Yeah, but the collector's editions of ME2 and 3 had badass covers, so it balances out somewhat.
-
Yeah, I'm actually kind of confused why the Internet was acting like Oblivion looked so awesome. It looked like a crappy generic sci-fi to me. Also I don't like Tom Cruise.
-
Pretty sure he was just trying to pick two things that don't ordinarily go together. *Edit* - Also, where I still get hung up is the premise that the bland cover will actually attract anyone. Everyone just seems to be taking that as a fact, without giving any reason to believe it.
-
Taken down due to copyright claim, here's another: I don't understand what companies think they're gaining by removing their advertisements from Youtube. Doesn't look like it based on the trailer. In Titan AE Earth is completely gone.

PXOD Secret Santa 2012 -- Targets Assigned!
TheMightyEthan replied to P4: Gritty Reboot's topic in Event Planning
I'd say so. Unless it's a game you want to keep for yourself or have someone else you'd like to give it to instead. -
But they do turn people off to stuff. There have been a bunch of times (granted when I was younger and not as informed about games) that I ignored a game on the shelf because the cover made it look bland and crappy, only to (sometimes years) later find out that it was actually a really good game. If I saw that cover and didn't already know what Bioshock was I'd assume it was some shitty knockoff shooter and ignore it. That WAS the reaction I had to Uncharted 1, for example. Obviously Uncharted 1 sold fine, but can anyone here say whether that was because of or in spite of the box art?

My understanding is that the hardware won't be (easily) upgradeable. Gabe said something like "If people want something they can mess with the hardware on, then they can build their own PC". That said, I'm sure the hardware will be updated as time goes on, and since it's going to be running PC games the transitions can be smoother, they don't have to have a hard cutoff between generations. *Edit* - I could see system specs in the future being listed with a category for SteamBox. eg:

Some more. I really like this version of Winter Wonderland: Plus a couple of classics that must be mentioned: Not explicitly Christmas, but it's certainly wintery.
-
Not actually a Christmas song, but I associate it with Christmas for some reason anyway (probably because deer season is early December): Also, must have to mention this:
-
Q's voice jumped out at me instantly, but didn't realize that was Mr. Gibbs on the ship. Why I came in here: Super stoked.
-
Back to the box art: I still think there's no excuse for how boring and bland that box art is. Something based on this would have given the exact same shooty badass vibe, but looks so much better.
-
Yeah, Firefly only ever got one season of like 12 episodes.
-
Hmm, I'll have to try it then. I thought it was a direct sequel.
-
I like to wait until December to put up the tree and house lights and stuff, but because it's best to do that on a weekend it sometimes happens in late November, depending on when the 1st falls. This year it was perfect since the 1st was a Saturday. I'm pretty sure we've got all our shopping done too, so we're sitting pretty.
-
Okay, but that doesn't change that it's building on the first one, which I haven't played through because the controls just felt wrong.
-
His name's Jack Harper and the guns at least look like something straight out of Mass Effect. Hmmm....
-
Like Dean said, drink plenty of water. Hangovers are primarily caused by being dehydrated, so anything you can do to offset that is going to help.
-
I hope that's a joke...
-
Yeah, it's the display they're using.
-
I never get a hangover at all when I drink Mike's Hard or things like it, though that's because there's so much sugar that my stomach starts hurting after like 1.5 drinks so I can't drink the rest of the night and never get drunk in the first place.
-
This is a very valid point that I hadn't thought about. Though I will say that I'm definitely not in the "was already going to buy it" category. Though I am more interested in it than I was in 2. I couldn't stand the gunplay in the first one (which I know was not the point of the game, but it was bad enough I just couldn't do it), and since the second was a continuation of the same story I didn't want to start it without playing the first one. But since this one's a reboot I'm intrigued again.
-
I'm 5.5 hours into P3P. I must just not have been in the right mood when I tried FES, because I quit that right after the first battle (not because of the battle system, but because all the exposition had bored the crap out of me), but I'm really liking P3P now.
-
I don't get how making a bland-ass cover is supposed to increase sales. You know what that cover screams to me? "Generic Manshooter". So why would I buy that when I could buy Call of Duty instead? That cover isn't something that's going to make people pick it up to look at the back because it looks interesting, it's going to make it fade into the background so people don't even see it.
-
Ubisoft's got ZombiU out, which I presume is rated 18 and is definitely a major part of Nintendo's push to seem more relevant to the core.
-
It may not be technically false, but it's sure as hell misleading. But we've had this discussion already.
