Best/Worse "Guy with a Gun-stance" Cover Art
- Thread starter Prolepro
- Start date
From that list:
Box Art Clichés: Guys-with-guns Edition
Because there are only so many ways you can pose with a gun:Stock PoseNumber of OccurrencesThe Oscar Mike - You've got places to go and faces to shootwww.giantbomb.com
I liked LA Noire, Stranglehold, From Russia With Love, ODST...
In terms of bad: Bioshock Infinite, Mass Effect 3, Deus Ex IW, Uncharted 1/3...
Such a boss.
The worst box art of 2015
Each and every year, we like to subject ourselves to a special form of torture: diving headlong into a pool of abhorrent box art. Like Scrooge McDuck, we paddle through this bottomless vault of crappy
Cyberpunk is far, far better than most of this.
Uninspired? Sure. Trash? Hyperbole.
It has to be a guy?
well the ones in OP is not a guy so yeah this counts
man shame this game didn't get more attention
Gotta give it credit, though: at least it isn't blue and orange.
horrible
Nothing wrong with blue and orange. People dislike it because it's everywhere, but is it actually aesthetically displeasing?
It registers as the most visible color in the spectrum on shelves and digital marketplaces. That's all that matters.
Preferred this versionMGS2 was already mentioned, so...
hated this one tho:

wtf? Bond is turning into... Ellen Degeneres?
A complaint I can never get behind. There can be bad orange and blue posters as well as good ones. To me it's like saying "At least this salty dish isn't sweet, because there are too many foods that are already sweet".
To me it's a non-factor in gauging the quality of a box art. Not to say color isn't important and can't be used in striking ways, but it's just such a broad thing to dislike vs complaining about particular poses or compositions (Chin Down, Eyes Up/ Woman Character With Butt Facing The Viewer)
like idk, is this poster bad because it's blue and orange?
It's only bad because it looks like he's resting his head on the logo.
This is a good one. Just look at BJ, he's tired of this shit.
Yeah, I think this is a pretty good one. I haven't played it, but from this image, I think it says a lot about the main character. His posture, expression, the pile of helmets, it gives the impression that he just had a crazy gunfight that he really didn't want to have. He looks resigned and tired. Don't know how accurate it is, but I like the atmosphere it evokes.
Yeah I love it for that reason alone. You can tell BJ is getting tired of fighting the Nazis, especially considering he had twins on the way, but someone's gotta create a better world for them. I feel like this aspect of his character wasn't really explored until TNO and now TNC.
Wtf is this???? And why does he have a real pistol this is nothing like the gameDefinitely the GOAT "guy with a gun" image:
what's up mother-fuckers. this dude who plays drums in a P.O.D. cover band is going to fucking shoot you and also osama bin laden in the face, and he's turned his future gun sideways. bitch
My brain thankfully had purged this from memory but you less thankfully have restored it! What a misread on the tone of that series.
Came here to post this. On its own, it's not that bad or the worst among many others, but knowing all the other key art the game had and, really, what the game is actually about, this is really bad.The worst
Yeah, Turrican's soundtrack cover art is also quite awesome.

That's really cool yeh, feverishYeah, Turrican's soundtrack cover art is also quite awesome.

Worst: the original cover for DOOM 2016. A space marine just standing there, with a shotgun that looks like he got it at Walmart.
Best: pretty much any Yoji Shinkawa cover art
Best: pretty much any Yoji Shinkawa cover art
Great art with the sole exception being Joker's little nubbin gun arm that's holding a PNG of a pistol at an awkward angle
at least Haru is kicking Ryuji in the face back there
this was actually better than the original design where he looked like he was running with a surfboard
Outside of the gun surfboard and Shepard pulling the Dreamworks face, I actually prefer this box-art
boy you can sure tell what they were trying to do with Miranda though
They look like they're saying something too each other..The goat
And what's going on with the head of the guy in front?
Edit: oh it's his helmet! I thought that was his forehead. Now it just looks like his helmet has a hair line.
Utter shit
This is aesthetically pleasing, it's melancholic, it captures the overall feeling of the game (at least for me)
This is trash
This is Ultra Trash
This is trash
This is Ultra Trash
What the fuck?Looks like you just caught him cyber-jackin
My contribution:
This is the worst of the ME guy-with-a-gun covers; none of the faces look particularly right and the cover overall looks like it was cropped from a larger image
holy fuck it actually says "THE FUTURE WAR ON TERROR"
what's up mother-fuckers. this dude who plays drums in a P.O.D. cover band is going to fucking shoot you and also osama bin laden in the face, and he's turned his future gun sideways. bitch
