They hire literal MODELS for half the characters people call ugly. But it is literally impossible to capture the human face without cutting corners that ends up making them ugly.
The attempt to chase realism is what is causing this shit. Stylized will ALWAYS be superior and will stand the test of time, while all these "realistic" graphics end up getting outdated within 3 years. Look at fucking Heavy Rain for the biggest example of this. Praised to the high heavens for how realistic it looked when initially released but it is fucking BUTT UGLY.
