and this game would be... ?

It's FFVII: Dirge of Cerberus.

 

[rvy]

I fucking hate pretty much everything as far as Final Fantasy goes, but...

This is just... I don't know.

 

[Always-honest]

kameo's main character

 

[BattleMonkey]

No words.

Because they aren't bad, just people pissy that it isn't same as the original game.

 

[Odrion]

Although the drawing is kinda cool, in the game she's represented by her tits and a goofy hat. Oh, and her Cowgirl skin shows her off in a pair of assless chaps. Hooray.

 

[Rahxephon91]

Kratos
Master Cheif
Drake
Shepard

 

[Odrion]

Kratos is a good design, a simple design that communicates to the player his brutality. Even at first glance, you know what he's all about.

I always found Master Chief to be kinda funny. He looks like something a Paintball fanatic would draw up.

 

[GhostRidah]

I would love to see what some of you think is good design :lol

 

[SolsticeZero]

Because they aren't bad, just people pissy that it isn't same as the original game.

I agree, people just seem upset that they're not the characters from VC1. I really don't mind the people, actually, and I'm kind of enjoying the light-hearted atmosphere that is being brought to the game. Granted, I would punch a baby if I could get a Japanese voice track, but meh, it's a UMD. Can't expect everything.

Kratos
Master Cheif
Drake
Shepard

I was going to question you hating Drake, but my mind is truly boggled that you're hating the character design on a character you can design yourself.

 

[KibblesBits]

Most generic characters in the series.

Wait wat?

 

[jediyoshi]

Because they aren't bad, just people pissy that it isn't same as the original game.

Never touched the original so I don't have a feel for the original squad. All I know is I want to throw my PSP with utmost strength whenever the main character and his ginormous eyes are on the screen.

The obligatory cute mascot doesn't even do its job.

 

[practice02]

this^^
and anything Todd Macfarlane and Brinks facial designs.

 

[Big Chungus]

veiny boobs

 

[The Technomancer]

I was going to question you hating Drake, but my mind is truly boggled that you're hating the character design on a character you can design yourself.

This always gets me. Yes, you can customize Shepard, but the overall design is always similar, even for the face, and he's damn ugly.

 

[Espada]

veiny boobs

Screw the boobs, what the hell is going on at the hip/crotch area? That looks terrible!

 

[Fraeon]

this^^

Hahahaha, more like bad character designs that annoy other players. I was told to stop jumping at a LAN when folks got fed up with this guy's jumping sound.

 

[hikarutilmitt]

They gave zero suit Samus heals in other M? most un-piratical thing ever when fighting aliens :lol

Oh wait team ninja.

She's gotta wear something to keep that ass shape.

Also, you guys realize the heels aren't that much taller from the boots she was already wearing, right?

 

[BotoxAgent]

Seth in SFIV

 

[WickedLaharl]

It's FFVII: Dirge of Cerberus.

well that explains why i didn't recognize the character. :lol

 

[practice02]

This always gets me. Yes, you can customize Shepard, but the overall design is always similar, even for the face, and he's damn ugly.

Wat?

 

[Kintaro]

I've learned that no one in this thread likes anything.

 

[DancingJesus]

Crysis dudebro is lame:

Tingle is disturbing:

 

[bonesmccoy]

How about this?

ALL PES PLAYER RENDITIONS. I love the PES series, but the players' faces.... Oh the faces. :lol

 

[Ledsen]

People are seriously saying Bayonetta is a bad character design? I'm very disappointed, GAF :/

 

[bhlaab]

Tingle is disturbing:

Yeah, he is. So his character design is successful, then.

 

[Gouken]

People are seriously saying Bayonetta is a bad character design? I'm very disappointed, GAF :/

bayonetta rocks.

 

[DancingJesus]

bayonetta rocks.

I don't think anyone here is insulting the games themselves - just the character designs within the game. Art style and gameplay are two totally different things.

