Left 4 Dead controversy incoming!

Great Cover!

Erm, whats the controversy again?.

I was gonna buy it off of steam, but I want that box now.

Edit: Although, I guess it is a little gorey for box art.

But but why!?!? :cry:

MY GOD THE HAND IS MISSING A THUMB!:

Honestly now who cares, the box art looks great, and there are plenty of games, and movies with grisly box art or movie posters.

No offense, but why would it matter to you where I buy it from? I usually buy a game off of steam if I can, but I dont know, I just like the box art.

Video games aren't allowed to have such graphic content on the box in the eyes of the media. It's not just a crappy cover with some blood on it, and it's a lot more graphic than the Dead Space box art:

I remember that EA had to tone down the American McGee's Alice cover because of complaints, and that one's light years beyond Left 4 Dead's.

Bit unrealistic. Most places in space the hand would be frozen stiff at absolute zero with any moisture left on it forming ice around it.

I don't like it, I think the left 4 dead one is really clever even if it has little appeal outside of fans of grusomeness.

that the only unrealistic bit you want to point out?

Is there another?

And actually, the liquids would boil and the hand would increase in volume.

the hand could potentially explode of it's own volition (kinda, i suppose thats the wrong word seeing as the hand wouldn't choose to explode) seen as there is no external pressure on the hand and people kind of rely on that. although it could just swell like you said. whatever way you look at it, the hand wouldn't look like that.

Not complaining though, it's decent, although i don't think it's quite suitable. i also didn't know that EA got their logo onto spaceships. :P

And also I don't think anyone would be outside of a ship taking pictures of floated severed hands... So that's not really realistic either.

But I like the cover for left 4 dead. reminds me of a cover for a Romero film.

Uber DORKS!

How realistic is cover art? LOL

As far as the subject of the post? It depends on who wins the next election. If the Christain Right wins , this will be banned.

OK, so I decided to revive this thread because the cover has changed:

Kekeke.

Not by a lot. :P

But any bumpage on L4D threads is okay in my book. :P

Looks good to me.

But there is always someone who will call it out saying its too graphic or some other annoyance.

[QUOTE="biggest_loser"]What controversey? That its being released for Xbox?1005

And this was up on GiantBomb yesterday, no one mentioned controversy about it there. Its some smart advertising, 4 fingers when the game is called Left 4 Dead, quite clever i thought.

Why is it the zombies right hand then. It should be the left hand with 4 fingers on a dead man. Left 4 Dead, right? hahaha
