My dynamic desktop wallpaper looks better than that box art...

That box art looks mediocre AF.
Please tell me I can find this on Wallpaper Engine when I get to my PC later. If not, there did you get it?

I had bad feeling about cover art when they released revised maleV and emphasis on use of yellow.

But glad to see that CDPR keeps stacking regular editions with goodies.

Resetera proceeds to bitch about the smallest things as usual. If a generic white dude works for sales then who cares.

Witcher 3 cover art was a nod to the (German) cover art of the Polish movie released in 2001

But I have my game DVD in the steelbook anyway, which has this fantastic art on it

I never quite realized how bad the TW3 boxart was. A render of Geralt on a white background, not even a gradient or anything.

Yup I got this one. Fantastic work, its a pity they dont go for more artistic ones for the standard editions, BUT at the same time its always nice that their standard editions come with goodies that any other company would pass for collectors editions.

Box art looks fine. I mean it's not some fine art piece but they never are. Few games get out of the traditional look. Especially big ones. GTA did, but now they're stuck with the same look because it's known.

Looks like Witcher, so it's also expected because of that.

That yellow is gonna fucking pop on store shelves and digital marketplaces. Good choice for getting attention.

If that is real that might be the worst looking box art I have ever seen for a game I am hyped about

Wow I did not know this. Was Witcher 3 Geralt default armor design basically based on this cover too....?

Also those steelbook covers are incredible.

Would have loved if the cover was reminiscent of the OG Cyberpunk tabletop case or book or something.

Casuals love a dude with a gun, shame that it's a bit dry looking but I can see why they went with that.

If not for the fact that the box will certainly contain a GOG code I would buy that physical. Those are some fantastic box contents.

Yeah, that game armor was pretty much based on that movie cover

And there were more steelbook covers one could get with the Collector's Edition

That is pretty much it. People whining about box art might care about composition and quality of the art, but if it is something to sell to the masses you have to go as bland and non-threatening as possible.

Not a fan of the box art, like others, but for me it largely doesn't matter as I'll be getting it on PC.

I hope there's a reversible cover with the female protagonist on it. I don't think it matters though, because that yellow is butt ugly. If there's a steel book edition announced, I hope it's not as bad.

Some of you people forgetting what are boxarta for in the first place. Reminds me over whining about Spider-Man generic boxart. Welp, it shines on the shelves people, you dont need anything else with these games. They can give a fuck about if its original or good looking
