Why are so many modern developers obsessed with putting ugly characters in their games?

[76561199223588030]

By ugly; I mean characters that are not pleasing to the eye. Games like horizon zero dawn, mass effect andromeda, last of us 2, various indie titles, etc. All have really ugly and hideous main or supporting characters that physically hurt to look at. They're not gross like horror movie/game monsters. But designed to be off putting in a way. They give me uncanny valley vibes. Like they are supposed to be human, but not actually. They look like malformed or corrupted versions of humanity, like there's something wrong with them, something evil and dangerous.

On the flip side, I dont like anime waifu gacha games either. Something about how flat faced anime characters are, just creeps me out. I dont hate anime. I used to love naruto and dragon ball back in the day. But I grew out of it.

Imagine you woke up after 12 dyslexics drunks Tattooed your face, and then you thanked me for letting you hang out ? Because that's exactly what would actually happen IRL if you didn't polish your beta downward puppy eye stare.

You know that little tingle that makes you pee when I fake punch? well id make your kidneys fail son, just to prove I'm the Apex Alpha Male. the Adam that God loves more. Id breastfeed your own father with a mole on my knee.

idk the only time I noticed something like that was in Horizon forbidden west where the main character just got more fat and acne

Dude, seek therapy.

I'mma laugh when this thread inevitably gets locked, because people are going to turn it into a topic of "REE wokeism is fascism!"

Don't got the time, patience, or crayons to decipher all that's wrong here. You have a good one.

Imagine supporting the enslavement of every culture, language and religion under a single mindset for "the greater good" and thinking you're the good guy.

And the best part is, you don't even have a reasonable or logical argument, you just resort to petty Twitter/Reddit insults because you blindly follow an ideology you don't understand.

I still love you though! Take care!

I think it's the demand for photorealism. The closer you get to photorealism the worse the uncanny valley effect can get.

I have to disagree. Some devs make their characters uglier on purpose. The chick who modeled for the mass effect andromeda female mc. She's freaking gorgeous. But the devs decided to make her ugly intentionally. The deep sunk eyes, the large mouth, the comically huge lips, the crooked nose. Like why? I think it may have ruined her modeling career, because I haven't seen her in any other game. The male model was left relatively untouched. In comparison look at dmc5. All the models look nearly identical to their characters. Except for V. Vergil looks better than his model actually. More fleshed out. More real. Dante and Nero look pretty close. V looks like a bootleg kylo ren.

Actually we are not.

As long as debate is constructive and people are friendly.
Steam forums now only have paid moderators, so nobody gets banned for voicing an opinion, the moderator does not like.

Ofc.. you still have to abide rules and be friendly, but we can debate stuff now.


On Topic:

Aesthetics are subjective and I would go as far as to say, that people did not pick their subjective bias themselves, they were instead biased by their enviroment. Basically what I am trying to say is, that we can´t actually come to any agreement, because everybody have their own subjective bias about aesthetics.

Yes, must have more supermodels
