ITT: people who can't distinguish between art style and art direction
I'm probably in the minority, but I think the Darksiders games look ugly as sin artistically. Both of them, but especially the second one.
Art style is just that, the game's art style. Art direction on the other hand is how an art style comes together to create a cohesive look to evoke a certain mood, feeling, artistic choice, etc. A lot of the choices in this thread are essentially "I don't like the game's art style", which fair enough, but that doesn't mean the art direction is bad.
Yep. It's so bad.It's been a while since I played the game. It was this, right?
The third is Steamworld Heist! I love the art in that and Steamworld Dig 2.The first picture yes, the second one seems okay to me, the third picture... actually looks pretty good ? Nice details and lighting effects, I like the mood and style. What game is it ?
I mean, we're talking about games with WORST designs here, not just artstyles you don't particularly enjoy.
this looks pretty good and interesting tbqhTop Banana
This is the art direction they chose. Not limitations on the amiga or the developer - this abomination was intended.

Yes, that's essentially it.Art direction would be the consistency at which a game can respect it's art style, then?
To be fair, in the OP, all these terms are used interchangeably and I think that's what the discussion is about. "What games are ugly despite being technically alright?".
i'm not super serious but the art style is kinda like something an artsy indie game can get away with these daysoh you will change your tune pretty quickly five minutes in
if you can hold your vomit for that long, that is
Literally anything Rare made between 1994 and 2005. There were a lot of games with really bad CG characters toward the beginning of that run, but how we let them get away with some Tekken 1-ass art by the time they were making late-gen Xbox games is beyond me.
I mean come the fuck on.
Also, Nintendo STILL hasn't meaningfully redesigned Donkey Kong from that terribleness. They gave him a fur shader and went "It's fine." Ponderous.

I've never played WoW so it might not be the regular UI but this is my pick
The fonts, the colors, the UI ...
ewwww no wonder why it failed if just the UI is like that

I got this for free when I bought Vita and I could not believe how amateur hour whole game was in terms of graphical designs.
I interviewed the guy responsible for this, hehe.
i had no idea psasbr looked like this. dat 2003 flash game anesthetic mixed with toy story 1 cgi
Publicy?
Tokyo Mirage Sessions looks disgusting compared to Persona 5. It's like Target vs Gucci.

How was this allowed to happen
Opposite for me, I thought it looked amazing. I did disable chromatic abberation and film grain so that's probably why.I really dislike how Destiny 2 looks to be honest. Looks like it has a ugly filter on all the time.
Naw cousin. Overwatch was the main reasonLawBreakers. Indistiguishable heroes, levels etc. Just terrible for a fast-paced shooter. The main reason it flopped, imo.
