Uncanny valley: Have you experienced it, and if you haven't, do you think you will?

I didn't have enough space in the topic title, but I'm interested if you've ever experienced revulsion from a video game character/characters? I get creeped out when I watch videos of realistic robots, this being a good example:

But I've never experienced the uncanny valley feeling with video games, even the most realistic ones. I wonder if I ever will with more realistic models in video games. I think the physical existence of those robots is what gets me; knowing that an animated model is not "real", I think, doesn't put me on my guard. I really don't know, though.

Yeah same. I don't get creeped or weirded out by video game models. But I still would say I sorta experience it, just in a different way.
The reason why almost human looking robots are so much more unpleasant than those that don't look real at all is that they are so close to the real thing that the flaws stick out like a sore thumb and we (unconsciously) focus more on them than the impressive positives. And THAT is what happens to me with video games as well.
Graphics are at such a high level that the flaws, things like jaggies, low-res textures, edges due to a polygon limit, pop-in, model-swaps and just generally things that aren't super accurate stick out and I can't help but notice them more than I did last gen. So you could argue I do experience the uncanny valley in video games, just in a different way.

Nah, the closest was that interview where the interviewee wasn't an actual person. Generally speaking I'm like one of those people who eats while doing autopsies - I've just gotten over the basics to the point where it isn't much of a deal with me anymore.
