    Lol its just box art. Why boycott a game bec of box art. lol.

    People can be such assholes who just want to get their own way all the time and if they don't they have a fit.
    I didn't want to just say gamers bec I have seen people do the same thing about an album cover

    It's not amazing box art or anything (I wouldn't go as far as "terrible"), but all that matters is that the content in the box is good...

    I makes it look like this is just another action shooter (which it's not) and it's that reason people are taking issue with it. It's just marketing.

    It's nothing special, but I honestly don't see why it would be worth boycotting the game over.

    I bet that when the covers for the Twilight books came out, not one obsessive tween girl raised so much as an eyebrow.

    Stuff like this makes me feel embarrassed to be a gamer.

    Yep, reading this reminded me of why I decided to pull out of "Gamer Culture". I am much happier just playing what I want and not give 2 fucks what anybody things of the box art or whatever the latest "OH NOES!" drama to grip the gaming world happens to be.

    Just needs a bigger zeppelin in the backround or needs to be standing on one. A burning zeppelin might of caused controversy though.
