I don't know much about the size cap for XBLA as I don't own one, but let me search for other XBLA titles...
*searches*
Alright, for example this game, Castle Crashers:
*searches a bit more*
Braid:
While I personally am not very fond of the style, I don't think it's ugly all.
And I just looked for XBLA stuff instead of PSN stuff just to not get the "fanboy" criticism. And same goes for WiiWare. There are games that, while simple, look nice.
And PedroLumpy, no, playing the game wouldn't make me think different about The Dishwasher. It's not like I'm talking about low resolution or jaggies or anything like that. I'm talking about the very basics. The blood, the colors used, the characters design, the stages design. Everything.

That actually sounds really fun. :lol It could be like a choose your own adventure game where most options end in an amusing death.pakkit said:

Well that's just it. If you move beyond being 'technically' ugly, into 'bad art' territory, opinions are going to be all over the place. Sort of like, OMG ANOTHER BALD SPACE MARINE, LAMERZ. These discussions work much better when it's ugly on a technical level. Then we can all agree and laugh at shitty games. As it stands you're just asking for fanboys to troll Halo, KZ, GTA, etc. etc.
Still think playing it would help you though, if only to cement your opinion.

Stop being stupid. The look suits the game. It's your own fault if you are so shallow as to not be able to appreciate that.Mik2121 said:
And I'd fucking love some explaining as to why Castle Crashers or Braid has better character design of all things than this game.
Son of Godzilla said:
Where did I say the character design was better? Stop making up things please.
And I'm not being stupid nor shallow. I'm just saying it looks UGLY. I'm not saying the "mood" (dark, with lots of blood, etc..) he is trying to create doesn't suit the game. I'm just saying the final result is visually unappealing. For example, this wallpaper for the game looks nice. The game itself doesn't look so nice, though.
Again, and I think I need to repeat it every single time... I'm not talking about the game being fun or not. In fact, I'll guess the guy who created the game didn't bother that much with the visuals as he did care about the gameplay and coding parts. I'm not saying it's not quite a feat. to make a game by himself (I wouldn't be able, I have no idea about coding), I'm just talking about the visuals.

Seriously though.
I think Dishwasher looks like swampass.
And since my opinion is the only one that matters(cause it's mine hellooooo?) there's nothing anyone can do about it.
Other people may say otherwise but who cares about them? I certainly don't.
I still wouldn't make a thread about it though.

Also whining about how a game looks without reference to the actual game is insane. Excuse me while I start railing about how ugly Doom is.

I nominate Saint's Row.
Good lord what a sterile and atrocious looking game (with downright terrible performance to boot).

100% agreement. After Rock Band, I can´t even imagine what was in Activision´s minds to publish a game so painfully ugly as GH WT. It is not that the graphics are bad (although the lighting and effects are painful) is just that they look terrible. Plus, the IQ is wildly inconsistent; you have awesome detail in some textures, and some recicled PS2 detail in others.
If we add the clunky interface and bland game structure, I still can´t believe it got good reviews. It is a fun game, mainly because the underlying gameplay is almost bullet proof, but the rest lacks polish everywhere.
HEY. Let's do this again, but instead NOT use prehistoric screeshots to prove our point!
I'm done after this post. I just couldn't let it go unanswered. I don't even want to get into it. The game is gorgeous and so is Ratchet.
But as far as ugly games go, this Petz Dogz for Wii, or whatever the hell it is, is pretty atrocious. I know there have been jokes made before about it
pakkit said:Just look, Super Mario Galaxy, Wii fanboy's favorite dick-slapping game and argument for great visuals:
I've seen the Atari pull off better visuals, and with much better IQ.
Compare that steaming pile to this, and I don't understand what the Nintendo circle-jerks are for.
Have all the fun you want, Wii owners, but you're this generations Virtual Boy, and once the consumers move on to the next toy to catch there eye, the big boys with the real graphics will once again take the stage and save this industry.

I like the choices that don't just follow the "bad graphics = ugly" formula. A game can have astounding technical prowess and still not be appealing to look at. A game can have simplistic visuals and still avoid being an eyesore.
So overall.. you just didn't point out where did I say that Braid or Castle Crashers' characters were better than Dishwasher's. Way to bring up your point.Son of Godzilla said:
And.. what the hell are you talking about "without reference to the actual game"?. I've watched a lot of ingame videos and screenshots. Playing it would only change what I think about the gameplay.. but I didn't talk about it and this thread is not about that. I'm saying the visuals are bad, and that has nothing to do with playing it or not. And if you don't even understand this simple concept.. well.. then I'm wasting my time with you.

I said that because it's not what we are talking about, and I don't own a 360 so it's not like I have any chance to buy the game.

I feel exactly the same way. They are still going for the "holy shit, we are totally punk rock motherfuckers" look, and its just awful.egocrata said:
And I agree, compared the Rock Bands, the UI is pretty much the Fisher Price version of Rock Bands.

Dude, stop. You can't say you think CC looks good, complain about Dishwasher's character design, and then pretend you aren't saying CC's character design is better.Mik2121 said:
This isn't remotely true.
Yes I can. And that's exactly what I did.Son of Godzilla said:
I said Castle Crashers' visuals are overall nice (NEVER said the characters' style were better than Dishwasher's), while Dishwasher's aren't. And then I went to explain on further detail why they weren't, and I named the Character design (in-game, not the design itself depicted in the wallpaper I linked back a few comments) as well as the stage design and some other stuff.
