. Screenshot? More like screenshit
Final Fantasy IX. Supposedly it's the perfect game for me, as it's a send beck to the classics. I'm pretty mild on VII and I hate VIII and X. I just look at the characters, and go blegh.
What the...? Is there any attempt at an explanation for this in the game?
And I agree, El Shaddai's art was amazing and made playing through the game worth it.
I'm glad I'm not the only person who hates this art style. I mean I'll play it but I really dislike the art.
I played that because of the art style.
Consortium?
This one too. I have never seen a Nintendo game with such an ugly art style before.Code Name: Steam
Anything going for photorealism. So, basically, most Western developed modern games. Give me cartoony, give me comic book style, give me anime, give me something tough to categorize! But give me something that looks like it could exist outside my window and you lose my interest.
You know, a game in a genre that you would have normally been interested in, if you didn't find the art style so off-putting.
One example that comes to mind immediately is Dust: An Elysian Tail.
I was interested in this after hearing it was an entirely hand-drawn 2D brawler, and it got high praise from Giant Bomb, too, but good God, that is some of the ugliest artwork I've ever seen in my life. I can't look at the characters in that game without wanting to throw up. It's like it came straight from a Deviantart page. I still haven't played the game, simply because I had such a negative reaction to its art. Yeah, it's shallow. Yes, it's irrational. Maybe there is a good game underneath the bad art. But I can't bring myself to play a game that makes me cringe just looking at it. Maybe someday, though.
Have you ever experienced this, GAF?

Injustic. Ugly as fick characters.
JRPGs with the cute anime art styles. They just look kinda childish, and whilst I'm fairly sure they are complex and decent games, they just don't appeal to me at all.
Final Fantasy games are the best example I can think of. I love a good RPG, but it just doesn't interest me.

YES! I honestly feel a bit bad cause I heard good things but my god, does this game look aweful. I don't even know what it is, but it just looks repulsive to me

WTF is that?
Dust looks absolutely horrible. No contest on that one.
