Dark Souls 1 is really rough to the eyes. Specially on 360. The sequels are great, however.
Hell no

Games with the worst graphics DESIGN?

What the fuck is wrong with Heist?
That makes no sense. Marcus is the best.
What are you insinuating good sir?
I have to go with Child of Light. It was trying way way too hard to be artistic and the result was just downright ugly. I'm not really an expert when it comes to artistic design (did take a 101 class on it college) but there's just so much clashing here. From the color palette, to the strange design decisions (ex the weird character portraits) , to many of the assets seemingly clashing with each other the only common element seems to be "water color" but even that is completely broken by the obviously 3D main character. It's the only game I have ever skipped because I could not stomach the look of it.
Unloved is a dimly lit mess, with weird glowy red shit hovering around items. It's one big eyesore that I uninstalled after my first time playing it.
You're shitting on a game's graphic design but gears of war looks like a pile of junk
Anyone not saying recent mobile Square Enix ports is wrong. I mean, seriously. They destroyed Final Famtasy Tactics. Don't fuck with Matsuno's menus, Square!

never played the game ,but I love the look of that, lol.
I kind of prefer Origins' flat and outlined style over Legends' pastel 3D-esque aesthetic.
I don't inherently dislike either style though.
I don't remember this much. I like the red on white. Easy to see players.Drawn to Death is really fucking ugly
I find most Platinum games super ugly, outside of Transformers :/
Some parts of the Gears series are a bit fugly but it doesnt belong near this thread at all
That's not gameplay tho, that's a stillAlso, although I love the game dearly, I have to give a shout out to Little Big Adventure.
The actual game is charming af

you shut your mouth
twinsen looked good for its time, just not the cutscenes
Agreed with that as well. They need to hire some new environment artist and level designers
The art design was not its strong suit. It was sharp and clean and all that, but we're just talking about design/aesthetic. It's one of my favorites from that era, but it's not nice to look at.
Say what you will about the character portrays but that first screenshot does a huge disservice to your argument. They nailed the children's book vibe so well.I have to go with Child of Light.

I'll be deeply controversial for a moment and say part of the latest God of War. Just reached the lake and it's all a bit jarring, the background colours and landscape, the design and colouring of the 'temple' thing and the not very good water effects all conspire to make it a surprisingly ugly area. Considering how beautiful the game is initially I'm a little disappointed it feels so disjointed visually here.
It's not the prettiest game in the world sure, but hardly one of the worst offenders, specially if you take into consideration when it released. Would even call the stylized graphics "pleasing" when you're waltzing around. Game is only 'ugly' during cutscenes
At least the Child of Light guy explained his choice, unlike most of the drive by posts in here
Not sure I agree, but I'll just let those screenshots speak for themselves. But again, they're very good games, so I understand the apologism.
The greatest ninja franchise of all time, Shinobi deserved better then this hideous shit. Sega created the most bitchin' ninja possible, and gave him the shittiest environments ever to run around in.
First crackdown is a strong contender for worst UI in games though
Shit looks like it was made on Excel
I think you're expecting way, way too much from 1997 but lets agree to disagree, the screenshots surely speak for themselves.

Having never played PlayStation Allstars, I am legit shocked looking at this screen. It's so bad.
Drawn to Death was what first came to mind for me, but that at least nailed what it was going for. It's just that what it was going for was deeply misguided. This though is just, yeesh.
;)
Yep the game looks like a mobile ripoff. Another game that looks bad is PUBG, it's just so generic looking, even on Ultra setting on PC. Everything about the game looks bland and generic.
I don't like the design of MKX's characters. They all look the same to me. The all seem to share the same desaturated colours. Brown, green and little bit of blue. I can't barely recognize them in the character screen thumbnails as well.
Bravely Default.
Many used chibi and miniature model characters because of the limitations. But this game is different. Its a game all about chibi/miniature design instead, even the art.
