Worst Cover Art Ever: Batman Arkham City GOTY Edition

It’s only fair that review quotes and new features are listed in large font. Even by GOTY standards, however, Batman Arkham City GOTY has ridiculously awful cover art:

Its ugly but many people who will be buying this edition care more about the dlc/movie and not the box art

Abash4378d ago

Glad I still have the original boxart with my copy for PS3

lastdual4378d ago

Yeah, in this case the original box art looks leagues better than the bad-magazine-ad GOTY cover.

I'm still curious as to whether the GOTY content will all be included on-disk, or if we'll just get a bunch of DLC vouchers. If it's the later, there's not much incentive for collectors.

DlocDaBudSmoka4377d ago

@Lastdual its download vouchers. i enlarged the pic and it said harley quinns revenge and batman year one download redeemable from xbox live. expires march/31/2013

Relientk774378d ago

This really is an awful box art. I dont kno what they were thinking honestly

Nate-Dog4378d ago

Seasick-Steve themed Space-Invaders game? I'd buy it.

MattyG4378d ago (Edited 4378d ago )

Oh wow. I was going to put this. But yours is way worse. I don't know how it's possible, but I guess it is.

Relientk774378d ago

Ok I am not gonna lie, thats pretty bad lol

chazjamie4378d ago (Edited 4378d ago )

That cover art sure is sleazy and cheap. The game is considered to be the ipad of gaming (not me though, bored me to tears after an hour). Yet, it looks like an advert for the shitty Easter eggs that didnt sell to well.

h311rais3r4378d ago

What? U couldn't be more wrong.

PirateThom4378d ago

It would be awesome if it wasn't for all the reviewer statements and bonus content and just had the "game of the year" banner.

I wonder how many already have them.

gamefreaks365868d ago

Yeah, that's a good point. Still, if anyone missed out on them, this is a great deal.

Jeriphro868d ago

Wow. That is so cheap, but I know I personally already have all the games in the list. haha. I guess I should have waited.

Good Games with Bad Cover Art

The article should have mentioned Mega Man in Street Fighter X Tekken was based on that cover.

They forgot Ico though, amazing game with the worst box art every for north america, and great box art for Japan.

I remember Meg Man's box art I had the game, hard game terrible art cover :D

WGAF1551d ago

Landstalker should be on this list. The cover was a disservice to how great that game was back on Sega genesis. Though many Atari or Nintendo game covers back then aren't any better.

ChrisW1551d ago

Landstalker's box art isn't that bad. There's quite a bit of detail in it and the body proportions are fairly accurate. However, Nigel's face is a bit... ummm... Kind of like a mash up of Spock and Kirk, with a bit of Kirk yelling, "KHAAAAAAAN!"

Endyo1551d ago

I bought a poster of that Mega Man box art because it's so bad it's looped back around to being incredible.

Redeem before that and you can keep them forever.

You can keep them forever if you redeem them for your account before September 26.

Epic Game Store bad!

Oh, free games? Nice!🤣

Petebloodyonion1673d ago

My problem with EPG is forcing ppl to buy from their store via exclusives locking.

The why is simple. EPG has yet to establish basic feature as a forum to allow players to ask questions or talk game issues.
The always-online also cause issues for the simple fact that it would mean that you lose your purchase if Epic decide to close the store.

Now I have good faith that Epic will address topics and will improve the quality of the store (for example they have now the same refund policy as Steam).

AnubisG1673d ago

Wouldn't it be nicer if you were able to just...I don't know...buy your games on a disc, bring them home and than install and play them so no company would force you to use a usless app such as a launcher? I know, crazy idea😄

PC players wanted a digital only future. Here it is in all it's glory.

Next stop, streaming services because digital only isn't screwing people over enough.😁

You can still get the free games even if you want to publicly hate EGS and their exclusives policy.

"The always-online also cause issues for the simple fact that it would mean that you lose your purchase if Epic decide to close the store."

You can access the app and play your games offline. I was playing BL3 yesterday when my internet was down for maintenance.

As far as losing your games if the store closes, that's true for all digital platforms.

Petebloodyonion1672d ago

@PorkChop
It's good news to know that you can now access your games offline on the EGS apps for it wasn't always the case.
As for losing the game if Steam would close well do you know that can back up the majority of Steam games on a physical media? as long as you have your account (offline) you will be able to play them.
But I agree that more and more games demand online authentification before you can play the game.
