Bad character designs that annoy you

nero_cg01.jpg


Nero's character design pisses me off because he looks too much like Dante, theirs nothing to really distinguish him from dmc3 Dante. I find the whole Japanese cliche of platinum Blonde badasses to be really annoying. Why even make a new character when you're basically using the same character with a 'devil bringer'...stupid.

you know what, thinking back on it, it's only the character designs of all the characters, enemies included that's stupid. Some of the stages were actually pretty nice!

I don't like you.

Edit: Not to mention, your grammar is terrible.
 
I really like Bayonetta herself and the other human characters. The thing is, I really dislike the way most of the angel enemies look. I just don't like the way they look. They aren't cool looking things to beat on.

This is the BS I can't stand. Replacing one of the coolest characters in the Tekken universe with some polygonal eye candy. THIS type of shit is why gamers get a bad rap. At least Bayonetta is creative. (And yes, I know Eddy is technically still in the game, but what the hell is the point in bringing in the spinning slut bucket?)[/QUOTE]
A female Capoeira fighter was originally intended anyway.

[QUOTE]Christie Monteiro (born October 18, 1987) is a character in the Tekken series of video games. She is the granddaughter of the master who taught Eddy Gordo. Originally, the development team intended to create a female Capoeira fighter for Tekken 3, but felt too unconfident at the time and so opted for a male character instead.[/QUOTE]

You're defending a character whose witchcraft is mostly dependent on her hair(her clothes, giant heels, fists, monsters. As cool as her 6 inch heel pistols are, she's a ridiculous character design all around. But the entire game has shitty art direction though. This doesn't take much away from the game being awesome.

You're a shitty art direction. Bayonetta looks amazing in every way >:( They really nailed the angelic and serene, but still creepy look of the enemies. The expressionless statue faces are a stroke of genius.

He wears a freaking thong.

There's a difference between someone showing off because of vanity, and wearing a fucking thong to battle.
Yeah, that's my problem with him. It's as if the character designers drew a typical sexy looking girl wearing something really revealing for no reason, then decided she should be a he.

That's interesting. I wonder why they decided to change after the fact.

Nevertheless

Eddy Gordo > Christie Monteiro

Bayonetta > 95% of generic video game characters

SN: Anyone know who does the character design for the Soul Caliber series? That guy (team?) is good at his job.
 
Oh yeah, Zeke sucks. His new cowboy rockstar look is somehow ever worse than Infamous 1. Same with Cole, he seems to have gotten worse with every revision, what were left with now is one ugly motherfucker.

Eh, I've seen other games with that design to denote bad or disconnected angelic beings.

I want to see a Bayonetta drag queen. That's all I need to die happy.

Bayonetta pretty much is a drag queen. There's a lot of that to the character's design and animation. She was not some chauvinistic male developer's ideal woman to fuck, she was some dude's ideal woman to be. It's not a knock on the game or its design. In fact it's kind of awesome they slid that past so many people.

Also, along with Bayonetta, all you people saying Master Chief, Kratos, and Gordon Freeman are out of your goddamn minds. Three of the most iconic designs in the medium, and not by accident. Just because they're too popular for you to like and retain hardcore cred doesn't make the designs bad. :lol

Are they iconic purely for their visual design, or is there more to it than that? If it goes beyond the visual design, then people don't have to be out of their minds to dislike the visual design.

Like, take Master Chief. He doesn't annoy me, I kind of like him, actually, but his visual design is not really anything special. He's certainly inoffensive enough, but the reason he's popular is because his game is awesome and his personality in the game is cool. If Kratos' visual design alone is sufficient to make him inarguably great, then why isn't Quan Chi swimming in ass?

The one of them that I don't like, Gordon, I don't like because I know a guy that looks like him who was a local child molester in my hometown. Thus, Gordon's image bothers me. It has nothing to do with hardcore cred. It's unbelievably egocentric to think that everyone should view the world the exact same way you do and that if they don't, there's something wrong with them.
