Character designs in which you can't take them seriously every time they show up?

Yeah, I totally saw these and they were cool and way more intimidating. In game, they are like odd and in contrast with Master Chief. Like shit, I saw the new armor on Infinite and I was like, "HOLY FUCK! That looks clean!" Saw the gameplay and was like...what? One of the coolest looking dudes in gaming should have equally cool looking enemies. Maybe later in the game you get to fight enemies like that? Oh, also, (I only played like 2 or 3 hours of a few of the beginning stages of every Halo in the MCC), do you ever get to fight large scale bosses or is it always more humanoid sized ones!?Those little guys are called Grunts lol.
Pretty sure if my memory is correct in the lore they are like 5.5 ft tall and weigh about 250lbs. So in real life they would be frightening but since Chief is such a unit they seem really small haha.
The concept art for the Halo series definitely makes the aliens more intimidating then they appear in the games.
An example :

One of the Antagonists of Days Gone looks like the Main Character without a beard but he wears his Cappy forwards instead of backwards like Deacon does and i just could never not laugh about this fact.
Looks like a clown
Hate how Sega keeps pushing him when no one likes him
Zavok from the Sonic series. Supposed to be a big bad at the same level as Metal Sonic but just looks like a big goof overall.
Lol! He reminded me of Jamie Kennedy for some reason. Like that movie were he is a gangster or something?One of the Antagonists of Days Gone looks like the Main Character without a beard but he wears his Cappy forwards instead of backwards like Deacon does and i just could never not laugh about this fact.
*Looks at list*
*Viper series*
Then again, Xeno2's main character designer Saitom is an eromanga artist by trade. Also contributed to Bikini Warriors... which is exactly what you'd expect.
wonder how that feels as a concept artist lolThose little guys are called Grunts lol.

Your first comment to me was fine, but the second is you insisting a character model/render clearly has a camel toe when it doesn't and that I'm somehow intentionally being obtuse about seeing it is what caught me off guard. So I would consider that a "weird" conversation to go into. Strange, bizarre, whatever else you wanna call it, but I wasn't trying to call you a pedophile like that other person said - and I do apologize if that's how it sounded. My posts can can come off a little stronger than I intend sometimes even though I'm really not that upset.
A you sure fooled me lol I wouldn't have guessed you thought anything else I posted was interesting. Doesn't sound like we read into each others posting styles well then.
I called that conversation weird because that poster jumped right to claiming there was a camel toe and that I somehow wasn't seeing it....that was the weird part. And I apologized above already if that's how it came off, because it wasn't my intent. And I don't appreciate you implying I called someone a pedophile when I didn't.
What statement specifically? Because I mean, maybe at a very fast first glance or if it was a black and white image I could see some people making a quick judgement, but actually taking a good look at the design it becomes pretty clear it's a jumpsuit.
BEHOLD!!! the be all, end all!!!
rachel from resident evil revelations
This and several others put me off the entire game. She can't see. It's just nonsense.
Resident Evil 1 was such an awesome game in part because the designs were all simple and practical, and yet the characters were memorable. This try-hard nonsense cheapens the franchise.

interesting. I thought that was lien neville from KOF Maximum Impact. I hadn't played KOF in so long.
Halo for the most part doesnt have bosses. The only large "Boss encounters" are against Scarabs(giant 4 legged vehicle). The other boss fights against smaller enemies are honestly not very good unfortuneately.
For the most part you'll be fighting the same enemies (Grunts, Jackals, Elites, Brutes, Hunters, The Flood) over the series, Halo 4 finally introduced a new enemy type(people dont really like them).
The joy of Halo campaigns are the sandboxes, enemy encounters and the story(if you like it). The games are a lot better on co-op as well if that's an option.
As someone who grew up playing Halo, my experiences with the franchise will be totally different from those coming in 19 years later.
Chief is definitely fresh af though, especially in Infinite lol.
A lot of the newcomers in Street Fighter 5 look terrible
Ed, Abigail and Falke just look crap
Lucia is just a plain ass cop
Necalli is decent idea, probably just his hair clipping all the time ruins it
Sean also looks like a dork but he gets a pass beacuse he isnt playable

