I'll admit I haven't kept up with the Farcry 3 media, but why is there a guy poking his head out of some beach?

 

[Slayer-33]

What the fuck

 

[~Kinggi~]

It is obviously a form of torture by the sadistic cover fella

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Photoshops incoming.

Awful art. Makes me instantly think the game is shit.

 

[Wario64]

Are you saying it's not? Because it is.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Also this boxart has been around for quite some time now. I think the US release has a radial blur applied to it.

 

[Shake Appeal]

It's cool. Better than most videogame covers.

 

[The Cartographer]

Are you saying it's not? Because it is.

Like he said

 

[-PXG-]

It's a little better than what they had before. And when I say "a little" I mean that the "improvement" is infinitesimal.

The head in the sand has them derp eyes.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Is that a nextgen Digglet?

 

[GotchaForce]

Mike Patton goes to the beach with Eric Bana!

 

[Deleted member 81567]

Lol, what's wrong with it? It looks fine.

 

[Jinfash]

I actually like it.

It's selling me on the game and mohawks.

 

[Slayer-33]

I like the boxart but I'm wondering how the guy got dug in like that.

 

[Draft]

It's awesome.

 

[Cheesecakebobby]

Why be like every other boxart and feature a bald white man holding a gun, when you can feature an almost-bald white man holding a gun? Such innovation from Ubi

 

[Messofanego]

Evocative box art, will have people talking and says plenty about how hostile the world will be. Very bold of them to have the villain instead of the hero on the front cover.

Any games that have only the villain on the box art?

 

[Forkball]

 

[V_Ben]

The definition of madness.

 

[Slayer-33]

Hahaha

 

[AwakenedCloud]

It's good, I like how it implies some of the stuff you can do in the game.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

The guy in the sand just looks silly. Like he's built a little hideout and is looking out.

 

[Loxley]

I'll admit I lol'd hard when I scrolled down and saw the buried head in the sand.

But aside from that I actualy think it looks just fine.

*edit - for those that don't have 70" monitors:

 

[Rapstah]

Why is everything in focus?

 

[erpg]

Head seems too far from the tide for this to work properly.

 

[Hot Coldman]

That is by far the funniest thing on GAF all year.

 

[Jinfash]

lolnvm

 

[Broder Salsa]

I want to buy that in poster size and put it on my wall behind my couch in the living room.

 

[Wario64]

I just noticed the hanging guys on the left


This is box art of the year, calling it now.

 

[Seventy_X_Seven]

Why do people not like this box art? It's much better than the loads of "let's just litter it with a ton of stuff" box arts and the "let's make it really simply, just a white background and some dude/object" box arts.

Also, people do realize the guy in the sand was kidnapped and buried by the psycho looking dude, right? Without knowing anything about the game that seems pretty obvious.

 

[Slayer-33]

lolnvm

Wut.

I just noticed the hanging guys on the left


This is box art of the year, calling it now.

Gotta love the T-Shirts not draping their face and staying in place lol.

 

[PhantomOfTheKnight]

LOL derpy had in the sand makes the boxart a win for me.

Also, FC3 is Ubisoft? Could've sworn it was Square-Enix on this one.

 

[Brazil]

I like it, so... Yeah.

 

[Dabanton]

I like it.

It's hilarious sadistic and from seeing the video the character sitting down is supposed to be deranged is he not?

 

[FunkyPajamas]

Edit: beaten lol

I love the cover btw

 

[Criminal Upper]

Uh, I think that's great. Doesn't take itself too seriously, and most of all, doesn't have "Guy walking dramatically towards the camera holding a gun"

LIKE EVERY OTHER MODERN FPS BOXART EVER.

 

[slaughterking]

That guy in the sand has seen things.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

I don't get why people hate the cover. It's noticeable at a quick glance like if you were scanning a rack of games on the wall due to its color and the guy pictured is gonna be a badass villain. We've all seen the trailers

 

[squidyj]

 

[Subliminal]

I'm completely baffled why some people seem to think it looks good, It's just completely derpy.

 

[Visualante2]

A wild diglett appeared!

Gotta love the T-Shirts not draping their face and staying in place lol.

Half tuck: confirmed.
Addendum, if I can't do that in the game. I'm not buying it.

 

[gabbo]

Why is everything in focus?

LOL, that's a very valid question.

 

[alr1ght]

 

[Jinfash]

double nvm.

 

[DoctorPayne]

Almost looks like a poster for a buddy cop movie. 'Look at this guy, he's wacky, he got stuck in sand! His no-nonsense partner won't be pleased!'

 

[Wario64]

hahahah

 

[JdFoX187]

Dude looks like Khal Drogo shaved his hair and opted for a mohawk.

 

[rouken]

clever marketing really.

it just shows how crazy the antagonist will be, that people will buy the game just because they want to kill him because you will feel pity for the sand guy. lol.

 

[Loxley]

I'm completely baffled why some people seem to think it looks good, It's just completely derpy.

I think some people honestly didn't notice the buried guy on the bottom-left. That's all I can think of.

 

[Odrion]

To be honest, this boxart has increased by interest in the game by a lot.

Nice to see they're continuing with the brutal themes of Far Cry 2.
