BioShock Infinite Gets a "Reversible Cover"

[Tireseas_v1legacy]

I do agree with your choices for the redo of the cover art, except for 1, 1 seems a bit sparse, I liked 4, 5,and 6 in no particular order just because of the content is very telling. If 1 was the first cover with the title and everything on it, one wouldn't know what the game is about really at first look.

I'm of the school that says it is better to have too little than too much in a cover.

For example:

Spoiler: Cluttered (and particularly ugly) ME2 cover

Spoiler: Simple but streamlined cover for ME3

Spoiler: The Original

If we're going for quality covers, let's go for the one that actually looks like it's from a Space Opera.

Fair enough, I just thought the background of number 1 was a bit... bland, maybe if she were standing in the background of the original, I'd be more inclined to vote it up, but from the looks of it number 4 is going to win.

They all don't really look like any fuck was given, do they? More like "Hey, I want 5 alternative covers by 2pm today."

 

[Your Gaffer]

I like 2 or 6.
I also find it really funny that they've gone "Hmm, people hate the cover? Let's give them the same cover but with a lady on it!
GENIUS!"

How many covers feature a female character? Next to none.

I think several of them look pretty good. I voted for #4 (even though I will only ever buy a digital copy) and I bet his (Ken's) favorite is #6, reminiscent of his cover for Bioshock.

Well, yeah, good point.
Except for the fact that you're completely wrong.

While the focus of the cover in many may not be the female characters, and I know someone is going to go "but that one looks sexist so it doesn't count!" the fact of the matter is that other than the ones I posted, there's a fucking lot of game covers with female characters on it to prove you wrong with.
Do some research next time, eh?

 

[Brutal Peanut]

I'm torn between #4 and #6, but I am leaning pretty heavily towards #4, not sure exactly why. I'm just drawn to it.

 

[ZehMadScientist]

Number 4 all the way. It just has... something.

Anywho, awesome red ink cover or generic American Spunkgargleweewee cover or no cover at all, I can't wait for the game to come out

You make my point for me! Even cherry picking titles you have to include several where women are not even the focus, just on the cover somewhere. Pathetic.

Go through game by game, and tell me what percentage of the covers feature a female, ANYWHERE on the cover.

You know what?
No. I am not your ***** to search through games in one generation on one console to find a pointless percentage.
You said that "nearly no" games had females on the cover and you were fucking wrong. That's it. If you or someone else wants to scour through this so you can complain about a stupid non-issue then feel fucking free, but I'm not going to waste my time so I can argue with you.

Now you retreat into semantics. What a feeble attempt at argument.

 

[LobsterFeng]

Am I the only one that likes #1? I don't know why but I like the way she's looking at me, and I don't mean that in a creepy way.

Trying to sound like a bond villain isn't going to win you any arguments either. It's most terribly droll.

I'm not breaking into semantics. You said a statement, I spent 5 minutes thinking of titles off the top of my head, finding the images and posting them to show otherwise, you then expanded the requirements of "must be prominent" and "must be found within a 250 page list".

I provided evidence contrary to what you initially said so you respond by giving me a massively time consuming task that I obviously won't fulfill so therefore I'm proved wrong?
Please. Again, if you really want to give me precise percentages then by all means knock yourself out, but I have better things to do.

4, looks like a freaky childrens book.
