I always knew in the back of my head that they were gonna use a "fake review phrase" gag, but I was expecting a parody of something like this:

no balls activision!

 

[Courage]

I like it. Simplistic and not obnoxious.

 

[QisTopTier]

Why does Psylocke have no ass?

 

[abstract alien]

I genuinely liked it, until i saw the bottom half. What a way to blow it.

 

[Kajiba]

Simple

I actually like it.

 

[SamuraiX-]

"This is what awesome looks like" - ME

You... can't be serious.....

 

[Brainiac 8]

Heh, I actually like the boxart, and the joke is clever...especially after the 10 out of 10 boxart of Arkham City.

 

[Salsa]

I just think it's a tremendous wasted opportunity for meta-humor. Everyone knows and complains about those "BEST GAME EVER EDITION" type things so I think they could have used the chance to poke fun at something like that

it's what deadpool would do

 

[Skilletor]

"This is what awesome looks like" - ME

New to the character of Deadpool?

What the FUCK did they do to the X-women? My poor Psylocke.

 

[GameE]

I like it

 

[Gamespawn]

Why does Psylocke have no ass?

american company vs japanese company?

I prefer Capcom's rendition.

 

[Calvarok]

Expecting the arkham thing is expecting too much, but everything about this is perfect. The dumb power pose at the bottom... so good.

EDIT: Holy crap, there are no visible guns! That's basically not allowed in boxarts!

 

[SloaneRisette]

That boxart is kinda... eh, yeah.

Never thought about doing some full-on parody like the Arkham City GOTY edition boxart, now THAT would have been great.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Kinda surprised marketing didn't push to make Wolverine more prominent.

 

[Raonak]

heh. I like it

 

[King Tubby]

From everything I've seen this looks like it's going to be Trying Too Hard: The Game.

 

[Ryce]

I just think it's a tremendous wasted opportunity for meta-humor. Everyone knows and complains about those "BEST GAME EVER EDITION" type things so I think they could have used the chance to poke fun at something like that

it's what deadpool would do

I'm pretty sure putting 10/10 on the box or something would be skirting on illegality. False advertising and all of that.

 

[Courage]

It also perfectly conveys what Deadpool's schtick is without making him seem annoying, as he is most of the times.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Hey, Domino is in it.

Awight.

 

[Salsa]

I'm pretty sure putting 10/10 on the box or something would be skirting on illegality. False advertising and all of that.

sure, they could have been a bit more ambiguous about it, not necessarely "10/10 - fake games site"

 

[wenis]

it's scary to think that maybe this boxart is a level of subverted humor that Deadpool is playing at. Having clean and neat box art that looks actually decent and not the usual action game boxart.

 

[Squire]

Is that Rogue?!

 

[Loomer]

Smart & sexy, 10/10.

 

[Papercuts]

They could have had giant 10/10's labeled - me, another labeled - also me, etc.

Would have been pretty funny.

 

[GAMERG0D]

Who approved the white BG? Pretty ugly.

 

[Grayman]

I like it. Simplistic and not obnoxious.

Very poor form for deadpool

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

That would have been pretty good to parody that terrible Batman cover.

sure, they could have been a bit more ambiguous about it, not necessarely "10/10 - fake games site"

11/10!!!! - IGN

 

[Anticitizen One]

Lmao I love how they shoved Wolverine, hot girls, and tons of money on the cover

A+

 

[Sandfox]

I like it. Simplistic and not obnoxious.

That's like the opposite of what Deadpool is about.

 

[Courage]

Especially if the game is shit.

That's like the opposite of what Deadpool is about.

As wenis said, he's trolling us.

 

[BoosterDuck]

Where's Bob, Agent of Hydra? And Big Bertha? And Taskmaster?

 

[revolverjgw]

Actually kind of cool, Deadpool showing some emotion beyond "brooding and angry". That's nice

 

[Unicorn]

Psylocke, Cable, Wolverine? My old Mahvel 2 team all together? fuggya

 

[Courage]

Psylocke, Cable, Wolverine? My old Mahvel 2 team all together? fuggya

Cable, bruh? Really?

 

[LiK]

Awesome looks like generic crap.

 

[Grayman]

So is this game going to be good?

american company vs japanese company?

I prefer Capcom's rendition.

An American company started the big ass Psylocke!

 

[Spring-Loaded]

6/10. If Wolverine isn't actually in the game, then my score goes up four full points.

 

[AnbaLeumas]

I have no problem with it. It's more simple than I expected, but it's not bad.

 

[Salsa]

So is this game going to be good?

dunno

Transformer devs are cool, but although I like Deadpool's humor in the (old) comics something about the game looks like its trying waaaaaaaaaaaay too hard and that it's gonna come across in a big bad way

we'll see

 

[Kusagari]

If this game doesn't have a Squirrel Girl cameo I'll be severely disappointed.

 

[redmetal86]

Cable, bruh? Really?

Hyper Viper Beam all day.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Cable, bruh? Really?

Cable is the best X-Man. Everybody knows this.

 

[Dark Stalkers]

Is this supposed to be a decent game?

 

[J-Tier]

The cover should be reversible. With the other side being Wade's backside.

 

[Courage]

Cable is the best X-Man. Everybody knows this.

I dig him in comics, but anyone using him in MvC2 was usually laughed at. He broke the game.

 

[Grayman]

I do like the older comics, not Way's as much, I usually stay away from licensed action games though as it seems like a genre that is very easy to turn out bad.

 

[Anticitizen One]

He was boss in the original cartoon too

 

[Calvarok]

What? Deadpool is rarely ever brooding and angry in his modern times. If all you've seen is Origins Wolverine I can see how you'd think that, though.

By the way, yes, this game is trying too hard. That's what Deadpool is. That's perfect.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Why does Psylocke have no ass?

Haven't you heard? Having a small ass is the "hip" thing these days.

 

[GuardianE]

I like it okay.

Why does Psylocke have no ass?

I bet the ESRB required a reduction of "gratuitous ass" on the cover.