 

[rager]

Nuff said.

 

[Archie]

Although the drawing is kinda cool, in the game she's represented by her tits and a goofy hat. Oh, and her Cowgirl skin shows her off in a pair of assless chaps. Hooray.

Most of the character designs in League of Legends look like they come from a bad Saturday morning cartoon, but there are a few good ones. (Ezreal, Mordekaiser, and Viegar in patricular)

 

[Supervlieg]

I'm never been a fan of these guys.

Definitely not up to Nintendo's usual design standards, especially for a Mario game.

Yeah, never really understood how these came to be.

 

[Supervlieg]

One could argue that almost every character in this thread is a good character design, because they were memorable enough to hate. The truly bad characters are the ones nobody remembers.

Good point. That said I hated the space marine design in the metroid series. Really generic if you ask me. The concepts look sort of okay, but ingame was horrible!

 

[Threi]

most WRPG characters

 

[Snuggles]

Characters who look like steroid binging muscle men. I don't want to look like that, you're not letting me live my fantasy dammit.

 

[WillyFive]

The new Crash.

 

[sykoex]

most WRPG characters

That reminds me, I rented Oblivion and the procedurally generated faces in that game literally made me nauseous.

 

[practice02]

People are seriously saying Bayonetta is a bad character design? I'm very disappointed, GAF :/

She looks like a praying mantis for christ sake.

 

[WillyFive]

Finally got around to reading the thread.

This thread is a joke.

 

[Snuggles]

She looks like a praying mantis for christ sake.

She's like a sexy praying mantis. And praying mantises are awesome.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

She looks like a praying mantis for christ sake.

I thought that was the point. Are you saying any character that achieves what its going for is bad design?

 

[practice02]

I thought that was the point. Are you saying any character that achieves what its going for is bad design?

we could go throught this list and pick apart all the characters and come to the conclsussion that they aren't bad character designs because none of them really break the game. True bad characters designs are thing like odd job from golden eye or yoda in in Soul caliber 4 what this thread really is 'IYO ugly character designs'

 

[Fimbulvetr]

She looks like a praying mantis for christ sake.

That's a new one. :lol

 

[MDSLKTR]

Bland and boring

This. Did they really had to make all the present characters look like typical montreal hipsters/douchebags?

 

[webrunner]

1. Half-belts on jacket
2. Half-belts on inside of jacket folded out? or just big triangles for no reason?
3. belt collar
4. knee boots with laces all the way up
5. frilly shirt which opens up to frilly tank top?
6. random kneeguards as only armor
7. what looks to be a potholder on the chest
8. boots are actually sandals on the bottom
9. belt ends (with no buckle) on either side
10. 'keyhole' formed from aforementioned jacket and frilly shirt

And this is supposed to be the stoic, serious character?

 

[vg260]

This guy needs to go.

Totally agree. Possibly the worst SF design ever.

 

[webrunner]

Totally agree. Possibly the worst SF design ever.

You know, i hated his design, then I realized he's designed to look like a pumpkin. I still hated it but at least it made some semblance of sense.

 

[Dina]

this^^
and anything Todd Macfarlane and Brinks facial designs.

F that. Orb is fucking ace, as are almost all the Q3 models. Anarki, Slash, Visor, Patroit, Mynx, Klesk, Uriel and Doom to name a few.

 

[Dabookerman]

I thought that was the point. Are you saying any character that achieves what its going for is bad design?

In a thread called "Bad Character Designs that annoy you".. rather than "Character Designs that annoy you" can you really expect any form of rationality in this thread?

 

[Shig]

The new Crash.

Crash has always been awful.

 

[7Th]

Am I too late for the "every single post-2008 Pokemon" jab?

 

[Bisnic]

Some armor sets in WoW can be quite hideous. Lately, some of the T9 sets are pretty bad, not to mention multiple classes share the same design.

I mean, look at this gnome, his face is almost saying "Please kill me" :
