Frightening, isn't it? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

"Commie Miyamoto no approve that box art. He one ugly f*cker! Artist must die!!"

No comment? Are you worried I've totally lost it? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Hey that art is indeed a piece of s**t for box art. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

<i>Worried that you haven't lost it? You must be kidding. You think I still wonder about that?</i> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

@Cylon: There's piles of people right pissed about the box art, and it got so bad that the artist removed it from his website. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> I may have an idea for an improved face on that fellow, but I guarantee you they won't find it funny <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> .

<i>Update: Somebody over on the TW forum already brought my idea to fruition - the front cover now prominently features Osama <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> . Needless to say, that didn't go over well <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> . Armagan no doubt'll remove the pic - he's becoming a tad fanatical about protecting what other forum users have nicknamed "Frodogorn" <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> . There's topics in every sub-forum over there now about how crappy the box art is - and lots of people pissed that Ganbat (the fellow who made all the in-game and site illustrations) wasn't chosen as the box artist.

Paradox (the publisher) is also promoting the game as though it's like Oblivion, and that it's a free-roaming game - apparently, they somehow forgot about the world map <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> . I don't think they need any more input from me - they've stirred up enough trouble on their own <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> .

Yep, this game is going down the crapper (what does that word mean? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />). <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

It means it's going down the toilet <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> . A pity, too - I started playing with .751, and remember thinking how much potential it had then. I think the devs lost their way <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> .
