I can see what the Roblox developers were going for with it. But it failed, terribly. There are two main roots of this failure;

1, The design of the character, 5 blocks put together in the very rough shape of a body. It isn't designed to look like a photo-realistic person, just close enough to make it familiar.

2. The character's artwork (at least for the male body) makes him look like a 35 year old man. I assume they made this decision thinking that the Roblox user-base and the subsequent rise in popularity of war groups and FPS games made them take the "splosions n’ guns" approach to atheistic. However this atheistic does NOT contribute to the established atheistic of Roblox. Roblox's established atheistic reflects its original goal of being a building game, nothing more, nothing less.



As for your question, yes ODers will buy it because it makes them look like a background character from CoD.



TL;DR: 3.0 looks bad because of bad design and art choices.
