Terrible box art. Reminds me of Uncharted or something.

I think box art is definitely part of the 'whole package', so to speak, but as long as the game is great it's easy enough to look past it.Stark wrote:Since when is making money a bad thing?

I also feel sad about how easily people sell out and ignore artistic integrity for money. Ken is part of the problem, rather than the solution.
A few recent games (Ultiamte MvC3 comes to mind) have reversible box art that can be taken out and turned over if you feel like changing it up. Downloadable art is cool, but that'd be a great solution for a situation like this.

It looks like they have decided to go with the reversible cover idea:

You know this is a weird question but...
Isn't that woman really busty in-game? I remember people mocking the trailer for it. Just curious.

Too bad PC games don't really come in boxes anymore... at least, it's not worth it to buy them in the boxes.

Re: Official covers for the masses, downloadable covers for
Depends on the game. I agree, Steamworks titles (as the common thing) tend not to be really worth it, but I still usually buy the retail package anyway if I'm paying full price. Faster to copy from the DVD than download for the initial install, and some do have little extras, even non-CEs. Skyrim had a nice map, for example.RyaNtheSlayA wrote: Too bad PC games don't really come in boxes anymore... at least, it's not worth it to buy them in the boxes.
