    More likely it's that they are completely recognizable as the same character and virtually everyone, after the patch, will look at the poster's character and think, "Yes, this is you," rather than, "You are a complete stranger, I don't recognize you at all."

    The new character models and the old character models are somewhat like identical twins. People who know a set of twins very well can tell them apart, but no one else can.

    There are subtle differences between the old and new examples in that post but to say one is "unrecognizable" as the other is absolutely ridiculous.

    Not to mention that style of feedback is useless to the devs. "It feels off" or "it doesn't look right" isn't actionable feedback. "My eyes used to curve downward and now they curve upward, here's a zoomed in picture of what I'm talking about" is actionable feedback. You need to break down exactly what you feel is wrong if you want a realistic chance of it being addressed.

    Using a disability as an insult over slightly different video game pixels. Yikes.

    To add to that, cropping screenshots to focus on specific parts would also help a lot with comparing things.
    If you just put two screenshots of whole faces as they are there's a high chance that people who are not intimately familiar with your character will not be as sensible to the differences as you are, and so to them it virtually "looks the same".
    But if you focus their attention on say the eyes, the mouth, etc, by properly framing them, it's already more likely that they'll see the differences, because they're not distracted by everything else.
    (and by "people" and "they" I mean both the people posting here and whatever official entity who might or might not be reading these threads)