Hah, funny trend

omg lmao
cant unsee it now
Oh, I see! Thanks for letting me know, I had no idea. We will have different experiences, you are right, and you are also correct on the fact Chief is fresh AF!
I always feel that the main issue with Cindy's outfit is because she is dressed for a Music Festival like Tomorrowland or Coachella but got called into work. Her outfit is actually "realistic/grounded" as I see cropped jackets, booty shorts, and bikini wear all summer. This shit doesn't compliment her active profession or role so she sticks out like a sore thumb and it is bad. If they went the beach outfit route DLC that all games and anime do her outfit wouldn't contrast so much.
I mean, we could obviously post an endless supply of trashy weeb designs from a bunch of modern JRPGs (and they are all worthy of criticism). However, more than any of them, I think Cindy's design bothers me the most. She is absolutely emblematic of the entire game's chauvinistic foundation. Not only am I not able to take her character seriously, but she is indicative of why I can't take the game seriously.
Noctis and the Bros(& sister) get a pass as they dress like they come from Insomnia and you can guess that its citizens dress up like that except maybe not as luxurious lol
Why is THAT surprising? Maybe I've lived in japan too long, but that's not at all surprising to me.
The chewbacca-like character (forgive me for not knowing the names) seemed ok, and more fitting with what I thought Halo would look like. Now, the speaking aliens? Nah fam, they don't seem to belong to the Halo world I had in my mind. They look oddly cartoonish and way too colorful (like an enemy from Jet Force Gemini). It's that dissonance between MC and the enemies again, it feels like two different art styles to me. Again, y'all are very used to it and were raised with it, but it looks very odd to me, a newcomer.
Oh, and to clarify, is not that I dislike the designs, it's just that the enemies look like the belong in a different game, even while looking good.
Well....forget what you had in mind and think it should look like, and engage with what they gave you.
It's an alliance of alien species, I wouldn't expect them to look similar to humans and human culture.
At least her character fits the design. Most of these other women have no excuse :s
Hah, funny trend
It's not supposed to look human-like in mind, at all. It's just that I feel like there is disconnection between the main character and the world (even the ships look amazing) and the enemies. I can't get over that dissonance, and that's why I mention some of the enemies as I couldn't take them seriously. I've talked with a few Halo fans before and they understand what I mean even if they don't necessarily agree. It's ok. We all have opinions.
Pretty much these
Some are passable others are just "fuck this, im too old for this shit" kind of thing which to me mostly are FF designs
OP
OP
It's a great design but would be better without the pantie showing like that.
but she's the horniest or zeros sex addict sisters. And that's not like head cannon. That's the story. It makes sense if we're not discussing the actual problems of the character or story otherwise.
DIgimon Cyber Sleuth tried to convince me that somehow this woman is a well-respected detective.

Okay that makes sense. Kinda like Miu from Danganropa V3.
Is she just... hanging out at home? Because I could just barely buy that.

If she's actually out in the field, then that's stupid.
If this is just her online avatar, then it's stupid, but most avatars are dumb.
You see this is a tactical outfit for when in combat the enemy will target her exposed chest and hips. They will not see that she carries the word of God as a weapon.
Hah, funny trend
Japanese artists are culturally a lot less reserved in regards to sexy designs, regardless of gender. I've seen plenty of shoujo series with skeevy designs, including Sailor Moon itself.
Japanese fanart overall is very fanservice-oriented and it leaks to creative output.
I care not for the particular cardinal direction in which they came from, but most mascot characters that are designed to look small and cute. Baby Yoda? Definitely not my thing. Moogles? As a DRK main, they can catch these hands too. List goes on, but luckily it seldom ruins things for me.
I used to think the same thing until I heard his voice actor talk regularly. He legit just sounds like that.
Honestly one of the main reasons I can't bring myself to play FFXV. How did we get to this point.He looks like a fucking idiot, even by FF standards
Lookin like your fentanyl dealer cousin from Indiana who stole your bmx bike to sell for parts back in 2002One of the Antagonists of Days Gone looks like the Main Character without a beard but he wears his Cappy forwards instead of backwards like Deacon does and i just could never not laugh about this fact.
