Why is American box art so incredibly soulless?
Why is American box art so incredibly soulless?
Fucking retarded SCEA. They apologized about it years later.
Soulful box art thread?
Americans don't appreciate nuance, subtlety or art. They instead crave for flashy and in your face kind of shit, and short simplistic slogans. Why else do 48% of americans believe that the universe is only 6,000 years old?
The game matters more than the box art, nigglander.
Because Americans are nothing but soulless consoomers.
This.
Butchering Japanese box art is shit but unfortunately you have to do this kind of stuff to market to Americans.
LOL
The japanese cover of the original is fucking garbage.
Everything needs to be angry and violent to americans, but god forbid even a hint of sexuality is shown.
Oh yeah, like americans had a choice in the matter, you fat effeminate dullard.
Obsessed.
Eh, they take shit out on us because they have been castrated by their own gov.
The art on the right is false advertising, there's no location like that in the actual game.
PAL is genuinely the best for a lot of these.
People like to fellate the japanese versions but the only one I think is thematically superior is SH2’s.
I’m american and this is true.
But more and more globalization is making all white western countries the same anyway. I’d say what this guy described might have been specifically accurate for america a decade or two ago but now everyone is a mindless media following dopamine drone.
No user you don't understand they held an election in America to change the box art for Ico you don't understand
That is a good point.
>I never asked for this
Tomorrow morning I am going to first contact Team Ico requesting a full refund, a written apology for their false advertisement ofIco and to request that they can no longer market the game or any releases as part of the collection with that cover art.
I will request a 30 day notice on this email and if I don’t get both, which I suspect I won’t, certainly the latter, I’ll be filing an initial complaint with the advertising regulators and also will raise a lawsuit against Sony and Team Ico for the emotional distress this has caused me, in having sold me the dream of a running through wide expanses as shown in the cover art not delivering on this.
I am deadly serious, I will update on here first before anywhere else.
I doubt it's more than 15%
I don’t recall wandering around a sandy beach in ICO. The box art on the right is misrepresenting the game.
>adam jensen infilrating the golf course
Because Americans don't like artsy shit, they like LOUD and MANLY. It's really stupid and one if the (few) things i don't like about this country. Companies are very aware of it and so always avoid portraying their content as complex. Its either inspirational or very loud and simplistic.
T. Marketing and advertising degree
Note: Dont get a marketing and advertising degree
I dont mind the burger art for most of these but the yuros and united statesians completely butchered the wii one and made it ugly as sin
>pay some artschool dropout to do style copy of a famous artist's work and throw in some OCs
>"real art"
at least the boxart on the left is honest
so youre saying americans are based, got it
being an ironic grug is based, being an unironic grug is not based and nigger tier.
kek had to put a guy shooting a fuckin machine gun on the box
what i am watching leftfag?
You don't know anything about art, do you?
Americans are barely above niggers.
based americans demanding an end to the plandemic lockdown
It was the Directors personal art project, you fucking retard. It was an homage to an Italian artist he admires.
trump golems are retarded
>NOOOOOOO YOU CAN’T JUST LET A CUTE CHARACTER LOOK CUTE HE HAS TO BE ANGRY AND HARDCORE AND BADASS
Americans are 44% NIGGER. Every single one of them.
That's why everything they do is bad.
The jap ones are surprisingly weak.
