I'm sure the "LOVE STORY" part of the title sold many copies. /sarcasm Indeed, the cover is the main thing to blame for why the sequel sold so poorly compared to the first. a) make an artsy fartsy cover b) make the game sell Choose one. If it was me I'd choose a normal cover and hang this in some dinky gallery. ICO cover is another great example. While the US cover is poorly made, it doesn't make the European cover any less pretentious. And I don't need to tell you which one sold better. |
Bleh, thats the exact reason why a lot of TPS/FPS titles have generic covers on them. Random guy with a gun looking "badass" will always sell more than more arty designs. Look at the Bioshock Infinite cover for example :/
