No joke, I like this more.

Hell just light red 10's on a dark red back round would have been better.

Evlar · Apr 23, 2012

Still not as embarrassing as the Okami Wii cover.

Batman: AA GotY was terrible, it's like they literally tried to top it. It actually takes a few second to locate the name of the game on this one.

Haha came here to say this.

YO DAWG, I HEARD YOU LIKE BOXART.....

I'll buy it on Steam...no worries about "box art" then.

Reading the thread title, then opening the thread.

Syril · Apr 23, 2012

Shit, if only there was some way to print out your own cover like this one right here.

BobTheFork · Apr 23, 2012

It looks like he touched some of that horrible text and is trying to wipe it off of him.

At least the title is still half noticeable.

udivision · Apr 23, 2012

Some indie game needs to be named 10 out of 10.

Or heck, make that the next CoD subtitle.

EDIT: Shit, forgot to change Game Informer to Gamekult. Be right back.

Seik · Apr 23, 2012

That's fucking horrible.

Just so you can have an idea, I reject any Greatest Hits from my collection, so this GOTY bs is just...absurd imo.

LiK · Apr 23, 2012

cover of the year yo

TheJollyCorner · Apr 23, 2012

we need a GOTY cover for a game that received horrible reviews.

At least we got a free official replacement cover for that one.

As I said in the other thread...now that's artistic integrity!

Gotta sell to that COD audience. They apparently love their black and white cover with 100 logos!

More of a fan of people on fire.

Funny enough, Two Worlds II has a GOTY edition.

I love bad box art.

MYE · Apr 23, 2012

hahahahahahahajhwkuejdhweifh

still funny as hell

goddamn

edit:

Its even funnier if you picture Batman trying to squeeze himself through all that crap

G-Fex · Apr 23, 2012

I think Megaman 2 has the best box art

B_Rik_Schitthaus · Apr 23, 2012

NES Mega Man

Those where funny and interesting,
the Batman one is just some art they had made for a magazine exclusive and re purposed.

RoboPlato · Apr 23, 2012

My favorite part of is is that because of the enormous "10 out of 10" they couldn't fit the title onto the boxart so they had to put it in a small image on the right side.

I always thought the magazine art was a copy of the unannounced boxart. Now the Batman boxart is even WORSE for me.

Damn, the first Batman's boxart was amazing. Such a shame.

astroturfing · Apr 23, 2012

fairly disgusting.

that seriously works on the game purchasing masses? this entices them to buy the product? review scores and shit just plastered on the cover?

:/

RivalCore · Apr 23, 2012

Disgusting. This abomination of marketing will never be displayed upon my mahogany fireplace with all my other polypropylene vessels!

gutterboy44 · Apr 23, 2012

Lol, it took me a second to realize what was so awful about that Castlevania DS game box art. "Looks like the standard generic anime bullshit, seems kind of cheery for a Castlevania game I suppose, o m g, there is a box within a box!"

Hex · Apr 23, 2012

Yeah we were talking about this over in the you know, Arkham City Game of the Year thread.

RedSwirl · Apr 23, 2012

I honestly kinda like the way the "10 out of 10" looks.

We get GFWL and WB/Rocksteady's hatred though. I'd rather deal with shitty box art.

Windom Earle · Apr 23, 2012

lmao, wow. And it can't even touch Arkham Asylum.

panda21 · Apr 23, 2012

i love the box art on euro board games. some of it looks like those megaman covers, and 80s video game art in general...

LOL! Winner!!!

You can't even tell what game it is

Achtius · Apr 23, 2012

lol, it literally took me couple seconds to find the name on it

Cjdamon042 · Apr 23, 2012

It looks like a magazine cover...Why did they think it was a good idea? lol

Though I don't think anything beats this for worst boxart ever...

Limanima · Apr 23, 2012

There's still some room for another quote in he's forehead.

Oppo · Apr 23, 2012

VeryGooster · Apr 23, 2012

Edit: ^ :lol perfect

I don't know what people are mad about. I'm glad they plastered all those review scores! It's not like that "Game of the Year" banner and the extra content would be any indication that this might be a product worth looking at!

Venfayth said:
Is this real? For nearly the entirety of the game you don't even get to see the monsters trying to kill you, and it's on the box?

Not only that but actually looks worse than the ingame model, they would have been better off with an actual screenshot.

or this:
